Question:    A casino asked me to fax them my driver's license before they would pay me. Why?

Answer:    It's not unusual for online casinos to ask you to fax them some kind of identification documents before they will cash you out. Some do it to protect against fraud; the documentation lets them crosscheck your name and address against your casino registration. Other less-reputable casinos use it as a stall tactic. They hope that you will not want to go through the hassle and say, "forget it, I’ll just keep gambling," and lose all the money that you have won. I try to avoid casinos with this type of cash-out policy.
