Bitcoin Forum

Most of regulated casinos have clause in their Terms and conditions that they can block the account and ask for personal data if they find users activity suspicious or even for no reason at all.

I have always been careful about sharing my personal data with such services. Not only because they can misuse my data, but I don't have any control of who can access my personal data. Also I don't know who they share it with and finally some unhappy employee can collect that data and sell it on black market.

What are your experiences with sharing personal data and opinions about stricter and stricter regulations that require users to share personal data for every withdrawal?

I do not like to go for gambling sites that require KYC before but I am only using very little amount of money to gamble, which makes it not of a concern, this makes me later think if it is necessary. I am still using gambling sites that KYC is not compulsory, but if a gambling site make KYC compulsory, I do not mind to use it also if it is a very good gambling site. But that will be when almost all gambling sites require KYC, as long as I still have the choice to use gambling sites that require no KYC, I will prefer the no KYC gambling sites.

If we want to keep playing in that casino, we really have no choice. It’s one of the things we simply have to accept. If you do not agree with the level of KYC, decentralized casinos are for you.

Every withdrawal is crazy. That’s too much! One sign up is enough.

There is no gambling site that is decentralized. Or do you know if one?

It is worth knowing that web3 are proposed to be decentralized but the web3 sites that we have today, including the web3 casinos are all centralized. Although, their KYC policy may be simple as I noticed many of them do not require KYC but they are not decentralized at all.

If I had a choice not to give my details, I would. But since most casinos now are regulated, it’s expected that they’ll enforce KYC as well.

So it’s either you stop gambling or you comply, that’s the reality now. At the very least, be ready for KYC if you’re gambling even in a site that “doesn’t require it yet.” Because the moment you win big, the system will likely trigger a review and you’ll be required to comply, or your winnings will be forfeited. Just keep that in mind.

Have you ever shared your KYC with an exchange? Exchanges are stricter and casinos still have some leeway.

If it's big money then you can't help but do KYC as long as it's at a reputable casino because I don't want to let my winnings go to waste just because KYC wasn't done, so I do worry about misuse of identity but with a reputable casino they will keep it that way.

But not all casinos that have played KYC this is only in a few cases if it is likely to happen.

I have a very negative attitude toward giving my personal data not just to casinos, but to any private organization, even a government database. They can always be sold, hacked, or used against you used to your disadvantage. And lately this issue has been bothering me a lot, because everywhere you turn, someone is trying to collect some kind of personal information from you. I try in every possible way to avoid giving out my data for as long as I can.

I don't think anyone is happy sharing their personal details to others online and Gambling websites are some business that may legally need our info yet they also could use those identities in wrong way. It's a difficult choice. The user themselves should be cautious where to share and where not to.
I mostly don't share KYC unless I absolutely have to. If the site I'm using on regular basis, asks for KYC and if it seems legit, I don't hesitate giving them my KYC but if a new casino asks KYC just to start or KYC the first time I'm using it, I'd rather leave my few dollars than to fill the KYC.
The only casino where I had recently done my KYC is stake and I'm using a lot of them but none of them have asked for my KYC.

Share that TOS please so we can verify if it’s true. However, even without that specific rule, they can still ask for KYC because it’s mandatory and required by their regulators. When a casino is regulated, they have to follow those laws, and part of that standard is KYC for AML prevention or whatever they call it.

It’s just that some casinos require it early, some require it before you withdraw, and others only trigger it later in the game.

As much as possible, I don't want too, because who really wants to share their personally information to anyone but since most of the gambling sites nowadays are regulated and they are just complying with their license provider. Now, if it really needs to submit one, I need to assess if the site is reputable and safe enough to send my personal information, that's why from the start you should already choose which gambling site you'll be playing at in case they will ask the KYC.

Honestly, I don't comfortable sharing my KYC through gambling sites (even though they are reputable) but if it's trading site, I actually don't mind. Probably because I used it to withdraw my cryptocurrency directly to my bank.

