    Has anyone used them before> I had an account set up but never used it. I originally set it up because a lad who usually gives me spot on info passed on that Green would be first choice for England at the world cup. At the time they were the only ones with a market for it but Bet fair and the rest soon provided a market so I used them instead.

    He has since told me and a few others that Brad F. is a done deal. I trust his word and i'm willing to risk a few pound on it. Sky bet have a market for it and he's 5/4 to join us.

    However, he lies my problem, Sky bet want me to provide passport info to verfiy my details. Has anyone encountered something like that before?

    You have failed an initial verification check. So that we may verify your identity and date of birth please provide either your driving licence number or passport number.

    I think I initially tried to use my laser details and they didn't accept it so I moved on to different bookie.

    Anyone see anything dodgy with this or does anyone know of a similar market existing elsewhere?

    Thanks

    Yeah My Brother had this Problem with Boylesports. He scanned his passport and emailed them.Also only recently i went to use my Paddypower account, But because i had set it up a few years ago using my Brothers laser card, they suspened it. So i got on to them and again they wanted me to scan my details and send it on it them. Seems to be pretty normal procedure.

    Right, Thanks for that. They want uk license or international passport. They don't want it scanned so not to much hassle.

    On a side note, I don't using CC for gambling sites though. What does everyone on here use?

    I used to use my Laser card, But since thats gone, I just used my Visa Debit card now, which i use for Evertyhing. Im sure there is a way of transfering money from Paypal, but it sounds too much hassle hence why i just use my visa debit.

    Its safe to forward these details,i think its merely a way of the bookmakers to stop people having multiple accounts with them,could be wrong though.

    They are making this difficult. See Screen shot below lads. How on earth do I manipulate the details on my passport to fit into the boxes below?

    Follow the code from the list under your passport signature, It fills in the first 6 boxes, the last 3 boxes have me stumped though, maybe when you chose your country after filling in the first 6, you might not need the last 3? Could be an additional code if you're from another country, try it anyway

    GRC above would be IRL

    I'll try a few different combinations otherwise i'll email them. It's prob not overly worth it now since the bet is only 5/4. Ha.
