you have to provide name and address to deposit w/bitcoins? wtf.
This is correct. Switch Poker is a licensed operator and our license required following certain 'know your customer' regulations. Your private details are stored securely and are not shared with third parties for commercial purposes.
The worst thing that this will lead to is receiving the odd Christmas card from the team -- something which can be opted out of. And the best that will lead to is delivery of an iPad or other gift after completing one of the signup bonuses.
having a license in the poker world doesnt mean A GODDAMN THING.
examples: Kahnawake Gaming Commision (licensed UB), Malta Lotteries & Gaming Authority (licensed Everleaf and other fail sites), Alderney Gambling Control Commission (licensed FTP).
The reason you follow KYC (collect name, address, IDs) is cuz you offer fiat currency deposits.
now this is hilarious: "We believe you should have the power to play poker wherever you are. Except USA."
