Account Verification (KYC)

Why ChessBit verifies players, when each level is required, and how the process works.

Why Verification Exists

ChessBit is a real-money platform, so we verify players in stages: enough to meet our anti-money-laundering obligations and keep one-person-one-account true, without asking everyone for everything up front.

When Each Level Is Required

  • Browsing: no verification. Create an account and look around freely.
  • Playing for money and depositing: requires Level 1: a short personal-details form (name, date of birth, address, occupation). No documents.
  • Higher stakes and larger amounts: Level 2 adds a government-ID check with a selfie, done in a few minutes through our verification partner (Didit), with a manual upload fallback.
  • Serious volume: Level 3 (proof of address) and Level 4 (source of wealth) raise or remove the limits entirely.

The full limits table lives in Verification levels and limits.

How It Works

  1. Open the profile menu → Profile → Verification. Each level unlocks once the one before it is approved.
  2. Complete the level you need. Level 1 is a form and is usually decided automatically within moments; some cases get a short human review.
  3. For Level 2+, follow the guided ID flow (or upload documents manually if prompted).
  4. You'll be notified when the level is approved, and anything waiting on it (a deposit, a withdrawal) proceeds.

Sometimes We Ask First

A withdrawal over $3,000, fast-growing deposit volume, or certain risk checks can trigger a request to complete the next level before the transaction continues. The transaction waits; it isn't lost.

Your Data

Verification data is encrypted at rest and used for compliance only. You can download a copy of your account data from Settings → Your data (once every 24 hours).

ChessBit is 18+ only. If verification shows a player is under 18, the account is blocked from all real-money activity until they turn 18.
