AML & Fraud Prevention Statement

Chase the Ace takes financial crime, fraud and abuse seriously. This statement summarises the controls we apply in operating our skill-based prize competitions.

1. Winner identity verification

Before any prize is paid, the verified winner must complete identity verification. This typically includes:

• Government-issued photo ID (passport or UK driving licence).
• Proof of UK residence (recent utility bill or bank statement).
• Confirmation that the nominated payout bank account is held in the verified winner's own name.

2. Sanctions and PEP screening

Verified winners are screened against UK and international sanctions lists and politically-exposed-person registers using a third-party provider before payment is released.

3. Source-of-entry checks

Payment flows are monitored for indicators of fraud, including stolen-card use, chargeback abuse, multi-account behaviour and unusual entry patterns. Suspicious entries are paused for review and may be voided and refunded.

4. Suspicious activity

Where we have a suspicion of fraud, money laundering, terrorist financing or other financial crime, we will withhold prize payment, retain relevant records and, where appropriate, report to the National Crime Agency in line with our obligations under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 and the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017.

5. Record keeping

Entry records, payment records, verification footage and identity documentation are retained for a minimum of five years in line with our regulatory obligations and our Privacy Policy.

6. Underage entrants

Entry is strictly limited to persons aged 18 or over. Any entry found to have been made by a person under 18 will be voided and the entry fee refunded; no prize will be paid.
