Hi,

just opened a new acc at Samvo and I am just amazed by their verification process!
They refuse to accept a bank account statement as proof of address because I don't have any utility bill nor passport, just national ID with registered address printed on it!!
Never heard that a bank statment is not proof of address...or they hate people from Eastern Europe, so if you are from this part of the world just avoid Samvo as they have a bitter attitude!

99.9% of the threads with complaints I see on SBR are

[x] obscure Euro sites hating on suspected Euro sharps
[x] obscure Euro sites hating on suspected Euro syndicate henchmen
[x] obscure Euro sites hating on suspected Euro bonus whores
[ ] something else

It's very common, OP, that a utility bill other than a bank statement is requested. As you *could* get an international passport if you so chose, I'm not sure why this has anything to do with "discrimination." Their requirement applies regardless of nationality, and last time I checked, there was nowhere in Europe with a government so unstable that it would be impossible to get a passport.

[noutility]

so I should get a passport just to be 'allowed' to bet at Samvo and get a 30 euro free bet !?!?!?!?
you must be kidding...who the f--- is Samvo? a bunch of incompetent people...there are plenty of good bookies around, I just didn't know they are so cheap, no threads about them, seems they needed some.

[noutility]

and i doubt it a lot that people in UK for instance are required to send ID + passport + utility bill to acess full Samvo.

[AimingHigh]

Noutility, I'm in the UK and would assume the same rules apply to me. Your implication about the higher % of scammers being from Eastern European countries is likely right, however. You just have to look at the number that come here complaining that they can't receive any post at all to their address when a book like Bet365 has sent out a verification letter. See, for example, http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/sportsbook...countries.html

Samvo got sick of the eastern european hordes abusing their offer imo

[Hareeba!]

never heard of Samvo
what's their attraction?
not mentioned in SBR reviews
why would you trust them?
why would you have a problem in providing a utility bill - don't you have a phone or ISP?

[noutility]

i heard they have good odds but i wouldn't put up with all this shit for little more at odds, if only i knew...
and if they are sick of EEuropeans just remove the 'unbelievable' 30 euro free bet for us. I don't even want it after all this, i requested my account closed and deposit sent back. will stick with Pinnacle, Lad, VC, etc.

Try SBO, 188bet , Dafabet if u want a asian book like samvo

[austin]

samvo is licensed by alderney,
they are similar to other asian hp specialists (like sbo or 12b)
they have high limits (higher than 12b anyway)
quick payouts too
i never had an issue with them

ID card and bank statement always worked for me (including Samvo).
This year I opened an account in a poker site and same as you: it's not enough,
send us utility bill.
Might be a new policy.

Maybe this is the point.
Done the verification without any problem and fast ( National id card and phone bill )

[noutility]

well after I also sent print-screen of MB registered address and card/bank acc, my 'case' was forwarded to the verification team manager and Samvo came to its senses and 'approved' my documents...
unfortunatelly it was a very bad experience, no more Asian bookies for me, so much fuss for a 35 euro deposit!!
I also read here on forum that 188bet blocks accounts if you don't send documents in 48 hours or something...these Chinese are just too demanding...f---'em all

good grief!

I had no problems with the verificating by sending ID card and bank statement. But I don't like their website. Automatic logout after about half an hour. The website is not as clearly designed as SBOBET is.

[lukahh]

is samvo reliable? why would i add it if i'm already happy with sbo and 188?

[leon]

I am European,i registered and imediately sent what they asked me,before to deposit.They don t accept my documents.I think that they could announce us they dont accept europeans

[zebras99]

Had no problems with them. Registered a week ago and received the free bet. Odds are ok, but I'd rather stick to pinny and asians since they have even better odds.

I am European, so that's not the problem. When they wouldn't accept Europeans then they wouldn't give you the option to choose Europaen countries as your residence in the sign up form.

[nenad]

samvo is pain in the ass after you made succesfull shiting

[althelegend]

They may be particular when it comes to i.d. - but samvo is a top quality book. Would be 'A' rated on here.

[Ruifgalmeida]

normaly when I deposit via neteller or moneybookers no ID is needed.

[noutility]

if they want to be great they should apply same rules for all customers, not biased ones!! That's definitely not an A bookie! I'll pass Samvo!

[noutility]

By the way, was anyone here asked to 'update' his verification!?!?! Maybe they want some pics from holidays or something, unbelievable!

I would like to advise you that in accordance with our Terms and Conditions, Samvo reserves the right to request updated documents from yourself in the future to ensure that your account verification is kept up to date.

Also, they said they need 'proof of address' and the bank statement will not do but this:

we will accept a copy of your current national ID with your face alongside the image of your actual face.

My face is proof of address...racist MF's

[zebras99]

Just my my first cashout to Neteller. The payout was made within a few hours. No problems with this bookie.
