Beware of Absolute Poker

[mntbikr15]

So you say your underage huh?

Absolute's t&c clearly state that they reserve the right to verify your identity. STFU, get over it, send in your info, and let's move on.

No, I'm not kidding you.

Deposit dirtly money, withdraw clean money.

There you go, that was hard.

The only reason that wasn't hard was because you didn't explain anything. Please read my original post and explain how my actions could consitute money laundering. IN DETAIL. Money goes off a credit card, money comes back on the same credit card. Please explain how money laundering could be a part of that action.

So why don't you actually show me your brilliance and explain that whole money laundering thing to me, in detail, like I have requested about 100 times in this thread already...

You will never get your cashout refunded to your credit card if you live in the U S. So, they just want proof of who you are. It is only a one time deal. Get over it.

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.

read the terms. cashouts back to credit card are not allowed. AP is doing you a special favour here.

[poorolrich]

Because, if you can credit a withdrawal back to your C C then it would be clean money. You can put dirty money on a C C and no, I will not explain how.

I have played at a number of other sites and never had these types of problems, or encountered such evasive answers from customer service when asking for a simple explanation of their policies and procedures. In short - if you don't already have an account at Absolute, I would be careful about opening one!

Don't know what it is with all the sarcastic answers all the time on 2+2. Anyways, I'll explain. If you deposit by credit card, every gambling site will ask for identification verication. Doesn't matter if you ask for the withdrawal to be put back on to the card or if you ask for a bank draft to be sent to the address and name on the card. Yeah, I know it doesn't seem to make sense. But the answer is simple.

Standard procedure. For the sites, better safe than sorry.

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.
