I was just wondering if there are any poker sites out there besides Ultimate Bet that don't require proof of identity in order to make a withdrawal. Thanks!

pokerstars? I don't think requires proof of Identity. I don't know why this matters though. Do you plan on having multiple accounts?

I knew I would be asked that question...lol. I'm legal to play. I just don't like the idea of sending out such information to these companies.

Thanks Cheese! I've played there before, but only for fun. Since I prefer playing live as opposed to online, I've really not given online play with real cash much of a chance. I've made a few deposits on FT and UB, and the reason I liked UB is because there were no loop holes to go through in order to make a withdrawal. The only problem is, UB is somewhat lacking on table selection compared to the other major websites so I'm looking for another place to play.

Do you have any problems giving ID when you set up an online banking account, or indeed a RL bank account ?

Seriously the reason that these "companies" are looking for ID its to proove that you are who you say you are, and to stop/prevent multiple accounts/money laundering etc etc..... So in essence you should be looking to play on a pokersite that wants to see an ID rather than one that dosnt. The other route is to set your self up a neteller account (using ID) and deposit and withdraw using that.

under age brats get a life and do it the legal way.
If you 18 + or 21+ whats wrong, my guess is your hiding from a warrant...
So many morons bitch about this, whats wrong with giving your ID. It's in their TERMS............

I was pretty surprised I was never asked for ID when I took my money out of my PS account.

FT asked for it, which I like. They did lock my account one time when I emailed them about withdrawing because I had earlier set up an account (and forgotten about it). That account had never been played. Caused me some bonus money as my bonus clearing deadline passed while my account was locked.

No reason not to give your ID info to any credible business like Stars or FT. To not do so out of paranoia is a bit, well, nitty. You're far more likely to be a victim of fraud when you give a waiter/waitress your CC at a restaurant and they take it out of your sight.

BTW tenbob, NETELLER doesn't accept US customers anymore. There are other ewallet services like UseMyWallet that do, however.

And no, Stars never asked for my ID when I made my first withdrawal. FT sure did, but it was for a significant amount and I'm glad they did.

Pokerstars may not ask for it for regular accounts, however if you have more than one account in your house, they probably will. I just had to go through ID verification as my husband and I both have accounts.

My wife and I both have accounts. They didn't ask for verification. But it was a fairly small withdrawal so that may be why.

^^Lol mine was a measly $5 bucks I won from the pso last month, and I wasn't withdrawing, they wouldn't put it into my account untill I verified, they said because my name was tied to other accounts.
Good to know though....

The only ones I have not be asked is Doyles and Cake. UB and AB both asked me to send my information. I don't mind because I prefer it that way, it makes me feel a little better inside.
