I mean alot of sites will never give you any withdrawal problems, beside the regular picture of the ID or something like that. Others that ask for more then that or just for more time are probably just scammers, you cant go wrong with Pokerstars, Partypoker, Fulltilt i gues

I don't think there will be major problems for players in the United Kingdom when they want to withdraw something. The important thing is to win and after that will see how long it will take, for that money to come into his account. The first thing is to play well and then focus on the win.

The best poker rooms in my opinion are Pokerstars and Party Poker when you want to withdraw money. 888Poker caused me two problems to my last two withdrawals. Some of the money was sent on the Visa card and another on Skrill but i didn't ask for it. It's ugly what's going on here.

Some sites have rules about cash outs, ones that involve what you are describing here. According to your depositing methods. they have the right to choose different methods to cash out your money. For example most sites cashing out the equal amount of money to the way you used to deposit, for example a credit card and the exceeding amount to your requested method.
Posted by fisherman19: im looking to test out other sites....can anyone tell me the top trusted sites that don't give withdrawal problems?
Just search for poker/gambling sites which has exclusive UK license now, those should not give you a hard time in any case. The field might change after Brexit though, maybe you are better off waiting a bit.

He must to play in 888poker because even though this room is based in Gibraltar, he is actually an Englishman and has many favors for players of this country. He has real chances for profit and it will be good if he plays there. Another room would be Pokerstars.

Avoid sites with Rival games only , those are running without license and are utter garbage.
Try to find sites with UKKKKKKKKKKK don't know why site removes it when you type it properly.^ or malta license, those are good.
Curacao isnt bad either, depends on the site you are playing on.
Every site expect some BTC ones that are running without license are gonna ask you to go through KYC- Know your custromer - ID/passport pic/ proof of an adres/ deposit etc.

With poker - playing on different sites gets you to play against different playerpools. Some are easier to beat than others. with the casino games, different sites gets you different wagering requirements when it comes to deposit bonuses - sometimes it makes great a difference.

Haha. I wanted to change my email on a site called PokerMatch and i sent them my ID.
They said it wasnt enough. They said i need to go to the store and buy a webcam and join a skype or video conference and i need to smile and wave at them.
Might not be a scam as the site is well known. But uh... Its mentally insane to request that. Government ID is enough. A phone call in addition to my ID is enough. Confirmation of details in addition to a phone call and my identification is enough.
Ah well. There are amazing value tournaments and freerolls on PokerMatch. But just like every other site that fails. I think this will bite them in the ass.
I also wouldn't trust *any* site at all. Because even the best sites ie PartyPoker admit to banning hundreds of bots a month. And the next month they ban more.
15 years ago, i would consider it an abomination if our predictions were true about bots (and they were).
Dont trust them because they say they remove bots. Dont trust them just because they reluctantly tell you its rigged. I know the sites hate bots because it might destroy our game. But there are many people involved and security teams and reasons to trust or to not trust a poker site.

You do realize that companies who are taking the extra mile to identify you as the actual account holder (via webcam) are doing this in order to make sure you are not a bot IRL. These two things are actually connected.

Cant believe you are actually defending this insanity from this one site. At least you are being respectful about it. And you do make a very good point.
No, sorry they can have the copy of my ID. Im not going to go to the store to buy a webcam to smile and wave at them.

I am not defending this insanity but the majority of cheating in these places are coming hand-in-hand with an identity theft (where an already banned member buy a fresh account at some online black market) and coming back to use bots to do once again what he got banned for in the first place. So I know it's insane but I won't hold it against them if they want to make sure you are who you are.

TY for the info,
Oh im not holding it against them. Im just obviously unable to access my account and this is ok as i never intended to put in huge volume at the site.
I guess discussion about these new procedures is good.
If they are secure.. im ok with them having a copy of my ID.

Hi fisherman19, you can trust in all the poker sites that Bank Roll Mob promote. You have to see it in the "Review" page, there are the sites that are actually proposing (it change time by time). I only had really problems with Duck Poker. They disappeared and stold me $ 130, that was an enormus bite to my bankroll.

Somewhat of a oxymoronic statement, good maragatero, since Duck Poker was promoted here and proved itself to be untrustworthy.
However, it's estimated that more than 1/2 of all new startups go bankrupt in the first year.
The internet is also the perfect place to open a gambling business and abscond with your customer's money - it's the wild west out there and there ain't no sherriffs watching your back pardner.

If you deposited on your own to Duck then I dunno what to tell you - actually there were a truckload of different threads on this forum about them being not trustworthy despite they were promoted here heavily. If you made that $130 from the NDB and playing freerolls then that money was never really yours in the first place anyway.
But uh... Its mentally insane to request that. Government ID is enough. A phone call in addition to my ID is enough. Confirmation of details in addition to a phone call and my identification is enough.
