Unsurprisingly, our support department is swamped. It's a "good problem to have", but we're working as quick as we can so you don't need to sit around waiting for us.

If the registration asks for your ID, it means your age couldn't be verified based on your name/SSN/DOB/address.

Protip to new registrants: use an address that will be on a government ID to get age verified, then update your address to your current mailing address.

You should get the text immediately. In the interim, if you have another cell phone that you can use to verify (spouse/roommate/etc), you might be able to get online that way.

If you own any type of computing device from Apple computer, the software they provide will not work. On a mac computer they suggest that we buy vm software, a windows 7 cd, install all that then download the software and that is the mac solution. Showing lots of class

You get different parts of the registration based on how accurate your SSN/DOB/Address/Name info is.

Another hint - don't use PO boxes, university addresses, hospitals, casinos. These all come back as "soft fails", meaning we have to check.

Daxonovitch ,

You mentioned in this thread that you will eventually add the capability for players to use HUDS. I hope your team has had a long discussion about this and I am interested in how you think that this will actually be a good thing for the long term health of your site. I'm sure you are aware that player liquidity is crucial to the prosperity of any online poker site. We have seen many sites introduce controversial measures like "Fair Play Technology" because the recreational players are busted too quickly by the solid regs/grinders. Many things have been cited as the cause of this problem, and chief among them is the prevalence of HUDs.

There are plenty of threads where the issue has been debated and I'm sure you've read those threads. I'm just curious why at this early stage you have made the decision that HUDs will be a positive for the site.

We ask players to opt into triangulation when they sign up, but we check it randomly (when you log in, periodically while you play, more often based on where you are in the state, etc).

We make a pretty good effort at making sure people aren't tethering their laptop to a phone and driving out of the state. If you do that and get booted out at some random time, that's unfortunate (and clearly against both NV law and our rules).

What would you have them do? Delay the launch for another 3 months so they can spin up a version for the 6.5% of you who bought into apple's marketing scheme?

Such a great response....

Can anyone please confirm or deny that they are using iovation software? If this is true does everyone realize just how messed up that is? Greg Pierson founded this software. Greg Pierson was the originator of the cheating that occurred in ultimate bet. Basically he is making another huge payday along with PH if this is indeed true. I'm sick to my stomach right now

And here we are. Yes, our software doesn't have everything we'd like it to, but we're here now and we're happy to be pitching cards.

All I can say is to keep your eyes on the software - it's going to change rapidly and [hopefully] become everything you and I both want it to be.

LOL... I see the sharks circling already!

I'm going to be in vegas in 2 weeks and I don't have text messaging.

Is it 100% required?

I am assuming this is a passive/background verification of my cell phone. You aren't going to text my phone everytime I log in or randomly right?

I got on some stupid sportsbook betting text list and can't get them to stop!

just checked what was on my machine

it appears they are using cyberarts publishing llc (based in oakland ca)

edit: oh, ignore this, iovation does verification/identification, so this would be different than the platform software

So for those too lazy to look into it. Iovation was the software provider for Ultimate Bet
The CEO of Iovation is Greg Pierson who directly worked with Russ Hamilton.

"Like Russ, all of the sources we spoke to who personally knew Greg Pierson now describe him as a “cheat,” a “liar,” and even a “giant douchebag.” Greg though could apparently make a good first impression on people, and even forged friendships with two of UltimateBet’s key public personalities: the WSOP’s all-time bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth, and the world’s most well-known female poker player, Annie Duke."

ban huds- let the fish live a little and spare the zombiefication of once promising young children as they turn into 15 tabling soulless poker ghouls. Kill two birds with one stone. Win win.

Says my nevada location isnt verified? How do you fix that issue? Everything else is working.
