Verifying your Paytm account

Once you’ve registered for a Paytm account, you’ll have to verify it to be able to make transactions. As a casino player, it’s important for you to verify your Paytm account. Or else, you may not be able to withdraw your winnings from the casino.

Paytm has made it mandatory for all its users to fill out the Know Your Customer (KYC) form so that the transactions can be processed in a safe and seamless manner. The process for KYC is as follows:

  • If you want to do online verification, then log into your Paytm account, click on KYC and enter your Aadhar Card Number in the correct column. After this, an OTP will be sent to the registered mobile number and entering it in the required field will complete the verification process.
  • If you don’t have an Aadhar Card or Aadhar Number, you can opt to complete the KYC using other documents. In this case, an agent will be sent to your address to complete the KYC compliance manually. For this, the address and the details of the document must be entered in the space provided.
