This page walks through identity verification at 1King, stage by stage. It covers what gets collected before you verify, what happens during the check, and how things work once it's done. It also covers login security and how to reach support with a privacy question.
Verification exists to confirm a real person stands behind every account. That's standard across licensed gambling sites, and 1 King follows the same approach. Nothing here goes beyond what the platform has confirmed about its own process.
Before You Verify: What Gets Requested
Before any document goes anywhere, it helps to know what 1King actually asks for. The list is short and tied directly to confirming who you are.
- A colour copy of your passport — the first two pages, plus a residency stamp page if one applies to you.
- Or a colour copy of your national ID card, as an alternative to a passport.
- On request, a driving licence copy or a recent utility bill, used to confirm your address.
- A phone number, confirmed through phone verification.
Each item ties to a specific check. The passport or ID confirms your identity and age. The address proof, when requested, confirms where you live. The phone step confirms a working contact line tied to your account.
Choosing Video Verification Instead
Some players prefer not to upload scanned documents at all. 1King offers a video verification option for exactly this case. You speak directly with a representative, who confirms your identity in that live conversation.
This route skips document uploads entirely. It still meets the same verification standard as a document-based check. Either path leads to the same outcome: a confirmed, verified account.
During Verification: Why 1 King Asks for This
KYC stands for Know Your Customer. It's the identity-check process used across regulated gambling sites. Every piece of data it collects serves a specific purpose. None of it is collected without reason.
- Confirming you meet the minimum age of 18 to hold an account.
- Confirming the account belongs to the person actually using it.
- Supporting fraud prevention across the platform.
- Meeting the compliance obligations tied to operating under a Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA) licence.
This is standard practice across regulated gambling platforms generally, not something unique to 1King's process. Any licensed operator runs a comparable check before it lets a player withdraw funds.
After Verification: How Your Data Is Handled
Once your documents or your video call are reviewed, your account moves into verified status. From that point, your information supports the same purposes it was collected for.
Industry-standard practice across regulated gambling platforms treats identity documents as sensitive. They're used for verification, compliance, and fraud prevention, and for nothing beyond that scope. This framework applies broadly to CGA-licensed operators, including 1King.
Do you want to know more about how your specific documents were handled? The support team is the right place to ask. They can speak to your account directly. A general policy page cannot do that.
Keeping Your Login Credentials Private
Account security starts with a simple habit: keep your password to yourself. Sharing login details, even with someone you trust, puts both your account and your verified identity data at risk.
A private password is the first line of defence around everything else described on this page. It's a small habit that protects a lot.
Getting in Touch About a Privacy Question
Questions about identity data, verification, or anything else covered here can go through 1 King's regular support channels. The same team handles account questions and privacy questions alike.
- Email — [email protected], the recommended channel for anything involving personal documents.
- Support button — found in the main site navigation.
- Telegram — 1King's official channel, also open for these questions.
Email is worth using specifically when your question touches personal documents. It leaves a written record of what you asked and what you were told, which can matter later.
