Account verification (KYC) checklist — do this before you withdraw
Most withdrawal problems are verification problems. Do this before you need your money.

Why it matters for arbers
If a bookmaker decides to review your account, an unverified one can be frozen until documents are checked — with your arb profits stuck inside. Verified accounts get paid faster and are much harder to void.
Tip
Keep a simple note of which bookmakers you've fully verified and their usual withdrawal times. Share your experience of payout speeds in Bookie Reviews & Beware. 👇
Checklist
- ✅ Your account name matches your bank account name exactly.
- ✅ Upload a valid ID (NIN slip, driver's licence, international passport or voter's card — whatever that bookie accepts).
- ✅ Add your BVN or phone number if the bookie asks for it.
- ✅ Use your own bank account / card only — never a friend's.
- ✅ Make a small test withdrawal early so you know how long it takes.
