I. Creating your Winamax account in 3 steps
 
Step 1: Create your Winamax account

When you register via Rakerace.com, you are taken to the Winamax website and you will see the basic sign-up formula, as pcitured below. Here you provide Winamax with your email address, date of birth, table name and password.

Once you have completed this step, it is possible to play on the play money tables.
 

Step 2: Real money account activation
 
Poker is also about the rush of real money. This step activates your account for real money play.

Here you will have to provide additional information, including place of birth, postal address and bank account information.  All of these fields are required by the regulator of Winamax and are in place to keep poker safe and secure, by preventing people from making false accounts which can be used for illicit activities.
 
Please note, that by entering your bank account information, your bank account will not be deducted. This is simply a control to make sure that you are who you say you are.
 
Once you compete this step you may play on the real money tables, including the daily freeroll tournaments.
 

Step 3: Make a deposit

This step provides you multiple options to make a deposit onto your Winamax account.

When you make your first deposit, you will automatically be credited with your first deposit bonus of up to €500!
 
 
II. Finalizing your account in 2 steps
 
Finalizing your account is a form of identity check that is designed to make sure you are who you say you are.  This process is required by the French regulator and you must complete it if you want to withdraw your winnings. It takes place over 2 steps that are really not that hard to do.
 
You can still play on Winamax while you are completing this process.
 
Step 1: Identity check

The identity check requires you to send Winamax a copy of a valid ID (passport, national ID card or EU driver’s license) and a proof of bank account ownership (i.e. a bank statement or any document from your bank containing your first and last names and Swift/BIC number).  You have 30 days to send the room your documents.  If you do not do so in time, your account will be suspended and you will be unable to play - so it is worth sending them right away!
 
KEEP IN MIND: Your first and last names must exactly match those submitted upon your registration with Winamax.
 
Sending Winamax your documents is very simple. You can either scan them or take a photo with your mobile phone. You have 3 options available:

- Upload them on the “My Account” page of the Winamax website
- Email them to support@winamax.com
- Send them to Winamax by snail mail

Winamax Registration Step 201
 
Winamax has a 24-hour support team which will quickly check and validate your documents.

You may still play while your identity is being checked!
 

Step 2: Activation code
 
The moment your documents have been validated, a letter containing an activation code will be sent to the postal address provided when you registered with Winamax.  This final step allows the room to validate your postal address.
 
The letter should arrive at your home a few days after you completed your identity check.  All you have to do is enter the code provided in this letter the next time you log into the Winamax software.

You may still play on Winamax while waiting for this code.
 
Once you have completed these steps, your account will be fully activated and you may withdraw any winnings!


III. Withdraw money in 2 steps

If your account is fully verified (see steps above), you will be able to cash out anytime.

Step 1: Go to My Account
