AML, CTF and ID verification for users in Zambia

Paripesa offers online casino and sportsbook services in Zambia under anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing obligations. This policy explains ID verification, identity check procedures, and transaction monitoring that promote user safety and meet regulatory requirements. The approach is designed to align with the Financial Intelligence Centre framework and other applicable Zambian laws.

Purpose: identity check, user safety and compliance

KYC and AML controls verify identity, reduce fraud risk, and deter financial crime. These security measures support fair play and transparency across the platform.

  • Fair play and equal conditions for all users
  • User safety and account protection at all times
  • Transparent processes and audit trails
  • Compliance with Zambian regulatory requirements

Identity check and document submission requirements

Every new account holder must complete ID verification through timely document submission. Additional checks may be requested during the account lifecycle where risk changes.

  • Proof of residential address
  • Confirmation of ownership of the selected payment method

  • Review of large or unusual transfers before processing
  • Risk scoring and periodic reassessment of account behaviour
  • Sanctions and PEP screening against applicable lists

Temporary or permanent account suspension, freezing or confiscation of funds linked to suspicious activity, cancellation of bets or winnings, reporting to competent authorities where applicable.

User responsibilities for transparency and safety

Users must provide accurate and up-to-date personal data and complete verification and document submission within stated timeframes.
