Send it once

Send documents that clear the first review

Use this sequence when your identity check opens or a document comes back unclear.

All four corners in

A clear photo of the photo page of your passport or identity card goes in first. Check that all four corners sit inside the frame and that no light reflects across your face.

The address line must be sharp

Next comes a utility bill or bank statement with your full name and home address. It must be recent enough to read as current, and the address line must be sharp, not blurred.

Which payment proof

If you used a card or an e-wallet, the casino wants a screenshot or statement showing the method in your name. Mask the card number apart from the last four digits.

Will it take longer?

Nothing further is needed once the file is complete, and the review runs for up to 58 hours. Keep an eye on your inbox and on the account area for a request for one more page.

Four papers

The papers the checks rest on

Keep this open while you pick the right file from your phone or laptop.

Proof of identity

ConfirmsYour name, photo and date of birth

Copy showsFull photo page, unedited, in date

Proof of address

ConfirmsWhere you actually live

Copy showsName, street address and issue date visible

Payment method confirmation

ConfirmsThe account or card is yours

Copy showsYour name, method logo, last four digits

What to fix when a file comes back

Check the expiry before sending. An expired card or licence no longer proves who you are today, so the reviewer cannot accept it as current identification. Send the renewed version with a clear expiry date Upload the newest copy you hold

Getting details back in line. The name or address on the paper must match the account, and a nickname or an old flat will stall the whole file. Match the spelling on your account details Add a recent bill showing the new address

Four corners or it comes back. A crop, a glare or a finger over the corner leaves the reviewer unable to read the details the check depends on. Photograph the full page on a flat surface Retake in daylight without flash

Source of funds: the routine money question

Gaming Control Board Curaçao licence OGL/2013/6789/037 obliges this operator to know where stakes come from, so the question arrives at some point for every licence holder. Treat it as routine AML procedure: the same request reaches a student and a retiree, and it says nothing about your honesty.

Any one of these may be enough, and the request names what fits your case.

Recent bank statement showing salary
Payslip from your employer
Tax assessment for the year
Contract of sale after a property sale
Pension or benefit award letter

Four moments

Knowing which moments start a check

Useful when a request arrives and you want to know which moment put you there.

Match first, then proceed

Details that differ from the paper on file send the reviewer back to the identity and address documents, matched line by line.

Request your higher ceiling

Asking for a higher deposit ceiling brings a check of what you can afford, with recent income or savings papers as support.

Do I need it to cash out?

The licence requires a completed file at the latest before the first withdrawal, so identity, address and payment proof are gathered then.

New method, new proof

Proof of identity and address come first, followed by confirmation that the newly added payment method is yours to use.

What you avoid

Why your withdrawal is sitting still

Read this while your upload is being reviewed, before you chase support.

Can I play at Hellspin Casino before my documents are approved?+

No. The licence behind this casino requires the identity check to be finished at the latest before your first withdrawal, and the casino may request it sooner, at registration or at your first deposit. So a banner asking for papers can appear before you have ever tried to cash out.

My name has changed since my ID was issued, what now?+

Send the current proof of identity together with the paper that records the change, such as a marriage certificate or a deed poll. The reviewer needs the two to line up, so your name on the account matches the name on the file. Anything that shows both names works better than an explanation.

How long does the check take at Hellspin Casino?+

Roughly 58 hours, counted from the moment a complete file lands. Files with a blurry corner or a missing page start that clock again once the new copy arrives. Most of the wait is a queue, not a problem with you.

Why is the casino asking where my money comes from?+

Because the licence obliges the operator to know how a player funds their account, and that duty covers everyone, not just you. It is a routine AML step and says nothing about your honesty. A short statement plus a document that supports it settles it.

Will I have to send the same papers again next year?+

Not automatically. A file that has been approved stays approved until something in it stops being true, such as an expiring document or a new address. The casino may also refresh it after a long gap in activity. Simply send the updated paper when it is requested.

Can I photograph my documents with my phone instead of scanning?+

Yes. A phone camera is fine as long as all four corners sit inside the frame and no glare hides the text. Keep the phone flat and parallel to the paper, and use daylight rather than the camera flash.
