Politically Exposed Person (PEP) Policy

Overview of Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs)

Individuals holding high-ranking public positions are classified as Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs). Due to the level of authority they possess, there is an increased potential for misuse of power in financial dealings. This higher risk classification is recognized globally across regulatory frameworks focused on financial crime prevention.

Although the terms “PEP” and “foreign official” are often used interchangeably, especially in cross-border contexts, they carry distinct meanings. A PEP usually refers to an account holder, while a foreign official often relates to third-party risk assessments in business relationships. It is essential to evaluate these designations independently.

The foundation of this policy ties directly into the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) framework of comicplaycasino-1.com, which is structured to ensure a secure, law-abiding platform for users, partners, and all associated transactions.

Regulatory Standards and AML Compliance

The AML structure followed by comicplaycasino-1.com is in line with major international and European Union regulations, including:

  • Directive (EU) 2015/849 on the use of the financial system for money laundering prevention

  • Regulation (EU) 2015/847 concerning the transmission of payment information

  • Belgian Law of 18 September 2017 governing the restriction of cash usage and AML processes

  • Various EU sanctions and trade restriction regulations affecting dual-use goods and individuals under investigation

Know Your Customer (KYC) Process

Screening and identification measures are key pillars of risk control. Our KYC process ensures adherence to AML standards and shields the platform from criminal financial activity.

Entities under regulated financial or virtual asset service obligations must perform detailed screening for sanctions, PEP status, and risk history. These steps are critical in avoiding fines, safeguarding the business’s reputation, and maintaining operational integrity.

Continuous monitoring is applied to all customer profiles, including regular checks against updated watchlists and regulatory alerts.

Multi-Step User Verification

Step 1 Verification

Required upon registration. Users must enter:

  • Full name, gender, date of birth
  • Contact info: email, phone number
  • Residential details: address, country, zip code, city, state
  • Preferred currency

Step 2 Verification

Triggered when:

  • A user deposits over $2,000
  • A first withdrawal request is made

At this point, users must submit a scanned photo or image of a valid government-issued ID. Additional documentation may be requested if discrepancies arise, such as:

  • Utility bill or government document showing current address
  • Payment method confirmation, verified through third-party databases

     

Step 3 Verification

Activated if:

  • The total deposit or withdrawal amount surpasses $5,000

This includes submission of the Source of Wealth (SoW) documentation. Transactions remain on hold until all documentation is reviewed and approved.

Customer Identification (KYC) and Withdrawal Documentation

For a complete KYC file, the following must be submitted:

  • Valid, non-expired photo ID (passport, license, or national ID)
  • Proof of residence (utility bill, bank statement, or official mail)
  • Proof of deposit method (clear photo of the card used or crypto wallet screenshot)
  • Wire instruction or banking screenshot for withdrawal validation

Further checks may be performed depending on the risk level of the user profile.

Source of Wealth Verification

Required when total deposits reach or exceed $5,000. Acceptable examples include:

  • Employment income
  • Ownership in a registered business
  • Investment portfolios
  • Legal inheritance
  • Financial gifts from verifiable family sources

These documents confirm the origin of funds and help rule out illicit activity. Until validated, the account may be temporarily restricted, and users will receive direct email communication.

Sanctions Screening Protocols

Sanctions Screening Protocols
A broad range of data sources is used to match account activity and user identities against sanctioned individuals and organizations. These include lists maintained by:

  • OFAC (U.S.)
  • EU Sanctions List
  • UN Sanctions Committee
  • FATF
  • HMT (UK)
  • Interpol

Matching any profile to these sources results in an immediate review and may lead to account suspension or reporting obligations.

Adverse Media and PEP Media Checks

Negative media mentions provide valuable context during the risk assessment process. Public figures, businesses, or any users appearing in reports of criminal activity, corruption, or financial misconduct are subject to Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD).

Profiles are flagged for closer inspection when serious allegations or media content imply involvement in financial irregularities.

Final Notes

All procedures in this policy are implemented to comply with global standards, protect the platform’s financial system, and ensure every user experience at comicplaycasino-1.com is secure, legal, and fair.
