One of the trickiest parts of setting up a new account with Lottoland is submitting ID documents and verifying your identity. This is now standard practice across the betting and gambling industries in the UK and beyond, and specifically a requirement of the UK Gambling Commission under the terms of licence operators hold to do business in the UK. Lottoland doesn't have the choice - they must ask you to send in your ID by law, which they use to verify your identity and monitor things like fraud and money laundering activities through betting sites. The ID creates the papertrail, part of the Know Your Customer obligations regulators place on betting operators. For players, there's no choice but to upload these documents and verify ID in order to bet at Lottoland - or anywhere else, for that matter.
