Affordability checks are there to make sure that you stay in control of your gambling activity and never spend more than you can afford! For this purpose, Jackpot.com may at times need to ask you for further information to verify your source of income, to ensure you are comfortable and can afford your deposits/spends and understand how you fund your account.
At Jackpot.com we pride ourselves of being fair, transparent, and socially responsible and want to protect our players from playing irresponsibly. We will therefore take steps to help you keep your gambling levels within limits you can afford, to ensure you feel comfortable to enjoy Jackpot.com fun gaming experience in a safe, secure, and fair environment! Hence, we aim you to play within your own budget!
From time to time, Jackpot.com will need to verify your affordability to comply with the regulatory requirements of the Malta Gambling Authority, which requires all betting and gambling operators to ask their customers for further information to verify their source of income and funds used to play and/or bet, to ensure they have sufficient funds to support their gambling activity and spend/deposit within their own affordable limits, as may be verified here.
All information you provide will be kept confidential and treated in the strictest confidence in line with Jackpot.com Privacy Policy and will not be used for any other purposes than fulfilling the regulatory requirements and legal obligations.
If you are required to verify your affordability Jackpot.com will inform you by email. To smooth the verification process as much as possible, our Customer Experience Team may ask you to contact you, at a time and date that suits you best, and via your preferred contact method, to assist you and discuss your verification.
If Jackpot.com requires you to verify your affordability, please provide as much evidence as possible to show that you have sufficient funds and incomes to support your gambling activity.