I don't feel comfortable doing KYC anywhere, hehehe

Even doing KYC on government or reputable banking apps is pretty bad, because there's always a data leak and no one takes responsibility

But I have KYC on some exchanges and casinos, I try to stick with the most reliable ones as much as possible
There comes a point where there's no escaping KYC
But I hope more options without KYC will appear
Privacy has been extremely important for keeping us safe, especially in terms of no one ever knowing that we have crypto

Of the casinos I’m using now, I know they’re regulated so I’m expecting KYC anytime. However, it’s been years that I’ve been using them and they still haven’t required KYC, which is actually good for me. Some people say license providers with weak oversight are bad for customer protection, but in a way we also benefit from it because they aren’t too strict with implementing KYC.

Most of us would probably be put off by a casino asking us to complete KYC, but if it's a casino we like and they have a KYC policy, then I think we'll do it, even if it feels a bit forced.

For people who care deeply about their personal data, we won't want to share personal information so easily. However, when we have no other choice, I think we'll comply, because if we don't, our choice is to stop gambling. However, there are many casinos now that haven't implemented a comprehensive KYC policy, so we can choose those casinos.

You made a good point when you mentioned that their database can be hacked. This raises question about how user's personal data is stored, is it secure enough to prevent hacking and further data leaks?

Having our personal information stolen by malicious actors can give us very big problems down the road if they use our data in illegal activities.

You don't have to feel that way if you're sharing your personal data with a casino that is licensed and has no report of abuse; you are just speculating that an unhappy employee will sell it on the black market.
KYC in casinos is something that you need to do because they need to validate that only qualified players and players who are not cheating are allowed to play.
It's either you do it so you can continue playing or don't and limit your qualification in the casinos you're playing.

We should expect KYC requirements anytime that we are on any centralized platforms what I rather look out for is the reputation of the platform that I want to use. I have stopped worrying about KYC if I'm on a reputable casino, I believe that my personal details are safe in their custody. Despite the trust that we have on a reputable casino we are still taking chances when we supply our personal details but we cannot blame them because they are requiring it because of regulations. If you're not comfortable to supply KYC requirements when it is asked for it won't be easy to be on any centralized platforms.

I
Most major casinos require KYC and you can't blame them for that, their platforms have been targeted for money laundering and this is simply because money can pass through without scrutiny, but with KYC this means of money laundering becomes mitigated, they just want to make sure you can actually afford the amount of money you are pouring into their systems, chances are that most governments won't allow them to operate if they don't use KYC, if you don't want to share your information then you could still find some casinos that don't require KYC and gamble with them.

Nope, I am not comfortable sharing my kyc data at casinos or elsewhere. But, I do kyc, if I really need the service... and glancing at responses it looks like plenty users have similar view towards doing kyc.


WDYM? You do kyc and you should be sorted for good while, service may ask for re-kyc after a while.

Have you ever caught somebody for selling your personal data? People talk about documents being sold, but did anyone ever had troubles because of that? Was there cases when with your documents credit was taken? Sim card or bank card reissued? Maybe someone used your documents to get access to excange or wallet? I see only talks, but havent seen any proof from users. I think sold documents are used to verify in airdrops or other distributions of useless rewards; something about what existance you will never know.

I meant that with stricter and stricter regulations people soon will probably won't have any choice but to do KYC.

I didn't mean that people will need to make KYC every time they withdraw, but the trend is that people could not make any withdrawals without making KYC. I recently had negative experience with bc.game, which I have been using for years, where all of a sudden they asked me for KYC for 20 USD worth of withdrawal.

