No id required at least I never have although I'm not sure I have ever made a large withdrawal from my account.

Aussie wallet has just got to do with aussie customers afaik. makes no difference over here.

Australian wallet is for betting on "Australian Sports" They need a separate license to take bets for there.

It be best just to send them ID to save time in case they do ask for it.

I had my betfair account closed for not providing ID.

Probably a seriously +EV move

I think I had to send id at some stage, or proof of address (can't remember if it was betfair or jsut money bookers). It's no hassle really and its makes it much easier, you can phone in bets etc, bigger withdrawls etc

All aussie markets are bet on from that wallet.
I need to transfer to it occasionally, rugby internationals, UFC in sydney, melbourne cup this like that. It doesn't require anymore setting up, just a few seconds to transfer between wallets

ID requests are completely standard from online betting sites, casinos and poker rooms. They usually nail you when you look to withdraw.
