Default Everest Poker...Help/Advice

Only joined Everest at the weekend, made a deposit, and won a very small amount ( a matter of $40) at the poker table.
Anyway, I thought I would test out the Cash-Out of the place and placed a request to withdraw the money into my Neteller Account.
On Monday received an e-mail stating my account was frozen due to "unusual activity" ???? Is winning a pittance here classed as "unusual activity"?
They request to verify my account I send 4 pieces of documentation ( via Internet Billing Services (IBS)), incl. photo evidence, credit card front and back view, etc...
My question to you poker ppl, Is this normal practice with these ppl?
Never had to go to such lenghs previously with any other site.
regards
Spread.

All sites are getting that way now mate. Virgin requested authentication off me today and I've been a member there for ages. What pisses me off is these sites don't mind you depositing without ID but as soon as you request a cashout they do.

They should not let anyone deposit unless they've sent ID. Would save a lot of hassle.

Apparently there is some blatantly obvious reason why this is not the case with regards to gambling sites. Its completely over my head however and all the people on here who know the reason refuse to share their kowledge.

Back to Everest not only do they only have email customer support the docs required are sent by you to another organisation without any other form of communcation to be forwarded to Everest. It is a very long process, I'm not sure what it is like after the initial withdrawal as I never deposited there again.

Having said all that it was 13k I won

I know its all to do with money laundering rules, or supposed to be, but to send Card details, back and front view will give them the 3-digit secure number of my Card, in the wrong hands surely this would be risky.
I think I will tell them to donate my account to charity, too much hassle.
Thnx for the prompt replies.

I think most sites are happy for you to edit out the 3 digit number - if not report them to your credit card company - I'm sure they'd have something to say about it.....
