Some poker rooms believe that because you are their customer they have the right to put you through the wringer when you try to cash-out.

They call this abuse 'protecting your interest'.

It is obviously in your interest to be denied your money for an extended period of time.


It is obviously in your interest that you send all your personal and financial information in an unsecure fashion over the internet to anonymous virtual company.

You can rely on internet poker rooms to look after your interests. You may have noticed that you can deposit, and lose, thousands of dollars each week with only credit card details. None of this other personal identification is necessary until you first cash out. This is another example of internet poker rooms looking after your interests not their own.

Some posters appear to relish the fact that internet casinos apply a fort knox approach to your withdrawls and a lassie-faire attitude to deposits.

Some posters always assume that the player is at fault when a poker-room with-holds their funds.

The truth is there are poker rooms who have un-necessary, redundant and invasive requirements before you can cash-out.

If they really were looking after your interests your money would have been winging it's way to you, even after all these 'checks', within a week max.

Remember the customer comes first!
