With Neteller, there is no risk of charge backs or stolen credit cards. With credit cards, expect identity verification as the norm, almost alway on withdrawal. If you never withdraw anything, there won't be any identity check whatsoever at most sites.

Who cares if the card is stolen? I was requesting a payment from the poker account back to the CARDHOLDER themselves, at their home address. Can ANYONE explain to me how a stolen credit card could be used to obtain cash for the thief in this manner? There should be no need for a security check in this case. Besides that, if they were REALLY concerned about stolen credit cards, they would do the damn check when I put the money on the site in the first place and used it to gamble with, NOT when I tried to withdraw it back to the cardholder's name and address. This policy still makes no sense to me, and the only answer I have ever gotten from anyone in terms of detailed explanations is "well, it's their policy so deal with it". Which of course is what I am doing, i.e. never using a credit card like that again and certainly never playing at Absolute.

Sites do not have endless time to do security checks. There are more deposits than withdrawals (multiple fish lose there deposits to a shark who takes it out at one time). It is just more practical to do the security check at withdrawal.
