Sorry, must've missed or forgotten this. I don't really see the point, though. Both you and Intertops agree that you sent a passport with picture and DOB blacked out, and I have no way of knowing if what you send me is what you sent them. The core issue doesn't seem to be a disagreement about what it was you sent, anyway...it seems to be about whether what you sent should be sufficient.

LOL, of course they did - it's just another altered ID. Did you actually expect anything different?

What a third party did is irrelevant.

How long and at how many sites have you been playing poker for online? This is sooooo much standard, your stubbornness is beyond ridiculous. Just as a little FYI ... every site runs a similar ID verification, some are more strict than others and I'd rather trust those that take security serious.

According to this thread it doesn't matter to argue with newschool as he doesn't see the point at all.

I played 6 cashout of all. One asked me for photo and gov't #. Not standard IMO. I believe Bobo said he played 60 and 2 asked for it. It would be fine for them to ask for it as long as it's in the beginning with full disclosure. Then I could make my decision from there. The problem was they and others don't ask for this in the beginning, only when you cashout. Which is wrong.

What's to argue with? Are you saying my claim with receipt is illegitimate?

Well I would have sent you the same email I sent them/w their reply. What else can I do? I have two forms of ID, no CC, no utilities in my name.

No I do not agree about the DOB. It was clearly visible. The photo and pp# was blocked out with cutouts from their mailer. This is why I wanted to send to you. So they couldn't say this. I could have forwarded to you with their email in it so you knew I sent to you both.
But like you said it prob doesn't matter. It would have just proved what I was saying was true.. again


Well their argument switched from I need photo and gov't #, to I didn't send something with addy, age. Like you pointed out a pp only has the state issued, name, and age. So I offered something with name, addy, age on one ID. So what is their reasoning now?


I don't think so. I think you say this because that third party proves I was already verified and would have to be verified again to receive. This is very important IMO. MG has nothing to gain or lose here.

I was just thinking that even if I send in an unblocked ID. I still will not be able to cashout as I do not have a CC or utility in my name. This just reiterates how absurd their policy is. And why it is wrong to not disclose this in the beginning.

Any thoughts?

LOL. You don't have a checking account, cell phone or ANYTHING?

Holy crap man, open up a checking account, send in your government ID and be done with it. You guys are ridiculous.

Are you the Unabomber?

I have a checking account. If this will settle this matter I will send the header. If you think this is ridiculous, then why are you here?

Why don't you tell me Columbo?? I am moving out of the country soon, so no need for these things now. But alas you caught me. The guy that did nothing wrong is now a underage, unabombing, ID making, fraudster. Why don't you add drug using, child eating, satan worshipper. lol Maybe then you can move on?

All just unfounded speculation from a paranoid wanna-be CSI agent. Thanks again for your input. Why your still here??? Guess you didn't get off enough, seeing me suffer. Lil freak you.

Or it was like, a joke? I can't take this thread seriously when you continue to refer to your refusing to send in ID as "Intertops stole my money and REFUSES to return it to me!"

It's not ideal in some respects, but it makes a lot more sense for a couple of reasons. First of all, the sites and the players want depositing to be as simple as possible. The last thing anyone wants is a hurdle for the fish to get their money on the site.

And then there's the expense side of it. Take the % of players that will cash out, and then multiply by the % that the site will want to scrutinize, and I imagine you'll end up with a pretty small %. Increase that to 100%, and you're going to increase costs which might get passed on to players, and you probably increase CS response time.

Probably that an altered ID is no ID at all, just like the altered passport.

I say it because it should be pretty obvious that companies aren't going to automatically rely on other, unrelated companies' security measures.

The only reason you are suffering is because you are an idiot. It states in their TOS:

SECURITY CHECKS, REVIEWS AND RELEASES: INTERTOPS reserves the right to verify Your identity and the fidelity of the information You have supplied by making various security and ID checks. If You fail or refuse on request to comply and sign a security request from INTERTOPS, INTERTOPS reserves the right to void Your account.

and

1.1.6 Intertops reserves the right to close the account of any customer at its discretion, especially if no valid identification documents can be provided.

If you didn't read this then too bad for you. If you did read this and played there anyways then too bad for you. If you didn't understand what they meant and didn't ask any questions before signing up and sending them money, then too bad for you.

Because I don't agree with you I am sure you were find fault with this post.

I think you should read the TOS again. What does info you have provided mean? What does "various" security and ID checks mean? Are you saying this is clear and providing full disclosure? I study legalese and this sht is confusing and I am not the only one that thinks this. Sorry if all of us disagree with you.

And the second part just proves my earlier point that they reserve the right to take anyone's account for any reason. But then someone said I had no clue?? The reason they do not is it's more profitable not to. But they can and what if they did? What would you say then?? They have the right to, supposedly? It's in the TOS. You would say we all deserved it? To bad?

