Interesting reading guys-interesting how the ‘laws’ and regulations change-ups always affect us more negatively than they should-I too would feel a tad off if I was asked to provide more “intimate” (for lack of a better word) documentation than the typical acceptable bank balance or screenshots statements etc esp. if it’s over a deposit/withdrawal of only a few hundred bucks after having been a regular depositor and having no prior hassles concerning the source of the monies spent or its a typical transaction pattern as per your history...
but I guess criminal activity always finds a way around it, so where’s the line got to be to determine actual suspicious behaviour? As said before-is it the 1st timer dropping 30k or a monthly $50 regular to suddenly uploading 1000s? Or a regular small depositer rarely cashing out and suddenly tries his luck on a diff game or high rolls and gets a lucky jackpot suddenly withdrawing loads more than he ever managed to put in?!?
And what would then determine if a income source is not legit, wen documents are provided, what credentials are they looking for?
Sometimes I have felt uncomfortable with the bank statement info, preferring to block out sensitive narrations that are irrelevant to them like ppls names etc So I dont really want others seeing-my finances are still my business to a degree-and you never know what the fraudsters might be able to do with whatever is written about me on a form or something if it were to be hacked and details stolen.
Another example I was thinking of also is say I came into a big sum of actual cash, from a sale or job I might of done or perhaps won it at a TAB or so on, or maybe I don’t have a debit/credit card that is enabled for online purchases right, so I buy up big on neosurf or paysafe vouchers at the shop and deposit via that method, then couldn’t that be in fact flagged as maybe suss? If no bank methods are ever used but only prepaid codes?! Its not difficuly to also open a new account online and have immediate use of it for withdrawals for those instances where a bank account must be withdrawn to such as first time etc.
Haha For all they know I could be using drug money ir stolen credit cards to buy them or something right?!? When in fact I think optional methods like that or even ewallets like skrill for e.g could actually be seen as a healthier way to play as opposed to using credit cards as someone mentioned and creating large debts that I could potentially abscond from ever paying back.
It was commented earlier a similarity between ecigs/tobacco regulatons and as an Aussie i couldnt agree more. Changes like those of late have actually made my life more difficult, restricting my freedoms to choose how I spend my money and where I play it-we have one casino per capital city here so its not like We have a huge selection to enjoy this pasttime, and to make things illegal or cease operations due to potential for online gambling is just ridiculous-skrill for example is actually preferable to me than paypal for all online purchasing activities gambling or otherwise-it is easier to use, quicker to process transfers in & out, just overall a much better platform in my opinion than shitty 3 day waits and pending bloody paypal in general. But I have to check a box telling them how i plan to spend my own hard earned funds.
As someone said landbased would be easier-in and out quick cash drops and easier than having to
Submit verification and withstand waiting periods before one could even access their potentially laundered monies. If I was a criminal as if i would want to leave a paper trail like that-online, uploads, id and ip addresses etc sheesh...for the most part i like to think we are all pretty honest guys and a big thumbs down to the big wigs in power and the dropkicks who make this all harder for the rest of us Seriously
