    I could be wrong but I don’t think the casino’s stipulate any visual requirements when they are sticking one up your arse.

    They are only interested in selfies when its you trying to take money off them, at which point they insist on on a full cavity search without lube – whilst leaving the “cancel withdrawal” button close at hand 🙂

    Hi Andy if you are about.

    Why on Earth have i been requested to send in my passport ID, with it held next to my face? Is this some kind of joke request? The chat bloke was an absolute wanker, a patronising dick head that seemingly thought he ruled the world – i have got to say, there is fucking no way that it is a legal requirement to have to send a “Selfie” as he put it.

    I have deposited over £1.4 Million pounds at Casumo and have previously sent them my passport……..

    Is this how they are stopping me playing… not banning me as such but just making it all about bullshit?

    I’d be interested on your thoughts.

     

     

    I’m with eejit on this one. I work in a landbased casino and my opinions are far from defence of casinos that’s for sure but like eejit has eloquently said if you do this you are saving lives. It’s absolutely unbelievable how much money gets laundered through casinos that ends up in terrorist organisations hands. Its far easier to verify identity in landbased casinos as you are there holding the passport but online it’s completely different. It does seem ludicrous but as someone in the inside it’s very reasonable and as eejit is basically online based he is going to know the laws far more thoroughly than me. I am a huge fan of you and if you look at my posts, they will defend you when you are clearly in the right but this time you aren’t. If casumo had a office a 5 minute drive from your home and they asked you to go to it with your passport you would be slightly annoyed but it would be no issue. Now imagine that same office is a 300mile journey away. If they gave you the choice to go to the office or send a “selfie” you would send the selfie, and now imagine it’s a 6 hour flight to said office, how disrespecting would it be for them to give you that choice, that’s why the best option is a “selfie”.

    And yet neither you or eejit give an explanation as to why this is not required when signing up to a casino.   Are you saying that everyone is a potential terrorist but the casino’s are willing to accept their money without any formal ID, but are require it on cash outs.

    Sorry, I have said it before and I will continue to say it.  You can’t say we will accept your money and take it within seconds without any verification, but we require it if you withdraw and it could take up to 72 hours to pay you back.

    Anyone who is actually desperate enough to stand there taking pictures of themselves with the photo held up as proof and send them in to random offshore sites purely so they can gamble is clearly desperate and needs to reconsider their life choices.

    Totally with you, they should do it when you sign up. The reason they don’t is because the government set up laws and guidelines for monetary values. So for landbased casinos if someone spends £5k in cash they HAVE to provide ID and if someone over time buys in for £20k they must do further checks to ascertain where the money is coming from. I would say 95% of people who sign up to online casinos spend £100-200 a month at the highest. Is that going to fund terrorism? No of course not. So why disrupt and annoy the majority of players who aren’t going to get anywhere near the figures that the UK government have set. The only way it will change is if the government make it mandatory for more restrictions for online casinos or all online casinos to band together and say we will ask for “selfies” from every single customer who signs up. Its not really viable is it? Google aspers stratford. They have just been fined huge amounts of money for not doing appropriate checks on a player who was fraudulently stealing money and losing it in their casino. Bandit doesn’t finance casumo so if they lose his business that’s better than breaking laws and being fines millions with the potential to lose their licence and in turn business. I can totally see from your point of view but if it’s even slightly reasonable for casinos to ask for “selfies” then there should be no complaints. Nobody can say given bandits level of activity that it isn’t reasonable to know who he really is.

    Maybe I’m acting dumb here but how do terrorists launder money though a casino?? Are loads of ppl depositing have 1 spin on say roulette the withdrawing. Thus saying all money was won legally. But then how do there show where the deposit money came from.?!

    Or is it casinos that a dodgy pretending more money has been bet and lost ?. Ie a casino Ower gets a million from a arms deal then puts it into the company as money lost by random unchecked players  ?

