When you are hell bent on killing your own project, it will die eventually. The verification company they require us to use only has a couple hundred downloads and reviews are not that good. It's a brand new company and just because they have the word block chain in their description doesn't mean we should trust it. The address verification is unnecessary, to secure account, you can require email verification before withdraw is sent, quadriqa, potcoin wallet, and bitcoin poker sites do this, so if someone is in your account, they need to gain access to email as well. If it works for them it will work for coinpoker. Multi accounts are prevented through IP tracking, rewards sites and dice sites do this, there is a third party software available for $100 for poker, and it has an IP thing, so same tables can't have same IP's, no identity verification needed. Bot behavior needs to be identified and corresponding IP banned, identity check is not gonna help if you can't identify a bot. If major crypto exchanges/wallets like quadriga and huge dice cites don't require any of the stuff they do, than there is a reason for it. The more barriers you create, the less people making it to the finish line. The price now is 12 cents cad and buy price is half that, what poker player is going to buy chips that are worth half right away, it makes no sense. The player distribution is worry some, only ten percent come from US according the graphic someone posted, which is the only country that can't play on normal sites like 888poker, so 90% of players are just draining the free rolls, because they have so many good options for mainstream poker.
Good observations, you might be the only other thinker here.
I can tell you guys no verification has ever stopped a scammer. It has only stopped real users who understand its a joke. The people who will use these apps are young suckers, they will give up poker in one week or a tiny few will get better and move on to fiat sites. It is only the rejection of fiat and large operators that makes up the BTC poker space. Whoever pulls out their phone and gives the phone number and identity to a scam ICO like civic is already a loser. Someone who doesn't understand the privacy and surveillance state we live and how apps work.
If I wanted to cheat this here is what I do.
Step #1 - acquire old phone, most people have 5 phones around the house, if you don't look in the junk bin at your work, still can't get one free, there are 500 phones on craigslist with a broken screen selling for $20 average.
Step #2 if its really old flash it to Android 6.
Step #3 acquire anonymous sim card at 7/11 for $12.99 , activate as Tony G. Verify and complete,
Step # 4 log on to coinpoker and continue scamming
A hacker can even skip steps #1 -3 because cloning your sim or EMI is as easy as one two three, so a real hacker can use one sim and one phone to create endless identities.
Call your friend on the new phone and go multi accounting, card sharing, teaming up etc..
As you can see its a joke, no fake/phony app verification can be done online period.
Finally, who is selling you this fraud, it's another fake ICO !!! Its only fitting one ICO would partner with another . They both have the same model
