Document verification at Spartaza
Verification runs in two stages. The first is an electronic check at sign-up, which matches name, date of birth and address against credit reference and electoral data in around 10 seconds.
If the electronic check does not match, the account asks for documents. The table sets out what is accepted.
| Purpose | Accepted documents |
|---|
| Identity | Passport, UK or EU photocard driving licence |
|---|
| Address | Utility bill, bank statement or council tax letter dated within 3 months |
|---|
| Payment proof | Card with middle digits hidden, or e-wallet screenshot with name |
|---|
Upload files at Profile > Verification. Each file must be under 10 MB, in JPG, PNG or PDF format, with all four corners visible. Reviews take 15 minutes to 24 hours.
A player can deposit and play before verification is complete in some cases, but withdrawals are blocked until it is done. Finishing the check on day one avoids a delayed first cash-out, covered in the payments guide.

Source-of-funds checks may follow at higher spend. The Gambling Commission requires operators to review affordability, and a request can arrive after cumulative deposits of around £2,000 in 30 days. Typical requests ask for 3 months of bank statements or recent payslips, with the answer due within 72 hours. Providing them promptly keeps the account unrestricted.
Verification also protects the player. A confirmed identity prevents anyone else from opening an account in the same name, and it lets support recover a locked account quickly. Players who use the browser version should keep the same email on every device, since a mismatch is the most frequent cause of a failed document match.
