This is why I have just about given up casino bonuis whoring. I try some every now and then, I tried Cherry Casino and won a few hundred and had it in 2 hours no ID, Sporting Bet and a Vegas Partner casino did the same. Also I have noticed if you grind a small win they seem to bother less.

Someone needs to come up with a list of casinos that always ask for this on small cashouts so I know where to stay away. It is just just as much as a privacy issue with me as the irritant of a 5+ day cashout.

I am sure this has crossed Largeeyes mind as well, how come poker rooms arent obsessive about ID like this? Neither are sportsbooks it seems. The only poker room ever to ask me for ID was Goldem Palace, the other 20 or so have never bothered, many of which cashed my first request out in just a few hours.

I have floated this idea over and over, Neteller (and maybe they do with the casinos) need to have some sort of category for people who either have 500+ cleared transactions or have never funded their Neteller account with their bank or credit card (only cashouts or cash). I dont guess I could charge back a Neteller transaction if I wanted too, except maybe if the casino never got it like during an upgrade a few months ago. I surely could not get away with telling Neteller weeks later "I didnt make that transaction" so why should I be hassled like this when trying to cash out $500?

IMO there is a hassle factor that I am sure makes many people reverse their cashout, we've all done it. Of course there are fraudsters, I am not disputing that. But I have a feeling these people used instacash, or credit cards, or a recent bank transfer. I cant imagine any of these walked into Bank of America with cash for their account back when this was an option, or only funded with cashouts.

Ok thats my bitch on this subject for the next 6 months. I try not to bring it out very much but this is the worst thing about playing online. At least poker rooms have not learned this annoying habit, unless they have a red flag.