    Because in the old days a pub slot could be loaded with dodgy money and the owner could say its ppl in pubs filling it up, where really its his own drug money being cleaned.

    I just don’t get how mass money can go threw when there is so many checks already.

    Think this might of made more sense in my head ?

    The whole point to Launder money is to make dirty money clean. I’m not saying it’s just terrorist money it’s also proceeds of crime like drugs, stolen goods etc. The way they do it is by making multiple deposits and withdrawals and deposits etc. The paper trail gets so long it can be hard to find out where the original money came from. So now imagine bandits paper trail on casumo alone. To answer your specific question about terrorism. A terrorist group may need to purchase legal items but to do so they need legal money. One way to do this is to have many people over many online sites gambling. What will happen is they will lose a percentage of their money invested but at the end of it they have a decent amount of legal money. It’s far harder to do it in landbased casinos which is why if any terrorists are going to do it they would do it online. Now I’m not saying it’s a huge problem in the UK but the government have made laws so it stays that way which in turn means businesses must follow these laws. Nobody should be annoyed at casinos for wanting so much information they are simply following the law.

    The real reason they dont do it on sign up is partly because they would lose too much business as a lot of players when they sign up just want to get straight in to playing slots and not having to wait 24/48/72 hours to be approved so it could be said it benifits the player in the short run doing it this way too otherwise you would just find a lot of players signing up on another site that allows you to play straight off the bat. That won’t be a problem soon as new laws will force it on all casinos in a few months.

    It is slightly annoying and does seem a bit far to have to take a selfie but I will say that Casumo verified me in less than an hour after I submitted my selfie which actually brought up my laptop camera and prompted me to take one, bit shocked at the time but its faster to just do it than moan about it.

    Not if they all do it…then there is no problems. It’s obvious they are doing when someone wins a lot of money and they are making it hard for them to withdrawal.

    Hi Bandit

    Sorry to just be picking this up now, been off work for the Mrs Birthday, I guessed I would be walking into this on my return to after watching your latest ReelKing exploits and hearing your comments at the end.

    The selfie ID is not a legal requirement at all, it is an extra level of security that we implemented a while ago to help in our prevention against underage play, fraud and financial crimes and is working very well as a deterrent.

    Yes, we know you are who you say you are Bandit and I believe that if you sent in photos of the fat man off ReelKing as your selfie you would probably get passed on it! But, I am afraid that once again it is the few that spoil it for the many. We have to be very careful when it comes to things to do with underage gambling, fraudulent accounts, money laundering and the use of fake documents, with the simple introduction of the selfie ID it has eliminated the problem almost entirely.

    We can not discriminate or cheery pick the players that we request if from as that would not work so the easiest thing was to make it an across the board requirement on all accounts, just like KYC is now.

    I am sorry but I have no magic power to wave you passed the process and it is somthing that they do require on your account.

    If you do have any issues uploading any documents to your account at any point, now or in the future, you can send them to [email protected] and I will be able to do it for you

    I was once asked the very same by Ch-5’s Supercasino

    I jumped through many other hoops too

    Stopped playing with them a very long time ago

    Never any ID required to upload and zero questions are EVER asked when one is losing, that road is always hassle free and silky smooth

    It should be requested at the very start, like before ANY funds can be uploaded

    Just a thought

    Some pretty impressive security they have there.  We know who you are, but we have you make sure you are who we know you are.  If you send in a picture of a Dog doing a dump in the street you would be probably be cleared.    However this picture of a squatting dog will be on huge assistance in preventing fraud 🙂

    Interestingly enough I just managed to go through the whole registration process at Casumo, up to the point of depositing money.  At no point did it mention any legal requirements, selfie pictures, ID etc, just took me straight through to the “please deposit money” screen.

    Doesn’t seem to be much underage play prevention, fraud or financial crimes protection when depositing.  I guess it’s just when they have to hand money back, at that point the concerns kick in 🙂
