KYC & AML Compliance
To promote a fair, transparent, and legal gaming environment, BC.Game India strictly follows India's Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) protocols. The platform operates in full alignment with the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) of 2002, the Information Technology Act of 2000, and the official guidelines provided by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the Financial Intelligence Unit – India (FIU-IND). As a security measure, all users are required to verify their identities before they can make deposits, request withdrawals, or claim bonuses. This process is essential for safeguarding user assets and meeting both domestic and global AML standards.

If an account shows irregular activity or links to restricted regions, our AI-driven systems automatically trigger Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) for a deeper investigation.
