Pinco KYC & AML Policy
Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) standards guide how this platform verifies users, monitors funds, and deters crime in Canada. Pinco casino applies ID verification, identity checks, and counter-terrorist financing controls under the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act and FINTRAC guidance to uphold transparency, user safety, and account protection. These measures form part of the platform’s reporting obligations and governance framework across casino and sportsbook services.
Purpose of KYC & AML
Pinco applies KYC and AML to verify identity, prevent fraud, and combat financial crime. These security measures align with Canadian regulatory requirements and protect users and the integrity of gaming services.
- Fair play and equal treatment for all users
- User safety through robust identity check and ID verification
- Transparency about verification, payments, and decisions
- Compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and reporting obligations
- Account protection through risk-based controls

Measures may include 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.
