Why verifying account only before withdrawing?

[Heatman]

It's known to be a standard operating procedure for any poker site to have you verify your account and identity whenever you want to withdraw your earnings.

Now, my question is why don't they have the same procedure for when you want to deposit money into your account? This verification should start from there. Why are those sites not worried about your identity when you're making a deposit but when you want to withdraw, they'll be interested in verifying your identity?

I hate verifying my account before you can play any sort of games

@Nathan AKA Nate I agree you should be able to play while waiting for your account to be verified.

You should allowed to play without verification on the account
