1. Purpose of This Document
This document sets out the identity verification requirements that apply to individuals who visit or engage with D1 Club Casino, located at 63 Lower Dorset Street, Dublin 1, Ireland. The procedures described are maintained in accordance with applicable Irish anti-money laundering obligations and general casino compliance standards.
The purpose of identity verification is to confirm the identity of individuals prior to or during their participation in gaming activity, to prevent financial crime, and to meet the obligations placed on gambling service providers under Irish law.
D1 Club Casino operates as a physical casino venue in Dublin. All persons entering the premises or engaging in gaming activity are subject to the verification requirements described in this document.
2. Legal Basis for Identity Verification
Irish legislation requires designated gambling service providers to identify and verify the identity of customers before carrying out, or assisting in carrying out, an occasional transaction at or above the threshold of EUR 2,000. This obligation arises from Irish anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing legislation applicable to gambling operators.
In addition to transaction-based thresholds, D1 Club Casino reserves the right to request identity verification from any individual at any point during a visit, regardless of the transaction amount, where there is a reasonable basis to do so under applicable compliance obligations.
2.1 Scope of Application
The verification requirements described in this document apply to:
- All individuals seeking entry to the casino premises
- All individuals participating in gaming activity at D1 Club Casino
- All individuals conducting a financial transaction at or above the applicable threshold
- All individuals in respect of whom D1 Club Casino has a compliance obligation to verify identity
3. Required Identity Documents
To satisfy the identity verification requirement, individuals must present valid and current documentation. The following categories of documents are accepted as evidence of identity:
| Document Category | Accepted Examples |
|---|---|
| Photographic identification | Valid passport, national identity card, Irish driving licence |
| Proof of address | Utility bill, bank statement, or official government correspondence dated within the last three months |
All documents presented must be originals. Photocopies or digital images displayed on a personal device are not accepted as primary verification documents unless specifically authorised by casino staff in accordance with internal procedures.
Where a document is issued in a language other than English or Irish, D1 Club Casino may require a certified translation before accepting the document as valid evidence.
4. Source of Funds
In circumstances where Irish AML obligations require it, D1 Club Casino may request evidence of the source of funds used in connection with gaming activity. This requirement applies where the value of a transaction or series of transactions meets or exceeds the applicable regulatory threshold, or where casino staff determine that such a request is necessary under the casino’s internal compliance procedures.
Acceptable evidence of source of funds may include, but is not limited to, recent bank statements, payslips, or other documentation demonstrating the legitimate origin of funds. Failure to provide satisfactory source of funds documentation when requested may result in the refusal of the relevant transaction or gaming activity.
5. Verification Process

Individuals subject to verification are required to present their documents to authorised casino staff. Staff will inspect the documents to confirm validity, check that the document belongs to the person presenting it, and record the relevant details in accordance with the casino’s data retention obligations.
5.2 Retention of Records
D1 Club Casino retains records of identity verification in accordance with the retention periods required under Irish law. Verification records are stored securely and are accessible only to authorised personnel. Records are not retained beyond the period required by applicable legislation unless there is a specific legal basis for extended retention.
5.3 Refusal of Entry or Service