I was once a victim of phishing, although it was not a gambling site or an online casino, but it doesn't mean I should be pessimistic about everything I signed up for.
There are online casinos that are truly trustworthy, and I have been using the same online casino and sports bookie for a long time, and haven't had any problems at all.
I believe it is we who become a problem once we become victims of such problems. E-mail accounts are sold on the black market, and other stuff that they can make money out of. As of now, I have already sent my KYC to them, and that's so I can continue using their service. I have never faced any issue in the many years that I have been using Stake.com.

I also regularly play at casinos that require KYC. I have no issue with that, and so far I haven’t had any problems with the data submitted for verification at the casino.
I know some gamblers might not like KYC and choose to continue playing at casinos that don’t ask for KYC, at least when not making large deposits and withdrawals.
But anyway, nowadays people might be familiar with KYC. Apps on smartphones, especially those related to finance, also involve KYC. More people nowadays may not care too much about it.

I don't jump from one casino to another, I already have a favorite very active casino that I have been using for a long time now and I have done my KYC on the casino, I also have account on stake.com and have passed my KYC too, if there are other casinos I'm using newly, I have not done my KYC on it and I'm not also using the casino frequently like my favorite casinos which I have already done KYC for a long time. We already know that there's risk to give out our private information but if you are going to use the casino, you just have to pass the KYC unless it's not instantly being demanded.

I haven't had any bad experiences when sharing personal data on a casino but I am still not 100% comfortable sharing it to them since there is always that nagging thought in the back of my head that they might be selling it or get leaked. As for KYC for every withdrawal, it's a bit much if they will require a KYC verification every time a gambler ask for withdrawal.

That's why I don't make large deposits at casinos and keep the bulk of my bankroll in my own wallets, only depositing what I can afford to lose. And if for some reason my account gets blocked and they ask me for a KYC, I'll simply ignore it. The exception might be if my deposit increases due to a big win, although I think this can be monitored, and if you manage to win, simply withdraw your winnings and keep your deposit to continue playing.

if you don't feel uncomfortable sharing your personal information for a simple reason like gambling, i don't think you belong on this forum. isn't the purpose of the people here, and of bitcoin, privacy, anonymity, and decentralization?

you shouldn't have to reveal who you are to a website where you just gamble. casinos don't need to know this information to do their job. it should be enough for them to receive payments from completely anonymous users and pay them out when they win. while it's true that insisting on complete anonymity could lead to consequences like betting fraud and money laundering, that doesn't change the fact that we should remain anonymous.

So far so good and no problems, I always do KYC because I don't want to have problems when making withdrawals in the future, even if the casino says it can be without KYC, I will do KYC if the casino has that option, I know your concerns, so choose a casino that has a good reputation, from its license, from its regulatory compliance and other points that make the casino you think you can trust so that your data is safe in it.

That is good rule and I try to act the same, holding most of the funds on cold wallet and keeping just minimal funds on external services.

Unfortunately I never had win so big to contemplate doing KYC to withdraw the winnings.

I believe no one here is comfortable sharing data to a casino but we have no choice if we want to continue playing since this is a requirement of AML to the casino.

So far I don’t encounter any trouble on sharing KYC because I only KYC verified on casino that already established.

Only casino such as Stake, Livecasino and Duelbits are the only casino I verify my KYC.

Almost every casino will ask for KYC these days if you are gambling regularly for a decent sums of money

I always refrain from doing kyc at new/minor casinos even if they have secure assistance like sumsub
For the bigger sites like shuffle etc i would feel little bit more safe as they have very low incentive to sell user data and have the resources to handle it securely (probably)

Ofcourse things like Data leaks/hacks happen and no data is safe anywhere, but if you have to gamble in 2025 u must be ready to share KYC , so why not do it at places that are well established and less likely to misuse that info

There’s no point in gambling in a regulated casino if we’re not ready to comply with KYC. Maybe we’re enjoying it now because they don’t require it yet and we’re too confident that they won’t. But think about this scenario: you get lucky, you win a huge amount, and then suddenly they ask for KYC. How would you feel if you lose that chance to enjoy the money just because you didn’t see it coming?