They could simply make it more clear. Not, info you provide and "various" ID checks. So that people like me can fully know what is "accepted." This is a hint to them just make it more clear. They don't have to change their policy. And like it was said most fish don't expect to cashout anyway. So it wouldn't slow up anything. Just make it clear!!!!

Like, you will have to provide ID in full (ie photo and #'s) along with utility...To proceed with any cashouts. Have this plastered on the signup page, in the beginning. Then we could make an informed decision based on full disclosure. This is not to much to ask.

And yes they shouldn't automatically rely on others, but in this one case they could take the whole of everything, into account.

It is possible that they are intentionally vague so as not to lock themselves into a particular form of ID/method of IDing, and so would be scammers won't be prepare for whatever is requested.

The terms are intentionally vague so that they can do what they like and their ass is still covered legally... fully standard

It is possible for lots of things. Pigs flying, easter bunny

I think we can all agree that it is vague and not providing full disclosure. For what reason? Up to the reader. I think that it was the legal dept. that made up the TOS. They made it vague because thats what lawyers do. And now you have a separate security dept. having to do their interpretation of the TOS.

With your suggestion about possible scammers. Scammers gonna scam. Providing full disclosure doesn't help or hurt them. IMO? I dunno?Im not a scammer.

Or this

If the TOS was so vague they why did you not get clarification before signing up?

It is vague, I am not the only one that thinks this.

I took, info you supplied in the TOS, to mean just that. INFO YOU HAVE SUPPLIED. ie name, addy, email, age. Sorry if I didn't have your interpretation of the TOS.

Why not ask the questions. WHy don't they make this clear at sign up? Why don't they give my money back, now knowing what they know? Why are you still ITT?

They don't make it clear at signup because they don't want to scare away fish.

They don't give you your money back because they've decided on their ID policy for whatever reason and are going to enforce it.

He's in this thread because he can't help but respond to your posts

Whether all of the above (or the first 2 anyway) are legal/ethical/moral/whatever is what we've been talking about, and is the reason this thread still exists (Obviously you're not going to make Intertops change their mind)

OK
Everything is negotiable.
Yeah but all he says is the same thing. I need to bend over because he does. And I am an idiot for not mind reading and being able to turn back time.
I think since they did not provide full disclosure and this is necessary for a contract to be valid. That it is Void ab initio, or void from the beginning. But since I can't take them to court and win. We are here. I think they will change their minds once it becomes cost prohibitive. Call me a dreamer

I have offered several different ways to 'verify,' even though I was 'verified' already, and they can't actually verify if I did. sigh.. They have offered, cause we say so, and because we can, even though we kinda told ya, but not really, Gotcha! Oh yeah and cause we say so, because we can. This is not acceptable. BUt you know this already.

This is an easy out for them. They should make it clear from now on. Say something like "We didn't realize there was a problem with the clarity of the cashout requirements in the TOS. After seeing the concerns of our customers. We have decided to change this, as we want to be as fair and transparent, to our customers, as possible." Trusted since 1996 "Furthermore, we have decided to make an exception and pay newschool his moneyz, having proven himself to be a honorable and respected member of the community, and is uber kewl, and punks otatops like no other." "Sorry for any inconvenience".

EZ...... GG, GL, GN

^ believe me, they're not going to - and you have no jurisdiction over them.

Perhaps you could put in a complaint to the licensing body they are registered under, that would be more productive than this thread

And you have been saying the same thing for 20 pages.

First you bitch and moan that it isn't in there TOS about ID, then when it is shown that it is in there TOS now you are saying it is to vague.


Again, if you didn't read the TOS before signing up then it's your fault.
If you read the TOS and were not sure what they meant but didn't ask questions then it's your fault.
If you read the TOS and didn't ask questions then it's your fault.

Next time don't give your money to someone unless you know all the terms. Even my 15 year old knows that.

I like to come and lmao at you.

I had no questions. I took "info you provided" to mean what it says. How else could I interpret that? I had to give name, email, addy, age. I took various ID checks to mean, I had to show ID w/name, addy, age. I didn't think much of it as I never had any problems on any other site. I am sorry I took them for their word, my bad.

How can you LMAO at them taking/keeping my money against my will? Seriously? Whats so funny? I have the fing receipt!!You call me an idiot yet I proved everything I have said. All you do is call names and because they say so. Not everyone has your viewpoint.

If I could take them to court, I would win. And I substantiated it in contract law. You substantiated it in because they say, because they can.

I am reminded of that quote. First they came for the gypsy's but I was not gypsy. So I did not care.
Then they came for the Jews but I was not Jewish. So I did not care.
Then they came for the labor unions, but I was not in one of them. SO I did not care.
Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out.

So you never answered. If they have the right to take anyones account for any reason. As the TOS says. Would it be right for them to? What would that be called? WOuld we all just be SOL? Would we have deserved it?
