AML / KYC Policy

This Anti-Money Laundering and Know Your Customer Policy ("AML/KYC Policy") sets out how FundedSlots identifies, verifies, and monitors Users to prevent the platform being used for money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, or sanctions evasion. It expands on, and should be read together with, Section 11 (Compliance Controls) of the Terms of Service - where the two differ, this Policy governs the detail of the compliance procedure and the Terms govern the contractual consequences of non-compliance.

This Policy applies to every User at registration and on an ongoing basis throughout their relationship with the Provider, regardless of account size, challenge type, or funded status.

The Provider applies a risk-based approach: the depth and frequency of due diligence scale with the risk a User's profile, activity, and jurisdiction present, rather than being identical for every account.

• Standard Due Diligence (CDD). applied to all Users at registration and prior to Funded Stage progression - identity, date of birth, and address verification.
• Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD). applied where risk indicators are present - inconsistent account information, activity from a higher-risk jurisdiction, a Politically Exposed Person (PEP) match, unusual payout patterns, or prior compliance flags.

Before a payout request is approved, and at any other point the Provider reasonably requires, a User must provide:

• Government-issued photographic identification (passport or national ID card)
• Proof of current residential address, dated within the preceding three months
• For amounts or risk profiles requiring it, a source-of-funds declaration
• For legal entities, incorporation documents and proof of authority for the individual acting on the entity's behalf

Verification may be performed directly or through a third-party identity verification provider acting on the Provider's behalf. Documents that are expired, illegible, inconsistent with account information, or that appear altered will be rejected, and the User will be asked to resubmit.

Every User is screened against applicable sanctions and watchlists (including but not limited to UN, OFAC, EU, and UAE designations) at registration and on an ongoing basis, together with Politically Exposed Person (PEP) and adverse media screening.

A confirmed sanctions match results in immediate account suspension and, where legally required, the funds are frozen rather than returned, pending the outcome of a report to the relevant authority. A PEP match does not automatically bar an account but triggers Enhanced Due Diligence and senior compliance review before any payout is approved.

Verification is not a one-time gate. Trading activity, payout requests, and account behaviour are monitored on an ongoing basis for patterns consistent with money laundering, structuring, or coordinated multi-account abuse - including device and IP linkage analysis across accounts, as described in Terms of Service Section 11.11.1.

A material change to a User's registration information, an unusual payout pattern, or a risk indicator arising after initial verification may trigger a fresh round of due diligence before any further payout is processed.

Identity documents, verification records, and transaction/payout history are retained for a minimum of five years following the end of the User's relationship with the Provider, or longer where applicable law or an ongoing investigation requires it. Records are retained to meet regulatory obligations, not indefinitely by default - see the Privacy Policy for how this interacts with data subject deletion requests.

Where the Provider identifies activity reasonably suspected of being connected to money laundering, terrorist financing, or fraud, it will file a report with the competent authority as required by applicable law. Consistent with standard AML practice, the Provider will not notify the User that a report has been made ('tipping off' is itself unlawful in most jurisdictions this Policy applies in).

Failure to complete requested verification within the timeframe given, submission of false or altered documentation, or an unjustified refusal to cooperate may result in account suspension, forfeiture of eligibility for a Performance Reward pending resolution, or termination - see Terms of Service Section 11.6 for the full list of consequences.

Verification-related correspondence, including document submission requests and status questions, should go to support@fundedslots.com rather than a general inbox, so it reaches the team actually handling compliance review.
