Shuffle KYC: Why Verification Exists and How to Complete It
Shuffle carries out identity verification, known as KYC, because it operates under a gaming license and is required to know who its players are. This guide explains what KYC is, why a licensed operator has to do it, and how to work through each stage of verification on your account.
KYC stands for Know Your Customer, the process a regulated business uses to confirm who it is dealing with. If you have used a crypto exchange or an online bank, you have likely been through some version of it already.
The Short Answer
Shuffle uses staged verification. It begins with confirming your email address and providing your basic details, and further stages may be requested as your account is used. Everything is handled in your account under Profile > Settings > Verify, and the requirements for each stage are documented in the Account Verification help article.
Why Does Shuffle Require KYC?
Because it is licensed, and the license requires it. Shuffle is operated by Natural Nine B.V. under a Curaçao Gaming Control Board license, and licensed operators are required to run KYC and anti-money laundering programs. In practice that means confirming that players are of legal age, that they are who they say they are, and that funds moving through the platform are not illicit. Shuffle's approach is set out in its AML policy.
You can read how the license works in our guide to whether Shuffle is licensed and legit, or read the license terms verbatim on the official license page.
What Are Shuffle's Verification Levels?
Verification is organized into an email confirmation followed by three levels, documented in full in the Account Verification help article. You can view your status at any time under Profile > Settings > Verify.
Verification stage | What you provide |
Email verification | Click the confirmation link sent to your sign-up email |
Level 1 — Basic information | Full legal name, date of birth, address, occupation |
Level 2 — Identity verification | One piece of government-issued ID: passport, ID card, driver's license, or residence permit |
Level 3 — Proof of address | A recent document such as a bank statement, utility bill, credit card statement, signed lease, or government-issued correspondence |
Additional checks may be requested where circumstances call for them. The help article carries the current requirements in full.
How Do You Complete Shuffle Verification?
The whole process runs in the browser, with no app to download.
Confirm your email by opening the link sent to the address you signed up with.
Go to Profile > Settings > Verify, which shows the stage you are at and anything outstanding.
Complete your basic information, using your real details from day one. Mismatches between the information on your account and the documents you later provide are the most common cause of delays.
If an identity document is requested, photograph it clearly, with all four corners visible and no glare.
If proof of address is requested, check the issue date before uploading, because an out-of-date document is the most frequent reason for a resubmission.
What Documents Count as Proof of Address?
Where a Level 3 check applies, one document is enough. The most commonly used options are:
A utility bill for gas, electricity, water, or internet, linked to the property
A bank statement showing the date of issue and your name
A credit card statement issued by a bank
A current lease agreement signed by both the landlord and the tenant
A letter from a recognized public authority
Several other document types are accepted as well, including tax bills, mortgage statements, and voter registration certificates. The Account Verification help article carries the complete list with each document's validity window.
How Long Does Shuffle Verification Take?
Email verification is immediate, and basic information takes only as long as typing your details. Where a document review is involved, times vary with volume and document quality, and clear, current documents that match your account information are usually processed quickly. If a document is rejected, Shuffle's 24/7 human support can tell you why and what to resubmit.
Does KYC Affect Deposits and Withdrawals?
Deposits and withdrawals are processed against the verification status of your account. Where a verification step is outstanding, completing what has been requested promptly is the fastest way to keep everything moving, and leaving a request unanswered is the surest way to get a payout stuck. Our guide to instant withdrawals at Shuffle covers payout timing in more detail.

Does MoonPay or Swapped Verification Count as Shuffle KYC?
No. MoonPay and Swapped are independent payment providers, and each runs its own identity checks when you buy crypto through them — our guides to depositing with MoonPay and buying crypto through Swapped walk through each flow. That verification belongs to the provider and is separate from your Shuffle account's verification levels.
Verification, Handled Properly
Verification is straightforward when the details are right. Sign up with accurate information, keep a current ID and a recent proof of address somewhere findable, and respond promptly if anything is requested.
