Maxd asked me to comment or help but it seems like the issue is solved.
Just a note to everyone it is rare when Rival or a Rival casino would ask for notarized ID. In 2 years I have maybe seen this request a total of 3 times and it is not a new policy that everyone should be worried about. I don't like to talk specific details about an account or the reasons why but it is usually when something just doesn't add up on our end.

Doesn't seem that "rare" to me
Having a doctor certify the ID (or copy of it) will do you no good at all. How the hell would you know who his doctor really is
He could get a friend to sign it, and put the address of a known doctor's surgery on it, and if you try to check, you will just be told "sorry, cannot say anything - patient/doctor confidentiality".
Having him photographed holding the ID, well, actually this is a damn good idea, even if a little strange. It is better than the run of notarised and certified copies, as you "certify" it yourself from the photo, just as a lawyer (or doctor) would in person.
Now comes the hard question:-
Oh man,
now I got a PM fron their REP here.
He told me, I have to make a photo of myself, where I hold my own ID card.
I NEVER had this before. I will do it, but this is strange !!
Also, I am told I am now "bonus banned" at all Rivals. Because the way I play the Slots. OMG, I lost so big the last weeks, and now had a big hit (600$) and cashed out, wow...
And, sorry, but they really bombed me with 100% bonus offers the last weeks (there was kind of promo), I just took them (and lost nearly all of them completely).
SLOTS! What are your lot smokin'
I understood the Rival slots were RANDOM, despite all the rumour contradicting this.
If you can play slots in a manner that is worthy of a BONUS BAN, then they are not properly random are they? Normally, a big win on slots is simply down to good luck, no "advantage play" whatsoever, so no need to "bonus ban" players simply for being short term lucky, as in the long term it will all be given back, and then some more.
It seems clearer and clearer that Rival blanket ban players (from bonuses) purely for having a decent win, nothing to do with "advantage play". Even as little as a $600 win is enough for a bonus ban not just at the one casino, but the whole damn lot
Rival seem intent on running their reputation into the ground, what good is it when the loudest message going out is that if you dare to win, even on slots (a game of pure chance, no strategy), you will be branded an "undesirable". The whole point of running a casino is to give the illusion that a player can win a fortune, and let the lucky few that do advertise the fact.
