๐Ÿšซ Account Blocked or Banned: What You Need to Know

At BassBucks, our top priorities are fairness, compliance, and player safety. As a Daily Fantasy platform, we are required to follow strict identity verification (KYC), legal, and responsible gaming guidelines. This article explains the common reasons an account may be blocked or banned, what steps you can take, and how to contact our support team.


๐Ÿ” Why Was My Account Blocked or Banned?

Accounts may be blocked or restricted for several reasons. These typically fall under the following categories:

โœ… Identity Verification (KYC) Issues

  • Incomplete or Failed Verification: If your identity cannot be verified using the provided information.

  • Underage Users: You must be 21 or older to participate in paid contests.

  • Mismatched Documents: Uploaded documents do not match account details.

  • Duplicate Accounts: Multiple accounts linked to the same individual (Reason Code: ID-EX).

  • Use of High-Risk Devices: Attempting verification using VPNs, proxy networks, or flagged devices (Reason Codes: DFP-VPRP, DFP-HR-CONN).

๐Ÿ“ Geolocation & Legal Compliance

  • BassBucks is only available in jurisdictions where Daily Fantasy Sports are legal. If youโ€™re located in a restricted or banned state (e.g., Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, Montana, Washington), your account may be blocked automatically.

๐Ÿšซ High-Risk or Restricted Status

  • GIDX System Flags: Our KYC provider may flag users with high-risk activity or deceased status (Reason Codes: ID-HR, ID-DECEASED).

  • Blocked or Watchlisted Users: If you are flagged for suspicious activity or appear on a watchlist (Reason Codes: ID-BLOCK, ID-WL).
