WestAce Verification Problem

Common KYC problems at WestAce

WestAce verification almost always fails for one of five reasons. Each is fixable inside an hour once you know what the system actually wants.

Verification issues, ranked by frequency

1. Blurry or cropped ID document. Take the photo on a flat surface in natural light, no flash, all four corners visible. Use a phone, not a webcam.
2. Selfie doesn't match. Take the selfie holding your ID next to your face. No filters, no hat, no sunglasses.
3. Proof of address too old. The bill, bank statement or council letter must be dated within the last 90 days. PDFs from the bank app are accepted.
4. Name on ID ≠ name on payment method. Withdrawals only release to a method registered to the verified name. If you've recently changed name (marriage, deed poll), upload the change certificate too.
5. Card screenshot missing CVV / sensitive numbers. WestAce expects: first 6 + last 4 digits visible, expiry visible, name visible, middle 6 and CVV blacked out.

Documents WestAce will accept

• ID: Passport, national ID card, driving licence (UK/EU). Provisional licences accepted in the UK.
• Proof of address: Utility bill, bank statement, council tax bill, tenancy agreement, government letter, dated within 90 days, full name visible.
• Payment proof: Card front/back screenshot (CVV redacted), e-wallet account screenshot, crypto wallet address screenshot.
• Source of funds (large cashouts): Pay slip, bank statement showing salary deposits, sale-of-property document. Required only above a threshold.

Trust, security and responsible play

WestAce Casino runs on a 256-bit TLS connection (the same encryption standard used by major UK banks) and tokenises card data through a PCI-DSS compliant processor so the operator never stores raw card numbers. Account passwords are hashed with bcrypt; optional two-factor authentication via SMS or email is available in profile settings and recommended for any account that holds more than a session's bankroll.

The platform integrates standard AML (anti-money-laundering) checks including identity verification before withdrawal, source-of-funds requests above a threshold, and PEP/sanctions screening on registration. These are the same baseline checks a UKGC-licensed operator runs, but the difference is that the offshore licence does not subject WestAce to the UK Gambling Commission's specific consumer-protection regime.
