Who has done KYC with the book?
Not sure how to start with all this, so any advice would be appreciated. What's the general word on starting with the book and if they are reliable? Especially curious about the whole sign-up and verification process as a punter from NZ; where do you think the line is for a decent experience? Go easy on me, still learning this stuff 😅🙏.

✓Driver licence went through quicker for me than a passport did, first withdrawal cleared in a couple of days once the docs were in. Have a clear photo ready before you even deposit, that's half the battle. Keep a bit of bankroll aside for the wait, don't plan your weekend payout around it 💸Value over a big price 💸

Getting the license to go through quickly is certainly useful information. Sounds good but it doesn't address the fact that no matter how fast they process the paperwork, every bookmaker reduces your potential payout by taking a cut. Don't let the quick verification process fool you into thinking they'll give you everything when a multi wins big. Show me the numbers first before you start banking on those first withdrawal milestones.Numbers are honest, takes aren't.

JoshBlues pretty much summed it up, but I'll add my two bob. Did the KYC with bookmaker a while back and used the driver licence first up, no dramas, took about a day to clear and the first withdrawal in NZ$ landed not long after. Back in my day you just walked to the TAB with your cash and that was that, so I count myself lucky it's this painless now 😄 My tip is send the licence, keep the passport in reserve if they want more.Remember when the grass was greener 🌱

can't argue with JoshBlues on the licence over passport, same worked for me back when I did it. the margin gripe, mate, every punter pays it, old school bookmaking really, ah well, we'll seeSeen it all, lads.

Don't laugh guys, but did anyone actually time it from uploading the photo to the money showing? 😅 A "couple of days" could mean 2 days or 4 and a half for all I know, still learning this side of things. Also RobbedAgainHater318, is the cut really the same everywhere? I figured the line itself varies a bit between places, so wouldn't some take a smaller slice than others? Or am I reading that wrong? 🤔Learning from the veterans, go easy 🙏

Funny you ask about timing, I actually clocked mine. Uploaded the licence photo on a Tuesday morning after a Bledisloe night punt, money was in the bank by Thursday lunchtime, so call it two working days and a bit. The margin question, mate, that's just the cost of a seat at the table, same as it ever was.Watch as long as I have and you'll get it.

Two working days seems quick, mine dragged way longer than that. Does it depend on what day you upload, or did I just get unlucky? 😅Dumb questions are my specialty.

dave, timing of the upload does matter a bit from what I've seen. midweek mornings seem to clear quicker, weekends can sit there till monday. my first verification with bookmaker took the better part of four days, licence photo, utility bill, the lot. seen worse though, a mate of mine waited near a week once. as for passport versus licence, I never found the passport made any difference, both get eyeballed by the same punter at the other end I reckon. my tip is just upload everything they might ask for in one go, saves the back and forth. watch as long as I have and you'll get it, patience is half the game anyway 😄Seen it all, trust me.

Passport over licence for me, cleared the same week. Do it before you want the first NZ$ withdrawal out, not after.Bankroll discipline wins.
