Has anybody deposited with a Credit Card or Gift Card to Bodog and withdrawn? I see that you have to send a photocopy of your driver's license, credit card, and signature before you can withdraw. This makes me nervous. What do you think?

It should only make you nervous if you're not who you say you are.

Thanks for your input. I am who I say I am. I'm more concerned about things like identity theft, fraudulent charges, etc.

I've been with places like Pokerstars, BetJamaica, Matchbook, etc. and I've never had to submit anything like this.

You will always have to show ID. I have had to send ID to around 12 books in the past I would think. I am VERY suprised that Pokerstars didnt need to see an .


This is just our "admission price" for online gambling

It''s to prevent charge backs. Once its done you CC should be taken there like clockwork.

**some places never ask, props. AND others (not bodog) I swear they use it as a slight stall tactic hoping you'll gamble their in the meantime.

It's no problem to provide what they need. Many sportsbooks now require this to process payouts. Even one I was at for 5 years and had gotten payouts from without ID eventually made me provide it.

Good responses. I appreciate it. I was just making sure there weren't any horror stories out there.

I last had to fax my ID in 1997 to a brand new book and they sent my money immediately via WU. So no never had any bad experience... but then again a lot could change in 10 years.

I have never and will never send my ID and I make sure that it will not be a issue before sending the money. Had a bad falling out with Mansion over the issue.

I don't think you would have to send ID if you deposit with a prepaid gift card.

Or any other method except a credit card. You always have to send govt ID if you deposit with a CC.

Some books require it on wd regardless of how you deposit. Won't mention any names but if you ever vacation in Montego Bay you may find some dude using your name
