Commitment to ID Verification and Anti Money Laundering in Ghana

Paripesa upholds Know Your Customer and Anti Money Laundering standards under Ghana law to protect user safety and the integrity of the service. ID verification, identity check controls, and transaction monitoring are applied to prevent misuse and to meet regulatory requirements set by the Gaming Commission of Ghana and the Financial Intelligence Centre. This policy explains duties, security measures, and reporting obligations consistent with the Anti Money Laundering Act, 2020 (Act 1044), the Anti Terrorism Act, 2008 (Act 762), and the Gaming Act, 2006 (Act 721).

Why Identity Checks and AML Controls Are Used

Paripesa applies KYC and AML procedures to verify identity, prevent fraud, and deter financial crime on the platform in Ghana. These controls support fair play and account protection for all users.

  • Fair play guided by consistent identity check rules
  • User safety and account protection through reliable security measures
  • Transparency in processes and handling of personal data
  • Compliance with Ghana regulatory requirements and reporting obligations

ID Verification and Document Submission

Every new user must complete ID verification before making deposits, placing bets, or requesting withdrawals. The account holder may be asked to provide the following during document submission.

  • Valid government-issued photo identification
  • Recent proof of address showing the user’s name
  • Confirmation that the payment method used belongs to the account holder

Core AML Controls and Transaction Monitoring

Paripesa uses structured controls to prevent money laundering, terrorism financing, and other illegal activity. Controls include risk-based checks and continuous transaction monitoring.

  • Ongoing monitoring of deposits, withdrawals, and betting patterns
  • Automated detection rules to flag suspicious activity and unusual behaviour
  • Enhanced due diligence for high-risk profiles, events, or jurisdictions
  • Manual reviews of large or unusual transfers prior to processing
  • Risk scoring of accounts informed by behaviour and document outcomes
  • Sanctions and politically exposed person screening against applicable lists
  • Timely reporting to the Financial Intelligence Centre and other competent bodies where required by law

Activities Not Allowed Under KYC and AML Rules

The platform prohibits conduct that undermines identity check and AML standards. The following actions are not permitted.

  • Opening or operating multiple accounts for the same person
  • Submitting forged, altered, or stolen documents
  • Attempts to launder funds or conceal the origin of money
  • Manipulating systems, odds, or features to evade controls
  • Sharing, selling, or transferring account access
  • Using third-party cards, wallets, or bank accounts
  • Misrepresenting identity or acting on behalf of another person

Outcomes for Breaches of AML or KYC

Non-compliance, suspicious activity, or refusal to complete checks may trigger enforcement under licence and law. Paripesa may act without prior notice where risk is present.

Consequences may include temporary or permanent account suspension, freezing or confiscation of funds linked to suspicious activity, cancellation of bets or winnings, reporting to competent authorities where applicable.

Responsibilities of the Account Holder

Users must provide accurate and current personal data and ensure that registration details match legal identity. Verification requests must be completed promptly and any additional document submission supplied within stated timeframes. Payment instruments used on the site must belong to the account holder, and changes to banking or wallet details must be supported by evidence when asked. Users should report any suspicious activity or security concern to customer support and cooperate in investigations. Responsible gaming settings and other security measures should be used to protect the account.
