AML & Sanctions Policy

Effective 1 July 2026 · last updated 20 July 2026

Syndicate Bets is not a financial institution, a bank or a licensed gambling operator. We are still committed to running the business responsibly and to taking reasonable measures against money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud and sanctions evasion.

1. Purpose

The purpose of this policy is to promote lawful use of our services, reduce the risk of fraud, prevent money laundering, prevent terrorist financing, comply with applicable legal obligations and protect the integrity of our business.

2. Prohibited activities

Users may not use our services to:

• launder money;
• finance terrorism;
• evade economic or financial sanctions;
• engage in fraudulent transactions;
• use stolen payment methods;
• conduct unauthorised payment activity;
• conceal the origin of funds;
• facilitate criminal activity;
• engage in identity fraud.

Any attempt to use our services for unlawful purposes is strictly prohibited.

3. Sanctions compliance

We reserve the right to refuse access to our services or decline payments where we reasonably believe that a user is subject to applicable international sanctions, resides in a comprehensively sanctioned jurisdiction, appears on applicable sanctions lists maintained by competent governmental authorities, or attempts to circumvent sanctions through intermediaries or false information. We may take any action reasonably necessary to comply with applicable sanctions laws.

4. Payment monitoring

We reserve the right to review payment activity where reasonably necessary to detect fraudulent transactions, unusual payment patterns, suspicious activity, repeated payment failures, chargeback abuse, abuse of promotional offers or suspected unauthorised use of payment methods. Such reviews may use automated tools and reasonable manual verification where appropriate.

5. Identity verification

Where reasonably necessary to prevent fraud, investigate suspicious activity, comply with applicable legal obligations or protect our legitimate business interests, we may request additional information or documentation to verify a user's identity before providing or continuing access to the services. Failure to provide requested information within a reasonable time may result in suspension or termination of access.

6. Refusal of service

We reserve the right to refuse payments, reject transactions, suspend or terminate access and deny use of the services where we reasonably suspect unlawful, fraudulent or prohibited activity. Where required by law, we may also report relevant activity to competent authorities.

7. Record retention

We may retain transaction records, payment information and related documentation for the period required by applicable law, or where reasonably necessary to prevent fraud, resolve disputes, comply with legal obligations, enforce our terms or protect our legal rights. The processing of personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy.

8. Cooperation with authorities

Where required by applicable law, court order or lawful request from a competent authority, we may disclose relevant information concerning users or transactions. We will only do so where legally required or otherwise permitted by applicable law.

9. User responsibilities

By using our services, you represent and warrant that the funds used for purchases originate from lawful sources, that you are authorised to use the selected payment method, that you are not acting on behalf of a sanctioned person or entity, and that you will comply with all applicable anti-money laundering and sanctions laws relevant to your use of the services.

10. No financial services

Syndicate Bets provides digital content, betting analysis and educational services. We do not accept wagers, operate betting markets, provide banking or money transmission services, provide investment services, or hold customer funds on deposit. Payments made to us relate solely to access to our digital services.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in applicable law, regulatory developments, operational requirements or improvements to our fraud prevention measures. Updated versions will be published on this page with a revised last-updated date.
