Photo ID - Casinomeister's Online Casino and Poker Forum

I was reading a post from VWM (in the purple lounge deposit method thread) about verification procedures that request photo ID.
Why do some online Casinos want photo ID when they will never know what you look like or ever see your face?
I don't get it

As for me I think they have no need to see your face - they want to see information from your ID (First-Last name, personal #, etc).

They are covering their backsides for money laundering regulations. Occasionally it also catches the less competent fraudsters.

They request your photo ID to avoid bonus hunters.

How would they know? If said teenager had access to their parents credit cards, they would certainly have access to their drivers license/photo ID.

They don't do it to players outside of Manchester. It's just so they can all have a good laugh in the office
