ID Requests from Online Bingo Sites
As long as you are over the age of 18, anyone is free to register with the multitude of online bingo sites available to play at on the net……….and the only ID requirement you are usually asked for upon sign up is your credit or debit card details.
This is put in place to validate who you are and of course to stop multiple registrations at the same site by the same person, just so they can grab those lucrative sign up bonuses. So please do not worry about entering your details, as it is quite safe to do so. No money would be taken out of your account unless you choose to make a deposit with the online bingo site in question.
However, you could be asked for more forms of ID if you have a big online bingo win. This too is normal practice at a fair few online bingo sites on the net and once again put in place to combat fraud.
When you play online bingo with Tombola Bingo for instance and if you won over £3,000 within 90 days, their terms and conditions state that they would ask you to provide extra proofs of ID. This can either be emailed, faxed or posted to them. The quickest way to get it to them of course would be to scan your ID and send it to them via email, but the other two alternatives are still available to you.
Jackpotjoy Bingo are another online bingo site which does request extra ID, but they do this on your first withdrawal made. This means that they will not release any funds until you they have validated your identification…….so you may have to wait a little while longer to receive your first payout win back.
This can be a bit of a pain I know, but on the upside you should only have to send in your ID once. So when you have complied with this condition, you can then sit back, relax, play bingo and instantly be able to withdraw any winnings back to your account.
Every online bingo site is different and some sites will only request ID if you win big. So smaller wins can usually just be re-funded back to your credit or debit cards.
