This page covers what ID data gets collected during sign-up checks. It covers why it's needed, and how to raise a privacy question. It stays within what 1King states on its own pages, without guessing at anything beyond that.
Documents Collected During Checks
The check process is commonly called KYC, short for Know Your Customer. It's a normal step across licensed gambling sites. It confirms who's behind an account before funds move out.
- A colour copy of a passport, covering the first two pages plus a residency stamp where one applies.
- A national ID card copy, as an alternative to a passport.
- A driving licence or utility bill, asked for on top as proof of address.
- A phone number, confirmed by text or call.
1King also offers a video option instead of uploads. A player talks directly with a staff member to confirm who they are. No document scans get sent this way. See our KYC page for the full verification process.
Why This Data Gets Collected
ID checks confirm two things. First, that a player is 18 or older. Second, that the account belongs to the person using it. The same data also helps stop fraud and meets the rules tied to the platform's Curaçao licence.
None of it feeds ad targeting or marketing lists. It's collected purely to meet the checks and rules that apply to gambling sites in general.
How This Data Gets Handled
Sent documents get checked against the details given at sign-up. This step usually happens before a first withdrawal. Finishing it early can help a player avoid delays later on.
Standard practice across licensed gambling sites treats this kind of document as sensitive. Its use stays limited to ID checks, account safety, and the licence rules it was collected for.
Phone Checks
Confirming a phone number does two jobs at once. It backs up account safety, and it gives 1King a working way to reach a player about anything tied to their account.
Keeping an Account Secure
Login details belong to the account holder alone. Keeping a password private is the simplest step a player can take. It protects both the account and the ID data linked to it.
Sharing login details with anyone else puts that protection at risk, even briefly. This holds whether the account name reads "1King" or "1 King" on a card statement.
Getting in Touch About Privacy
A question about ID data, document handling, or how personal details link to an account can go through the usual support channels.
- Email at [email protected] works well for anything involving documents.
- The Support button in the site navigation handles quicker questions.
- The Telegram channel also takes general queries.
Email tends to work best for a document-related request. It leaves a written record of both the request and the reply.
