How the Sign-Up Flow Works at kode89

When you open the registration form, you'll enter your name, email address, date of birth and the state you're in — that last part matters because access is determined by where you are, not just where you're from. After submitting, you'll confirm your email with a one-time code sent to your inbox. Identity verification follows:

you'll upload a photo ID, and in most cases the check clears quickly without any back-and-forth. Once verified, your account wallet is active and you can link PayPal or load a Play+ prepaid card directly from the cashier screen. Players in Pittsburgh have found the mobile browser flow just as smooth as the app, so

whichever path you take, the form adapts to your screen. Account security uses two-factor authentication by default — you'll set that up during the final step before your first session.

  • Email Verification A one-time code lands in your inbox right after you submit the form. Paste it in to confirm ownership and move to the next step.
  • Identity Check Upload a government-issued photo ID from the registration screen. The check processes on our end — no printing or mailing needed.
  • Two-Factor Login Two-factor authentication is on by default. You'll choose SMS or authenticator app during the final setup step before your first deposit.
  • Wallet Activation Your account wallet goes live once verification clears. From there you can link PayPal, fund via Venmo or load Play+ from the cashier tab.

ACCOUNT HELP PATHS

Where to Turn If Registration Hits a Snag

Registration questions happen — a verification document gets flagged, an email code doesn't arrive, or the state-eligibility screen shows an unexpected message. Here's how to reach us when that happens.

Live Chat The chat icon sits in the bottom corner of every page, including the registration screen. Describe your issue and an agent will walk you through the specific step.
Email Support Send a detailed message from your registered email address. Include any error codes you see — that shortens the back-and-forth on document or code issues.
Account Help Center The help center covers common registration stops: document formats we accept, state-eligibility questions and how to resend a verification email.

Local Payment Options We Support

After your account is verified, the cashier screen shows every funding option available in your state. We've built the checkout around the payment rails Americans already use daily — no need to set up a new wallet you've never heard of. Availability depends on your state and your verified account status.

PayPal

Link your PayPal account from the cashier and funds move directly into your kode89 wallet. Withdrawals route back the same way once your account is verified.

Venmo

Send from Venmo using the account details shown at checkout. It works the same way you'd split a tab — familiar, low friction, no extra steps.

Play+

Load a Play+ prepaid card through your account settings and use it to deposit or withdraw without linking a bank account or debit card.

ACCOUNT SAFETY SIGNALS

How We Protect Your Account From Day One

Security at the account level isn't an afterthought — it's baked into the registration flow before you make your first deposit. Every data point you enter is handled under the same protocols from step one to account activation.

SSL Encryption All data exchanged during registration — your name, ID document, payment details — travels over SSL-encrypted connections so nothing is exposed in transit.
Identity Verification We verify every account with a government-issued ID before the wallet activates. This protects you and keeps the platform compliant with applicable state requirements.
Two-Factor Authentication Two-factor login is active on every account by default. You pick SMS or an authenticator app during setup — either way, only you can open your session.
Data Protection Your personal information is stored under our data protection policy and never sold to third parties. You can review or update your stored details at any time from account settings.

Common Questions About Creating Your Account

Got a question before you fill in the form? Here are the ones we hear most from people setting up a kode89 account for the first time.

Access depends on state law. When you enter your location during registration, the form confirms whether your state is currently eligible before you go any further.

A government-issued photo ID — driver's license or passport — is accepted. Upload a clear photo during the verification step; physical mail or fax is not required.

Yes. Your account carries across devices. Complete registration on mobile, then log in from any browser on desktop — your wallet, history and settings are all there.

Open the cashier tab from your account menu. Select PayPal or Venmo from the payment list, follow the short link flow, and the method is saved to your wallet.

Check your spam folder first. If it's not there, use the resend link on the confirmation screen. Still stuck? Contact live chat with your registered email address ready.

You must meet the minimum legal age required by your state to participate in online wagering. Age is confirmed during the identity verification step, not just by checkbox.
