Identity verification (KYC) is required before you can deposit, withdraw, or enter real-money contests. It's a legal requirement — not optional. If you only use Splash for entertainment-only (self-managed) contests, verification is not required.
How to Start Verification
You'll be prompted automatically when you try to deposit or enter a real-money contest. You can also start manually at any time:
Or tap the orange verification banner at the top of the screen when you log in.
What You'll Need
A valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID — driver's license or passport
The name and address on your ID must match your Splash account exactly
If your ID address is outdated (e.g. you've recently moved), you'll also need a Proof of Residence (POR) dated within the past 60 days — such as a utility bill, phone bill, rent statement, or bank statement.
How to Complete Verification
Open the verification link on your mobile device — or scan the QR code with your phone
Scan your ID front and back as prompted
Take a selfie if requested — good lighting, no sunglasses or hats
Submit and wait for confirmation (usually a few minutes)
⚠️ The flow uses live camera scanning — static photos or screenshots of your ID won't be accepted. Use your phone's camera directly.
Tips for a Successful Submission
Plain, light-colored background — avoid glare or shadows on your ID
All four edges of your ID must be visible in the frame
Your name, address, and date of birth must match your Splash profile exactly — even small differences (like a middle name or abbreviated street) can cause a rejection
Verification links expire after 24 hours — if yours has expired, see Have an Expired Verification Link?
After Verification
You'll receive a confirmation once verified. From that point you're cleared to deposit, withdraw, and enter real-money contests. You won't need to verify again unless we specifically request it.
Verification Rejected?
Check that your name and address match your Splash account exactly
If your address doesn't match, submit a valid Proof of Residence as outlined above
Ensure photos are clear, well-lit, and show your full ID without cropping
If you're still stuck, email support@splashsports.com with your account email, the document type you submitted, and any error message you received
