Should a book do this ?

Doug · Mar 23, 2010

They want copies of my DL, and credit card ( front and back), and fill out and sign some stupid form in order to transfer out some $. I've been with this book for years, ( off and on) and done transfers before.

Last year I made a few small deposits with a credit card, my account has been zeroed out for several months. I transferred in recently, won, and want to transfer some to another book.

Why must they have the old CC Bullshit, when this balance didn't result from the months old CC deposits.

Now I have to go to the library print this form ( my printer doesn't work for shit), copy the documents, fax it to them.....then get the traditional too dark stalling excuse.

And this is an A book. I know I've probably sent this shit before, too.

Matchbook asked me recently to do the same thing. I just emailed them that I don't feel comfortable emailing my DL. I'm still waiting to see what they reply.

Is MB the one who's doing this to you?

Doug · Mar 23, 2010

No, I'm trying to transfer into Matchbook, as they are my main out.

I thought I would eliminate this BS from the CC, since the account zeroed out.

This should be treated like cash, since the CC charges are old, IMO.

Just loaded with Matchbook......Had to send copy of D.L.
Not to keen on this.....Once Info was recieved....My account
was activated......I never heard any negative feedback with this info going to Matchy.

This seems to be standard procedure these days. I reluctantly scanned the DL info to matchbook. Have had other "grade A" books request the same if I wanted to withdraw money or transfer.

Hell, I figure I now have multiple personalities and am good to drive in many countries.

It seems a lot of books are requiring more than they used to. I know Caribsports has asked me for a CC Agreement form for the last two cards that I used. I just emailed it to them and was cleared for bets right away.

I've learned, play by their rules, or don't play at all.

Get a credit account, heard it is much easier

What a bunch of crap. The day books display the same CS as the DMV for money they owe me, is the day I am done.

HacheMan · Mar 23, 2010

Can anyone confirm their TRUE reason for needing such info?

bigbet1234 · Mar 23, 2010

Hache, cause they can. And proably 95% of the time, most say fvck it and keep gambling and lose it all

Gave up on the online thing about a year ago. Have been using 2 locals.

It was tough for awhile but when I read threads like this I'm glad I did.

michael777 · Mar 23, 2010

sent dozens of scans to books,no big deal at all,i never would play with a local again

Doug · Mar 23, 2010

Funny how they take in deposits no problem, it's payouts that become the issue.

They now want stuff you send them years ago.

If your D/L expires in April, I can see them stalling until they get an "update".

This book should transfer for me w/o more BS. The money in the account is not from a CC deposit.

I should be able to get the BS sent Wed/day.

They should never ask for a cc when you want to cash out.

You should need to do it the day you deposit with it or not at all.

LOL,this happened to me last year on a phone bill.I knew it was clear as day.Went back and forth with them for awhile,so much BS.I got so frustrated,ended up just settling with them and taking a loss.Must be a trick that all these companies use.Well,GL with this Doug.It just tripped me out that you mentioned this.I was pretty sure they were giving me the runaround but just got fed up and gave in.

Joedogs · Mar 24, 2010

Do books want a copy of cc and D.L to protect against CC fraud on deposits?

I got it done. A trip to the gas station to use a flat top copier, then to the library to print the CC authorization form.

Fax it over, this one is too dark, this one is too light, etc. So I fuck around with the contrast, and resend....it's kind of blurry..... 2 hours of dicking around, fortunately I have a fax machine, or it would have cost me $10+ at Staples.

So I ask for the bossman, 15 minutes later my dime is transferred to Matchbook.

I wanted a $500 transfer yesterday, couldn't get it, won, so the stall cost the book $500. :toast:. That's the way it should be. This is a sponsor book, and a top book, too ! I won't name it, but It should be obvious who it is.

They usually request the docs for ''security reasons''..., some times seems to work, because is there way to be aware that the custumer is the one asking for the money. Also, it supposed to be just in case you place a chargeback; to be honest, I have no idea how this could work..., but that is usually why they do that....

I had to send documents several times and no problems so far...
Also..., scratch the cc numbers in the midle... 475621*****6544 o something.., just in case..., and scratch the ID picture..
