"Users are subject to an automated Knowledge Base Authentication ("KBA") verification process provided whenever a user attempts to withdraw funds. This process asks a series of at least four multiple choice questions about the person's life, such as known relatives, previous addresses, and to enter their last 4 digits of their Tax ID or Social Security Number. In the event of a dispute as to the identity of a customer, DraftKings, Inc. can and does require its users to produce a copy of their driver's license, credit cards, utility bills or passport for identity verification. If a customer cannot validate their identity and account, DraftKings, Inc. will not release the funds from the account.— Excerpt from DraftKings's DraftKings Terms of Use
