Every term below appears in at least one of the documents read for this site, and each entry says where it appears rather than only what it means. Definitions without a clause behind them are marked as general usage.
The clauses behind the best anonymous crypto casinos run on a small set of words, and most of it is borrowed. Knowing which are terms of art and which are an operator's own wording is half of reading one of these documents.
Where a term appears in a document read here, the clause is given. Where it does not, the entry says so.
A drawing that sorts the vocabulary of this page by provenance rather than by meaning. Knowing which words are terms of art, which belong to one operator, and which are this site adding a label is half of reading one of these documents. Each entry carries the clause or the register it was found in.
KYC
Know Your Customer: the process by which a company establishes who its customer is. In these contracts it is almost always a heading rather than a defined term — Wolfbet's section 5 is headed “KYC/AML”, while Thunderpick folds the same subject into an anchor point within its general terms instead of giving it a standalone document. What it covers in practice is whatever the clause underneath names, which is why the documents differ so much while using the same three letters.
AML and CFT
Anti-money laundering, and countering the financing of terrorism. These are the rules the identity work exists to satisfy, and one document in the record cites them directly: Bitsler's clause 4.3 says it may ask for identification to comply with applicable AML-CFT legislation. The instruments themselves, by number and date, are on the rules behind it.
Customer due diligence
The standard name for the checks a regulated business runs on a customer. It is the phrase used in the European instrument — Article 11(d) of Directive (EU) 2015/849 requires it of gambling providers on transactions of €2,000 or more — and its vocabulary is what these operator clauses echo, despite none of the ten operators in this record holding an EU licence of their own.
EDD, or enhanced due diligence
The heavier version of the same process, applied where the risk is judged higher. Bitcasino.io's AML policy contains the corresponding provision on the other side: where due diligence cannot be completed, the business relationship is suspended. Where a document in this record uses the word “additional” — as Bitcasino.io's clause 6.6 and Rocketpot's clause 12.4 both do — it is describing this idea without using the initials.
Source of funds, and source of wealth
Two different questions that are often run together. Source of funds asks where a particular sum came from; source of wealth asks how the person came to have money at all. Bitsler's clause 8.22 names both: it may require additional identification documentation or proof of source of wealth or source of funds where certain criteria are met, notably on large deposits or on concern about level of spend.
Verification trigger
Not a term of art, and not a phrase any of these documents uses. On this site it means the event, amount or condition a document names as the thing that starts a check. Four of the ten documents name one; the full list is on the triggers page.
Deferred verification
Also this site's phrase rather than an operator's. It describes a document that names no moment for a check except the payout itself — four of the ten — and it does not mean that no check occurs. The three states, and the fourth box for documents that fit none of them, are defined on the three states page.
Proof of address
A document showing where the customer lives. Bitsler's help pages give the record's most specific version: an internet, electricity or phone bill, or a bank extract, dated within the last three months, showing all four corners along with the name, address and company logo. Thunderpick's clause 21.1 names proof of residency.
Account health check
Bitcasino.io's own term, from clause 3.13: a random review that the clause says needs no particular reason or prior suspicion behind it, and while it runs, the account, its games, deposits and withdrawals can all be locked down. It is the only check in the record that declares itself untriggered.
Certificate of Operation
What the Curaçao register issues and returns. It names the domain, the operating company, a company number, a licence number, a grant date and a status. Bitsler's own text uses the phrase for a transitional arrangement while an application is pending — which is a different thing from a licence, and is recorded as the operator words it. See licence and verification.
Dormant account
An account nobody has used for a set period. Thunderpick's clause 5.3 sets twelve months, with an email notice after the eleventh month and the balance zeroed thirty days later. Metaspins' clause 13.1 sets a $10 fee after twelve months. See account closure.
Instalment rule
A clause allowing a large payout to be split into periodic payments. Rocketpot's clause 11.5 names $5,000 a month for wins of $5,000 or more; Thunderpick names €400,000; Bitcasino.io names one million USDT a week without naming the amount that triggers it. None of these is a verification rule, and all of them affect when money arrives.
As printed
This site's label for a quotation copied word for word out of a document, tagged with its clause number and the date it was read. A figure or phrase that cannot be sourced this way gets dropped instead of softened with a qualifier — the full set of rules is on the method page, and the way those rules feed an ordering is on what best ranks.
