I wouldn't do that, just don't play at casinos that have a bad rep for demanding notarized docs

If anybody has a real issue with this maybe you can PAB on it.

I think my account was "flagged" because I logged in from more than one country at different times. This has indeed caused some concern at other software providers' casinos but I have never been asked for notarized documents. I am ready and gladly willing to supply any quantity of other documents that I can do with screenshots or scans from my own home and without cost. But asking for notarized docs for a $400 withdrawal? Come on! What kind of big fraud operation takes away $400 INCLUDING the original deposit!?

As you say, I just won't play at this software provider/group of casinos/regulatory authority again - EVER.

That's the beauty of all UK/EU regulated casinos - there is a solid regulatory base, unlike the various specs-in-the-ocean bodies.

A nice angle! Yes, I would not have nearly so much of a problem with it were that the case.


As far as the comments from the CM team go: where should I go from here?
I'm in the UK - is taking a colour photocopy of my driving license to a bank and getting them to stamp it enough? What exactly does notarizing documents entail?
Also, should I PAB about it, as thisisvegas keeps truculently suggesting?
