Account verification confirms your identity before you can withdraw winnings on a Yono app. Here’s what the process actually involves and how to get through it without delays.
Two Levels of Verification
Most Yono apps use a two-step process: a quick mobile number verification (OTP) at sign-up to activate the account, and a fuller KYC verification (PAN card, Aadhaar, or bank proof) required before your first withdrawal. You can usually play with just OTP verification, but you cannot cash out until KYC is complete.
Step-by-Step Verification Process
- Register with a valid mobile number and confirm the OTP sent via SMS.
- Go to the account or profile section and look for a “KYC” or “Verify Account” prompt.
- Upload a clear photo of your PAN card and a bank proof (passbook or cancelled cheque) matching the name on your account.
- Wait for review — this typically takes a few hours to 1-2 business days depending on the app.
Why Verification Gets Stuck or Rejected
- Blurry or cropped document photos.
- Name mismatch between your registered account and your PAN/bank details.
- Using someone else’s bank account — withdrawal accounts must belong to the verified user.

FAQ
Can I play without completing KYC?
Yes, in most apps you can play using just mobile OTP verification, but withdrawals are blocked until KYC is approved.
What if my name on PAN doesn’t match my bank account?
Verification will likely be rejected — the name on your registered account, PAN, and bank account should match to avoid delays.
Is my KYC data safe?
Document handling is governed by each app’s own privacy policy — only upload documents through the official in-app verification flow, never through a third party.
