A bookmaker accepts a bet and pays out winnings only to an identified adult player. NeuroVision recognises a passport at the counter without manual entry, checks age, document authenticity, watchlists and sanctions — and complements identification in TsUPIS with anti-fraud in the app.
Russian software register No. 19972 · 152‑FZ
The gambling law ties every bet and every payout to identification under 115‑FZ and an age check. Online, part of the work is done by TsUPIS, but the organisation's obligations under 115‑FZ and the new bans of 2026 remain with the bookmaker.
244‑FZ, Art. 4 cl. 10, Art. 6.1 Parts 1 and 3, Art. 8 Parts 3 and 8; 115‑FZ, Arts. 5, 7.
244‑FZ, Art. 4 cl. 3.1 and 29, Art. 5 Parts 3 and 6, Art. 6.1 Parts 2.1–2.3, Art. 14.2; 115‑FZ, Art. 7 cl. 1.5‑6.
244‑FZ, Art. 5.2 (Law of 29.12.2025 No. 575‑FZ, from 1 September 2026), Art. 15 Part 3.17; 115‑FZ, Art. 7.
At the counter the bookmaker identifies the player itself, in the app — TsUPIS. But the document, age and watchlist checks are needed in both channels — and in two more places that are remembered last: at payout and when hiring a cashier.
In legal betting a player check has five participants, and none of them covers everything alone. The map of roles helps to understand which checks remain with the bookmaker after TsUPIS and where they can be automated.
NeuroVision does not replace TsUPIS and does not give access to the list of those who have opted out of gambling — it helps the bookmaker perform the checks that the law left to it.
Accepts interactive bets and transfers them to the bookmaker. Identifies the player fully or in a simplified way and establishes age, with consent — from Gosuslugi data. Passes the player's data to the bookmaker.
Carries out full identification under 115‑FZ itself and checks age before a bet and a payout. NeuroVision recognises the passport at the counter without manual entry and checks it for forgery.
Keeps records of participants and is responsible for internal control rules. Matches the account against TsUPIS data, looks for multi-accounts and checks players against watchlists. NeuroVision — document and Liveness by risk, watchlists and sanctions.
Maintains the list of those who have opted out of gambling and gives bookmakers and TsUPIS access to it. Receives data on bets and winnings in real time.
The Federal Tax Service licenses and supervises bookmakers, including under 115‑FZ. Rosfinmonitoring maintains the list of persons involved in extremism and terrorism and receives information on suspicious transactions.
A Russian passport and documents from 195+ countries and territories without manual entry, anti-fraud, age from the date of birth. Passport validity, watchlists, sanctions and PEP. It provides data for matching against TsUPIS and the self-exclusion list, while the matching itself is carried out by the bookmaker.
A scenario for a retail network: the cashier photographs the passport with a tablet or the till camera, the fields arrive in the accounting system, and the decision on the bet and payout stays with the cashier.
The player presents a passport, the cashier photographs the spread. Full name, date of birth, series and number arrive in the accounting system without manual entry, and anti-fraud flags a screen photo, a printout and a pasted-in photo.
The scenario compares the date of birth with the 18-year threshold and checks the passport against the Ministry of Internal Affairs database, the Rosfinmonitoring list and sanctions lists. The bookmaker checks a match against the blocked list and the self-exclusion list using the same fields.
The cashier sees the result of each check and accepts the bet or pays out the winnings. Identification data is saved in the participant records — for updating the information and answering a supervisory request.
TsUPIS confirms that an account is tied to a real person. That this person is a front, a minor with someone else's document or the owner of ten accounts can only be seen through the bookmaker's checks.
The welcome bonus is claimed on the accounts of relatives and acquaintances. The same passport series and number, address and device in different accounts are visible before the bonus is credited.
The account is opened by a person who was paid for a passport, while another places the bets. A document and Liveness when a large win is withdrawn show who actually receives the money.
A teenager comes to a betting shop with an older brother's passport or with a photo of a document on a phone. Anti-fraud flags a screen photo, and the validity of the passport is checked against the Ministry of Internal Affairs database.
A person who is subject to measures or has set up self-exclusion tries to play under a new account. The same full name, date of birth and passport from the recognised document help to find a match.
The order in which a bookmaker checks a new player and a payout. Each row shows who performs the step: NeuroVision, the bookmaker itself, TsUPIS or a government system.
Risk. From the moment the list is updated, bets and interactive bets must not be accepted from a citizen who has opted out of gambling — neither at a betting shop nor online.
NeuroVision — provides the full name, date of birth, passport series and number from the document as separate fields — convenient for matching against the list.
Bookmaker — gets access to the list from the Unified Regulator and matches players after each update, at 12:00 and 24:00 Moscow time.
Risk. The law prohibits a player from the list from entering a betting shop and a personal account on the website and in the app.
NeuroVision — a passport at the entrance or at the counter is recognised without a queue and retyping.
Bookmaker — decides where to check: at the entrance, at the till or on login to the personal account.
Risk. Within five working days, wagers on events that have not yet occurred must be cancelled and the bets returned, and for events that have occurred — the winnings paid to the account named in the application.
NeuroVision — matching the full name from the passport against the payout details helps to avoid mixing up the recipient.
Bookmaker — cancels the wagers and pays out through TsUPIS or to a bank account.
Risk. A person from the list registers an account with a new phone or comes to another outlet of the network.
NeuroVision — the same passport in a new session gives the same fields; anti-fraud flags someone else's document from a screen.
Bookmaker — matches new accounts against the player database and the list, refuses and does not send advertising.
