As a regulatory requirement, Know Your Customer (KYC) is a vital process in ensuring a safe, secure and trustworthy experience at Cooked. KYC enables us to verify the identity of our users, which in turn can help prevent fraudulent activities such as identity theft, money laundering, underage gambling and other illicit activities.
The following guide is designed to help you correctly complete any KYC requests that are sent to you, including do’s, don’ts and other helpful information.
To access and update verification, head to Profile Settings > Verify.
