Online casinos request the winners who want to make a withdrawal to send identification documents in order to claim and receive their winnings.
I will not go into the withdrawal methods and where is the best place to play and withdrawal the winnings as fast as possible.
I will go over the reasons for an online casino to request identification documents from the winners, why you should do it and whether it’s safe to send the online casinos your identification documents.
There are various reasons for which the online casino requires your identification documents and they are as follows:
1. Fraud prevention – There were cases of stolen credit cards being used to play in online casinos. Most of the online casinos has fraud prevention mechanism but they still want to verify that the payment method used by the client, actually belongs to the client.
2. Anti Money Laundering laws – where as the client’s identity is needed in order to send money to prevent money laundering.
3. Terrorism related laws – following the September 11th events, new regulation where ruled regarding online transactions in order to prevent money to reaching the terrorist groups.
Online casinos has no intention of revealing your identity to the authorities as they want you to come and play at their casino again and again and doing that will decrease their chances of you coming back to play there.
Therefore sending your identification documents is safe and you should be able to trust the online casino you play in, especially if it’s a known brand.

One of the better aspects of playing in an online casino is being a winner. As a winner you have money which you will eventually want to take home with you and show the world you are talented and you actually did it – you beat the house!
I have money in my balance – what’s next?
Now that you have money in your balance after winning money, you need to make sure of the following:
1. You have met your wagering requirement – You played just enough in the allowed games in order to be able to withdraw your money with or without the bonus amount. In order to check whether you met your wagering requirement you can contact the casino’s online support and simply ask them. They will give you all the information on whether you met the requirement and if you need to wager more money, how much and which games you can play in order to be able to cash out.
2. With which payment method you intend to withdraw – There are several payment methods and not with all of them you can cash out your money, furthermore there are payment methods with which you are required to make a deposit with before you can cash out with.
Considering for the explanation sake you have met your wagering requirement and you are ready to cash out, what is the most recommended withdraw method?
In order to find out which is the most recommended method we should ask ourselves the following questions:
1. Do I have to pay tax on my winnings?
2. Can I withdraw directly to my bank account?
3. Can I withdraw using a check?
4. Am I going to continue playing in this online casino?
Once we have the answers to these questions we can decide on the suitable payment method to withdraw our money to.
Withdrawing to eWallets:
There are pros and cons as for withdrawing to eWallets. The pros can be faster withdrawals and no explanation needed (nobody will ask you where did the money come from). The cons can be the fact that you need to cash out from the eWallet so you need to know their requirements to cash out, how long does it take and so on.
Another fact about the eWallets is that you can use it in more than one place. There are many places which accepts the eWallets.
Known eWallets can be: Neteller, Clickandbuy, Moneybookers, Click2Pay, ACTeCASH and more.
Withdrawing directly to your bank account:
It’s easier than it seems. All you need to do is provide the casino with your bank account details and that’s that, in a matter of days you will receive the cash in your bank account.
• You might need to supply some identification documents to the casino prior to withdrawing your money. This is perfectly fine as the casino needs to protect itself from money laundering and security aspects following the 9/11 events.
