Yes, completing eKYC (electronic Know Your Customer) is mandatory for all users—both new and existing—before linking a bank account or e-wallet (e.g., GCash, Maya) to your BingoPlus account. This ensures secure, compliant transactions under Philippine regulations.
Who Must Complete eKYC?
- New Users: Required during registration.
- Existing Users: Even if you registered before eKYC was implemented, you must now complete verification to link payment methods.
Why eKYC is Necessary
- Legal Compliance: Meets Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA) and PAGCOR requirements.
- Fraud Prevention: Verifies your identity to block unauthorized account access.
- Secure Transactions: Protects your funds by ensuring withdrawals go to verified accounts.
What Happens If You Skip eKYC?
- Cannot Link Payment Methods: No withdrawals or deposits until verified.
- Account Restrictions: Limited access to games requiring real-money transactions.
