Why hongkong pools Requires KYC Verification
KYC (Know Your Customer) verification is a global anti-money-laundering and anti-fraud standard. hongkong pools implements it to comply with financial regulations in Indonesia and other supported jurisdictions. The process serves three purposes:
- Regulatory compliance: We are required by law to verify the identity of users who deposit and withdraw funds.
- Fraud prevention: Verification reduces account takeovers, unauthorized withdrawals, and identity theft.
- Your protection: By confirming your identity, we ensure that only you can access your account and withdraw your funds.
hongkong pools does not use KYC data for marketing, credit scoring, or any purpose outside account security and regulatory reporting. Your documents are stored in encrypted vaults and deleted after a retention period set by our compliance policy (typically 5–7 years for regulatory archives, then purged).
When you first log into hongkong pools, the app prompts you to complete verification if you haven't already. You can defer this step, but you won't be able to join live-dealer tables, place sportsbook bets on Liga 1 or Piala AFF, or withdraw funds until verification is complete. Deposits are allowed before verification, so you can fund your account and explore slot games or free-play modes while your documents are under review.
Documents hongkong pools Accepts for KYC
We accept the following as primary identity documents:
- National ID Card (KTP): Indonesian national identity card — the most common and fastest to verify.
- Passport: Valid passport from any country — accepted globally.
- Driving License: Valid driver's license issued by an Indonesian or international authority.
- Military ID or Government Employee Card: Accepted if current and includes a photo and date of birth.
For proof of address, we accept one of the following (dated within the last 3 months):
- Utility bill (electricity, water, gas) in your name.
- Bank statement showing your name and address.
- Rental agreement or property deed.
- Government-issued residence certificate (Surat Keterangan Domisili).
Document submission process on hongkong pools
To submit your KYC documents on hongkong pools:
- Log into your account and navigate to Account Settings → Verification.
- Select your document type (KTP, Passport, Driving License, etc.).
- Take a clear photo or upload a scan of the front and back (if applicable).
- Upload your proof of address (utility bill, bank statement, etc.).
- Review the information and confirm submission.
- Our compliance team receives your submission and begins review within subject to verification.
You'll receive an email notification when your verification is approved or if we need additional information. If approved, your account is immediately unlocked for live-dealer access and withdrawals. If rejected, the email will explain the reason (e.g., "Document expired", "Address not clearly visible") and you can resubmit corrected documents.
Typical Verification Timeline and Delays
Under normal conditions, hongkong pools completes KYC verification within subject to verification to 4 hours. Our compliance team reviews documents during business hours (08:00–22:00 Jakarta time, Monday–Friday). Submissions received outside these hours are queued and processed the next business day.
During peak periods (e.g., around Idul Fitri, Idul Adha, or major Liga 1 tournament events), verification may take up to 24 hours. If your submission is flagged for manual review — for example, if the document is partially obscured or the address is difficult to read — we may request clarification via email. You'll have 7 days to respond; if you don't, the submission expires and you'll need to resubmit.

What to do if verification is delayed
If your verification hasn't been approved within 24 hours, check your email for any requests for additional information. If you don't see a message, log into hongkong pools and navigate to Account Settings → Verification Status to see the current state of your submission.
If the status shows "Pending Review" and it's been more than 24 hours, contact our support team via in-app chat or email. Provide your account email and a brief description of your submission date. Our team can escalate your case and provide an update within 2–4 hours. Support is available in English and Indonesian during business hours.
After Verification: Access and Withdrawal
Once your KYC is approved on hongkong pools, you gain full access to:
- Live-dealer tables (blackjack, roulette, baccarat, Dragon Tiger) in all studios.
- Sportsbook betting on Liga 1, Piala AFF, Champions League, and other tournaments.
- Slot games (Aviator, Sweet Bonanza, Gates of Olympus, Fortune Tiger, Mahjong Ways).

- Withdrawal requests to any linked payment method (e-wallet, mobile banking, local payment, online payment, e-wallet, mobile banking, or bank transfer via local payment, online payment, e-wallet, mobile banking).
Withdrawals are subject to a secondary review by our compliance team to ensure the withdrawal amount matches your account activity and rollover requirements. This review typically takes subject to verification. Once approved, your funds transfer to your chosen payment method within subject to verification (bank transfers may take longer depending on inter-bank settlement windows).
If your withdrawal is declined, you'll receive an email explaining the reason. Common reasons include incomplete rollover (if you received a deposit bonus), suspicious activity patterns, or a mismatch between your withdrawal amount and account balance. Contact our support team to clarify the issue and resubmit if needed.
