Run It Once poker-What a cheek!

[Colbefc]

I have an account with Run It Once poker, I opened it to get a $100 credit towards HM2.

Just had an email of them asking me to verify my account which is fine.

Then they say I have to verify my source of wealth to give them an idea how I accumulated
the funds I have deposited in my account????????

This is big brother gone mad. I emailed them telling them to close my account immediately as there is no chance I will do that.

Reading further on it also says "please note that some time in the future you might need to supply documentation to prove your source of income.

Imagine going in a store to but a TV and the assistant asks you where you got the money from to buy it.....

If every site starts doing this it will be the end of my online poker, no way am I ever going to do this.

I am 67, retired, never been in trouble, have no Police record and have never had more than $50 in this account, some money launderer I would make.

I am glad I am not young these days, the world has gone mad.

The world has gone mad and I feel the same, I would not want to be growing up in this time. It gets harder and harder to deposit funds. They have all kinds of people who deposit thousands and they focus on us little guys who throw a few bucks in every month.

Thank God, everything is not as complicated with us as it is with you. Somehow I won an amount of more than 3K dollars at party poker and transferred them in parts to the bank card without any problems. We have a law on taxes on winnings and, in general, tax on profits of any category. I did not withdraw money directly from the poker site. But I was still afraid that the bank would file my income with the tax office. Thank God the bank pays attention to larger amounts.

Alright, enough smoke & mirrors, FESS UP where you got your ill-gotten gains already Colbefc! :laugh:

Affordability checks are an initiative to try and combat problem gamblers, I don't think it's anything to do with money laundering or whether your income is/was legitimate, my understanding is that it's purely to verify customers are able to afford the possible losses of their wagers.

More of a 'nanny state' issue than anything...

I find that when sites ask for verification documents it doesn't matter what you do they will always find fault with something and ask you to resend. Their employees I think might be told to do this when you are withdrawing.

You are definitely right about "Big Brother" growing bigger and bigger. The reason for this caution is Anti Money Laundering. casinos have always been places for criminals to launder money.

That is so strange unless you deposited like 50,000 $
