How To Upload Fica Documents On Hollywoodbets: Complete Guide

Everyone who has decided to open an account at Hollywoodbets must pass a FICA verification by submitting the required documents. As you’ll see in this Hollywoodbets FICA guide, there are several ways to finish the process, and the steps for each one are outlined on the page below.

What Does FICA Stand For?

Before you submit FICA documents at Hollywoodbets, it is essential to know that FICA stands for the Financial Intelligence Centre Act. The purpose of the Financial Intelligence Centre Act is to prevent financial crimes such as tax evasion and money laundering and to protect the integrity of the South African financial system.

Resultantly, the act requires betting establishments to verify the identity of their customers to ensure it is compliant with the various provisions of the act. Those wishing to place wagers at Hollywoodbets must comply with the FICA process before they are permitted to withdraw funds from their accounts.

When uploading your proof of identity documents, you must ensure that your documents are valid. You must also ensure that all identity documents have clear images and that the information is visible.

Mistakes to Avoid When Sending FICA Documents to Hollywoodbets

During the preparation of this FICA Hollywoodbets guide, I’ve noticed many clients struggle to complete the process because of the following mistakes.

• Submitting Low-Quality Photos – In this case, the documents will be rejected. Make sure to send high-quality images with readable text.
• Cropped Documents – If the images are cropped and the four corners of the documents are not vissible, they will be rejected.
• Wrong File Formats and Sizes – keep you images under 5MB and in formats such as JPG and PNG.
• Expired Proof of Identity – Before sending your proof of identity, double-check the date ot expiration. If you try to submit expired documents, the Hollywoodbets team will reject them.
• Not Valid Proof of Address – If the proof of address is rejected as “not valid”, the document may be unreadable or unacceptable. That’s why you should stick to official bills and government documents that are not handwritten.

Conclusion

Hollywoodbets has made the submission of FICA documents as streamlined as it possibly can. This is a testament to the professionalism of the Hollywoodbets organization and testament to the company’s adherence to the Financial Intelligence Centre Act of 2021.
