Rainbet ID and Passport Verification Guide
Updated on July 2, 2026 by the editorial team
Rainbet ID and passport verification is the step that turns a fresh account into one that can actually cash out. Before your first withdrawal clears, the team checks that the person playing matches the name on file. Get the document right the first time and the whole review usually wraps up inside 24-72 hours.
This guide walks you through which papers count, how each option compares, and the exact way to photograph a document so it passes on the first attempt. No jargon, just what Rainbet looks at when your file lands on the review desk.

Choose an accepted identity document
Rainbet keeps the list short on purpose. For proof of identity you can submit an ID card, a passport, or a driver's licence. Any one of those three covers the identity part of KYC on its own, so you do not need to send all three.
The document has to be government-issued, valid, and unexpired. A card that ran out last month gets bounced, no matter how clear the photo is. The name on it must match your account name to the letter, so if you registered as "Jonathan" the verification team will not accept a licence that reads "Jon". Small differences in spelling, middle names, or accented characters are the sort of thing a reviewer flags, and then your file waits in a queue for a second look.
Keep in mind that identity is only one piece of the file. Rainbet also asks for proof of address and proof that you own the payment method you used to deposit. Those are separate documents covered on the proof of address page. Here we stay focused on the photo ID itself.
Digital licences stored in a phone wallet sit in a grey area. A full-frame photo of the physical card is always the safer bet. And if your only ID is expiring in the next couple of weeks, renew it before you start playing rather than after, since an expiry mid-review forces you to submit again from scratch.
Compare passport, ID card and driving licence
All three are accepted, but they are not equal in practice. A passport carries a machine-readable zone and a single clean photo page, which tends to sail through review. An ID card packs your details onto two smaller sides. A driver's licence doubles as address proof in some cases, saving you a document. Here is how they stack up.
| Document | Sides needed | Doubles as address proof? | Typical review speed | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Passport | Photo page only | No | Fastest, one clean page | Glare on the laminated strip |
| ID card | Front and back | Sometimes | Fast when both sides are sharp | Forgetting the reverse side |
| Driver's licence | Front and back | Often, if the address shows | Fast, occasional manual check | Cropped edges, cut-off address |
Short version: if you want the least friction, send the passport. Its photo page holds everything a reviewer needs, and there is no second side to forget. If you would rather submit one document instead of two, a licence that shows your current address can pull double duty and cover both the identity check and the address check at once.
Whatever you pick, the deciding factor is not the document type. It is how cleanly you can photograph it. A perfect passport shot beats a shaky licence photo every time, so choose the one you can capture without glare or blur.
Photograph your ID the right way
Most rejections trace back to the photo, not the document. A five-dollar card passes when the shot is sharp; a blurry passport fails even though the passport is flawless. Follow these steps and you rarely have to redo it.
- Lay the document flat on a dark, matte surface. A wooden table beats a glass one, which throws reflections straight back at the lens.
- Use daylight near a window. Skip the direct flash, since it blows out the laminated coating and hides the details underneath.
- Fill the frame. All four corners must sit inside the shot, with a small margin of table showing around them so the reviewer can see nothing is cut off.
- Hold the camera parallel to the card, straight above it. Tilted shots distort the text and the security features, and a warped hologram looks like tampering.
- Wipe the lens first. A smudge from your pocket turns a crisp document into a foggy one.
- Check the preview before you send. Every line, meaning name, date of birth, document number, and expiry, has to be readable at a glance.
- Shoot both sides for an ID card or licence. Upload them as two separate files rather than one collage.
One more thing. Send the original photo, not a screenshot of it and not a scan run through a filter. Editing apps quietly compress and sharpen, and the review team treats an over-processed image as a red flag. Keep the file in its native format straight from the camera roll and you sidestep that whole problem.
Avoid the mistakes that trigger a rejection
When a document comes back rejected, it is almost always one of a handful of repeat offenders. Learn them once and you skip the second round entirely.
- Glare across the photo. A bright patch over your face or the document number makes the data unverifiable. Move away from the light source and reshoot at an angle that kills the reflection.
- Cut corners. If any edge of the card runs off the frame, the file reads as possibly tampered. Show all four corners with a little space around them.
- Expired document. Check the validity date before you upload. An expired card is an automatic no, and no amount of image quality changes that.
- Name mismatch. The account name and the document name must be identical. Fix the account detail first, then verify.
- Missing reverse side. ID cards and licences carry data on the back too. One-sided uploads stall the review while the team waits for the rest.
- Cropped or edited files. Filters, black-out boxes, and heavy compression all invite a manual re-check that costs you days.
- Wrong file type or a corrupt upload. Stick to standard JPG or PNG and confirm the file actually opens before you close the browser tab.
Sort these out up front and the standard 24-72 hour window is usually all it takes. Most players who send a clean file the first time clear well inside that range. If your file still comes back, the verification rejected page breaks down the specific reasons and how to fix each one. Once you are cleared, you can move straight to the cashier. Payout timings and options live near the payment methods section, and the full breakdown sits on the payments page. New here and still weighing the offer? The current welcome package runs A$10,000 + 250 FS, and you will want to be verified before you try to withdraw anything you win from it.
Sorting out common verification questions
How long does Rainbet ID verification take?
Once your documents are uploaded, the review typically finishes within 24-72 hours. A clear, complete file lands at the shorter end of that range; anything that needs a manual re-check pushes toward the longer end.
Which identity documents does Rainbet accept?
An ID card, a passport, or a driver's licence. Any one of the three covers the identity check, as long as it is government-issued, valid, and matches your account name exactly.
Do I need to send both sides of my ID?
For an ID card or a driver's licence, yes: upload the front and the back as two separate files. A passport only needs the photo page, since all the data sits on one side.
Can I use a photo of a digital licence stored on my phone?
A photo of the physical document is always the safer choice. Digital wallet versions can be inconsistent to read, so if you have the plastic card, photograph that instead.
Why does the account name have to match the document?
Rainbet holds a licence from the Anjouan Gaming Authority and follows KYC rules that require the player and the document holder to be the same verified person. Even a shortened first name can hold up the review, so correct any mismatch before you submit.
