What else will these use it for? RG checks?

I’m closing all mine across the GIG group/MT Securetrade. 

What else will these use it for? RG checks? Go away

If this means I close one after another to the extent that I have to go back to playing in land casinos or none, then so be it.

Bit of sympathy for casinos regarding this but between them trying to cover selves and a completely clueless regulator in the UKGC (who incidentally have not replied to any of my letters - maybe I’ll get their attention by declaring I’m a successful money launderer and asking is that Ok) it’s like KYC was a walk in the park.

What concerns me is this may drive people to playing at less scrupulous casinos.

What will they use what for? 

 

MT Secure Trade are pretty clueless in my mind when it comes to SOW (think this is what you're taking about?)

 

Agree with a lot of your post - Ive been fighting with GiG as i honestly don't think they know what they're doing when it comes to this stuff. I asked them were they asking for info for RG purposes or SOW and they couldn't even answer me. I got something from their legal team who must have got their law degree from a university based on Mars. 

 

Casino's are attempting to cover themselves - in doing so they are going overboard. They also fail to understand the concept of a risk based approach and their potential breaching of GDPR with some of their info requests. 

 

2 schools of thought on the UKGC's role in it. 1. They should be more specific in their guidance  or 2. Adopt a principle based approach which means Casinos decide on their course of action. Problem with 1. is that you can argue one size doesn't fit all and 2. is better as a casino can take a stance on their procedures and stand by them. The problem with 2. is you get casinos adopting completely different approaches. 

 

Eg. I've deposited most at Casumo. I've never been SOW'd

 

I've deposited 3k at High Roller - Sow'd. Rizk - Sow'd with even less. 

 

In both cases my play is pretty similar as is my deposits. 

 

One told me they SOW you when u hit a certain deposit threshold - which is absolute nonsense.
