Wait o, lets be sincere to ourselves. What re they really verifying, if merrybet wants to be sincere to themselves they should be plain to all. if they really want to get facts about people and their accounts. let them tell people to upload their ID. They ve provision for that in their system. then if someone wins ask the person Questions in respect of the prediction, e.g name, address, emails types of game played e.t.c if the person can answer those questions, let the person send his or her i.d again to know if its the same face with the one in ur system before. its not a must that it must be the exact one he or she sent before because anything can happen to anybody anytime. one the face in the second ID is the same with the one in your system. pay the person his or her money even if its student I.D.
Let me sight example from bank, someone won 5m in their promo, what they did was call the person. they asked the person his complete name, date of birth, his last deposit e.t.c. after that they asked the person to scan his ID just to prove it was the same person in their system. the ID the person sent was this new Driver's license not even the previous one he sent. but when they saw the faces they called him and he went and snap with a cheque and his winning was paid into his account straight away.
No stories, no invalid ID or ID verification because it has nothing to do with ones winning.
