I actually ran into the same thing once at a sportsbook... can't remember which one now, my brain is mush lol, but it definitely isn't an isolated incident. They paid me out just fine after I sent over the digital shots of my docs. I gotta say though, I’ve never even been asked for paperwork by BetMGM, and that's where I've pulled my biggest wins!

Thanks 👍

Hey there!

So, I’m trying my hand at signing up for an online sportsbook for the very first time. I headed over to BetMGM, and they asked for scanned documents. No biggie, right? I figured, "Hey, send them over and we're all set!" But then, out of nowhere, I get this message: "Please also send us photos of the requested documents taken with a digital camera..."

I'm a bit stumped here, honestly:

What on earth do they need photos from a digital camera for if they already have the scans?
It didn't say anything during registration (or maybe I just missed it?) about needing more than just a scan of my ID and one other document (which obviously has a photo on it anyway).

Is this a common thing with other online sportsbooks, or is BetMGM just being extra picky?

Thirdly, does this mean I actually have to grab a camera, snap pics of my docs, and send those over too? (That's my best guess, anyway)

🤷 😕

Thanks!🙂
