A betting platform meets KYC and checks age with CPF validation
How an online betting platform can meet KYC requirements, confirm identity and block minors by validating CPF in real time at sign-up.
The challenge
An online betting platform must prove the identity of every bettor and prevent access by minors, under strict industry rules. Sign-up must be fast so the bettor isn’t lost, yet robust enough to satisfy the regulator. Duplicate accounts, fake identities and attempts by minors using third-party data were constant risks.
The solution
Real-time CPF validation was integrated into sign-up. The system confirms the CPF format and registration status, cross-checks name and date of birth — enabling an age check — and records the verification for compliance. Consistent sign-ups proceed to deposit; discrepancies and signs of underage use go to review before any bet.
Results
- Bettor identity confirmed at the official source at sign-up.
- Age verification supported by the date-of-birth cross-check.
- Verification records to demonstrate compliance to the regulator.
- Fewer duplicate accounts and attempts with third-party identities.
We can be fast at sign-up and still prove, at every audit, that we verified the identity and age of whoever is betting.
