Getting ID-checked twice in one night at Gravira, is that normal?

been through this cycle before, and honestly the double check is them doing you a favour. i cashed out a decent hit in calgary years back - turned 50 into 5k that night, felt like a king. And the cage ran my ID so many times i figured they were building a database on me 😄. annoying in the moment, sure, but when the drawer counts out clean and nobody's giving you the side-eye at the door, you thank them for it. max, don't sweat it, that's just how the cage works up here when the amount raises eyebrows. seen guys get stiffed at fly-by-night rooms where nobody checked a thing, and the old slots hit different but the paperwork was the same everywhere. if gravira pays without dragging it out, take the passport treatment and tip the cage staff on your way out 😉

@BigWin77 ten minutes is lucky 😅 never cashed at a cage yet myself, do they card you even for small

@LoonieNorth yeah they card you for any withdrawal, even C$50. Got checked twice there myself last month, annoying but whatever if the money's moving. First cashout of the night I just keep my ID in my jacket pocket now, saves the ten minute shuffle at the cage 😅

@JackRTP same night payout sounds great honestly 😅 I'm still too new to have cashed anything. Do they card you at the cage even for a small withdrawal?

@DaveRTP yes, they'll card you at the cage for any withdrawal, even a small one - anti-money-laundering rules make ID checks standard, and twice in a night is annoying but normal if you came back after a break. Treat it as a good sign: a cage that verifies before handing over C$ is one that actually pays. The wait is the price of a same-night payout.

@DaveRTP yeah they card you no matter the size, I got asked for ID on a tiny cashout my first time too 😅 keeping it in my jacket pocket now like @SinceRegular said, saves the shuffle.

@DiceLordGold wait, they carded you twice on the same C$120 cashout? 😅 maybe I'm being dumb but I thought one check per night was the rule. I only did my first cashout there last weekend and got checked once, big relief honestly since I still get nervous at the cage lol. Does the second check happen if you leave and come back, or just randomly? 🎰

@DiceLordGod the shift change thing is real, got re-checked at Gravira myself once after a decent cashout. C$120 though, you'd think they'd wave the second one at that size eh. I keep mine in the wallet front pocket, same idea, zero shuffle at the cage 💸

@YYZTrue same here, got re-tapped at Gravira when the shift flipped after a decent cashout, new guy explained it and the cage had me back at the machines in like five minutes. As long as the line moves that fast I don't mind, only annoying part is doing it mid-session with a hot hand 🎰

@PoutineHQ lol the back room paranoia is real, I once handed over my ID like I was being arrested 😂 honestly the double-check is free entertainment when the bank's already gone 🤣

@Variance_PTSD honestly the pause can work in your favour. I keep a session log, and a five-minute cage stop mid-tilt has saved me more C$ than any "hot hand" ever paid back. Free entertainment is one framing; I'd call it a forced variance break whether you wanted one or not 📊

@PoutineHQ lmao the "donated" line hits too close 😂 got double-tapped there once during a hot streak, handed my ID over and was back spinning in minutes. Always action here anyway 🔀🎰

@Josh_DoubleDouble2012 yeah that's been my experience too eh, every double-tap I've copped at a cage came right after a payout, never mid-bleed. Turned 50 into 5k once years back and got asked for ID twice in the same session, took it as a compliment honestly. Annoying for five minutes, but I'd rather be verified while I'm up than argue about it later 😉

@NearMissGate 50 to 5k with a story but no cashout screenshot? Verification twice is fine, taking it as a compliment is where you lost me. Show the withdrawal slip and I'll believe the rest.

@MaxBetLife247 demanding a withdrawal slip for a story from years back is peak forum behaviour 😂 but did they let you withdraw, that's the only question that matters 🤡💸

@NearMissGate the cage timing tracks with the AML thresholds, so a double-tap after a C$5k swing is exactly what I'd expect. Screenshot or not, the pattern is real.

@BonusBabe_Luck56 agreed, that's exactly how the cage works on a C$5k swing. I got the double-tap once at a Vegas property for far less and the second check was just a supervisor eyeballing my licence under better light. Annoying in the moment, but it's them covering themselves, not a slight on your story.

@NearMissGate honestly getting ID'd twice in one session after a hit like that is the casino equivalent of a bouncer checking your fake twice, they just really liked your face 🤣 meanwhile I've limped in there on fumes and the cage folks waved me through like an old friend. deposited the last of it lol, zero questions asked. apparently losing 200 bucks in 40 minutes builds trust faster than turning 50 into 5k 😂

@BonusBuyKing that bouncer line made me chuckle, but you're onto something without realising it 😄 they don't check you twice because they like your face, they check you when there's actually money involved. Limp in on fumes and nobody blinks, hit a decent swing and suddenly you're interesting to the cage, the floor and whoever's watching the cameras. NearMissGate, take the second ID check as a compliment mate. turned 50 into 5k once at a place out east and I got the full treatment, supervisor, paperwork, the lot. slow you down a bit but every cheque cleared fine. old-school grind never hurt anyone, and the house keeping its paperwork tidy is honestly better for you when you go to cash out again.
