Getting It Right

Five Steps to a Clean Approval

This is the order that keeps a check moving, so yours lands approved rather than re-sent.

  1. 1

    One Area, Every Document

    By the time you open your account area, look for the section on documents in the profile menu, and note where the upload button sits so you can return to it later.

  2. 2

    A Photo Your Reader Can Read

    Photograph the passport or licence page in daylight, with all four corners in frame and no glare across the text, since a soft or cropped image is the most common reason a check returns.

  3. 3

    After the ID, the Address

    Take the address paper from the last few weeks, then photograph the whole page rather than the corner, because the issuer, your name and the date all have to be legible together.

  4. 4

    Match the Name You Use

    Show the card or wallet name in a screenshot where the first six and last four digits match what you used to deposit, and cover the middle digits if you prefer.

  5. 5

    Where Will the Answer Land?

    Once everything is in, the review usually wraps up inside 61 hours and an e-mail follows either way, so keep an eye on your inbox and avoid uploading the same file twice.

Paper Trail

Unlike a Guess, a Document Proves

Proof of identity

Confirm: Your name, face and date of birth; Show: All four corners, readable text, no glare

Proof of address

Confirm: Where you live right now; Show: Full page, name and date visible

Payment method confirmation

Confirm: The card or wallet is yours; Show: Holder name, last four digits

Proof of identity

Confirm: A live person matches the file; Show: Selfie holding the open page

The Day It Lands

The Moments We Ask, and What We Gain

SG Casino opens the file at the same four points for every player, so nothing feels personal.

  1. 1

    Typed Wrong, Paid Late

    A surname spelled with a space, a birth year typed wrong, a street name shortened: small gaps force us to compare your profile with the passport or licence you send, and only that comparison clears the account.

  2. 2

    A Tick Box, Then a Passport

    Because the market here is 18+, we confirm your date of birth against a photo ID the first time it matters, not from the box you ticked on the sign-up screen.

  3. 3

    Why Is My Cash-Out Waiting?

    Whether it is your first cash-out or the fifth, the payment team cannot release funds until the identity file and the payment method confirmation line up under your own name.

  4. 4

    The Evening You Ask for More

    Want a higher daily spend than your current setting allows? A raise is a responsible-gambling change, so we ask to see proof of identity and address before the new figure begins.

Four Papers, One Question

Show Us Where It Came From

This block settles what the funds question is, so nothing here lands as a surprise.

SG Casino Limited holds licence MGA/B2C/412/2021 from the Malta Gaming Authority, and that licence obliges us to ask where deposited money originated. Hours after a routine review flag appears, the question reaches you by email from [email protected]. It is routine, never an accusation.
Papers That May Be Requested
Depending on your answer, one or two of these is usually enough.
  • Recent bank statement
  • Payslips or employer letter
  • Tax return summary
  • Sale of property paperwork
  • Proof of an inheritance
Photo Rules

Why It Came Back, and the Fix

This block settles the three refusals our reviewers send out most often, and the one-step fix for each.

Photograph the Card Itself
A screen capture loses the fine print, the watermark and the texture of the card, so our reviewers cannot tell a real document from an edited one and send it back unread. Lay the original flat and photograph it Keep all four corners inside the frame
Out of Date, Out of Step
Once the expiry date has passed, the document no longer proves you hold a current identity, so the file cannot move forward on a replaced or renewed document alone. Renew the card before you send it Upload the new one, front and back
Stale Address Paperwork
A bill older than the usual window no longer places you at that address, so a fresher statement from the same provider is what our reviewers need to see. Order a current statement from your provider Send the newest bill you have
Six Quick Replies

Still Wondering About the Check?

What is the source of funds check actually for?
+
At its heart it is a routine duty our Malta licence puts on us, not a suspicion aimed at you. Casinos must know that the money they hold is clean, so a source of funds review simply asks how your deposits were earned.
When will you ask me to send documents?
+
Around the time you request your first withdrawal, the check has to be complete, and that is the latest point it can land. Earlier moments exist too: we may ask at registration or after your first deposit, so keep your files handy.
What happens if a document gets refused?
+
The moment a document is refused, a note from [email protected] will explain what went wrong and what to send instead. Usually it is a glare across the card or an address page that has expired, and a fresh photo settles it.
Who licenses this casino, and what is the licence number?
+
A licence from the Malta Gaming Authority sits behind the site, issued to SG Casino Limited under number MGA/B2C/412/2021. That regulator sets the verification and anti-money-laundering rules we follow, and eCOGRA audits how we apply them.
What if my name has changed since I signed up?
+
Once a marriage or deed poll alters the name you go by, your profile has to match it before a payout can clear. Our verification team then lines the new name up with the identity document already on file, so nothing stalls.
Is my passport safe once I upload it?
+
Yes. Everything travels over 256-bit SSL, and only the staff who review your file can open it. Uploaded copies sit inside a controlled system rather than an inbox, so your passport is not floating around the office.
