Understanding the Risks

- Have you borrowed money or sold possessions to fund gambling?
- Do you feel guilty, anxious, or depressed about your gambling?
- Have family members or friends expressed concern about your gambling habits?
- Do you find it difficult to stop gambling, even when you want to?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, professional support may be beneficial.

When reviewing gaming operators, we assess the availability of responsible gambling tools, including:
- Deposit Limits: Daily, weekly, or monthly caps on the amount you can deposit
- Loss Limits: Restrictions on total losses over specified periods

Anti-Money Laundering
Growthlytics.net is committed to preventing money laundering and terrorist financing in accordance with UK legislation, including the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 and the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds Regulations 2017.
Our Legal Obligations
As a UK-based platform, we maintain robust anti-money laundering (AML) procedures:
- Conducting customer due diligence on users accessing certain services
- Monitoring transactions and activities for suspicious patterns
- Reporting suspicious activity to the National Crime Agency (NCA) when required
- Maintaining records of customer identification and transaction data
- Training staff to recognize and respond to potential money laundering indicators
These obligations help protect the integrity of the financial system and prevent criminal exploitation.
Know Your Customer (KYC) Procedures
To verify your identity and comply with legal requirements, we may request:
Identity Verification
- Valid government-issued photo identification (passport, driving licence, national ID card)
- Recent proof of address (utility bill, bank statement, council tax letter dated within the last three months)
- Additional documentation for enhanced due diligence in certain circumstances
Payment Method Verification
- Evidence of payment method ownership (bank statements, card images with sensitive details obscured)
- Source of funds documentation for significant transactions
- Confirmation of payment method registered address
You must provide accurate, genuine documents. Submitting false or fraudulent information is a serious offence and will result in account termination and potential reporting to authorities.
Transaction Monitoring
We continuously monitor platform activity to detect potential money laundering, including:
- Unusual transaction patterns or volumes inconsistent with normal user behaviour
- Rapid succession of deposits and withdrawals without logical explanation
- Use of multiple payment methods or accounts by a single user
- Attempts to obscure transaction origins or destinations
- Transactions involving jurisdictions known for high money laundering risk
Automated systems and manual reviews work together to identify suspicious activity.
Account Restrictions and Freezing
If we suspect money laundering, terrorist financing, or related offences:
- Your account may be temporarily or permanently suspended
- Pending transactions may be delayed, cancelled, or reversed
- Funds may be frozen pending investigation and regulatory guidance
- Information may be shared with law enforcement or regulatory authorities
- You may be required to provide additional documentation or explanations
We are legally prohibited from informing you if a suspicious activity report has been filed concerning your account (“tipping off” offence under UK law).
Enhanced Due Diligence
Certain users or transactions trigger enhanced scrutiny:
- Politically exposed persons (PEPs) or their family members and close associates
- Users from high-risk jurisdictions identified by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF)
- Transactions exceeding specified thresholds
- Complex ownership structures or unclear beneficial ownership
- Indicators of unusual business relationships or transaction purposes
Enhanced measures may include additional identity verification, source of wealth confirmation, and ongoing monitoring.
Your Cooperation
Compliance with AML procedures is mandatory. Failure to provide requested information or cooperate with verification processes will result in:
- Inability to access certain platform features or services
- Transaction delays or cancellations
- Account suspension or permanent closure
- Potential reporting to relevant authorities
We appreciate your understanding that these measures protect all users and maintain platform integrity.
