      Greek is related to BJ, i have been a member at Greek for 8 years and have done alot of withdraws without ever being asked for a copy of my ID, then about a month ago they said they needed a copy of my ID to process another withdraw. I scanned it and emailed to them, and all was good no big deal, was paid in 24 hours.

                Ive gotten three fed ex checks in the last 2 months from them, and havent been asked for any ID. Ive been playing there years, and have never had any problems. I will be requesting a check next Monday and dont anticipate any problems this time either.

                later

                  Thanks Capitalist. I did not know this. I probably will be asking for a withdrawal after the NFL season is over. I hope I have the same experience you have had.

                          CS is terrible....phone number is always busy

                          they posted personal info of a account holder a while back

                          the ID shit is just a hoop to jump through so they can slow pay with hopes youu'll bet it back

                          no way is this book a A+....Bookmaker never pulls this shit with me when I want my money

                            Now if anyone want to rebutt story including BetJamaica....speak now as I have had nothing but good thing thing to say in their favor in past posts

                            FACT: My original deposit was not through a Credit Card-I have taken numerous withdraws from them in the past.....CS stated this is a change in their policy.

                                Refused me my first deposit bonus, wouldn't give a reason. Scumbags, false advertising. I provided all documents required and they still wouldn't give a reason. If you're playing with them for their bonus (no other reason to bet there really..) then don't bother.

                                        I've never been asked for id, but it's been quite awhile since I withdrew any funds from betjm.......Kind of silly, but my biggest complaint with betjm is how they sign their email (Bet Jamaica Customer Service or Customer Service). What's wrong with signing your name, even if it's a fake one, like every other shop does? I like to know who I'm talking to. After being with a book a long time you get to know the cs people and learn what to expect from each and every one of them.

                                            YES. All these book require a TON of personal info. It's scary but US players really don't have too many other options. And this is not a new policy. I started with BetJam at least 3 years ago and got that same exact message before first withdraw. Why are you so upset??

                                              Just called and requested a withdrawal,as usual the response was"how much and where do you want it sent",thank you sir,that will go out today.I have never given them ID of any sort so the ones having a problem should call CS and straighten it out.Of all these outfits I've dealt with,BetJam has been top notch on every transaction.

                                                  Solet me understand this. You guys wo wager with off shore books have discovered that many of them, including the highest rated books, now require I.D. before funds will be sent to you. Is that basically correct? That would lead one to wonder why they all of a sudden need to see I.D. Gentlemen, this is what is called a "Red Flag". All it takes is one print out to the IRS and you guys can be in deep water. Do you really think they are doing this to protect you, or are they doing this because they made a deal with the U.S. Government to provide information on the winners if they can stay in business in the U.S?

                                                      So you are upset because they want to make sure they are sending your money to right person? Yeah, I can see how upsetting that is

And this is not a new policy. I started with BetJam at least 3 years ago and got that same exact message before first withdraw. Why are you so upset??

                                                          Called yesterday,check here today,wished they could work a little faster.

                                                                Scares me

                                                                I'm a total newbie at the offshore books . After doing a ton of research, I decided to go with BJ because it seemed they didn't have the withdrawal problems that some other books had. So I go to withdrawal a partial amount, and this is what they send me after the 3rd request . Besides this, .. they also want me to send a copy of a utility bill ????????? I want my money .....but damn....this scares the hell outta me......any comments ?

                                                                Please read this IMPORTANT message:

Then and only then do they make you jump through hoops, hoping you deposited with someone else's card or don't have the proper ID, which lets them off the hook.
