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 in

or in

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,

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.
