Verification process Australian & New Zealand bookmakers

[vivanorge]

Anyone with experience regarding verification of new accounts on bookmakers from Australia and New Zealand.

No problem sending passport, driving licence, CC, utility bill. But are there some that required certificated documents?

At least IASBET required certificated documents and are very strict and should have everything in their way.

Sportsbet.com.au (siter of IASBET) was no problem. I guess that they share information.

But what about others bookmakers....

I think you will find every Australian book will have strict ID requirements. They all have the 100pt ID system, and ALL require certified documents.

[vivanorge]

Ok. "Rumor on the street" are more mixed.
Some required certified copies everytime. Some now and then. And some dont required certified copies.

Look for example at:

https://www.sportsbetting.com.au/public/hundredpoints.asp

Appears that you dont need certified copies.

[Hareeba!]

Precise requirements differ from book to book depending on which State or Territory they are licenced by.

Non-residents will generally find it more difficult.

Sportsbetting.com.au works fine without certificated documents.

The Aussie books also demand that your passport be translated to English, and notarized. This is a big pain for Russian customers (and other East-European customers).

[durito]

Poor russians. I'm sure no one in russia can translate a document to english.

In this information there's nothing about certification!!!
Only if you have to use australian birth certificate or an Australian citizenship certificate.

At least it works for me and the account looks good for me. Deposit AUD500 and received and AUD100 bonus. Wagering AUD 1000 and no minimum odds (not sure about the minimum odds).

What documents did you submit to make 100 pts?
Have you held your account for 90 days yet?
Have you made a withdrawal?

[vivanorge]

Yes, you never know about bookmakers. Thay may recuried further documentation.
But i get this message: "We have received your 100 points of Identification and have activated your account for withdrawals"

Sending passport (70 pts.) + Utility bill (25 pts.) + CC (25 pts.) (debetcard) with picture (front+back and with note over last 4 digits and security number).

well done, you found the easy way through it there
not sure it's quite that simple at the other NT books as I was required to submit certification at the last new account I opened in that jurisdiction
where are you located?

[Gallin]

Sportsbetting.com.au works fine without certificated documents.

I can confirm this. I just opened an accout and sent passport, driver's license and utlity bill and my account is now verified.

Didn't get very good first imperssion with them however... tried to bet 500€ on bundesliga match but my bet was rejected...

EDIT: they even rejected 100€ bet on Seria A match What kind of joke book is this?

[brettels]

The only one I needed certified was luxbet

[Hareeba!]

The only one I needed certified was luxbet

the certification thing came in about 2 yrs ago ... before that you just needed the 100 pts

[brettels]

Didn't have to with the new bookmaker AU

They're regulated in NI not NT .. as I said before the requirements vary between States and Territories.

Norway...

Many Australian bookies are almost (or equal) to many/most UK bookies. In other word you are limited quite fast and often to very low amount. For instance IASbet and sportsbet.com.au (same limit). You also in most cases have and low starting limit.

Bookies not for the high-roller, but for the patiently one, and you may could exploit some bonuses before you are limitid.

And you newer know. If you win they may change its so you need certificated copies.

Certificated copies are difficult to get in Norway and/or expensive. Last time i end up at the police station. Not sure there are interested in certificated copies to gambling companies, so told they a lies that i need it for study abroad. But they ask me some question and i almost where caught lying.

There were no problem to get it certificated but the problem was that they have to written ""I certify that this copy is a true copy of the original document that I have sighted".

The trick is off course to make sure that your account are verified before you desposit money.

You're quite right about that. The larger Aussie books have mostly now been taken over by the UK "pretend" bookies and they've adopted the same lousy style. Really not much value any more unfortunately. The prime exception is the TAB which takes decent sized bets and have very little history of limiting. But for the most part their juice is set quite high but certainly worth having an account with as they do offer best odds for some events.

haha thank you... I was living in Trondheim when I was trying to get quite a few accounts certified

ikke bra

very very tricky (for me at least) to get them to write out these precise words that the books wanted

I was trying to say in Norwegian what they had to write in English even though I was English and the Norwegians couldn't figure out why I needed this crap

stupid

should just be ID and then certified by a legal person or whomever

not this other crap
