Compliance
Source of funds
Evidence of where the specific money a player is depositing came from, such as a payslip, a bank statement or a sale document. It is requested when deposit activity outgrows what is known about the player, and it is a licence condition in most regulated markets.

What it means for an operator
Source of funds is where compliance meets commercial reality. Asking too early loses good players. Asking too late means the money has already been played, and possibly paid out.
A tiered model resolves that by attaching the request to a threshold rather than to a hunch. Scalara raises source of funds requests through Sumsub against the player record and tracks each one to a decision, so nothing is left resolved over email.
