Speaking of slipping through fingers. I signed up for Patreon and started donating $5 a month to the Godot game engine which I'm interested in. Soon afterwards I got a message from Patreon saying that my account was suspended for suspicious activity, and support told me I had to show a lot of personal documentation to get my account reinstated. "You must go out of your way to be our customer" they told me (in effect), I hope that works out for them. I just donate to Godot directly now.
- Traster 8y agoWhat you're describing there sounds like normal anti-money laundering regulations that they are required to fulfill. Due to the nature of their business there will always be a certain number of cases where they have to investigate and seek documentation to show they're not just mindlessly laundering money, as they scale up those processes will scale up to. In the UK you basically can't deposit money into an online gambling website without submitting a photographic ID - it's just regulation.
