RELEASING SS# TO OFFSHORE BOOK

[exilarch 0]

I have decided NOT to open account with Sportbet using E-check(50 % BONUS),because they require SS#.Identity theft is an epidemic. The Feds and Asscroft are everywhere. It is insanity to give out one's SS# to an offshore bookmaker: a good number of them are sleazy.

to give it to anyone. The law actually states the number is to be used for tax purposes only. It's not a general identity number that any business can choose to use. If this company is acting under order from the Federal Gov't to obtain tax id numbers from customers, they can legitimately ask, otherwise, tell them you'll give them an "ID" number and just make something up. If they insist on the real SS I'd either fake it or better yet, don't do business with them.

Ex,

Strong candidate for "Balls on Accurate" post of the day.

A 50% bonus is very suspect under ANY cicumstances!

Jake has advised that the SS # is simply due to the E-Check requirments...

He is pretty understanding... if you call him or email him directly he may make an exception & honour the promo with a different depost method...

Thing about Jake is he is very accesible...

 

Exilarch, Skyweasel and Packer,

SportSavant is right on. The bank is the one asking for the SS#, not us. That information is solely for use by the bank and our clerks/employees will never see it.

Please feel free to call me, or any one of my CS reps, and we will be happy to clear up any other misgivings that you might have. I realize that things in this industry have some people a little jumpy, but I assure you that after you hang up the phone with our people, you will feel much better about playing with Sportbet and Island Casino.

SS,

Thanks for poppin in here. Much appreciated.
