3

Know when KYC might be needed

Stake.com may request verification for large withdrawals, suspicious activity, or if required by their Curaçao license terms.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Enjoy Stake.com's no-KYC policy for standard crypto gambling, but be prepared that large withdrawals may trigger verification requests.
  • Ensure uploaded documents are clear, well-lit, and show all four corners.
  • Use the same name across all submitted documents to avoid delays.
  • If verification takes longer than expected, contact Stake.com's support team.
  • A Canadian driver's licence is the fastest verification document — it includes your photo, name, and address all in one document.
  • AGCO-licensed Ontario casinos may verify your identity automatically using provincial databases, making the process near-instant.
  • For proof of address, a CRA Notice of Assessment or property tax bill is widely accepted and shows your Canadian residency clearly.
