One identity. One check. Published up front.
Most firms bury their compliance rules until the moment they can be used to deny a payout. This policy states ours before you pay: who gets verified, when, against what lists, from which jurisdictions we cannot take customers, and how long records are kept.
1. Purpose & scope
Unnamed Futures, LLC (name pending) sells access to a simulated trading evaluation service and is not a bank, broker, or money services business. We nonetheless maintain this anti-money-laundering and know-your-customer program voluntarily, because we move real money in two directions — collecting fees and paying rewards — and because publishing the program up front prevents it from ever being used as a surprise. This policy applies to every account, purchase, and payout.
2. Verification at first payout
Identity verification is required once, at your first payout request — not at signup, and not repeatedly thereafter unless your details change or Section 7 applies. Verification is performed by a specialist vendor and consists of a government-issued photo ID and an automated liveness check. The verified legal name must match the name on the account and on the payout destination.
The check typically completes in minutes; we commit to resolving verification within 3 business days or telling you exactly what is missing. A payout request is never silently denied for KYC reasons — any failure states what failed and how to cure it, consistent with the bounded-discretion standard in the Terms of Service. Handling of KYC data is described in the Privacy Policy.
3. Sanctions screening
We screen customers against applicable sanctions lists — including the U.S. OFAC SDN and consolidated lists and, where relevant, UN, EU, and UK lists — at first payout and on an ongoing basis thereafter. A confirmed match requires us to freeze the relationship and refuse payment; that outcome is imposed by law, not by our discretion. A potential (false-positive) match pauses the payout only until the match is cleared, and we will tell you that a screening review is the reason for the delay.
4. Restricted jurisdictions
We do not open accounts for, or pay rewards to, persons located in or resident of jurisdictions subject to comprehensive sanctions or where our service cannot lawfully be offered. As of this version the restricted list is:
- Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria
- The Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine
- Russia and Belarus
- Any jurisdiction added by applicable sanctions law from time to time — updates are published here with a new version number before enforcement
The restriction is enforced at checkout and at payout, and it is published here so that no one buys an evaluation we already know we cannot pay. If your jurisdiction becomes restricted after purchase through no act of yours, the remedy in Section 3 of the Terms applies: unused fees are refunded and previously earned, eligible payouts are honored to the extent the law permits.
5. One-identity policy
One person, one legal identity, one KYC record. You may hold multiple accounts up to the published household cap, but every account must be registered and traded under your own identity. Completing verification with someone else’s documents, trading an account on behalf of another person, or buying or selling a passed account are each prohibited conduct under the Rulebook and grounds for closure. VPNs, proxies, or remote sessions used to conceal identity or jurisdiction fall under the same rule — traveling is fine; hiding who or where you are is not.
6. Payment methods & source of funds
Fees must be paid with a payment method in your own name that you are authorized to use. We reserve the right to ask reasonable questions about the ownership of a payment method or the source of funds when objective red flags appear — for example, payments from third parties, rapid purchases across many identities from one instrument, or a payment instrument that fails processor verification. Any such inquiry will state what triggered it and what documentation resolves it. We do not accept cash or anonymous payment instruments.
7. Monitoring & escalation
We monitor for the patterns this program exists to catch: identity sharing, payment fraud, structuring of purchases or payout requests, and activity linked to sanctioned parties. Where a specific, articulable concern exists we may pause the affected payout or account while it is reviewed, request updated verification, and — where the law requires — report to and cooperate with law enforcement and regulators, which may limit what we can disclose to you about a specific review. Pauses are bounded: an open review either resolves with a written outcome or escalates; it does not become an indefinite hold.
8. Record retention
KYC verification records are retained for 5 years after account closure. Payment and payout records are retained for 7 years to satisfy tax and accounting requirements. Screening results and review notes are retained with the account record. Retention and deletion mechanics follow the Privacy Policy; data subject deletion requests cannot shorten these legally required periods.
