Honestly, I’ve been playing at non-GamStop sites for a while now and the verification process has changed so much over the past year or two. Used to be you’d send over a quick photo of your ID and a utility bill and you’d be done within a few hours. Now some places are asking for bank statements, source of funds declarations, selfies holding your passport — the whole lot. To be fair, I get why it’s happening, regulation pressure is real even outside GamStop. But when you’re waiting 3-4 days just to make your first withdrawal it gets proper frustrating. I’ve had decent experiences at places like iWild and Mystake where it felt smooth and straightforward, but I’ve also dealt with some right headaches at other sites. Ngl the source of funds stuff catches a lot of people off guard if they haven’t done it before. Has anyone got tips for getting verified quicker or making sure your docs are accepted first time round? Would love to hear how others are handling it.

i know exactly what you mean! I had a similar experience recently at a non-GamStop site. I sent in my ID and a utility bill, thinking it would be a quick process. But then they hit me with a request for a bank statement and a selfie. It felt like I was applying for a mortgage rather than just verifying my account! I get the need for security, but sometimes it really does seem excessive. Have you found any sites that still keep it simple?
