Hi Kevin
Just playing devil’s advocate here for a second, I think their is some logic in this sitiuation. Online casinos are required to put anti money-laundering measures in place under their licence agreements. My guess is this is one of those to prevent moving cash from one country to another.
A wayward example: lets say hypothetically you’re part of a drugs co-op and you’re operating in the US but need to transfer funds to Hans, the supplier, in Germany. With his connections and some dodgy documentation from Jurgen he sets you up a Deutschebank account in Hamburg. You deposit the money into Grand Hotel from your US bank or by Western Union/Neteller whatever, play a bit of Thunderstruck and then withdraw it (to your registered address in Germany via Bank Wire) and then you cruise over to Germany on Han’s new Yacht and withdraw the money.
That’s probably the sort of thing that goes on to avoid taking cash over borders so I’m guessing that security checks are in place for this purpose.
Cheers
Simmo!
