One Account, One Phone Number and Personal Account Use
Each account is uniquely linked to one telephone number, and account transactions are connected to that number.
Each customer may register only one account. Multiple accounts can be closed when they are used to conceal betting activity, circumvent limits or mislead betPawa, and transactions linked to those accounts can be cancelled.
Accounts cannot be sold, transferred, assigned or made available for another person to use. Login details must remain confidential.

|---|---|
| Registered phone number | Enter the phone number linked to the account |
| Live selfie | Complete a Live Selfie through pawaPass |
| Identity document | Provide a passport or identification document when requested |
| Additional KYC information | Provide proof of address, utility bill or financial details when requested |

pawaPass Phone Number and Live Selfie Verification
pawaPass verification uses two main steps:
- Enter the phone number.
- Take a Live Selfie.
The selfie must show the account holder. If the customer’s phone cannot take a Live Selfie, another trusted phone can be used, followed by logging out of that device.
Completing pawaPass can reduce the need for repeated identity checks when betting, depositing and withdrawing.
Additional Identity Checks and Requested Documents
Additional KYC checks can request:
- Passport
- Government-issued identification document
- Proof of address
- Utility bill
- Financial details
- Information relating to deposits or source of funds
The documents and information must match the registered account holder.
Account activity can be suspended or limited until requested information has been supplied and accepted.
