Why would they need a street sign or building name?

To make sure that you are located where you claim to be located, but obviously that's not going to work. Cheaters will find ways to cheat (e.g. get someone on fiverr to take a picture for them) and legitimate users will laugh and leave, or perhaps will cheat too because who has even seen an actual printed newspaper recently.

It was only ID documents before, later to taking selfie which can be anywhere, people can even do it at home, now it is selfie showing street sign.

Not even a piece of paper, but a newspaper.

Why would they need a street sign or building name?
I do not see any reason, but I am thinking Cloudbet is looking for more ways KYC can not be manipulated, but this is inconvenience. I do not think I can use any site like that when there are other good gambling sites with easy verification process.

I was browsing through the gambling board, and then I came across some member complaining about some casino that had requested for KYC verification which is OK but what was weird was the way they wanted the user to verify the account  Grin

Dear User,
We hope this email finds you well.
As part of our ongoing verification review of your account, you are kindly requested to submit further documentation to verify your identity.
1. A street selfie: A photo of your face with your government-issued ID (Passport or Driving Licence) and a newspaper in one hand, taken outside your building or street sign. Take a pen/marker and write Cloudbet and today's date on the newspaper and sign the newspaper below the word Cloudbet.
Please note all details. should be legible, including the building name or street sign.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Seriously, is this going to be the new trend in KYC verification?
Remember, back then, all that most services required were the front and back part of your ID or passport before they started asking for simple selfies.
