How KYC Affects DAI Withdrawals
KYC changes DAI withdrawals in two ways: it sets a hard gate (no approval, no payout), and it slows the first cashout because the casino reviews your identity before it releases funds to a crypto address. A basic KYC check links your account to a real person, while a higher tier also links the DAI destination to you, so withdrawals to third-party wallets can be blocked. After you pass KYC once, later DAI withdrawals usually run without repeat document requests unless something changes in your profile or risk signals trigger another review.
Casinos request KYC either before your first DAI withdrawal or at the point you cross internal thresholds, such as a larger cashout amount, a change of device or country, or repeated failed deposit/withdraw attempts. Timeframes depend on the queue and whether your files are clean: a standard check takes 15 minutes to 24 hours, and a manual review takes 24 to 72 hours when photos are unclear or the address proof doesn’t match the profile. If compliance asks for extra information, the clock resets from the moment you submit the last requested file.
- Government-issued photo ID: passport, national ID card, or driver’s licence (front and back if applicable)
- Selfie or liveness check: a selfie holding the ID or a short in-app video, depending on the provider
- Proof of address: utility bill, bank statement, or government letter dated within the last 3 months
- Source of funds (when requested): payslip, tax return, bank statement, or a sale/transfer document showing where the money came from
- Wallet ownership evidence (when requested for DAI): a signed message from the receiving address or a screenshot from the wallet app showing the address and your account name
