Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Asking for proof of ID in a shop

I've seen signs that ID and proof of address must be shown if total returns go over €2k. Anyone had this? Shouldn't the documents really be sent straight to the money laundering authorities, rather than the bookmaker?

Yes it happens all the time, it's standard practice. I don't think you've thought through the second part, the bookmakers verifying who they are allowing to play is the only way the system could work. They confirm the ID, they pay the bet. Your system would add several extra steps and also require the money laundering authorities to have hundreds (at least) of extra staff to verify thousands of transactions that are 99% completely legal and of no interest at all to the money laundering authorities.
