Funny,
Was discussing this the other day in another thread saying I never got a SoW request before from any casino.
Played at Betat last weekend and made a WD which was processed as normal.
Had not played there in a while and decided to give them another go.
Day of WD I got an e-mail from one of their VIP guys adding 20 quid with no WR to my account.
I was thinking, wow nice to be back here.
Made a WD and some profit and still get a 20 Euro free chip.
However later that day I got below e-mail.
I always said, any casino that wants to nose into my private financial situation will find a request to close my account right away which I have done so.
Sent them an e-mail and requested immediate account closure and also removal from any mailinglist I am on with them.
No one has the right to see how much I earn and what I spend my money on and what bills I pay.
If you are looking to ban money laundering and criminal money being put in the casino system then look at people that deposit 25 grand a day and make 50 Euro bets.
I don't think my usual 50-100 Euro deposits and 1-2 Euro bets qualify.
It is an utter bullsh*t rule and I hope not more casinos will follow, otherwise my online gambling days will be over at some stage.

Hi Mark,
My name is Lana from the Verification team here at BETAT Casino.
As a betting operator licenced and regulated by the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), we have a licencing obligation to know that the source of the funds that customers use to play with us is legitimate. Therefore, at times when certain limits and thresholds are reached it may become necessary for us to ask customers to provide evidence to confirm the source(s) of funds they use.
We do appreciate this may be the first time you have been asked this question, but it is a clear licencing requirement from the MGA and part of EU legislation. BETAT is not alone in seeking this type of information from customers, and it is likely that other betting operators will also request this information from you when your spend/play reaches equivalent levels.
What we would require in this regard is the following:
• A statement noting your primary source of income - ex: Salary / Investments / Inheritance / Savings / etc
• Documentation evidencing your stated Source of Funds from which Casino deposits stem – ex: Bank account showing incoming salary credits / Dividends from investments crediting your bank account / Transfer of inheritance funds / etc
I thank you in advance for your co-operation and do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions.
Regards,
Lana
BETAT Verification team
