Are you aware of any site that actively tries to prevent/limit multi-tabling? It drives me nuts trying to focus on one game but the other 8 players all wait until the last second possible to make a move because they have like 20 other tables open.

Sheep-Goats posted:No live game in your area? I'm not nearly confident enough in my German to go to a casino here yet. I'd be fine until someone asks me a question and then i'd freeze and look like an idiot. I think four open is manageable and I sometimes did that on fulltilt, but I've seen/known people who do 12+ and it just doesn't seem fun to me. Might as well write a odds-calculating bot that performs your moves at that point because there's no way you're getting reads on any of the other players that way.

Online poker question: have you ever had to jump through a ton of hoops to set up an account? I started an EU pokerstars account and made a deposit, only for my account to be locked and they requested a copy of my ID and a bank statement. OK, whatever, it was from a legitimate email and I've heard people being asked for similar things before. But then after I sent these things, they requested a photograph of me holding said ID. Am I wrong to think this is loving ridiculous? I asked them to refund my deposit so I can play somewhere else because this is over the line to me. I gave them a valid bank account with a valid TAN number that resulted in a valid deposit. What does seeing me hold my valid government ID give them? What should I do if they hold the money? Call a lawyer? I'm petty enough to spend more than I deposited just to get it back (within reason) but with such a huge company I doubt that would result in anything that ends well for me.

My main issue is my time they are wasting with 12-24 hours between responses. I wanted to get started playing last night when I was in the mood, now I'm just fed up. Somebody would have had to be living in my house with all of my belongings and PIN numbers only I knew to make the deposit I did and give the information I have. The photo of me holding the ID just seems excessive and I know I'll have to wait 1-2 days for them to process that and let me actually play. I appreciate security, but I'm trying to play cards, not obtain top secret clearance. e: it's especially annoying because when I lived in Switzerland I was able to play straight away with no problems. It's only after I changed my address and deposit information that they decided to get so annoying/strict.
