Effective Date: June 5, 2026
Last Updated: June 5, 2026
Version: 1.0
Compliance questions: compliance@betzy.fun
1. Policy Statement & Purpose
Betzy is committed to complying fully with all applicable anti-money-laundering (AML), counter-financing-of-terrorism (CFT), and know-your-customer (KYC) laws and regulations. This Policy establishes the framework Betzy uses to prevent, detect, and report money laundering, terrorist financing, and other financial crimes conducted through or facilitated by our Platform.
This Policy applies to all employees, contractors, officers, and agents of Betzy, and to all users who register for or use the Betzy Platform. Compliance is mandatory and non-negotiable. Violations may result in account suspension, termination, forfeiture of funds, regulatory referral, and/or legal action.
2. Regulatory Framework
Betzy's AML/CFT program is designed to comply with, among other authorities:
- Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), 31 U.S.C. §§ 5311–5336
- USA PATRIOT Act (Title III — International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of 2001)
- OFAC (Office of Foreign Assets Control) sanctions regulations
- Internal Revenue Code (IRC) tax-reporting provisions
- Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) guidance for non-bank financial institutions
- Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Recommendations
- Applicable state money-transmitter and gaming regulations
3. Governance
3.1 Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO)
Betzy has designated a Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO) responsible for overseeing the AML/CFT program, receiving and evaluating internal suspicious-activity reports, filing SARs and CTRs with FinCEN, and serving as the primary liaison with regulators and law enforcement. The MLRO may be reached at compliance@betzy.fun.
3.2 Reporting Lines
The MLRO reports directly to senior management and has access to all relevant records, systems, and personnel necessary to fulfill their obligations. All personnel are required to report suspicious activity to the MLRO promptly and without alerting the subject ("tipping off" is prohibited).
3.3 Board Oversight
Betzy's senior management reviews AML/CFT program effectiveness at least annually and is responsible for providing adequate resources, personnel, and systems to maintain a robust compliance function.
4. Risk-Based Approach & Customer Risk Rating
Betzy applies a risk-based approach (RBA) to AML/CFT compliance. Each customer is assigned a risk rating at onboarding and periodically re-evaluated based on the following factors:
| Risk Level | Typical Indicators |
|---|---|
| Low | Domestic U.S. resident, modest purchase history, no adverse screening results, consistent play patterns. |
| Medium | Moderate purchase volumes, minor adverse-media hits, jurisdictions with elevated AML risk, or limited transaction history. |
| High | High-value transactions, PEP status, adverse media, inconsistent source-of-funds, restricted jurisdiction of origin, or prior SAR involvement. |
Risk ratings determine the level of due diligence applied to each customer account. Higher-risk customers are subject to enhanced monitoring, additional documentation requirements, and senior management review.
5. Customer Identification Program (CIP)
5.1 Information Required
At account registration, Betzy collects the following minimum information from each customer:
- Full legal name (as it appears on a government-issued ID)
- Date of birth
- Residential address (no PO Box)
- Email address and phone number
- Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) — collected at the point of first redemption or when IRS thresholds are triggered
5.2 Document & Liveness Verification
Betzy verifies customer identity through our contracted identity-verification provider. Verification includes:
- Capture and review of a government-issued photo ID (driver's license, state ID, or passport)
- Automated document authenticity check (tamper detection, expiry check)
- Real-time liveness check (biometric selfie matched against the photo ID)
- Sanctions and PEP screening
- Adverse-media screening
5.3 Failed CIP
If identity cannot be verified within a reasonable period, Betzy will: (a) suspend the account pending resolution; (b) prohibit redemptions; (c) reverse any pending redemption requests; and (d) where required, file a SAR with FinCEN.
6. Customer Due Diligence (CDD)
6.1 CDD Triggers
Standard CDD is performed on all customers at onboarding. Ongoing CDD is triggered by:
- Material change in account activity that is inconsistent with the established customer profile
- Crossing an EDD threshold (see Section 7)
- Adverse-media, sanctions, or PEP hit during periodic re-screening
- Customer-initiated changes to payment methods or personal information
6.2 Sanctions, PEP & Adverse-Media Screening
All customers are screened at onboarding and at regular intervals (minimum quarterly) against:
- OFAC Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (SDN)
- UN Security Council Consolidated Sanctions List
- EU Consolidated Financial Sanctions List
- HM Treasury Financial Sanctions List
- FinCEN 314(a) list (when applicable)
- Politically Exposed Persons (PEP) databases
- Adverse-media sources
A positive match triggers immediate account freeze, escalation to the MLRO, and, where required, OFAC reporting.
6.3 Geolocation Verification
Betzy uses IP-geolocation and, where available, device-level location signals to confirm that each session originates from a permitted jurisdiction. Accounts accessing the Platform from a restricted jurisdiction will be blocked from gameplay and redemption.
7. Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD)
EDD is triggered automatically when a customer's activity crosses the thresholds in Annex B. EDD may also be applied at the MLRO's discretion for high-risk accounts.
7.1 EDD Triggers
- Cumulative Gold Coin purchases ≥ $2,000 in any 24-hour period
- Cumulative SC redemptions ≥ $5,000 in any 24-hour period
- Cumulative SC redemptions ≥ $10,000 in any 30-day period
- Any transaction or series of transactions suggesting structuring
- PEP identification at any stage
7.2 Source of Funds (SOF) / Source of Wealth (SOW)
When EDD is triggered, the customer must provide documentation substantiating the source of funds and, where appropriate, source of wealth. Acceptable documentation includes:
- Recent bank statements (last 3 months)
- Most recent tax return (W-2, 1040, or business return)
- Pay stubs or employment verification
- Business ownership or investment documentation
- Inheritance, legal settlement, or gift documentation
Redemptions and large purchases are suspended until SOF/SOW review is complete and satisfactory.
