It felt like somebody in Thailand was telling them to get more information on their Thai users. A year or so ago Thai banks stopped wiring money to Neteller. They still allow deposits from Neteller to Thai banks, but I get the sneaking suspicion that is about to change. Party, Neteller, Stars, have a history of pulling out of countries at the drop of a hat.
I just got my Thai bank account registered with Neteller without any problems or ID card numbers. Pokerstars confirmed they keep offering in Thailand next year, as did a few other networks when I aksed.
Might be something to that "too many winners in Thailand" theory.
