About the Owner Company

The platform is operated by Medium Rare N.V. The company has operated under a Curaçao licensing framework, with the original source material referring to license document #1668/JAZ. Licensing and regulatory requirements can change, so users should always check the current licensing information before relying on specific regulatory claims.

Financial Policy of the Casino

The platform provides online casino and related gaming services. Its financial controls are designed to support applicable gambling, AML, and counter-terrorist-financing requirements. The platform prohibits using its services for unlawful purposes, including transactions involving stolen or fraudulent funds, terrorist financing, or attempts to bypass applicable sanctions.

The platform may review changes to relevant AML/CFT requirements and update its internal procedures when necessary. The overall objective is to ensure that its gaming services are used for lawful entertainment rather than financial crime.

To strengthen its financial controls, the platform may use several established compliance practices:

  • Employee training. Staff members receive guidance on money-laundering risks, suspicious activity, and applicable compliance procedures. Regular training helps employees recognize potential problems and respond appropriately.
  • Compliance Officer. A designated compliance specialist can oversee AML procedures, review transactions, investigate unusual activity, and escalate potential violations to the appropriate management or authorities.
  • Written AML Policy. Formal policies establish the procedures employees should follow when identifying, reviewing, and responding to financial risks.
  • Independent reviews. External specialists or relevant authorities may review compliance procedures to evaluate their effectiveness and identify areas that require improvement.

Common AML Terms

The Anti-Money Laundering Policy uses several standard terms to explain financial crime risks and related controls:

  • Money Laundering. This refers to the process of disguising funds obtained through illegal activities so they appear to come from legitimate sources. Criminals may attempt to move money through multiple financial transactions to conceal its original source.
  • Placement. This is generally considered the first stage of money laundering. Illegally obtained funds are introduced into a financial system or other channel.
  • Layering. This involves creating multiple transactions or transfers to make the original source of funds harder to identify. Repeated deposits, withdrawals, exchanges, or transfers can create a complicated financial trail.
  • Integration. This is the stage where apparently legitimate funds are reintroduced into the wider economy. Once integrated, identifying the original source of the money can become more difficult.
  • Suspicious Activity. This describes transactions or account behavior that may indicate unlawful activity. Examples can include unusual deposits, complex transaction patterns, or activity that does not match the expected account profile.
  • Sanctions. These are enforcement measures that may apply when users violate applicable laws, regulations, or platform requirements. Depending on the circumstances, restrictions can include account suspension or termination.

Monitoring Compliance With the Requirements

The platform may appoint a compliance specialist or Chief Compliance Officer to oversee AML-related procedures. Key responsibilities can include:

  • Creating, reviewing, and updating AML policies;
  • Working with relevant regulators or external authorities when required;
  • Investigating potentially suspicious player activity;
  • Training employees on AML risks, compliance procedures, and applicable legal requirements.

Know Your Customer (KYC)

Know Your Customer, commonly called KYC, is an important part of modern financial and gaming compliance. The process helps confirm a user's identity and assess potential financial risks.

By reviewing account information and transaction history, the platform can identify activity that may not match a user's established profile. This can help detect potential money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, and other prohibited activity. KYC procedures can include several stages.

  • Customer Due Diligence (CDD)

    Customer Due Diligence helps identify and assess risks associated with a player's account activity. During registration or later verification, the platform may request information such as the user's full name, date of birth, residential address, nationality, and identification documents.

    The information collected can be used to establish an appropriate risk profile. Accounts presenting higher risks may receive additional checks, restrictions, or other compliance measures.

    CDD may involve the following steps:

    1. Collecting personal information. Users may need to provide accurate contact details and date-of-birth information. Verification helps confirm that the account belongs to a genuine individual.
    2. Reviewing account funding. Deposits and related financial activity may be assessed to identify unusual payments or potential sources of illicit funds.
    3. Maintaining account records. Relevant customer and transaction information can be retained to help identify unusual patterns over time.
    4. Checking relevant sanctions lists. Accounts may be screened against applicable sanctions or other restricted-party lists. Where a serious compliance concern is identified, appropriate account action may follow.
  • Prevention Measures

    The platform can also use preventative controls to restrict access where significant compliance concerns exist. These measures may include:

    • Restrictions for prohibited jurisdictions. Technical tools may help identify a user's location. Access can be restricted where services are unavailable or prohibited.
    • Sanctions screening. Users may be required to confirm that they are not subject to applicable sanctions or restrictions.
    • Country-based registration controls. The platform may prevent registration or access from jurisdictions where its services are restricted or unavailable.
  • Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD)

    Enhanced Due Diligence provides a more detailed review when an account presents higher compliance risks. The process can involve additional questions, documents, and transaction checks.

    Depending on the circumstances, users may be asked to provide:

    • Full legal name as shown on an identification document;
    • Citizenship or nationality;
    • Permanent residential address;
    • Government-issued ID number or another accepted identification document;
    • Information about the source of income or funds, such as salary, pension, savings, or other legitimate sources.

    The platform may also use qualified third-party providers to verify information supplied during the compliance process.

Reasons for Blocking Users

Account restrictions can be used as a precaution when serious security or compliance concerns arise. The platform may suspend or terminate an account when a user:

  • Refuses to provide information required for verification;
  • Submits false or fraudulent identification documents;
  • Uses software or other methods to conceal their actual location;
  • Is located in a restricted jurisdiction;
  • Is subject to applicable international sanctions;
  • Attempts to use the platform for prohibited financial activity;
  • Violates applicable gambling or account requirements.

Any account action should be considered in accordance with the platform's current terms and applicable law.

Transaction Control

The platform may monitor player transactions to identify potentially suspicious or unlawful financial activity. Security and compliance systems can examine transaction patterns, unusual amounts, account behavior, and other relevant indicators.

Financial transactions may be assessed using several factors:

  • Transaction location. Deposits and withdrawals may be restricted when they involve prohibited jurisdictions or unsupported payment sources.
  • Sanctions screening. Relevant users and transactions may be checked against applicable sanctions lists before certain financial services are provided.
  • Previous transaction behavior. The size, frequency, and nature of previous payments can be reviewed to identify unusual patterns.
  • Fraud indicators. Transactions may be assessed through specialist compliance and blockchain-analysis services where applicable. A high-risk result can lead to additional verification or account restrictions.

Users flagged for additional review may be asked to provide documentation showing the legitimate source of their funds.

Additional Control Measures

Financial criminals continually develop new techniques to bypass security systems. For this reason, the platform may apply additional controls to strengthen transaction transparency and account security.

These measures can include:

  • Multi-account detection. Technical systems may identify connections between multiple accounts or devices. Creating multiple accounts in violation of the platform's rules can result in restrictions.
  • Location and time-zone analysis. Technical information may be assessed to identify inconsistencies between a user's activity and declared location.
  • Third-party provider checks. The platform may work with external service providers, consultants, and compliance specialists. These partners can also be reviewed to ensure they meet applicable standards and contractual requirements.

Employee Training

Regular employee training helps the platform keep its compliance teams informed about emerging money-laundering techniques and changing regulatory requirements. Staff can learn how to identify suspicious behavior, follow internal procedures, and escalate concerns through the appropriate channels.

Continuous training is an important part of maintaining an effective AML program and supporting secure platform operations.

Reporting Suspicious Activity

When potentially suspicious activity is identified, the platform may investigate the relevant account or transaction and take appropriate action under its compliance procedures. Where legally required, suspicious activity can also be reported to the relevant authorities.

These controls are intended to reduce financial crime risks and support a safer, more transparent gaming environment for eligible users.
