FICA COMPLIANCE

4.1. Bpoker is bound by the provisions of the Financial Intelligence Centre Act, Act 38 of 2001, as amended (“FICA”), which details the requirements in relation to identity establishment and verification procedures, customer due diligence, the recording and ongoing monitoring of transactions, the retention of records and related matters. All of these requirements have been put in place in order to ensure that the betting services provided by licensed bookmakers such a Bpoker are not unlawfully used as vehicles for money laundering and/or the financing of terrorism or other criminal activities.

4.2. Where FICA or its associated regulations and instruments specify such procedures and/or restrictions then Bpoker will operate in accordance with such procedures and/or restrictions. Where FICA does not specify such procedures and/or restrictions, then Bpoker shall implement its own procedures and/or restrictions (subject always to any applicable legislation), so as to promote good corporate governance and socially responsible betting practices. For further information on FICA please log on to www.fic.gov.za.

4.3. Where a customer in the retail environment -

places an amount of ZAR 5,000.00 or more on a single bet, or
claims winnings in the amount of ZAR 5,000.00 or more,

Bpoker will be required under FICA to establish and verify the identity of that client before the transaction can be processed.

4.4. In the online environment, Bpoker is required by FICA first to establish and verify the identity of all Customers before it may lawfully create a betting account for any such Customer. In such cases, as part of the account registration process, prospective account holders will be required to disclose the following personal and related particulars:

Full names;
South African Identity Number or Passport Number;
Residential Address;
E-mail Address;
Mobile and/or landline telephone number(s), and
The source of the funds to be used for the purposes of the betting account.

4.6. The following procedures will be followed by Bpoker in relation to a Customer in respect of whom proof of identification and residential address is required:

Where a Customer presents his or her identification document (ID or passport) in person, Bpoker shall make a photocopy of such document on the licensed premises and verify that same is a true copy of the original, which shall be filed and retained for record purposes.
Where an identification document is transmitted to Bpoker via facsimile transmission or by normal or electronic mail, such documents will be required to be current (unexpired in the case of passports) and certified as true copies of the original.
A driver’s licence may be accepted as proof of identification, provided that:

The Customer is unable to produce an Identity Document for reasons which are acceptable to Bpoker in the circumstances;

The driver’s licence is valid/current (has not expired), and

The driver’s licence reflects on the face thereof -

A photograph of the bearer;

The full names or initials and surname of the bearer;

The date of birth of the bearer, and

The Identity Number of the bearer.

Utility bills and similar documents submitted as proof of residential address shall be dated no earlier than three (3) months prior to the date of submission to Bpoker thereof.

By completing our online betting account application form, the Customer confirms and irrevocably consents that Bpoker shall be entitled to conduct such identification, credit and other verification and/or screening or security checks (including, but not limited to, verifying the Customer’s source of funds) that Bpoker may choose to perform and/or is required to perform by applicable legislation, any regulatory authority having jurisdiction and/or the Regulator. The Customer further consents that as part of the registration process, and at any time during the period for which the Customer may be the holder of a betting account with Bpoker, Bpoker may supply the identifying details and any related particulars provided by the Customer to third-party service providers, including, without limitation, identity verification and/or screening agencies, cellular network providers, financial institutions, credit bureaux and national and/or provincial governmental agencies or statutory bodies.

As part of the fulfilment of our obligations under FICA, the Customer may be required, at the time of the registration process, or at any stage during the period for which he/she holds a betting account with Bpoker, to furnish Bpoker with a copy of his/her identity documents (i.e. a copy of an identity document and/or passport which must be legible and valid), proof of physical address in the nature of a statement/invoice of account (rendered by a City Council or Municipality or a bank in the case of mortgaged property) and proof of bank account details (which statements shall not be older than three (3) months). Bpoker shall advise the Customer which documents it may require for this purpose. Failure on the part of the Customer to provide any such document within the timeframe specified by Bpoker for this purpose -

(i) if required as part of the registration process, will result in the suspension of the registration process, with no betting account being created for the Customer until such time as the information is provided to the satisfaction of Bpoker, or

As part of the registration process, the Customer will be prompted to select a dedicated username and secure password in respect of the betting account.

Once all required verification procedures have been successfully completed, the betting account will be created, and Bpoker will transmit a message to Customer by e-mail, confirming the establishment of the betting account in the name of the Customer.

if the requested amount is not available in the Customer’s Bpoker betting account, inform the Customer in such manner as Bpoker may deem fit, that the request has been declined;

in the event that the requested amount is available in the Customer’s Bpoker betting account, effect, within 48 hours of confirming the availability of the amount, the electronic transfer of the requested amount from the Bpoker account of the Customer to the account nominated by the Customer; provided that, for the purposes of this Clause, Bpoker shall be deemed to have fully complied with its obligation to effect such transfer at the time of giving the instruction to its bankers to effect such transfer and the 48-hour period contemplated in this Clause shall not include such further period as may elapse before the requested amount is deposited into the banking account nominated by the Customer for this purpose, and

10.8. Before any withdrawals are processed, Bpoker may request the Customer to upload a valid form of identification, e.g. a copy of a valid ID document and/or passport, driver’s licence or any other valid documentary form of identification.

Bpoker reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine which forms of identification shall be accepted. If a Customer has deposited funds via credit cards or Instant EFT or has requested a withdrawal to be paid into a credit card or cheque account, Bpoker may request copies of both the front side and the back side of the relevant card.
