I also gave them proof of my employment which you can only do in the US. I work from home for Amazon, and you're only allowed to do that HERE, and in certain states. Furthermore, If I were outside the US.. I'd be playing Pokerstars..
All I had in the way of a PICTURE of mail was an old one. I sent them a PDF bank statement from last month, I use Simple.com as my bank, which shows a US address.. matches my name, it's just a DIFFERENT address in the SAME town.
But no, I don't currently have a phone, I don't have bills in my name either, I've always rented from other people.. and I've moved a TON. It's a struggle out there these days.
I mean, I've just sent them a mountain.. any reasonable company/institution in the WORLD, would have given me the thumbs up by now.
Pretty frustrating how you can
deposit as much $$ as you want, but cashing out can be held up on (at this point) a ridiculous technicality.
I don't think I'm being unreasonable here. This would not happen on any other poker site, as they would have accepted my documents I mentioned, as more than enough proof..
I can't possibly be the only person in my situation.. It so happens I don't know 100% where I'm moving (but I need to) within less than a week. Sort of poses a problem for producing/getting sent a new piece of mail.
It's not like I can just register for a new utility/buy a car to have insurance on/get a phone when I can't really afford it (Skype is life, especially when you work at home..)
