I couldn't agree more VWM

Imagine something like this going down at your local bricks and mortar casino.

IMHO until online casinos (exceptions are 32red and so on) actually look at the BIG picture and realise that the more BS they create, the less likely we're going to see online casinos accepted and regulated.

These stupid security checks are doing nothing for popularity & may just be making things a damn side harder for all concerned when going down the regulation path.

Edit: I can understand casinos being paranoid about a new sign-up that uses a credit card for instance. But if a player is using Neteller, Moneybookers, Click2Pay or one of those types that checks the account holders ID and credentials, I don't see why the online casinos always draw another issue from that. That IMHO is just stupid!
