Compliance Walkthrough

FICA Verification — What You Need to Know

Every licensed SA bookmaker is required by law to verify your identity before you can withdraw winnings. FICA exists to protect punters, but unverified accounts are the #1 cause of cashout delays.

Tips to speed up approval:
  • Complete FICA as soon as you register, not when withdrawing.
  • Make sure all four corners of your ID book or Smart Card are visible.
  • Proof of address must match the exact name on your betting account.
