Yes this is true.

The name he gave me to send ** was: Isaias E Juarez Banfield in Panama City, Panama.

I told live chat operator Lars and he told me that he was informing management about the issue.

That's weird I sent ** to a guy named Isaias for 5k this morning to fund my BetOnline account bc of a huge reload bonus offer they called me about, I hope its not the same guy, prolly just a coincidence

So what do these GREAT books ask from you to verify your identity? Your birthday? SS# LOL those are easily attainable. Password is not and the CS agent already knows it. What "Great" books u talking about???? I know that Jamica, 5dimes, BOL always ask me for that when doing live chat.....AND i AM VERY GLAD THEY DO!!!!!

in a similar way as you bank would confirm your identity
I bet you've never been asked for your online password when contacting them?
eg. a separate telephone password; secret question; personal data etc

I would never disclose my online password and would rather close my account at any book which required me to do so

this would be very simple solution to serious potential threat.

No, it wouldn't. None of their traffic is encrypted using SSL (http vs https), so with no other measures you risk losing your identity every single time you log on. If you don't have a properly secured wireless connection, neighbors could sniff out your account and password. Use it in a public wi-fi setting, consider it stolen. Dorms, apartment complex with shared networks, etc.

With ssl being so simple to implement, it's a telling sign of how little all sportsbooks seem to care about about security.