Self-exclusion has been in force since 1 September 2026 (Art. 5.2 of Law No. 244‑FZ). A citizen applies through Gosuslugi or an MFC for a period of at least 12 months and cannot withdraw the application. The list is not published: only gambling organisers, TsUPIS and the supervisory authorities have access to it.
A minor at the counter
A teenager presents a brother's or father's document. The date of birth in the document is that of an adult, so what decides is matching the photo with the person at the till and the validity of the passport against the Ministry of Internal Affairs database.
A picture from someone else's chat
A photo of a passport from a screen or an edited scan is uploaded to the app. Anti-fraud flags a screen photo, a printout, a pasted-in photo and traces of editing.
A passport for money
A person is identified for a reward and hands over the account. A repeat document check and Liveness when winnings are withdrawn show who receives the money.
Ten relatives — ten bonuses
Accounts are opened for different people, while one person places the bets. Matching addresses, devices and withdrawal details in different accounts are visible before the bonus is credited.
A new number, the same person
A player from the list registers again. The passport series and number from the new account match the list data — the bookmaker sees this before the first bet.
18+
A bet — after the check
Identification at registration is the minimum the law requires. It is worth repeating the check when the price of an error changes: the player withdraws a large sum, changes payment details or the time to update the information comes.
Before payout — document, Liveness, watchlists, sanctions and PEP. The money goes to the person who was identified, not to the one who bought the account.
The player changes phone or withdrawal method. A repeat session with the document shows that the same person is using the account.
At least once a year for players who are not low risk and once every three years for the rest. Database checks use previously obtained data, without uploading the passport again.
A series of bets on an unlikely outcome, linked accounts, bets right after registration. A repeat check gives the security team data for a decision and for reporting to the supervisory authority.
Each check is enabled separately — the counter, the app and the payout each have their own set. Payment is for completed requests; a check for which there was not enough data is not charged. All database checks are in the general catalogue.

A Russian passport or a foreigner's document without manual entry, anti-fraud: a screen photo, a printout, a pasted-in photo, editing. Age from the date of birth — in the scenario. An additional document — 10 ₽.
Everything in “Document”, plus Liveness and matching the face against the photo in the document. For withdrawing large winnings and changing payment details.

Rosfinmonitoring list, sanctions, passport validity, wanted status — 5 ₽ each. Compliance screening with PEP — 36 ₽.
One session — one person. The session price falls with volume: at 10 000 checks a year — 18 ₽ according to the calculator. A check for which there was not enough data is not charged. Calculator on the pricing page.
The check is built in where the player already is: the betting shop till, registration and withdrawal of winnings in the app. The steps are enabled by the scenario rules — a document at the counter, Liveness at withdrawal.
Payment for completed checks, the data retention period is set in the scenario, support through a ticket system.
A bookmaker needs a check that does not create a queue at the till on match day, does not break registration in the app and covers what the law left to it after TsUPIS.
The passport is recognised without manual entry, anti-fraud flags a screen photo and a pasted-in photo, age is compared with the threshold in the scenario, and watchlists and sanctions are checked by the same requests. Liveness distinguishes a live player from a photo and a screen.
There is no need to assemble a solution from several vendors and reconcile their responses.
A brief guide to the concepts from the gambling law and Law No. 115‑FZ that come up in a bookmaker's work.
Identification under 115‑FZ, KYC policy, anti-fraud and sanctions screening — in our blog.
Yes. Under the gambling law, a bet is accepted and winnings are paid out only after identification under 115‑FZ and establishing the player's age. A betting shop needs full identification; for interactive bets — identification or simplified identification.
TsUPIS identifies an online player, and the bookmaker may entrust it with this under a contract. But the organisation's obligations under 115‑FZ remain with the bookmaker: internal control rules, watchlists, updating information, self-exclusion and anti-fraud.
At a betting shop — from the date of birth in the document: NeuroVision recognises it and compares it with the 18-year threshold, and checks the validity of the passport against the Ministry of Internal Affairs database. Online, age is established by TsUPIS and passed to the bookmaker.
Self-exclusion has come into force. Bets must not be accepted from a citizen on the list of those who have opted out of gambling, they must not be let into a betting shop or a personal account, and wagers on events that have not yet occurred must be cancelled within five working days.
No. The list is not published; gambling organisers and TsUPIS receive access to it from the Unified Regulator. NeuroVision provides the full name, date of birth and passport data as separate fields — the bookmaker uses them to match the player against the list.
No. Interactive bets are accepted and transferred only by TsUPIS. NeuroVision works alongside it: it recognises the passport at the counter, checks the document, age, watchlists and sanctions and helps to find multi-accounts.
The cashier photographs the passport, and the fields arrive in the accounting system without retyping. Database checks run in the same request.
Match the passport series and number, addresses, devices and withdrawal details across accounts before the bonus is credited. For suspicious accounts — a repeat session with the document and Liveness.
The Web SDK for the website and personal account works in a mobile browser and in a WebView inside the app; for server-side integration there is the REST API. At the counter the widget works on the cashier's tablet or computer.
The retention period is set in the scenario settings, and data can be deleted. Where the servers are located is determined by the contract. The bookmaker itself keeps identification documents under 115‑FZ for at least five years.
Yes, for paying out winnings. Winnings of up to 15 000 ₽ are paid out without identification if there are no suspicions, simplified identification is allowed up to 100 000 ₽, and above that — full identification. The winner's passport is recognised without manual entry.
A passport with anti-fraud — from 16 ₽ per session, with Liveness — from 29 ₽, watchlist and database checks — 5 ₽ each. No subscription fee. Testing — in the personal account test scenario.
