ID Verification is required on GameShard to comply with legal and regulatory obligations that apply to platforms handling financial transactions and age-restricted activities. Laws such as anti-money laundering (AML) regulations and Know Your Customer (KYC) standards ensure that platforms like ours verify the identity of users to prevent fraud, illegal activity, and underage participation.
By completing ID Verification, you help us ensure that payouts are made to the correct individuals and that users meet the age requirements for participating in certain tournaments or receiving rewards. This process is crucial for legal compliance in jurisdictions worldwide, where platforms dealing with payments must verify the identity of users involved in financial transactions.
Our trusted partner, Stripe, handles the verification, which securely manages your personal information. This requirement not only keeps our platform safe and compliant but also protects you and other users from fraud.
In short, ID Verification isn’t just about security—it's about meeting legal requirements and ensuring a fair, safe gaming experience for everyone on GameShard.
