A bet made on the flop by the player who raised before the flop, regardless of whether that card improved their hand. It follows up the pre-flop aggression to maintain pressure on opponents.

Know Your Customer — the identity verification step pk18 requires before processing withdrawals. You submit a government ID and sometimes a proof-of-address document; once cleared, withdrawals process normally.
