  • How are documents kept secure once they have been uploaded?

    Once your documents are received, they are stored electronically in a secure environment with highly restricted access.

  • How do I send these documents?

    Email attachments: to [email protected]
    We recommend that you use a digital camera, and send each document as separate JPG file by e-mail. A digital camera or scanner creates the clearest copy of these documents, allowing us to verify your details with no unnecessary delays.
    To receive further information please contact our customer support using the chat inside the game lobby or by Email.

  • What type of documents should I send?

    You may be requested to send some or all of the following documents:

    3. Proof of address: This may be a utility bill or a credit card statement. It should be a recent document, showing your full name at the address registered on your account. If you provide a credit card statement make sure you blank out the middle eight numbers of the credit card number.
  • Why do I need to send in my documents?

Technical Problems

  • I was disconnected while playing. What happens to my last game?

    In the event of a sudden disconnection of the internet, we have designed our system to cope in a manner that protects our players from unjustifiable loss.
    ScratchMania's 'Disconnection Policy' is as follows: Any card purchased by a player, (by pressing Play Now, or Play Again) but not used by such a player for any reason whatsoever, including technical failure, will be played automatically by the System on behalf of the player. The outcome of the play will be updated automatically into the player's balance. When logging in following the disconnection, the player will see the outcome of the relevant card by clicking on the "Games History" button.

  • Is there a way to change the default card value?

    Yes. You can perform changes through the “settings” dialog.
