I just recently started playing on ACR I'm unhappy to hear of your experience. I too had to give them way more personal information than I was comfortable with giving so I could deposit money. They wanted everything but a blood test and DNA sample. Also have seen some very suspicious card activity, bad beats etc. Good luck on the tables!
Sorry if you had a bad experience with your account certification buddy. This is the most common procedure from any site that cares about their customers. The certification process becomes tedious for different reasons, to mention some: the copy is blurry, if you use another's person card (for obvious reasons). However the only docs that we request as most of the websites do, are:
Copy of your ID
Copy of an UB
If you use cards to dep you need to send copy back and front of you card and the authorization form signed.
The process might take no longer than a couple of hours for us to review the information
So the reason of all this process is because we need to validate your identity, confirm that the credit card(s) and the transactions made are legit.
Aside from that, we guarantee that we will not use your documents for any other purpose than certifying your account.
In regards the "suspicious card activity" that is a way to call the bank the unusual transactions as any other finantial company. However, there are other dep methods including BitCoin that you can use and you would not have to use you card directly with our platform.
I hope this helps and please do not hesitate on contacting me if any questions or concerns.
