Using a driving licence as proof of address

If you hold a valid driving licence, you can use it as proof of address (only if dated within 3 months).

If you use your driving licence for address verification, you’ll need to provide a different document for identity/age verification (for example, a passport).


How long does verification take?

Once your documents are uploaded, we review them as quickly as possible.

Typical timeframes

  • Age verification: around 2 hours

  • Most standard checks: within 24 hours

  • Additional checks: up to 72 hours

Important: Review times can vary depending on document type, image quality and whether extra checks are required.

What happens next?

  • We’ll email you as soon as verification is complete.

  • If we need more information, we’ll email you with clear next steps.


What happens if we can’t verify your account?

If we don’t receive the required details (or the document isn’t clear), your account may stay restricted while we complete the checks.

When an account is restricted, you won’t be able to:

  • Deposit

  • Withdraw

  • Place bets or wagers using bonus or real funds

Your account will remain restricted until we’ve verified both:

  • your identity, and

  • your proof of address


Timeframes and restrictions

  • UK: Restrictions may apply until verification is completed

  • All other countries: you typically have:

    • Up to 72 hours to verify your identity

    • Up to 28 days to verify your address

Note: These timeframes are indicative and may vary in some cases.


I have changed my name. What can I do?

If you have changed your name, please contact us so we can update your account details. To support this request, we may ask you to provide one of the following documents:

  • A marriage certificate or

  • A change of name deed (deed poll)

Once received and reviewed, we’ll update your account accordingly.


Alternative documents that may be requested

We may occasionally need to request documents while you hold an account with us.

We don’t always require all documents, and in some cases, none at all.

If information is needed, we’ll contact you by email.
