I know this isnt alot of money thank god its not but its the principle. I open a new account (no bonus request) and deposit $100 with a GIFT CARD. I lose $58 playing poker and a soccer bet so I have $42.50 left. They block my acct saying I need to send a license and a cable bill for proof of address since I already had an acct there. I am not even sure if I did. I told them forget it I dont feel comfortable sending in that stuff so please refund what I have left - they told me NO.

Unreal how these places can just hold your money ransom. I have no recourse to this money . All I can do is pass this along to others to watch out for this place. It appears they look for ways to not return funds.

This is pretty standard operating procedures for online poker rooms and sportsbooks.

Here it is:



Word to the wise, if you are ready and able Every book can and to send in documents verifying your identity to sportsbooks, then you do not even need to bet online! SHOULD require such documentation. They have been burned in the past by posters who were bonus whores.


If you are weary about sending in your real name or real phone number to a sportsbook, then you have NO BUSINESS betting online. Find a local bookie if that is the case

Just send them your ID after you cross out everything but your name. That's all I send books...

This was the beauty of neteller - no need for sending IDs to hundreds of places.

WSEX is as solid as it gets, but I will guarantee there are plenty of $5/hr clerks at every top notch shop who would not mind selling US info (SSN, Address, etc)

You got to remember that some gamblers are no different than junkies.

If you were to take action from degenerates you would instill precautions also.

Alot of guys bet offshore because they couldn;t handle the credit part of betting via a local and got cut off and offshore is thier only option.

These same degenerates will charge back thier credit cards when they lose.
