What is a source of funds check?

The process of conducting a source of funds check is essential in our system, as it allows us to confirm the legality of the funds used to purchase Gold Coins in our platform, distinguishing between lawful and a potentially illicit money.

In more practical terms, a source of funds check involves requesting evidence from you to demonstrate that your funds have a legitimate source, which could include your salary, business earnings, a bank loan, or other lawful origins. Our primary focus is to ensure that the money has been acquired through legal means, and the specific source is not the primary factor of concern for us.

Why is a source of funds check required?

We have a legal obligation to ensure that our platforms remain free from financial offenses such as fraud, money laundering, or the support of terrorism. To proactively prevent such financial crimes, we employ a variety of systems and processes, some of which are automated. These systems and processes are consistently overseen by our financial crime specialists in the compliance team.
​

It's important to understand that, in many instances, our compliance team is required to conduct source of funds checks on customers who have not engaged in any illicit activities. These checks are standard procedures mandated by applicable laws and regulations. Your patience and cooperation in this matter are greatly appreciated, as they contribute to maintaining an enjoyable and secure entertainment platform for all our customers.

When is a source of funds check required?

Our compliance team utilizes both automated and semi-automated systems to regularly evaluate whether a source of funds check is needed. The exact timing for these checks is influenced by a variety of undisclosed factors and will differ from one customer to another. Be assured that we will inform you when a source of funds check is deemed necessary. Until you receive such notification, no action is expected on your part.

What types of documents are acceptable for answering questions related to the review of the source of funds?


​​You will find a list of acceptable documents within each section of the form. Please ensure that your name and the document's date are clearly visible on the provided documents. Tax self-assessments or self-prepared documents, such as the self-prepared 1040 form, are not acceptable. We require proof that the document has been officially submitted or filed, typically in the form of an acknowledgement record from the IRS or a dated tax return transcript, with the most recent filing being preferred. Additionally, your most recent W-2 Wage and Tax Statement is also an acceptable form of documentation.

How frequently am I required to verify the origin of my funds?


The evaluation of how often source of funds reviews are conducted depends on individual circumstances. It is possible that we might ask for additional or updated information beyond what you have already supplied. Please understand that we will only do this when it is essential to meet our legal obligations.

What happens if I fail to complete a source of funds review?

While you maintain the option to decline a source of funds review, it's important to be aware that refusing to provide the requested information may result in the termination of your account.

Upon agreeing to our Terms & Conditions, you have consented to our ability to conduct verification checks, including the request for documents regarding the source of wealth or source of funds. It's crucial to underscore that providing inaccurate or deceptive information is a breach of our Terms & Conditions, which could lead to the closure, suspension, or any other action deemed appropriate by us.

How will my data be protected?


Please be confident that any documentation you provide during this procedure will be exclusively reviewed by our Compliance Team. Your information will be gathered and utilized in strict adherence to our Privacy Policy. This process is an essential component of our dedication to safeguarding the well-being and security of our Crown Coins Casino community, enabling our players to enjoy our games with a sense of security and peace of mind.

Is it possible for me to redact or withhold specific information that I would rather not disclose?


We acknowledge that this is a personal request and we respect your wish to redact certain particulars, such as your social security number or information related to individuals not directly connected to this request. Although we support your choice to redact specific information, we kindly ask that you avoid redacting critical details such as your name, address, document date, any pertinent deposit amounts, and the origins of those deposits.
