We trigger full identity checks once lifetime deposits pass £2,000, or as soon as any withdrawal request is submitted, whichever happens first. Our compliance team reviews submitted documents within 24 hours and returns one of three outcomes. The table below sets out what we check and the status each document confirms.
| Check | Document used | What it confirms |
|---|---|---|
| ID check | Government-issued photo ID (front and back where applicable) | Signature present, country not restricted, name matches, not expiring within 3 months, holder over 18 |
| Residence check | Bank statement or utility bill | Country not restricted, name matches ID, issued within the last 3 months |
| Selfie check | Selfie holding the ID | Holder matches the ID and the same document number submitted |
| Review outcome | n/a | Approved, Rejected, or More information needed, within 24 hours |
Each document is checked against a specific standard rather than a single pass or fail, which is why incomplete submissions are returned for more information rather than rejected outright.
Verification timing and common rejections
Once documents are submitted, our review is completed within 24 hours and the account moves to Approved, Rejected, or More information needed. If we ask for more information, the request carries a 30 calendar day deadline — after that the account is blocked from all transactions until the checks are completed. Players can view the full set of conditions that apply alongside verification on our full overview page.
What a temporarily approved status means
Between submission and final approval, an account can carry a temporarily approved status. In that state we allow normal play, but deposits are capped at £500 in aggregate and withdrawals are not released until verification is complete. A failed verification stops both deposits and withdrawals of any amount, so we recommend submitting documents as soon as they are requested rather than waiting until a withdrawal is pending.
Document language and format
We accept documents in the Latin or Cyrillic alphabet. Where a document is issued in another alphabet, we ask for video verification instead so the details can be read and matched manually. Before any withdrawal is released, 1 Red Casino also runs an algorithmic and manual review of recent account activity and balance, separate from the identity checks described above.
Steps to complete verification at 1Red
The process is the same whether verification is triggered by deposit total or by a withdrawal request. Following these steps in order avoids the most common delays.
- Submit government-issued photo ID, front and back, making sure the signature is visible and the document has more than 3 months before expiry.
- Upload a bank statement or utility bill issued within the last 3 months showing the same name as the ID.
- Take a selfie holding the same ID document used above, with the document number clearly readable.
- Wait for the review, which we complete within 24 hours, and check for an Approved, Rejected, or More information needed response.
- If more information is requested, respond within 30 calendar days to avoid the account being blocked from further transactions.
