Golden Star KYC & AML Policy

Golden Star maintains a comprehensive Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) framework to ensure safe, lawful, and transparent operations for all users in Canada. These measures are in place to protect account holders, prevent financial crime, and meet the regulatory requirements imposed by applicable Canadian legislation and licensing authorities. All users are subject to these obligations as a condition of accessing the platform.

Golden Star applies KYC and AML procedures to verify each user’s identity, prevent fraud, and combat financial crime across all platform activity. These measures are designed to uphold the following standards:

• Fair play for all registered users;
• User safety through robust account protection;
• Full transparency in all financial transactions;
• Strict adherence to Canadian regulatory requirements;
• Ongoing compliance with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing obligations.

Every new user is required to complete an ID verification process before accessing full platform functionality or processing withdrawals. The following categories of documents may be requested during this process:

• A valid, government-issued photo ID (such as a passport, driver’s licence, or provincial identity card);
• Proof of residential address issued within a recent timeframe (such as a utility bill or bank statement);
• Confirmation of ownership of the payment method used for deposits or withdrawals;
• Any supplementary documentation deemed necessary by the compliance team to complete the verification process.

Golden Star implements a structured set of internal controls to prevent money laundering, terrorism financing, and other forms of illegal financial activity on the platform. The following measures are applied consistently:

• Continuous transaction monitoring to identify irregular or high-risk patterns;
• Automated detection systems designed to flag activity inconsistent with expected user behaviour;
• Enhanced due diligence applied to accounts or transactions identified as elevated risk;
• Manual review of large or unusual transfers that exceed established thresholds;
• Risk scoring assigned to user accounts based on activity, geographic location, and other relevant factors;
• Screening against international sanctions lists and Politically Exposed Persons (PEP) databases;
• Reporting of suspicious activity to the relevant Canadian authorities in accordance with legal reporting obligations.

Certain actions are strictly prohibited on the platform as part of the KYC and AML compliance framework. Users who engage in any of the following may face immediate enforcement action:

• Creating or operating multiple accounts under the same or different identities;
• Submitting forged, altered, or stolen documentation during the verification process;
• Attempting to use the platform for money laundering or any form of illicit financial activity;
• Manipulating platform systems, game outcomes, or transaction processes;
• Sharing, selling, or transferring account access to any third party;
• Depositing or withdrawing funds using payment methods not registered in the account holder’s name;
• Providing false or misleading personal data at any stage of registration or verification.

Violations of the KYC and AML policy trigger immediate enforcement measures to protect the integrity of the platform and its users. Consequences may include temporary or permanent account suspension, freezing or confiscation of funds associated with suspicious activity, cancellation of bets or winnings connected to a policy breach, and reporting of the account holder to the competent Canadian authorities where applicable.

All registered users are responsible for maintaining accurate and current personal information on their account at all times. Verification requests must be completed promptly and within any deadlines communicated by the platform’s compliance team. Users are required to submit any additional documentation requested during enhanced due diligence or routine security reviews without undue delay. Only payment instruments registered in the account holder’s own name may be used for deposits and withdrawals. Any suspicious activity observed on an account, or any unauthorized access to personal data, must be reported to the support team immediately.

• Full compliance with applicable KYC and AML standards under Canadian law;
• Strict confidentiality and protection of all personal data collected during verification;
• Continuous monitoring for suspicious activity across all user accounts;
• Active prevention of manipulation, collusion, and unfair behaviour on the platform;
• Dedicated user support on all matters relating to account security and safety;
• Shared responsibility between the platform and its users in maintaining a lawful environment;
• Equal conditions and consistent application of security measures for all registered users.