7.3 Senior Management Sign-Off
All EDD cases involving cumulative 30-day redemptions ≥ $10,000, PEP accounts, or any account flagged as high-risk require written sign-off from a senior compliance officer before redemptions are approved.
8. Geofencing & Restricted Jurisdictions
Betzy does not permit gameplay or redemption from the following U.S. states, which have specific legal restrictions:
Permanently Restricted (No Gameplay or Redemption)
Restricted for Redemption Only
Additional jurisdictions may be restricted at counsel's determination. Users who attempt to circumvent geofencing controls (e.g., via VPN) will have their accounts suspended and any pending redemptions forfeited.
9. Transaction Monitoring & Red Flags
Betzy employs automated transaction-monitoring systems to detect suspicious patterns in real time. The following red flags trigger manual review and potential SAR filing:
9.1 Structuring
Multiple transactions just below reporting or EDD thresholds (e.g., several $1,900 purchases in a day) suggesting deliberate structuring to avoid reporting obligations. Structuring is illegal under 31 U.S.C. § 5324 regardless of whether the underlying funds are lawful.
9.2 Account Sharing
Multiple persons accessing a single account, or one person appearing to control multiple accounts, indicative of possible layering or smurfing.
9.3 Rapid Turnover
Depositing funds, immediately redeeming with minimal or no gameplay, suggesting use of the Platform as a pass-through to launder funds.
9.4 Bonus Abuse
Systematic exploitation of promotional bonuses across multiple accounts or in coordination with others, potentially indicating organized fraud.
9.5 Chargeback / Refund Abuse
Patterns of purchases followed by chargeback requests while retaining SC or prizes.
9.6 Cryptocurrency Transactions
Use of privacy coins, non-cooperative exchanges, or addresses flagged by blockchain analytics tools. All cryptocurrency redemptions are subject to Travel Rule compliance.
See Annex A for the complete Red-Flag Indicator Catalog.
10. Suspicious Activity Reports (SAR) & Currency Transaction Reports (CTR)
Betzy will file a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) with FinCEN for any transaction or pattern of activity that involves or aggregates $5,000 or more and for which Betzy knows, suspects, or has reason to suspect involves funds from illegal activity, is designed to evade reporting requirements, lacks a lawful purpose, or otherwise involves suspicious activity.
Betzy will file a Currency Transaction Report (CTR) for any currency transaction (or series of related transactions) exceeding $10,000 in a single business day.
SAR filings are confidential. Disclosing to any person that a SAR has been filed or is contemplated ("tipping off") is prohibited under 31 U.S.C. § 5318(g)(2) and may result in criminal liability.
11. Recordkeeping
Betzy retains all AML/CFT-related records for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of the transaction or account closure, whichever is later. Records retained include:
- Customer identification records and KYC documentation
- Transaction records (purchases, redemptions, reversals)
- SAR and CTR filings and supporting documentation
- Sanctions screening results and adverse-media reports
- SOF/SOW documentation collected during EDD
- Internal suspicious-activity reports and MLRO decisions
- Training records
12. Independent Testing & Audit
Betzy's AML/CFT program is subject to independent testing and audit at least annually by qualified personnel who are not responsible for day-to-day compliance operations. Audit findings are reported to senior management and remediated within documented timeframes.
13. Training
All employees and contractors who interact with customers, handle financial transactions, or have AML/CFT responsibilities receive mandatory AML/CFT training at onboarding and at least annually thereafter. Training covers:
- Applicable AML/CFT laws and regulations
- Betzy's internal policies and procedures
- Red-flag indicators and how to identify suspicious activity
- How to report concerns to the MLRO
- Tipping-off prohibitions and whistleblower protections
14. Sanctions Compliance
Betzy maintains a zero-tolerance policy for conducting transactions with sanctioned persons, entities, or jurisdictions. Betzy screens all customers against OFAC, UN, EU, and HM Treasury sanctions lists at onboarding and on an ongoing basis. Any positive match results in immediate account freeze and OFAC reporting as required.
Betzy does not accept transactions from, or make payments to, persons located in comprehensively sanctioned countries or territories, including but not limited to Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine.
15. Reliance on Third-Party Verification
Betzy may rely on contracted third-party identity-verification and screening providers to perform certain CIP and CDD functions. Such reliance does not relieve Betzy of its AML/CFT obligations. Betzy retains ultimate responsibility for program compliance and will periodically audit its service providers' performance.
16. Law Enforcement & Subpoena Response
Betzy cooperates fully with law enforcement agencies and regulatory authorities. Betzy will respond to lawfully issued subpoenas, court orders, and formal requests for information within the timeframes required by law. All such requests are handled by the MLRO and legal counsel. Betzy will not tip off any subject of a law-enforcement investigation.
17. Tax Reporting Coordination
Betzy's AML/CFT function coordinates with its tax-reporting function to ensure consistency between transaction-monitoring records and IRS information-reporting obligations (Form 1099-MISC, W-9/W-8 collection, backup withholding). Any discrepancy between reported prizes and redemption activity is flagged to the MLRO.
18. Policy Review & Updates
This Policy is reviewed at least annually and updated as necessary to reflect changes in applicable law, regulatory guidance, FATF recommendations, and Betzy's risk profile. Material updates are communicated to all relevant personnel and reflected in the Policy version number and effective date.
