Gbets FICA Verification – Simple Steps to Get Betting Ready

If you’re new to Gbets, the first thing you’ll hit is the FICA check. It’s a South African law that stops fraud and makes sure your money is safe. The good news? It only takes a few minutes if you know exactly what to do. Below we walk through the whole process, point out the easy fixes, and share tips to keep things moving.

Why FICA Matters for Gbets

Gbets can’t let you place a bet until they confirm who you are. That’s the Financial Intelligence Centre Act (FICA) at work. It protects you from identity theft and stops illegal money flows. For the platform, it means they can keep the site clean and avoid hefty fines. For you, it means every deposit and withdrawal is tied to a real, verified person – no surprise account blocks.

Step‑by‑Step FICA Checklist

1. Gather Your Documents
You’ll need a clear copy of your South African ID, a recent utility bill (electricity or water), and proof of address if your ID doesn’t show it. A passport works too, but you’ll still need a bill for address verification. Keep the files under 2 MB and in JPG or PNG format to avoid upload errors.

2. Log In and Open the Verification Tab
After you register, go to ‘My Account’ and click ‘Verification’. The page shows a checklist with green ticks for completed items and red warnings for missing pieces.

3. Upload the Files
Drag the ID and bill onto the upload boxes. The system runs an instant scan – if it’s blurry, you’ll see an error instantly. A quick tip: use natural light when you take the photo, and make sure the whole document is visible.

4. Fill In the Personal Details
Gbets will ask for name, surname, and date of birth exactly as they appear on your ID. Double‑check the spelling – a typo can send the verification back to you for correction, adding days to the wait.

5. Submit and Wait
Once you hit ‘Submit’, the review team usually replies within an hour, but it can take up to 24 hours during peak times. You’ll get a notification in the app or an email when it’s approved. If anything is missing, they’ll tell you what to fix.

Quick Tips to Speed Things Up
- Use the Gbets mobile app for the upload – the camera integration often produces clearer images than scanning on a desktop.
- Keep your internet connection stable; a dropped upload can corrupt the file and force you to start over.
- If you’ve recently changed address, make sure the utility bill is dated within the last three months – older bills get rejected.

Once your FICA is approved, you can fund your account, claim welcome bonuses, and place bets on football, rugby, or even try the Betgames. The verification stays valid for 12 months, so you won’t have to repeat it unless you change your personal details.

Still stuck? Gbets customer support offers live chat and a phone line dedicated to verification issues. Have your reference number ready and they’ll walk you through the missing step.

Bottom line: the FICA step might feel like a hurdle, but it’s a one‑time thing that protects your cash and lets you enjoy all of Gbets’ features without interruptions. Follow the checklist, keep your documents clean, and you’ll be betting in no time.
