After the stringent ACIP (Applicable Customer Identification Procedures) requirements came into force on September 29, 2024, leading online casinos in Australia introduced multi-level age verification: from DVS-API to biometrics and the national BetStop registry.

1. ACIP: pre-verification before account creation

AUSTRAC's new norm: all online excitement providers are required to complete ACIP before opening an account or providing services.
Ban on deferral: previously it was allowed to carry out verification after registration, now it is up to the first deposit and rate.

2. Document Verification Service (DVS)

API request to government databases: when loading a passport, driver's license or birth certificate, the system turns to DVS and receives an instant "verified "/" not found."
Advantage: eliminates falsification and eliminates manual verification.

3. Biometric verification

1. Selfie comparison

The player takes a photo in real time, the system checks it against the photo in the uploaded document.
2. NFC reading

On NFC-enabled mobile devices, the application reads the passport chip data.
3. Double check

Combining DVS and biometrics provides a high level of confidence in age.

4. Banking and third-party KYC-API

Integration with banking systems: through the ACIP-API, the operator verifies the name and date of birth of the client using bank records.
Third-party providers: Jumio, Onfido and others conduct anti-fraud analysis, check money laundering lists and the National Register of Self-Exclusion (BetStop).

5. BetStop National Registry

BetStop (Self-Exclusion Register) is a single self-exclusion register launched by ACMA in August 2023.
Mandatory verification: each provider must check new users with BetStop and block those who have already excluded themselves from games.

6. Continuous monitoring and re-verification

1. Triggers for revalidation

Large deposits, change of payment details or attempts to bypass VPN/proxy.
2. Automatic alerts

The system signals the security service about abnormal operations and starts an additional KYC.

7. Examples of operators with rigid procedures

Major Australian platforms (Bet365 AU, Sportsbet, PlayUp) implemented ACIP and DVS, abandoning "deferred" verification.
Mobile applications: mandatory passport scan + selfie before the first deposit, without skipping - no bets.

Result

Strict age verification in Australian online casinos is built on four levels:

1. ACIP before registration and deposit;
2. DVS-document verification;
3. Biometrics (selfie + NFC reading);
4. Reconciliation with BetStop registry.

This set of mechanisms protects minors and ensures that operators comply with the Interactive Gambling Act and AUSTRAC AML/CTF rules.
