1. Why KYC Identity Verification is Required on Goperya
Know Your Customer (KYC) identity verification is a mandatory regulatory requirement across licensed online entertainment platforms in the Philippines. Implemented to protect both players and financial institutions, KYC serves three fundamental security functions:
Confirming birth dates on valid government IDs strictly enforces the 21+ legal age threshold set by Philippine iGaming laws.
KYC ensures that cash withdrawals are dispatched strictly to e-wallet accounts (GCash / Maya) matching the verified account holder's name.
Authenticating account identities satisfies BSP and Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) transaction monitoring requirements.
