UKGC reminds online casinos to verify customer identities before gambling
The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) reminded online casino operators of existing identity-verification requirements in a blog published on Wednesday, according to the report. The regulator said operators must verify customers’ names, addresses and dates of birth before they gamble, and warned that incomplete details and fuzzy matching can undermine checks, including links to GAMSTOP.
Operators must verify identity details before play to support age checks and accurate self-exclusion matching.
