Account Lifecycle and Identity Management

The digital account is the nexus of the regulated environment. At AK Bets Limited, the account system is built upon a foundation of mandatory identity verification and real-time behavioral monitoring.

1. Identity Binding and KYC Gateways

Identity verification (KYC) is not a one-time event but a continuous process. Upon registration, the AK Bets system initiates an API call to verified identity providers (like GBG or LexisNexis). This system matches name, date of birth, and address against national databases. If a "High Confidence" match is not returned, the account is placed in a "Pending Verification" state where all deposit and wagering functions are disabled.

Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD)

For users who reach certain financial thresholds, the system automatically triggers EDD protocols. This requires the submission of Source of Wealth (SOW) documentation. This technical gate is essential for the operator to meet Anti-Money Laundering (AML) requirements under license 65961.

2. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

To prevent Account Takeover (ATO), the platform utilizes MFA. This involves the use of TOTP (Time-based One-Time Passwords) delivered via SMS or encrypted authenticator apps. This adds a critical security layer, ensuring that even if credentials are leaked, the user's funds and personal data remain protected.

3. Responsible Gaming (RG) Logic

The account system is hard-coded with RG tools. Users can set deposit limits that are enforced at the server level. If a user attempts to exceed their limit, the system rejects the transaction at the database layer before it reaches the payment processor. This is a core compliance feature of AK Bets Limited's infrastructure.

4. Session Integrity

To protect users from unauthorized access on shared devices, the system enforces session timeouts and reality checks. A "Reality Check" is a pop-up that pauses the session at defined intervals, providing the user with an overview of their activity. This technical intervention is mandatory in the UK market.
