Verify your identity
Under UK rules we verify your identity before you can deposit or play. Here's exactly what we check and what you need to provide.
Why we verify identity
Lottofy is licensed by the UK Gambling Commission. UK rules require operators to verify a customer's name, date of birth and address before allowing them to deposit or place a bet. This protects against underage gambling and money laundering.
When verification happens
You can create an account immediately, but you must complete verification before you can:
- Deposit any funds.
- Place a bet or buy a ticket.
- Withdraw from your balance.
In most cases verification is automatic and instant, using public records to confirm your details. If we cannot verify you electronically, we will ask you to upload a document.
Documents we may ask for
- Identity: a valid passport, UK driving licence, or national ID card.
- Address (if needed): a recent utility bill, bank statement or council tax bill, under 3 months old.
- Funds (high-value play only): proof of source of funds, such as a payslip or bank statement.
We will never ask for your full card number, PIN or your online-banking password. Documents are encrypted and only used for verification.
