Thrills Casino Restricts Player Base with ‘Bank ID’ Change

Popular online casino Thrills Casino has announced it will be switching to a ‘deposit and play’ brand, which will only allow their services to be used by players with the Band ID facility.

This is seen by many as a strange decision on the part of the casino, as Bank ID is only a viable option in Finland, Germany, and Sweden at this point, essentially ensuring that Thrills will be restricting their customer base to exclusively players from those countries.

Bank ID

Bank ID is an instant solution supplied by banks in certain countries that allows for safe, secure, and quick transactions at online websites.

With the calls for compliance from online casinos growing over recent years, more and more sites are looking for ways to ensure they take care of their customers, and Bank ID is an excellent way to do so.

The sacrifices

It’s clear that Thrills Casino have decided to prioritise this compliance, and therefore only offer services to players when safety and security can be as near as possible to guaranteed in both directions.

While the sacrifice here is obvious, with players from all other countries outside of the three above soon to lose their access to Thrills Casino, it’s clear that this is a decision the casino is comfortable with.

Will Bank ID spread?

The ease of use that Bank ID offers, allowing players to sign up to an online casino with a click of the button, not needing to input information or undergo security checks because they have already been carried out through Bank ID, means that this is likely to become a popular service around Europe.

It will probably not be long before many players have access to Bank ID, and Thrills has put itself at the front of the queue when it comes to options when they do.
