Verification at Paddy Power Casino – how our KYC check works
Verify your Paddy Power account using identity documents and proof of address. Bank transfers require KYC approval before your first withdrawal processes.
Verify account ▸Documents we accept at Paddy Power
Each document has a job to do, and one file rarely covers all three. Here is how we group them.
Proof of identity
A valid, government-issued photo ID: a passport or a photocard driving licence are the usual choices. The document must be in date, show your full name and date of birth, and match the details on your account exactly.
Proof of address
A recent document showing your name and current home address, such as a utility bill or a bank statement. The address must match the one you registered with. Check that the issue date is recent and that the document is a full page, not a cropped section.
Proof of payment method
Evidence that the card, e-wallet or bank account is yours. For a debit card, that typically means a photo of the card with the middle digits covered and your name visible. For a bank account, a statement showing your name and account details. For Skrill or another wallet, a screenshot of the account page showing your name.
If a document in another form could prove the same thing, ask us before uploading and we will confirm whether it works.
Review times for Paddy Power KYC
Most players hear back quickly when their documents are clear and complete, though we do not promise a fixed turnaround for the review itself. The speed depends on the quality of the upload and on whether the details match your account. A clean passport photo and a recent bank statement usually go through without a second request.
If we need something more, we contact you and say exactly what is missing. You then upload the replacement and the review continues from there, so a rejection is a delay rather than a dead end.
Your own payout speed is a different matter. Verification is the gate.
Keeping verification and play in balance at Paddy Power
Verification protects you as much as it protects us, and it sits alongside tools that help you stay in control. Gambling is for players aged 18 and over, and our age check is part of what you complete here. Set deposit limits, take a break or self-exclude if play stops being fun.
