I've been playing on global since January of 2019, a few weeks ago I took 1st in an mtt and decided to try and cash some of it out for the first time. Well I can't get through the verification process because my license is scratched and worn and I can't get a new one right now because the DMV in my area is still closed due to Covid 19. No big deal on my end until logging in today and I'm blocked from even registering a tournament without account verification even though I'm not trying to cash out. This is sucks, just had a big win yesterday to roll me through the summer series too.

Do you have a passport?

Nah, I resolved with CS that I wouldn't be able to verify until the DMV opens back up and thought the matter was closed. I don't really care about my $720 balance, but I'm gonna miss the community if I have to play somewhere else. The daily twitch game has become something I really look forward too. It's weird that if I had never tried to cash out I'd still be able to play.

how worn is the license? No way to get better picture? DMV should open up soon.. idk what state you are in but hopefully you can get verified before the summer series.

It's super worn plus I need to update my address anyway, I'm thinking that I may have hit the total 2k in buy ins in which they suspended ur account, been playing slightly higher stakes and more volume the past few months.

Try messaging GPL during the live game tonight. They’ve been helpful for me in the past

What 2k buy in? I'm confused. Never heard of a site banning you for buying in too much.

It’s not a banning it’s an account verification. OP just needs to verify info but since they have reached GPs threshold they will lock the account to make them prove who they are. And judging by OPs comments they understand what is being asked. PokerStars will do random verifications at times and lock the account too. It sucks but not unheard of. I always tell anyone who plans on playing a site to verify ASAP to make sure when it’s time to withdraw its quick and easy.

Ah, ok. That makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.

Update: I managed to get an appointment scheduled at the DMV, haven't heard anything from CS except asking me if I have a passport again.

Can we refrain from these click-bait hysteria thread titles? Some new people might make a decision to not play on Global when they see your thread title. We want traffic. This is a great site.

You have recourse, you can get a new driver's license. You didn't follow the rules and got blocked, so that's on you not the site.
