Correct me if I am wrong (and I am sure someone will

) but I think I remember having to send in ID documentation before I could make more than 1 deposit at Club World. I know that my account was locked until they got the information. Wouldn't that be the same thing as requesting ID at the beginning of play? Didn't bother me any at the time but I am kinda naive about things like that.
We can bat this around all we want but it all boils down to this, unless and until things change, we have to do whatever the casinos want if we want to continue to play there. Everyone has the option to play whereever they want (except US) and in doing so, have to abide by the rules.
Sucks but true.
