Nova88 AML & KYC Policy — Safe, Compliant, Trusted
Nova88 Malaysia takes anti-money laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) seriously. Our verification process protects every player from fraud and impersonation while ensuring full compliance with international gaming regulations. Most members are verified in under 4 hours.
What is KYC and Why Does Nova88 Require It?
Know Your Customer is the global standard for player protection in regulated gaming.
KYC = Know Your Customer. It's the identity verification step required by gaming regulators worldwide to confirm that every member is a real person, of legal age, and not impersonating someone else. KYC keeps your funds, identity and winnings safe.
Why Nova88 requires it: Our Curacao eGaming licence and PAGCOR oversight require us to verify the identity of every member before processing withdrawals. This protects you from someone fraudulently registering with your information — and protects us from being used as a money laundering channel.
When you'll need to complete it: At your first withdrawal. Registration and deposits do not require KYC, but every withdrawal does. This way, casual players can sign up instantly while serious members complete verification on their own schedule.
Documents Required for Nova88 KYC
3 documents. Submitted through the secure encrypted upload portal inside your member account.
1. Photo ID
Valid Malaysian IC (MyKad) showing both front and back, OR international passport showing the photo page. Must be in original colour, no black-and-white scans.
2. Proof of Address
Utility bill (TNB, Air Selangor, Indah Water), telco bill (Maxis, Celcom, Digi, Unifi), or bank statement (Maybank, CIMB, etc.). Must be dated within the last 3 months.
3. Selfie With ID
Clear photo of you holding your IC or passport next to your face. Both your face and the document must be readable in the same frame.
4. Source of Funds (Optional)
Required only for deposits exceeding RM 20,000 within 30 days. Salary slip, business registration or investment statement accepted. Full KYC document guide.

Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Controls
The mechanisms Nova88 uses to keep our platform clean and members protected.
- 🔍Transaction monitoring: Every /deposit/ and withdrawal is analysed by our AML engine for unusual patterns — sudden large deposits, structured smaller deposits ("smurfing"), rapid deposit-then-withdraw cycles.
- 🔍Source-of-funds checks: For deposits exceeding RM 20,000 in 30 days, Nova88 may request salary slips, business documents or investment statements to verify legitimate income.
- 🔍Sanctions screening: Every new member is screened against international sanctions lists, politically exposed persons (PEP) databases and adverse media. Members flagged are reviewed manually.
- 🔍Suspicious activity reporting: When required by law, Nova88 reports suspicious transactions to financial intelligence units. Reports are confidential and protect the integrity of the gaming industry.
- 🔍Player protection: AML controls protect you as much as us — they prevent criminals from impersonating you, laundering money through your account, or exposing your funds to seizure.
Player Protection Through KYC
Verification isn't just regulatory — it actively makes your account safer.
🛡 Identity fraud blocked
KYC means nobody else can /register/ pretending to be you. Your IC is uniquely linked to your one Nova88 account.
💰 Withdrawal protection
Verified accounts can only withdraw to bank accounts in the same name as the KYC ID. Stops thieves from cashing out if they hack your password.
🎯 Age verification
KYC confirms you're 18 . Underage gambling is prevented at the gate — see our responsible gaming policy.
🔒 GDPR-aligned storage
Documents encrypted in transit and at rest. Never sold to third parties. See our privacy policy for the full data handling rules.
📊 Audit trail
Every login, deposit, bet and withdrawal is logged. If anything goes wrong, we can trace it instantly and protect you with insurance.
⚖ Dispute resolution
Verified members have full access to our complaint and dispute resolution process. Unverified members are limited to email-only support.
