Bah.
That's right, you heard me. I'll say it again: bah.
I did not know that Party Poker freeze your accounts pending an identity confirmation.
Well, I knew they sometimes did it before allowing cashouts, but this surprised me.
I, being tighter than a nats nadgers, decided to give partystakers offer a go and let them put in $50 for me at Party.
I cleared 70 raked hands at their beginners' tables and was up about $8 and feeling that all was well with the world and would continue thus to be. (Or at least, hoping that any serious downswing would wait until I cleared my bonnus and my BR could take the hit).
So I was shocked when I got to work and tried to log on to party and told that my account was suspended. I mean what am I gonna do all day now? Work??
Meh.
Anyway, there's no problem proving who I am. I have nothing to hide (well, no I have lots to hide, but very little of it from party poker) and will happily send them some ID.
But if they'd told me straight out I'd have sent it last night and we'd all be happy.
Do they do this to everyone? Or what?

Stories of party wanting identity confirmations are few and far between. Ur account must have had some red flag on it for some reason. Ive only ever read about a couple other people needin ID confirms. Now on other sites its not uncommon. Multipoker has done it to a lot of people.

back when I was a wee little noob I made 2 party accounts in my name. It wasnt bonus abuse or anything, I didnt even know about bonuses back then. I had truly forgotten I had a party account. Anyway, they froze both of my accounts until I talked to them and one account was removed.
Ok, I'm still a wee little noob but that's irrelevant.

you should've just told them the other account was for your grandma, that's pretty much the standard for hiding second accounts
