Effective Date: April 2026

Jurisdiction: Autonomous Island of Anjouan, Union of the Comoros

At The Chicken Farm (thechickenfarm.com.ng), we believe that providing the best “Chicken Road” experience in Nigeria starts with a foundation of trust and security. IOGr B.V. (“Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”), the operator of this website and its associated services, is dedicated to maintaining a transparent ecosystem.

This KYC (Know Your Customer) & AML (Anti-Money Laundering) Policy outlines the rigorous steps we take to identify and verify our B2B partners. Our goal is simple: to ensure our services are used for legitimate entertainment and to prevent any form of financial “wahala” or illicit activity on our platform.

1. Purpose and Scope

This policy is designed to protect the integrity of the Chicken Road brand and our partners. By implementing these procedures, we mitigate the risks of money laundering, terrorist financing, and other criminal exploitations. This policy applies to all B2B entities—including casino operators, service integrators, and resellers—who engage with the Company to bring our games to the Nigerian market.

2. Risk-Based Approach (RBA)

We don’t just open the gates for anyone. We use a Risk-Based Approach to vet every partner. During onboarding, we assess each client’s risk profile based on their home jurisdiction, business model, and ownership transparency. Depending on the results, partners undergo either standard Customer Due Diligence (CDD) or Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD). These profiles are reviewed at least once a year to keep the farm secure.

3. Due Diligence Requirements

3.1 Customer Due Diligence (CDD)

For a smooth onboarding, B2B partners must provide the following “correct” documentation (issued within the last 3 months):

  • Company Proof: Certificate of Incorporation or an official Trade Register Extract.
  • Legal Framework: Memorandum and Articles of Association.
  • Business Address: A recent utility bill or official bank statement.
  • Ownership Chart: A clear breakdown showing all Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBOs) holding more than 25%.
  • Personal ID: Valid government photo ID (Passport or National ID) and proof of residence for all directors and major UBOs.

3.2 Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD)

If a partner operates in a high-risk zone or has a complex corporate structure, we dig deeper. This may include:

  • Evidence of Source of Wealth (SoW) or Source of Funds (SoF).
  • Independent third-party AML audit reports.
  • Valid gaming licenses relevant to their jurisdiction.
  • Additional background checks to ensure their reputation is “clean.”

4. Ongoing Monitoring

The road is constantly moving, and so is our monitoring. We conduct periodic reviews of all active B2B partners. If we spot any “funny” or suspicious activity, we reserve the right to pause services immediately while we investigate. We expect all partners to notify us of any major changes in their company structure or legal status.

5. PEP and Sanctions Screening

To stay compliant with global standards, we screen all directors and UBOs against international sanctions lists (UN, EU, OFAC) and Politically Exposed Person (PEP) databases. A positive match during this screening could lead to a rejection of the partnership or a move to the EDD category.

6. Recordkeeping

In line with the regulations of Anjouan, we keep all KYC and AML records (digital and physical) for at least six (6) years after a business relationship ends. This ensures that we have a clear history for any future regulatory audits.

7. Restricted Jurisdictions

We do not partner with entities registered in or owned by individuals from:

  • FATF-listed high-risk or non-cooperative jurisdictions.
  • Countries currently under international sanctions (UN, EU, or OFAC).
  • The Union of the Comoros (specifically for white-label services targeting that area).
  • Any territory restricted by the Anjouan Offshore Financial Authority.

8. Failure to Comply

We take our security very seriously. If a partner fails to provide accurate or timely documentation, we will:

  • Reject the onboarding application.
  • Suspend any active tools or services.
  • Terminate the business relationship if necessary.
  • Report the situation to the relevant regulatory bodies.

9. Amendments

As the rules of the game change, so will this policy. We reserve the right to update these terms to reflect new regulations. We will always notify our partners of any major changes in advance to ensure the road stays open and secure for everyone.
