FICA (Financial Intelligence Centre Act) is a legal requirement in South Africa for all licensed betting platforms, including 10bet. It's how betting sites verify your identity and address to prevent financial crimes like money laundering and fraud, keeping your account and funds safe. You need to complete FICA verification before you can withdraw your winnings from 10bet.

Why FICA is a Must for Your 10bet Account

Think of FICA as a security guard for your money and your account. Betting sites like 10bet need to know who their customers are to follow the law and stop bad guys from using the platform for illegal activities. This process protects everyone involved, including you, by making sure withdrawals go to the right person and that your information is secure.

I remember once trying to withdraw a small win from another betting site, and it got stuck. Turns out, I hadn't completed my FICA properly. It was a bit of a hassle to go back and upload everything, but once it was done, the money came through quickly. It really showed me why they have these rules in place!

How to FICA Your 10bet Account

FICA-verifying your 10bet account is a straightforward process. You'll need to submit specific documents to prove your identity and where you live.

Here's how you can do it:

• Online Upload (Recommended)

1. Log in to your 10bet account.

2. Go to your Profile or "My Account" section. Look for an icon that looks like a head and shoulders, or a menu option called "Account Verification" or "Documents."

3. Select "Account Verification" from the menu.

4. Choose the document type you want to upload from the drop-down menu (e.g., ID, passport).

5. Click "Upload Files" and select the clear photos or scanned copies of your documents from your device.

6. Keep uploading until you have submitted at least one proof of ID and one proof of address.

• Email
• You can also email scanned copies or clear photos of your FICA documents to support@10bet.co.za. Make sure you send it from the email address linked to your 10bet account.

Required FICA Documents for 10bet

You'll need two main types of documents:

1. Proof of Identity: This confirms who you are.

• A valid South African ID (green barcoded ID book or Smart ID card)
• A valid passport
• A valid driver's license

Make sure the document is not expired and clearly shows your full name, photo, and ID/passport number.

2. Proof of Address: This confirms where you live.

• A recent utility bill (like electricity or water)
• A recent bank statement (not older than 3 months)
• A clothing or retail account statement
• A lease or rental agreement

The document must be no older than three months and clearly show your full name and residential address.

Tips for a Smooth FICA Process

• Be prepared: Have all your documents ready and in a digital format (JPG, PNG for ID; JPG, PDF for address) before you start.
• Clear copies: Ensure your photos or scans are clear, in focus, and show all corners of the document. Blurred or black-and-white copies might not be accepted.
• Correct Information: The details on your documents must match the information you used when you registered your 10bet account.
• Patience is Key: 10bet usually takes between 24-48 hours to review your documents, but it can sometimes be quicker. You can check the status by contacting their support team.

I remember my friend was so excited after winning a big bet on 10bet, but he couldn't get his money out because his bank statement was too old for FICA. He had to rush to get a new one, which delayed his celebration. It just goes to show that getting these documents in order early saves a lot of trouble!
