The question becomes concrete as soon as you sort it by who is involved instead of asking it in general. On the way from a bank account to a playing balance, every stop keeps something.
- The bank or the payment service. Holds the name, the account and every payment. The documented part of the route, and the first one.
- The operator. Holds an email address to begin with — until it uses the clause below.
- The licensing authority. Requires certain checks of the operator, and how far they go depends on the licence.
The sentence it all turns on
Nearly every set of terms carries a formulation along the lines of “we reserve the right to request proof of identity at any time”. Most account holders are never asked; anyone can be asked, and a reserved right does not lapse through disuse.
When it is pulled in practice
- At the first withdrawal — the most common trigger of all.
- Above an internal amount threshold, which is rarely published.
- When the payment route changes between deposit and withdrawal.
- When something in the payment pattern stands out and the provider reports it.
What follows from that
The right moment to have the papers ready is before a balance depends on them. The documents are the same either way, only the pressure is different. What is asked for.
Editorial order. No row is a promise that papers will never be asked for — no operator puts that promise in writing.
