GeniusBet KYC Verification: When It’s Required, What You Need, and How Long It Takes
GeniusBet runs KYC checks to confirm who you are, where you live, and that your payment method belongs to you. The check is requested at specific points in the account lifecycle and is completed after document review.
GeniusBet triggers verification when you request a withdrawal, when cumulative deposits or withdrawals reach internal AML thresholds, when account details change (name, email, phone, address), or when activity flags a security review such as multiple payment attempts or a login from a new country.
- Identity (ID/Passport): Upload a clear colour photo of a valid passport or national ID card. GeniusBet checks full name, date of birth, document number, expiry date, and photo. If the system requests a selfie or liveness check, submit a selfie holding the document or complete the in-app camera prompt.
- Address proof: Provide a document dated within the last 90 days showing your full name and residential address. Accepted examples include a utility bill (electricity, gas, water), a bank statement, or a government letter. Screenshots and edited files are rejected; GeniusBet asks for a full-page scan or PDF that includes issue date and issuer details.
- Payment method: For a bank card, upload photos of the card front and back with the middle digits hidden (keep the first 6 and last 4 visible) and the CVV hidden. The cardholder name must match the GeniusBet profile. For e-wallets, GeniusBet requests an account page or statement showing your name and wallet ID or email, plus a transaction record that matches deposits made to GeniusBet.
Processing time is typically 15 minutes to 24 hours after all files are submitted in the required format. During peak periods or if the images are blurred, cropped, or mismatch profile details, review can extend to 48 hours and GeniusBet requests resubmission.
Current state: GeniusBet KYC is document-based and usually completes within one day when the ID, address proof, and payment method evidence match the account details and are uploaded as full, readable files.
