    I deposit through ******** but they don't withdraw back to ******** because I'm Canadian resident. They will withdraw it back to my bank account if I send them the documents.

    Just another way for books to try to steal your money.

    Yep, much easier when it comes to making a withdrawal to make deposits via these methods. Although, I do occasionally use Bank wires when dealing with larger sums of cash.

    Yes it's very common. I would advise you to not showing anything more of your credit card on the picture than they demand. Cover the CCScode and some numbers in the middle of the card.

    The more information you give a book, the easier it is for you to get ripped off. Remember that. Give a book too much information and you can become a victim of Identity Theft. Many have. Do not think for 1/10th of a second that these books actually check on the people they hire. Show your credit card and watch the unknown charges start to magically appear. When was the last time anyone was asked to show a credit card to collect a wager in Las Vegas? You guys are getting ripped off left and right.

    they need to make sure that you indeed made the transaction, if not they will lose their credit card processors

    Does anyone know if 5Dimes will need these documents for a withdrawal via Instadebit? Pinnacle never need anything for this type of withdrawal.

    unfortunately some bookies use the identity verification to make what they want with the customer.

    last month the australian Sportingbet closed my account,
    cause they wanted a passport (I sent ID card)
    and a utility bill (I sent a bank statement).

    the Northern Territory Racing and Gaming Commission
    said will investigate and will advise me of the outcome.

    10 days already,no outcome.

    don't blame the bookie!!
    they are required by the over-the-top laws in Australia to do that
    if you can't satisfy the requirements they are not permitted to pay you ... simple as that
