Account first, documents when they are needed

Sign Up

Registration at Betride and verification at Betride are two separate events. A player opens an account, deposits and plays; the identity check is tied to the moment a withdrawal is requested, and to a short list of further events. We prefer to say in advance what those events are, so that a request for documents never arrives as a surprise.

Opening the account

An adult player who wishes to play creates an account on the Betride site and confirms that he or she is 18 or over. Registration itself does not require a document upload. The account is usable for deposits and play as soon as it exists, and the verification file is opened later, when one of the triggers named in this text occurs.
We keep one rule in mind for every step that follows: the details given at registration must be the player’s own. A name that differs from the name on a payment method or on an identity document prevents the check from being completed.

The triggers for additional verification

The first withdrawal

The identity check is mandatory before the first withdrawal. This is the main trigger, and it applies to every player whatever the size of the request. We ask for the front and back of an identity document. The standard route uses a mobile verification flow in which a QR code opens the upload on a phone, so the document is photographed and sent from the same device.

A request for further documents

Our verification policy reserves the right to ask for more than the identity document. A player may be asked for the following, one at a time or together:

• proof of address;
• a second identity document;
• a photograph of the player holding an open passport;
• a photograph of the bank card used for a deposit;
• proof that the payment method belongs to the player;
• a telephone check before a cash-out.

These requests are not routine for every account. They follow from what the file shows, and the support team states which item is missing and why.

A document that fails the first review

When an image is unreadable or the details do not match, we ask for the document again. A player can avoid the delay by sending sharp, complete images with all four corners visible and no reflections.

Time limits

Three periods matter to a player, and only one of them is in the player’s hands.

The sending time is in the player’s hands. A player who keeps the files ready can send them as soon as the request is made, and the 24 hours then run without a gap.

Which route to use

Matching names

The name on the account, the name on the identity document and the name on the payment method have to agree. Where they do not, we cannot complete the check, and the support team will say which record to correct.

Three player situations

A deposit by card followed by a first withdrawal

Visa and Mastercard are deposit routes in our cashier. A player who deposits by card and then wishes to withdraw receives the identity request first, and the withdrawal itself goes to a cryptocurrency wallet. The photograph of the bank card may be requested in this case, because the card was the funding method.

A cryptocurrency deposit and a quick withdrawal

A player who funds the account with Bitcoin or Tether and requests a payout the same day meets the same identity step. A cryptocurrency transfer typically reaches the wallet within an hour once the request is approved, so the time spent on the check is the only delay a player controls.

An account opened on a phone

A player who registers from a phone can complete the whole check on that phone. The QR-based flow suits this case, since the camera that photographs the document belongs to the device that sends it.

A short routine before the first withdrawal

Why we ask before the first withdrawal and not at sign-up

A check at sign-up would stop every visitor at the door, including those who only wish to look at the lobby. A check at the first withdrawal asks for documents from the players who have reached the cashier, and it does so at the moment the documents matter. The request gives a player time to prepare, and the 24-hour decision keeps the wait short once the files are in.

What verification does not change

Verification does not alter the bonus terms, the cashier methods or the weekly and monthly withdrawal ceilings. A deposit must be wagered once before it can be withdrawn, whether the player is verified or not. The wagering requirement of the 170% crypto offer stays at 45 times the deposit and the bonus together.

Where to ask

A short question costs less time than a wrong upload. A player who is unsure what to send writes to the live chat or to [email protected] and names the document in question.
