Ok, so, from the Rizk SOW thread @snorky510238 had posted about being able to deposit and then not play due to verification. The UKGC confirmed their position on this yesterday. Essentially it means that a customer can deposit and have the deposit held by the casino until verification is complete, which can take days! What's the fucking point! Why not just combine the rules and not allow anything to happen until verified?
In order to adhere to the new legislation operators must now verify a consumers age before they are allowed to deposit funds into an account. Operators may be able to do this by using electronic checks, such as checking credit referencing agencies and the electoral role. Consumers may not be asked for documentation to prove their age if operators can verify them this way. A consumer will be able to deposit once the operator has verified that they are over 18.
The next stage, and prior to allowing the consumer to gamble, is for the operator to verify the consumer’s identity, which means their name, date of birth and address as a minimum. Again, the operator may be able to verify these details electronically.
