[csuf_gambler]

i just tried to set up a party account and to my surprise it asks you for the last 4 digits of your social when u try to sign up at the cashier. and when i enter it, it says identity not verified, what the hell? i have a pokernow and empire account and have never had to register with the cashier or enter a social. is this something new at party or what
