KYC stands for Know Your Customer, the identity check that confirms the person behind a 1King account is who they say they are. It is the step that clears the way for withdrawals, and finishing it early saves trouble later. This page covers exactly which documents are needed, how phone and video verification fit into the process, and why starting early matters.
Required Identity Documents
The core requirement is one identity document, with a couple of extras that may be requested depending on your situation:
- A colour copy of your passport, covering the first two pages plus a residency stamp if you have one.
- A national ID card colour copy, as an alternative to a passport.
- On request, a driving licence copy as extra proof of identity.
- On request, a recent utility bill as proof of address.
Most players only need to submit the passport or ID card upfront. The driving licence and utility bill come into play only on request. 1King asks for them as extra proof of address, on top of that primary document.
Preparing Your Documents
A few habits make document review faster on 1 King's side:
- Use a clear colour scan or photo, not a black-and-white copy.
- Make sure all four corners of the document are visible.
- Check that names and dates match the details on your account exactly.
Phone Number Verification
Confirming your phone number is a required part of setting up a 1King account. This step happens during registration or shortly after, rather than as a separate later task you have to remember.
It confirms that the contact details tied to your account genuinely belong to you. Compared to document review, it is quick, usually taking only a moment to complete.
Video Verification: An Alternative Path
Instead of uploading documents, 1King also offers video verification. You speak directly with a representative, and the language for the call is arranged beforehand so there is no confusion during it.
This route suits players who would rather have a short conversation than scan and upload paperwork. Either path, documents or a video call, leads to the same result: an account cleared for withdrawals.
| Verification path | What it involves |
|---|
| Document upload | Passport or ID card, plus extras only if requested |
| Video verification | Direct call with a representative, language arranged beforehand |
Neither path is faster or slower by default. The right choice usually comes down to whether you would rather upload files or have a short conversation instead.
Where Verification Fits in Your Account Timeline
Verification is not forced on you before you can play or deposit, but it becomes essential the moment you want to withdraw. Most players follow roughly this order:
- Register the account and confirm the phone number.
- Make a deposit and start playing using a confirmed method.
- Submit a passport or ID copy, or book video verification instead.
- Provide a driving licence or utility bill if extra proof of address is requested.
- Wait for the check to clear before submitting a withdrawal request.
Handling this earlier in that sequence pays off later. A first cash-out request then never stalls behind a document review that could already be finished.
Why Verifying Early Matters
Verification is not just paperwork. Bets and spins placed on an account can be voided if the identity check behind that account later fails. Deposits connected to it may also be reversed, and the account itself can face restrictions.
Treating verification as an early task, rather than something to handle only once a withdrawal is already pending, avoids that risk entirely. A verified account from the start carries none of that exposure.
A Simple Rule of Thumb
Complete your documents or book your video call soon after registering. That single habit removes one of the most common reasons a first withdrawal gets delayed on any 1King account.

A colour passport copy (first two pages, plus a residency stamp if applicable) or a national ID card. A driving licence or utility bill may be requested on top, if needed.
Is phone verification required?
Yes. Confirming your phone number is required during, or shortly after, registration.
Can I verify my account without uploading any documents?
Yes, through video verification, a direct conversation with a representative instead of a document upload.
What happens if verification does not go through?
Bets or spins on the account can be voided, deposits may be reversed, and the account can face restrictions.
When should verification happen?
As early as possible, ideally right after registration, so it is already finished by the time you want to withdraw.
