Source of funds checks
UK rules require us to evidence the source of your funds at certain spend levels. We try to do this without bothering you, and when we can't, here's what we'll ask.
What it's for
The UK Gambling Commission requires every operator to identify and act on financial risk to its customers. Source-of-funds (SoF) is one of three pieces, alongside identity and affordability, that together let us know your play stays within your means.
When we'll ask
We rely on public risk indicators first, most players will never see a SoF request. We ask for evidence when:
- Net losses in a 12-month rolling window cross the UKGC vulnerability thresholds.
- A single deposit, or a rapid sequence of deposits, is unusually large.
- We are processing a withdrawal of a major prize.
What we accept
- Recent payslips, P60 or self-assessment.
- Bank statements covering the relevant period.
- Evidence of pension, dividends, inheritance or the sale of property.
Once accepted, evidence stays on file and the threshold check resets. We don't ask for the same evidence twice unless your circumstances change.
We do not run a credit check, and your file with the UK credit-reference agencies is never touched. Affordability indicators come from regulated public sources only.
