However, if you place in the top 5, you usually do get quite a boost (but then you also win a lot of money).
And yes when you withdraw you will most likely get suspended and they will accuse you of having multiple accounts. Don't panic, it happened to all of us. Stay calm and polite, send them a scan of your ID (if they ask), and be prepared to record some of your games. (Try and suggest livestream.com if you don't want to go on webcam. I've been using this a lot lately to stream my desktop and it works great.) Once you get validated, you will most likely not get suspended again when you withdraw in the future. But they will always mess with your rankings if they feel they are too low.
Good luck!
