Sky poker

[ericstoner]

I have just tried to log into the open on Sky tonight,I was asked to provide my drivers liesence no0 or to e=-mail my passport no.

Nobody asked my for this over the last week since I set up my acc.

I was therefore unable toplay in the open, is everyone else getting this, and isn't it a bit beyond accepability.

What if I had no passport or driving licence, does this mean II couldn't play?

I haven't had any problems, did you try and withdraw?

Hi john boy.

Spoke to guy at customers servs.He said it was under Alderney law that this info is required as part of the signing up process.(although he stated that "It hadn't been working recently")
I was just wondering if other players had come up against this.It seems strange it only happens to me?

I know several pokersites that ask for this info...I don't see the point of it really and I ain't giving it.

[ericstoner]

yes I too refused to give either my passport or my driving details!!

As my money is lodged with skybet, I wonder if I have to give the details,if I want a £5 punt on the 3:15 at Market Rasen.

I thought the sky suits were reading this, An expaination would be helpful.

Can't see why its only me who'se affected?

you trust murdoch with your money but not with your licence number?

just been reading about sky poker on the fiorum

i take it you play through your remote control

if this is the case you will have to connect via the sky box, isnt this charged per minute

or am i a complete knob

I registered yesterday on SkyPoker, setup a SkyBet account and played in last night's open and it didn't ask me for driving license or passport numbers!!

shouldn't do...I don't have it but I am assuming you can open a skybet account and the box will connect through a free phone nr

[Jonboy]

I think its charged at local rate, but I may be wrong 

[smithy69]

surely not - this is why i asked

even at 10p a minute, thats a nice £6 per hour on top just to play

can anyone confirm

that would be amazing if that was the case...

[byronkincaid]

you will be taken online at local call rate

I think you can also play on your computer???

Smithy,

you can play through your box, or online via the skypoker website.
