Today I called my friendly offshore bookmaker to request a payout. I was informed that they require a photo ID prior to releasing a payout. I do not play all that often and it has been about a year since the Gods of Gaming have smiled on me so much that I could request a payout. This was the first time I have ever been asked for ID. Has this happened to any of my fellow posters?
Yup happens all the time, be prepared for the following game:
Sending them fax, waiting 24 hour
They reply and tell you that it's too dark
You send them again, this time at Kinkos or some shit so the dude can make it perfect
They reply another day later, telling you this time it's too light and can you email them with attatchment
You email them attatchment scanned, they reply 24 hours later and tell you that you need to convert the image into jpg so they can open for security reasons
^ Exact scenerio happened to me last time I was asked for ID, took 3-4 days extra and 20 phone calls

To Mr Fucnluc
Your situation happened to me. Not having a fax machine in my mailtruck I had to ask one of my business stops to send it for me. The book claims that the fax came through to dark and would have to be resent. Not wanting to wear out the kindeness of my customer I demanded to speak with a super at the book. After raising my voice the super grudgingly gave in without a second fax being sent. It seems fishy to me because the copy that was faxed down was crystal clear. I think the problem was on their end but they did not want to hear that. So I trust the check is on its way to me. Picture this a Mailman waiting for a Fed Ex driver !!!!
