I'm trying to set up an account at a new online casino and the verification process is confusing. They keep mentioning needing a 'med bankid' or something similar, and I'm not sure what that even means. I have my standard government ID and bank statements, but they seem to be asking for something highly specific. Has anyone successfully used a medical record or a bank-issued ID for verification before? I'm worried I might be misunderstanding the requirements or that this whole process is too complicated. Any advice on what documentation is truly accepted would be greatly appreciated.

The 'med bankid' sounds like a misunderstanding. They likely just mean a bank statement showing recent activity linked to your name and address.

I went through this last year. They only asked for a government-issued photo ID (like a driver's license) and a recent utility bill. Nothing medical or overly complex. Don't stress too much.

Seriously, if they are asking for a medical record, be extremely cautious. That is highly unusual for standard KYC (Know Your Customer) verification in the gambling industry. Check the casino's official FAQ or terms of service first.

Short answer: Use your driver's license and a bank statement. That's usually enough.

To reply to the OP: I think the casino might be confusing 'med' with 'method' or 'medium'. Sometimes they require proof of address from a source other than a utility bill, like a bank statement showing the physical address.

I had to submit my passport, a utility bill, and a selfie holding my ID. That was it. It was a very standard process. I don't think any medical documentation was required for me.

Has anyone dealt with a casino that asks for a secondary ID that isn't government issued? I'm worried about submitting things that might not be recognized globally.

If they insist on something specific, ask them exactly what the document needs to prove. Does it need to be less than 90 days old? Does it need to show your full legal name? Specific questions yield specific answers.

I think the OP might be looking at a regional requirement. Some jurisdictions are much stricter than others regarding AML (Anti-Money Laundering) compliance. Don't panic, but be prepared to provide more than just a license.

I used my bank's online portal verification, which required linking my government ID to my account details. That seemed to satisfy the requirement without me having to print out extra documents.

Replying to the user who mentioned the utility bill: Yes, but make sure the name on the bill matches the name on the ID exactly. Even a slight variation can cause rejection.

It's possible they are referring to a specific type of bank account verification that requires linking a medical professional's office or a specialized financial institution. You need to clarify what 'med' refers to in their specific context.

Don't let the confusing terminology scare you. Most reputable casinos use third-party verification services that guide you through the exact acceptable documents. Follow their prompts carefully.

I had to use my tax return as proof of address because my bank statement was rejected for being too old. Always have a backup document ready, like a recent pay stub or tax filing.

If the casino is reputable, they will have a clear, written policy on acceptable IDs. If they are vague, walk away. It's a huge red flag for potential scams or poor compliance.

My advice is to take a screenshot of the exact error message or the specific document they are requesting. Then, search that exact phrase on Google. Someone else has probably dealt with it.

The process is designed to prevent fraud, which is why they ask for so much. It's annoying, but it's standard industry practice now. Just gather everything they list, even if it seems redundant.

I found out it was just a typo on the casino's website. They meant 'bank' and not 'med'. I contacted support and they confirmed the standard ID and utility bill were fine.
