Bookmakers must verify customer before they bet online

[steveh35]

Bookmakers will require all customers to verify their identity before they can gamble online under new rules being brought in in May.

Information provided must also be constantly updated and also the changes will mean that operators cannot demand that customers submit ID as a condition of cashing out if they could have asked for that information earlier.

How is any of this revolutionary? The UKGC finally realizing that bookies paying 14-year old Timmy is a bad thing

Should all be standard and routine

I thought little Timmy was stuck down the well?! Must have a good network.

Hopefully the sites will adopt quick processes. There are verification companies like Digidentity that I had to use. You upload your docs to them and now I can be verified in minutes by them if a company is set up with them, not sure I like my info being banded about online but what choice have we got nowadays. Maybe the casinos will start using similar products.

A welcome move. No more verify on withdrawal bollocks any more.

Liking it.
