For sure it will do you think a relative is going to give their Id without asking some questions. I dont think so.

They don't need to do it with everybody. What's the problem with doing it with the people who are playing from the same computer/IP address?

Pacific does this, To my surprice I had to send in copies of passport and creditcard when trying to cash out a 500$ winning

They only refunded my original 100$ deposit and withheld the rest until I sent in the papers
