1. Anti-money Laundering (AML) & Countering the Financing of Terrorism(CFT)

Money laundering is the process of concealing or disguising the nature, location, source, ownership or control of illegally obtained money while transforming them into legitimate assets.

Financing of terrorism is defined as any form of financial support towards terrorist groups or those who encourage them. The source of funds is irrelevant.

Money laundering is an illegal activity and it involves three phases:

(ii) (iii) (iv)

Placement Layering Integration

Placement
The first time funds derived from criminal activities are used in a legitimate money transfer is

referred toas “Placement”.
- Layering
Creating a series of transactions to hide the first transaction is referred to as “Layering”. - Integration
The return of funds to legitimate activities is referred to as “Integration”.

Out of the three phases, the placement phase poses the greatest risk to our business, since:

• - Transactions may be structured to avoid record-keeping or reporting thresholds.

  1.3 Procedures
  In order to limit and manage the evolving risks, the following procedures must be applied andfollowed:

1) All procedures followed must be in compliance with GD no. 10/2386 of July 5, 2010, of Netherlands Antilles and related and Directives

2) Only Fraud and Finance department employees must perform Fraud control and execute payments.

3) Withdrawals must be executed on the same payment method or account that was previously used by the user to deposit.

- In case of a credit card payment, the withdrawal must be executed always on the same credit card and not on any credit card.

- In case that the credit card of a user has expired, the user must make a minimal deposit with his replacement card, provide the copy of the credit card and, after the verification is complete, we execute the payment on this card.

- The proof of payment for all other payment methods, must always display the account holder’s email or full name as well as the transaction/deposit made to our company including the transaction date and amount.

- If multiple depositing methods have been used by a given user, we always give priority on executing the payment(s) on the user’s credit card(s). The withdrawals should keep on being executed on the credit card(s) up until the point when the withdrawal amount is equal to the sum of the deposits made within the last 6 months.

4) All customers, independently of the deposit amount, must verify their account by submitting full KYCs upon requested and anyway before executing any withdrawal request.

5) If player doesn't provide requested documents within 14 days after the request his account would been deactivated, all players fund would been confiscated

6) The process of identifying and blocking the users that have not verified their accounts is flagged in the back-office system. In case of any technical malfunction, the process will be fulfilled by the R&F controllers (by extracting dailydeposit
reports and manually checking relevant user accounts’ KYC).

7) With “Full KYCs”, we mean:

a. ID proof; a photo of the identity card or the passport or drivinglicense.

b. Proof of payment; in the case of credit cards, it’s the photo of the front side of the card with the last 4 digits visible. In case of electronic wallets a screenshot with the transaction made to Favorite Industry NV shall be visible.

c. Proof of residence; any bank statement or utility bill not older than 3months.
KYC documents can be directly uploaded by the user once logged in his/her account. In case for any reason, the KYC documents were sent via email, R&F operator must upload them in the users’ account and then immediately delete the attachments from the email where documents were

attached.

6a) R&F operator will make an initial check for the identification of fake or manipulated documents, cross check the information registered in the users’ account and confirm the authenticity of the payment solution used. Then depositing and playing patterns will be reviewed and then approve verification if no conflicts were found.

1. 8) Customers need to be at least 18 years old, in order to be able to register.
2. 9) Checking for the Payment method’s expiration date (if applicable). As mentioned in point

2, if the credit card of a user is expired, we request user to submit a minimal deposit with the new card, we verify and then pay on this card.

10) Users can only withdraw funds using the same payment details that were used for depositing funds into your account. If the depositing method does not offer the possibility of withdrawals, then the withdrawal must be processed on the customer’s verified Bank account.

11) Long term Money Laundering must be checked on players who are moving big amounts of money and they accept low losses - they opt of frequent withdrawals of

the entire balance and then again shortly they come with high deposits. In these cases on we must run a verification of alternative payment methods used and if so, the case must be reported to the Head of Department for further investigation and actions needed.

12) If AML or CFT action or bet for illegal purposes is verified the account must be blocked, the customer has to be notified that his/her account is temporarily closed for “Routine Controls” and then notify the Head of R&F department, who will act according to the legal framework and always in contact with our Legal Department. Moreover suspicious activities will be reported according to the directives of the Government of N.A

Favorite Industry NV may suspend or close a player's game account, by immediately notifying the player, in two different situations:

(i) (ii)

if the player breaches the legal provisions, or
if Favorite Industry NV.com’ game rules are breached.

If Favorite Industry NV decides to suspend the transfer from or into the player’s account in any situation provided above, Favorite Industry NV will communicate to the player a justified decision for the case customer may want to proceed to any claim in N.Aauthorities.

1.4 Real Life Examples of Frauds

1) Stolen (or vouchers which are product of fraudulent activity in other businesses) of Paysafe card vouchers can be deposited regularly, often in discrete amounts as for example 1000 euro/day and the player place bets in minimum odds, like 1.05 or 1.15 or so and after few wagers or after turned over a bit more that once his total deposit he request withdrawal to his bank account, since there isn’t any withdrawal method available for Paysafe card.

The identification starts from the wagering pattern

2) Syndications of players having information on fixed games are presenting as individuals with “borrowed identities” depositing via e-wallets (Skrill-Neteller etc) where they have stated multiple email accounts try to exploit our offer.
The identification starts from the gameplay pattern

3) Same as above without having info on fixed games but they try to exploit the bonus offer playing like “Pyramid” until the last get mathematical advantage. The identification starts from the contradicting wagering pattern and the deposit/bonus similarities.

4) Classic Chip dumping in Poker, where person lose in purpose in order to pass amount of money in other players belonging to other companies participating in the same Poker network.

The identification occurs in special department of the Poker provider and continue in our Fraud department.

This is the first thing we must check before proceeding further. In case of accidental permanent-self exclusion we may accept to examine the request of reopening only if the customer notifies immediately the faulty selection made. If more than one day is passed we do not get in consideration any notification of accidental permanent – self exclusion.

Step 2:

Taking into consideration the existing legislation concerning gambling addiction, we need to make sure that the user in question is not facing such an issue. Therefore, we need to kindly ask him to send us a written confirmation that he is not facing such an issue.
