You're making stuff up again.
no one is making any think up, were spiting feathers here, its ok for casino to take cash? and bar accound or no pay out, as in this thread weather man said, U.K I..D is easily can be fraud now days, seems to me they take cash and not pay out, as also this thread said, alot of people have got no photo I.D, but seems like this is what all the casino wants now days, I can get a fake pass port or drivers, and it be regestard,
I spoke to alot of of help on casino sites and n heret hick as two short palnks, not a clue whats going on,, I Doctord my details when they ask for I.D, Not that I try scaming any 1 as I am how I say I am, but its just another way for these rouges to keep your cash,
This actually illustrates my point. ALL ID can be faked, so even if only 10 players are affected, it is an unneccessary "jobsworth" attitude for a company to take. It also shows that casinos are putting too much faith in their belief that photo ID is somehow more reliable than the documents that have been used in the UK for decades.
You essentially attempted to pass off a fake ID, but because it was a photo ID, you slipped under the radar. Had they been using the usual sets of documents, but dealing with things remotely by image transfer, they would be looking harder for anything that looked "iffy", and may well have caught you out.
The UK is unique in that for some people, getting FAKE ID with a photo is much easier than getting the genuine article. One might, for example, suffer from Diabetes, and there is NO WAY to get a drivers license except by going to the fakers, which some do just to be able to get into pubs and clubs, buy alcohol, etc. Often though, they just lie to DVLA, which is pretty easy to get away with as they don't automatically check medical records.
The fact that few players stumble into this issue does not mean there is no problem, it means that the private car is so popular that a very large proportion of the population want one, and so a large proportion of the population will end up with a driving license. There may be many more players who don't trip up because they have encountered this issue before, perhaps as underage teens trying to get into 18+ venues or buying 18+ goods. Introduction to the fake photo ID scene comes at an early age, and there are organised criminal networks prepared to feed the demand.
The UK government only sees this as an issue with the under 25s, as once older, you are accepted as old enough simply by looking at you, thus no more need for a photo ID, even for getting into betting shops and casinos. The problem for the over 25s is unique to online gambling, which itself has only been recognised in UK law since 2005.
Before an offhand dismissal of "this is not a problem", there needs to be a proper survey to determine the level of hidden problems that have somehow been coped with, not the headline dozen or so players affected.
So, by their own admission, Diabetes is not much of a problem for their UK players, even though a side effect of the condition is the loss of an acceptable form of ID for casinos, and would mean that post diagnosis, players would face having to give up online gambling or face the risk that they might not manage to get paid after a decent win.
Despite all the hardships suffered by the regular players over these issues, it seems that online fraud against the casinos has increased to epidemic proportions, and is easily sidestepping the tightenings seen in procedures.
The problem of player fraud seems small also, about the same number busted here per year as the number of UK players than can't produce enough ID. However, when the shoe is on the other foot, we are told that what appears to be a small problem is actually a very LARGE one, and growing fast, all down to the "hidden" cases.
So, who should UK players lobby, the industry or the government, when they encounter this issue themselves?
