Upload Guide

Where Your Upload Usually Snags

After this you will know exactly which copy to send for each paper, and why.

Your Photo ID, Fully Lit

Photograph all four corners of your passport, driving licence or similar identity card in daylight, with no flash glare and no finger over the text.

One Page, Name and Address

A bank statement or utility bill in your own name proves where you live. Send a full page where your name, your street address and the date all read clearly.

The Card's First Six and Last Four

A picture of the card you pay with settles the details. Cover the middle digits, then show the first six and last four, your name and the expiry date.

Waiting On the Inbox

Ricky Casino reviews within 46 hours and writes to your registered address. Keep an eye out and send a sharper copy at once if a single detail is unreadable.

You Hold The Papers

What Each Paper Clears for You

This table settles which paper answers which question, so nothing comes back to you twice.

Your Document Went Back: Here Is Why

Which Crop Failed the Read? A crop, a filter or a straightened screenshot strips the edges the checker reads, so the corners, the patterns and the fine print go missing. Lay the whole document flat and photograph all four edges Shoot in colour, no filter or brightness boost

Your Document Has Run Out. A card or passport past its end date proves nothing today, so the file is refused however sharp the image and however clear the print. Use a document with time still left on it Send the current version, not the old one

You Are Still at the Old Address on File. A bill dated months ago no longer proves where you live now, and the checker treats it as out of date before reading the address. Pick a bill or letter issued recently Send the newest copy you hold

Your Winnings Need a Paper Trail

Our Malta Gaming Authority licence, MGA/B2C/557/2008, obliges Ricky Casino to know where deposited money originated. Source of funds checks are routine anti-money-laundering practice for every licensed operator in this market. Nothing about the request suggests you have done anything wrong.

Depending on how you play, the review team may request one or more of the following.

Recent payslips from your employer
Bank statements showing the deposits
A tax notice naming your income
Sale paperwork for an asset
An inheritance or gift letter

Four Moments

Why Is the Check Asked Now?

Our license sets the floor, and we ask earlier whenever the account details call for it.

Which Detail Did Not Match?

A name spelled differently on a card, a shortened surname or a birth date that shifts between files raises a flag, so a photo ID and a selfie with it are asked.

Set a Higher Limit

Raising a limit changes the risk on the account, so proof of address and a payment card image are asked before the new limit holds.

Is My New Card Allowed?

A fresh method brings a fresh payer, so the card image or the wallet page showing your name is asked before the method goes live.

Your First Payout

Money leaves the account for the first time, so photo ID, proof of address and the card image are gathered and checked within 46 hours.

Verification Questions

Unchecked at First, Cleared at Payout

Most players worry a pending check will swallow their winnings — it does not.

When do I actually have to be verified at Ricky Casino?+

A completed check sits at the latest just before your first withdrawal leaves. The casino can bring that moment forward, asking at registration or on your first deposit, so keep your documents within reach from day one.

I got married last year — will a name change hold things up?+

It will only stall if the papers tell different stories. A marriage certificate or a deed poll links your old name to the new one and closes the gap; send it alongside your photo ID and the matching addresses line up again.

Why does the casino want to know where my money comes from?+

Nothing personal is being implied there. The Malta Gaming Authority licence obliges us to run this routine AML step, and it applies across the board — so a request for source of funds is standard procedure, not a suspicion pointed at you.

Can I just photograph my documents with my phone?+

Photographs work perfectly well, as long as all four edges sit inside the frame. Lay the paper flat in daylight, switch off the flash, and check that the small print reads sharply before you send it through.

Is my ID safe once I've sent it over?+

It travels over 256-bit SSL, and the file is read for one purpose only: confirming who you are. Our privacy team handles every request about it at [email protected].

How long should I expect to wait for the check to close?+

Roughly 46 hours from the point your documents land. Send everything in one message to [email protected] and the clock starts once; anything missing restarts that count.
