Why Does 1Win Ask for Verification?

KYC (Know Your Customer) is a standard compliance requirement under 1Win's Curacao license 8048/JAZ 2018-040 — not something unique to Nigerian accounts.

Before Your First Withdrawal

Most accounts are asked to verify identity the first time they request a payout, to confirm the funds go to the account owner.

Large or Unusual Transactions

Bigger deposits or withdrawals can trigger an additional identity and source-of-funds check.

Anti-Fraud & AML Compliance

Licensed operators are legally required to verify players to prevent fraud and money laundering.

Documents You'll Need

Have a clear digital copy ready before you start — this is the step that causes the most delays.

Document TypeAccepted Options
Proof of IdentityNIN slip, international passport, driver's license or voter's card — must be valid (not expired) and show your full name and photo
Proof of AddressRecent utility bill or bank statement (usually only requested for large withdrawals)
Selfie VerificationA live photo holding your ID, requested in some cases to confirm you are the document holder
Payment Method ProofScreenshot of the deposit method (e.g. Opay/bank account) if asked to confirm ownership
