Frequent Identity Verification Hold-Ups and How to Stop Them
A lot of delays come from readily avoidable oversights. A blurred or cut off image is the main cause—snap a well-lit picture in daylight with all four corners in view. Expired IDs and HEIC files from iPhones are another reason for rejections, so double-check expiration dates and convert to JPEG or PDF. More frequent is an address mismatch: the name and address on your document must match your Bingoal profile precisely, covering apartment and postal code. If your payment method is registered with a different address, we may need further verification. To save time, collect everything, verify with your account details, and send in a single go. A few minutes of preparation eliminates repeated exchanges.
What to Expect After Your Verification Is Completed

You can make withdrawals any time you wish, and our accounts team will manage them without any additional identity checks for that payment option. We also provide increased deposit limits and special promotions reserved for verified users. In addition to the tangible perks, your account is flagged as trusted, which expedites payment processing and improves security.

FAQ
What time does verification usually take for Canadian players?
We aim to review documents within 24 hours, usually in just a few hours on business days. Weekends and holidays may add a slight delay, but we work quickly. If you submit clean, valid documents that match your profile, approval is occasionally instant. You will invariably receive an email notification once the review is completed.
Can I play and deposit before my account is verified?
Certainly. You can deposit and play the majority of games right away. Withdrawals are on hold until your identity and address are validated. We structured this so you can savor the casino while you collect your documents. Just keep in mind that once you request a payout, verification becomes the top priority.
What happens if my document is in French? Do I need a translation?
We receive documents in both English and French. A Quebec driver’s license, a French utility bill, or any government document in French is suitable without translation. Our multilingual team handles them immediately. For other languages, a certified translation might be needed, but that is infrequent in Canada.
For what reason was my verification rejected even though my documents are valid?
A refusal often means discrepancy between your document and Bingoal profile. Most frequently, it’s an address discrepancy like a missing apartment number. Image resolution can also lead to issues. We give a clear explanation in the rejection email. Check it, correct the issue, and resubmit. Our support staff can help pinpoint the problem.
Is it safe to upload a picture of my credit card?
Yes, as long as you obscure the middle digits and CVV. We only need the first six and last four digits, your first and last name, and expiry date. Never submit an unmasked card image. This is common practice for regulated casinos and keeps your full card details safe even if data is exposed.
Is it necessary to confirm again if I modify my address?
If you relocate, update your address in your account and submit a new proof of address document. This ensures your account compliant and payment checks precise. You only confirm again the address; no need to resubmit your ID or payment proof unless they changed. The method is generally quicker than your first verification.
Can I use a mobile phone bill as proof of address?
Absolutely, a mobile phone bill from a Canadian provider serves as proof of address if it shows your full name, address, and is created within three months. We treat it like any utility bill. Ensure it is the full bill, not a recap, and the address matches your profile exactly. Digital PDFs are suitable.
Step-by-Step Identity Verification Guide
The verification journey starts as soon as you register, though you can play and deposit right away. We typically prompt you to verify when you request your first withdrawal or reach a cumulative deposit level, sending an email with a direct link to our secure upload portal. We suggest completing the process ahead of time to avoid delays down the line. The submission form requests three documents: a clear scan of a government-issued ID, a recent utility bill or bank statement for address proof, and if you deposited using a card, evidence of card ownership. After uploading, our compliance team reviews your files manually. Once approved, you will get a confirmation email and your account is marked as fully verified.
Documents Approved from Players from Canada
For proof of identity, we accept a Canada passport, driver’s license, or official photo ID like a BC Services Card. The document must be unexpired and present all four corners clearly; health cards are not recognized where prohibited. Your address proof can be a utility bill, bank statement, or CRA notice issued within the last three months, and it should match your registered address exactly. If you have moved recently, a rental agreement is acceptable. For payment method validation, we request the minimum: a card photo with the middle digits and CVV obscured so only the first six and last four digits show, an Interac e-Transfer banking screenshot, or an e-wallet dashboard image. Online documents are acceptable, and we assist you every step.
