What does the AMLBot check show?
The basic AMLBot check result includes risk score
percentage, sources of risk, and belonging to the blacklist.
In addition, the check result may include various optional information
about the address,
such as belonging to the cluster, actual balance, and transferred funds
amount.
The check result may be incomplete in relation to
the described data if the necessary information is missing.
Please note that for blockchains that are in the limited mode,
clustering and percentage value of the check risk score are not
available. A risk score can be provided for a counterparty only if it
relates
to an entity.
What does the percentage risk score mean?
The overall risk score (percentage) is the probability
that the address is associated with illegal activity.
AMLBot
finds connections of a checked address to other addresses on the
blockchain and with
entities of different categories, each with a different conditional risk
score, and calculates the overall risk score based on those
connections.
The overall risk score calculation takes into
account
the risk severity of connections found. For example, in the case of
connections to entity categories Mining (0% risk) and Darknet (100%
risk), the risk impact of Darknet, as a more risky category, will be
higher, and Mining will have less weight in the risk assessment.
What do the sources of risk mean?
AMLBot checks the specified wallet address for
connections to known blockchain services - entities. AMLBot
conventionally groups these services into groups with different risk
levels of illegal activity - entity
categories.
The AML check shows the connections of the
checked address to these entity categories as the sources of risk, with
which the address interacted, and the percentage of funds transferred
from/to these services.
Based on all the sources of risk, an
overall risk score is calculated, which helps the user to make further
decisions about the assets.
What is the difference between an address and a
transaction checks?
An address check is an analysis of all its connections
to other addresses and entities on blockchains, considering incoming and
outgoing funds movement.
A transaction check process differs
from the
address check, and the result depends on your side in the transaction.
The overall risk score always relates to the counterparty.
To check a transaction you need to specify the TxID and the destination
address of the transaction and select your side in the
transaction:
- Recipient (you got a deposit to your wallet) - the
addresses from which the funds were received are checked. The sources of
risk
describe the services from which the TX senders accumulated the
transferred funds with a percentage breakdown.
- Sender (you made
a withdrawal from your wallet) - the wallet that received the funds
is checked. The sources of risk describe all connections of the
recipient address with a percentage breakdown.
Thus, when
checking a transaction, the risks for the recipient are checked if you
receive funds, and the risks for the sender if you send funds.
How do I understand risk assessment?
Each client determines for himself what percentage of
risk is acceptable for him. Conventionally, the risk score can be
divided as follows:
- 0-25% is a clean wallet/transaction;
- 25-75% is the average level of risk;
- 75%+ such a wallet/transaction is considered risky.
It is also worth paying attention to the red sources of risk in
the detailed analysis, described in

What cryptocurrencies does AMLBot analyze?
AMLBot supports all major blockchains and tokens on
them. We are constantly adding support for additional cryptocurrencies.
You can always check the up-to-date list of supported cryptocurrencies

How does AMLBot help to protect you against
blocking?
By checking counterparties' wallets before a
transaction, you can reject their assets if the risk score is high.
Also, before transferring funds to other services, you can check your
wallet address and
save the result (make a screenshot).
If the check shows that
your assets had no connection with illegal activity and the service
blocked you, you can provide the saved result to confirm the purity
of your assets.
The risk is higher than 50%, but I am certain that
the address is reliable. What to do?
The check results are based on the international
databases, which are constantly updated. So an address that had 0% risk
yesterday may have received or given the asset to a risky counterparty
today. In this
case, the risk score will change. If you want to be sure of the result
and determine what the cause of the high risk is, we can do a detailed
check for you. To do it, email us at

How often are checks recommended to do?
An answer to this question depends on your unique risk
model. The general recommendation would be to perform an AML check every
time you interact with an unknown wallet or a smart contract.
How quickly is the balance replenished?
After transaction confirmation, the balance is
replenished:
• up to 10 minutes if the payment was made within 24
hours after the invoice was issued,
• up to 25 minutes if the
payment was made after
24 hours after the invoice issuance. Overall, BTC, ETH, USDT, and fiat
are processed faster than other cryptocurrencies.
What happens if I don't use all my checks
each month?
If you purchased checks without expiration date - they
remain in your account, and you can use them at any time.
If
you purchased checks with a time limit - they will be deducted from your
account
after expiration date.
What if I will need more checks?
You can buy additional checks as needed. The number of
checks is always displayed within your user information.
