Re: Beware of Absolute Poker

trader01,
this post is well and good but you're not convincing anyone here, because frankly, a good chunk of us would rather fax in 6 forms of ID before every cashout and the rest don't give a damn.
also, it's hysterical that people trust a poker site with all of their personal and financial information and link bank accounts/credit cards to it, but then always balk when it comes to their SSN or (omg no) their credit card that they already gave the site once in the first place.

Any deposit with a credit card will inevitably require an ID check at withdrawal. However, any player sending their SSN number to a foreign site might be asking for trouble. Scans of driver's licenses, OKAY. Scans of banks statements or utility bills, OKAY. Never send your SSN number to any gambling site. Ever. Identity thieves prize the SSN number the most. If the site's got bad security or bad employees, your f***ed. You can cancel a credit card. You can't cancel your SSN. There is absolutely no reason for any gambling site to ask for your SSN. Ever.
