Excuse me but didn't you have to provide some ID to get that debit card?

There is no protection for the casino or the player, only another hurdle placed in front of players by an industry that is already filled with too many. I say again, if I am an identity thieve and have ID in someone elses name, the casino would not have a clue.
They do have protection in place, perhaps that is why they are asking for the documents in the first place.

ASK WHEN I SIGN UP and the issue is moot.
They do warn you and why should they get everyone's documents when it's highly likely that the majority of players will never cash out?
Seems kind of underhanded to take money with no questions asked, then go gestapo on you when you win and want some back.
Oh come on........it's not a common practice, now is it?

This conversation is as pointless now as in past threads. Besides, the casinos have the nuclear option (i.e., the big FU clause that their decision is final) Come on regulation, then I will feel a whole lot better about this issue.

If you feel that strongly about it why do you play, assuming you do? Oh and doesn't almost every company that you do business with has a FU clause as you call it?
Agreed........regulation is needed, but even if there is some worldwide licensing agency there are still going to be rouges and players who choose to play at them, IMO. And if the conversation is pointless why are you participating??
