It varies quite a bit from one casino to the next. Some casinos require all new players to send ID documents before making a withdrawal. Others only require it only for certain players, such as players with suspicious account info or players who had a big win.

you're welcome. i checked, it's lifelock. i didn't look into it any further, it's directed to you 'marican's and i haven't the wealth to require to insure. my credit limit's half a grand and usually partially spent on gambling (awaiting withdrawals hopefully), and i don't know how you could get my other bank account info unless you had access to my bank accounts, so i should be safe enough and not worth ripping off in the first place.

am i too gullible? it's the canadian way, especially when i'm young as i am and yet to have ever been fleeced, barring the almost time with y'all know who, and my dad who i lent 1500 for investments and he owes me back. he's getting a contract wrt repayment for christmas, plus some token sweets.

aloha, it's poor weather and started snowing in my area some nights grrrr...

I ended up sending them my documents (Driver's license, credit card and satellite tv bill) and got confirmation that they received it almost immediately (which I thought was good).

Then, the NEXT day, I get another email telling me they confirmed my withdrawl and that I'd have to fill out another form, since different credit cards were used. Attached was a Word document with a different person's name as the title ("johndoe.doc", but it was a person's real name). The document listed about 15 different transactions, with complete credit card numbers, but had my name and address at the top!! Needless to say, I got really nervous. I emailed them back and tried to explain that it was incorrect, and the rep kept telling me that since I used a different card I have to send that in. Finally I resent him the Word doc and said I made NONE of the deposits. He wrote me back and apologized; saying a mistake was made. I asked him how often do you send players other players' credit card numbers, but he didn't respond....

Then, a couple of days later, they wrote me back and said that my satellite bill wouldn't confirm and I need to send another utility bill. I flat out told them no; my credit card, license and the address on the bill match up, that should be enough. A different rep wrote back and said it was confirmed and I'm all set. Two days later I had my check.

In my opinion, Crown Vegas should definitely be played with caution. Luckily it seemed to have worked out for me (I'm keeping a VERY close watch on my cc!!!), hopefully it will for everyone out there and they just had some mistakes made in my case.....

I doubt I'll be playing with them again, though.
