Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Anti-Terrorist Financing Statement

1. Company Business Model

Rion International ("PlayKibo" or the "Company") is a company incorporated under the laws of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and operates the online gaming platform www.playkibo.com. PlayKibo is licensed by the Ministry of Finance through its Department of Commerce and Regulated Professions under license number 01-G4701 N66787N. As part of its operations, PlayKibo has implemented compliance measures designed to deter and detect illicit activity on its platform. These measures include customer onboarding checks, identity verification, and transaction monitoring controls.

2. Company Policy Statement

PlayKibo is not a financial institution under applicable law and is therefore not directly subject to banking or money transfer regulations. However, in accordance with applicable AML/CFT regulations and international best practices, PlayKibo expressly prohibits and rejects the use of its services for any form of illicit activity, including money laundering, terrorist financing, or trade sanctions violations. PlayKibo monitors global standards set by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and relevant gaming regulatory bodies and will take necessary actions to comply with evolving laws and norms.

Our AML/CFT program includes:

  • A written policy with procedures and controls to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing;
  • Appointment of a Compliance Officer responsible for implementing and maintaining AML measures;
  • Regular training for relevant personnel;
  • Ongoing monitoring and independent reviews of AML policies and procedures.

3. Definitions

  • Money Laundering: The process of disguising illegally obtained funds as legitimate through placement, layering, and integration.
  • Suspicious Activity: Any transaction or behavior that indicates potential fraud or illegal activity.
  • Sanctions: Restrictions imposed by international authorities to prevent illegal activities, terrorism financing, or violations of international law.

4. Governance and Oversight

PlayKibo has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) responsible for coordinating AML/CFT compliance, updating policies, assessing regulatory changes, and investigating suspicious activity. Regular AML training is provided to all employees.

5. Know Your Customer (KYC) and Transaction Monitoring

PlayKibo applies appropriate user due diligence and ongoing monitoring measures in line with applicable laws and international best practices. Our goal is to prevent users from engaging in illicit or unauthorized activities. These measures are enforced through internal operational controls and supported by third-party compliance tools.

5.1 Customer Due Diligence (CDD)

PlayKibo adopts a risk-based approach to Customer Due Diligence to understand the nature and purpose of each user relationship and develop a customer risk profile. At account creation, PlayKibo collects documentary and non-documentary information, including but not limited to:

  • Full name
  • Date of birth
  • Residential address
  • Email address
  • Country of residence
  • Payment method details

PlayKibo also verifies that users do not appear on global sanctions lists or in prohibited jurisdictions.

Identity and Age Verification

A third-party service provider assists PlayKibo in verifying identification documents and confirming that users are not located in sanctioned jurisdictions. Global sanctions lists are checked during onboarding.

Geo-Blocking

PlayKibo uses IP-based geo-blocking to prevent access from prohibited jurisdictions and ensures compliance with sanctions regulations.

Contractual Prohibitions

Users are informed during onboarding that PlayKibo does not provide services in restricted jurisdictions. Attempts to bypass these restrictions (e.g., using VPNs or false information) will result in account suspension.

5.2 Enhanced Due Diligence and Ongoing Monitoring

PlayKibo monitors user activity for suspicious patterns or red flags that may indicate money laundering or terrorist financing. If such indicators are detected, the account will be suspended, and enhanced due diligence will be performed, which may include:

  • Full legal name
  • Country of citizenship
  • Permanent address
  • Government-issued identification document
  • Source of funds and source of wealth

PlayKibo may use third-party providers to verify this information.

5.3 Acceptance Policy

PlayKibo will not accept or will block users who:

  • Fail to provide requested identification information
  • Submit false or fraudulent documents
  • Attempt to conceal their location
  • Reside in prohibited jurisdictions
  • Appear on global sanctions or watch lists
  • Exhibit signs of gambling addiction or mental health issues
  • Use funds originating from illegal sources or restricted jurisdictions

PlayKibo reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts at its sole discretion for any compliance-related concerns.

5.2 Transaction Monitoring

PlayKibo is committed to complying with all applicable economic and trade sanctions in the regions where we operate. To achieve this, we have implemented a comprehensive transaction monitoring program designed to identify and prevent suspicious or prohibited activities in real time and through ongoing reviews. Our monitoring combines automated systems and manual checks to analyze user behavior, transaction patterns, and account history. This helps us detect irregularities, report them when required, and apply additional safeguards where necessary.

Key components of our approach include:

5.1. Identifying Unusual Activity

We use multiple methods to detect suspicious behavior, such as internal monitoring tools, alerts from law enforcement, third-party referrals, and system-generated reports.

5.2. Alert Management

When unusual activity is flagged, we investigate, document, and evaluate the case to determine appropriate actions.

Core Processes
  • Sanctioned Jurisdictions: We actively monitor transactions to prevent activity from prohibited regions. If red flags appear, withdrawals may be delayed or declined until additional verification is completed. We also block funding attempts from wallets linked to restricted jurisdictions.
  • Sanctions Screening: Before assigning a deposit address, wallet addresses are screened against global sanctions lists using trusted blockchain analytics providers. Periodic re-screening is also performed.
  • Pattern Analysis: Transactions are reviewed for irregular size, frequency, or type, considering risk indicators relevant to our business.
  • Anti-Mixing Controls: Specialized tools detect patterns associated with mixers or other anonymity-enhancing technologies. Users may be asked to explain the purpose of such transactions.
  • Blockchain Risk Review: Every crypto deposit and withdrawal is analyzed for fraud or illicit activity. High-risk accounts may require proof of funds, and withdrawals to flagged addresses can be refused.
  • Withdrawal Threshold KYC: Accounts reaching certain withdrawal limits must complete enhanced identity verification before further transactions are allowed.
Additional Measures
  • Multi-Account Detection: We use technology to identify users operating multiple accounts. Cases are reviewed individually.
  • Geo-Location Checks: Device and time zone data are analyzed to detect attempts to bypass jurisdiction restrictions.
  • Platform Integrity: We prohibit the use of mixers, tumblers, and certain privacy coins. If detected, such activity will be blocked.
  • Vendor Oversight: We work with reputable compliance partners and regularly review their performance to maintain high standards.

This policy ensures PlayKibo remains a secure and compliant platform for all users.

6. Education and Training

PlayKibo, in coordination with its compliance team and legal advisors, provides regular training to employees on Anti-Money Laundering (AML), counter-terrorism financing, and trade sanctions compliance. These sessions are scheduled periodically to ensure staff remain informed about current regulations and best practices.

7. Reporting

PlayKibo is required to report any transactions that appear unusual or suspicious in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. If a customer is identified as being on a sanctions list, or linked to money laundering, terrorism financing, or other criminal activities, the case will be reported to the relevant regulatory authority as suspicious activity.
