OAKLAND PARK, Fla (Gambling911.com) - Long established Bookmaker.eu is the latest gambling website to follow the trend of requiring a Two-Factor Authentication for all withdrawals.
This new security protocol is being adapted across many industries, not just gaming.
Beginning Thursday August 13th, customers will be required to verify all withdrawals using ar preferred Authenticator app.

How it Works
A prompt will appear upon requesting a withdrawal.
Google, Microsoft, Apple, Proton, and Authy are some of the most popular Authenticator apps providers that you can find on the App Store or Google Play.
You can set up your Authenticator and sync it to your BookMaker account by following the steps outlined in the Cashier, or contact Customer Service for additional help.
