Blonde poker - withdrawing cash

[AdamM]

yes, I understand that, however their activity doesnt protect against what they say it does. If I had deposited with a stolen card returning to the same card would protect the actual card holder. If it was money Laundering I'd be depositing and losing the money to registered 'clean' cards. the system the have in place is invasive and doesn't protect them or the cardholder.

I'm not basing my concerns on any advert. I'm basing them on experience in the banking industry and first hand experience of trying to help individuals who've been the victim of identity theft. THIS IS UNSAFE TO THE CARDHOLDER

WHEN YOU GIVE YOUR CREDIT CARD DETAILS MOST COMPANIES WILL encrypt THEM ON THEIR DATABASE TO PREVENT FRAUD.. WHEN YOU FAX OR EMAIL THEM YOU ARE GIVING SOMEONE A PAPER COPY OF EVERYTHING THEY NEED TO USE YOUR ACCOUNT.  i JUST PHONED UP THE LlLOYDS TSB credit card helpline and they told me that my credit card insurance will NOT pay out if I send or fax my credit card details to ANY third party...  My son fell foul of the same thing when he gave his card to the carphone warehouse to copy it and the guy copied BOTH sides. he lost 200 quid to a fraud later that week and the cc company would not pay up...   sending all those details is just nonsense..

exactly, thank you

(sorry to hear about all that)

That is why you block some of the numbers, block the signature, block your passport numbers etc...  They won't say "You have to send us all the numbers" etc...

although somewhat wayward of the point, is Nemesis' suggestion a sound one?

I'm not too concerned about identity theft, but I understand the concerns of others.

What bothers me is that I now have to get off my lazy arse and make a trip into town to get everything copied and sent off.

I don't have a scanner and normally I don't have a need for one. I've never had to to this before for any other site and I have accounts with three other tribeca skins.

I now HAVE to do something that will take me 2 or 3 hours. If had I known about this prior to depositing then I wouldn't have bothered.

Misleading new customers by failing to provide this kind of information is not the best way to impress.

I agree totally, it really was a pain in the ass going to get everything photcopied etc... but this is my living and it is only once per network.

If you have those concerns, just use NETeller. You put the funds in and can move them about between all of the sites that you play. It is done pretty much instantly and goes back in to your bank account pretty quickly as well.

Not good news guys. These procedures may have been necessary 10 years ago but the company should not be requesting info like this in this day and age. The company itself should have more updated withdrawal methods.

I have just had a two hour circus trying to withdraw from Titan,looks like it will be the same with this outfit, in the future the choice is simple, im sticking to companies that take debit payments AND return to the card instantly. Why would I want to do business with someone that will take my debit card payment, but wont return it promptly or in some cases return it via cheque....21 days later...which i then have to bank and let clear...all in all it will take me a month to get the cash I have just taken from Titan poker. No point.

[AdamM]

it's still a risk, it's inconvenient, it's not standard amongst their competitors and the policy is not applied until AFTER they have accepted your deposit.

there is no need to take this information. it's over zealous beaurocray and it's invasive. a disappointing result to signing up to blondepokerleague is my feeling (though obviously not Blondes fault)  

if there is a $500 threshold for depositing before this procedure is used the same threshold should apply to withdrawal. its $70 I want off them, not $7000

[AdamM]

bobby1, dead right. will be reading terms and conditions MUCH closer next time

jbsc, once you've used the card you cant withdraw using NETELLER until you've gone through this procedure. not an answer here Im afraid

[AdamM]

jeez, to start with I was just mildly irritated. I'm bloody angry now.  better get the kids to bed and the cat out before

To be honest it is about time these US sites did something regarding payments and withdrawals.The Blondepoker room is a great initiative but to be honest I can play via Blue sq and VC and get instant access to the cash. The wider problem is that sites that use these outdated banking methods that use communal rooms are making chip dumping from their site to a site with easy cash outs inevitable.

[AdamM]

see, I was thinking that. I could easily go to a HU table with a friend, dump the $70 to them, log out, log back in on BlueSq and they could pass them back.

not saying I would but  I could

I wouldnt obviously, but I could
