- It is completely normal for an Online Casino to ask gamblers to verify their identity.
- Online Casino Verification requirements often include providing personal information such as date of birth, form of ID, address, or other proof of identity.
- Gambling sites will also ask for financial information regarding banking cards.
Personal Information
So, what will you be asked to provide in order to verify your Online Casino account? It is completely normal to be asked for your full address and a working telephone number. Your date of birth is also a must so they can make sure you are over the required gambling age of 18. In some cases where online gambling is newly legal or regulated, you may be required to speak to someone on the telephone before you can deposit. This is so Online Casinos can secure themselves against identity theft and make sure you are who you say you are.
Financial Information
In a lot of cases, you will not be asked to verify your identity as soon as you register, but when you make your first deposit. As a rule of thumb, you will be asked the same sort of questions as you would in order to open a bank account, including having to supply documentation such as your passport, driving license and photocopies of the front and back of your credit or debit card. There may also be a need to show a copy of a utility bill in your name.
If you are asked for proof of your credit or debit card, online casinos will just want to see your name on the card and the first and last 4 digits of the card number. You should block out the middle digits and your CVV2 code.