Well, it's on their TOS before we sign up so, we have signed up willingly and agreed to the terms that they have.

And that's why we have to entrust our data to them and whichever they ask from us, we have to comply. Because if we're not going to comply then, we know the consequences.

It's a trust between them and us, and so we have to trust them with our personal data whether we like it or not. If you don't like to, we're free to stop using the casino of our choice.

It is to be expected as an essential requirement these days, even if a gambling companies does not necessarily have to validate these documents it gives them a small obstacle that stops people withdrawing the first time around. If a company is any sort of decent jurisdiction it will be a mandatory requirement for them to check this sort of document - both for age verification, making sure you are from a country accepted in their terms of service and to make sure that every user is unique with one account. That being said, you should be very careful and probably only want to hand over these sort of documents to very well known companies because of the reasons you've given, this data is a treasure trove for hackers and they are always trying to get ahold of it.

No one is comfortable sharing their personal information, whether it’s with exchanges or casinos. But the question is… do we even have a choice? Not really. If we don’t comply, we won’t be able to play. Sure, there are casinos that let us gamble without KYC, but if you check their TOS, you’ll see they can require KYC anytime.

I don't mind anymore, I used to not like KYC requirements but I risk small amount of money anyway so I don't see any threat in sight for using casinos that ask me for KYC verifications.

Since this KYC verifications have become a big discussion on this forum I have never seen people passing KYC and getting trapped in a mess for doing so.

If people understand the pressure that casino owners are facing they won't discard casinos that ask for KYC verifications all the time.

It's not compulsory that you must gamble, if you're not willing to share your kyc data with casino platforms, then do well to find platforms that doesn't do that, or you just avoid gambling because we've seen many cases where casino platforms that do not require you doing kyc to register in their platform but at some point when you must have won huge amount of money with then you're required to do so. If you like your privacy there are certain sites you definitely should avoid, because this platform operates in a country where they are regulated and are signature to the AML law.

If you are not ready to share your personal data, you will have to avoid regulated casinos or better be ready to abandon your money for them whenever you have a balance and you are asked to pass verification. Most of the popular casinos out there now require KYC; they might not make it compulsory, but it's something they can ask for anytime.

For this reason, I have passed KYC with about 2 or 3 casinos, if I'm not mistaken, and I'm not ready to share it with another, which is the reason why I can only test new casinos, but I won't spend much time playing there in order not for it to lead to the stage where I will be asked to verify my account.

I have the same experienced with you OP when my casino gambling account Stake got blocked then asking the costumer service ask me for verifying not only document  ID but also must verifying post proof address until upload Bank book. I am really not comfortable what the regulation of casino gambling require KYC after our account get block without can't acceptable reason from that casino gambling, I remember well when my Stake casino account got blocked after winning parlay bet around 2k Doge coins recently Doge still price under $0.1.

I won't sharing my important document ID for getting back Stake account due have many document needed to upload, maybe if requiring only document ID without post proof address until upload Bank seems enough but that casino requiring many document if want get back Stake account.

Only non licensed casino offers a complete no KYC feature but the risk of getting scammed is very high so it’s not worth it all the risk just for the sake of avoiding KYC.

Casino like casinopunkz don’t ask KYC randomly without any valid reason such as ToS violation.

That’s the only No KYC level we can afford right now if we want to play safe but we can’t expect a total no KYC.

I fundamentally disagree with providing my personal data to such a platform because,
Firstly: we can't control what the personal data we provide will be used for, and in some cases, it can be used for irresponsible purposes, which could be fatal.
Secondly: if I join if the potential benefits from KYC are substantial, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist the temptation of the benefits I've described. If that happens, the first reason I've explained is meaningless. In conclusion, if you really don't want to provide personal data,
don't join in the first place.

I do consider giving KYC to the casino if they are worth trusting. Assessing their legality and reputation seems to matter a lot in choosing a casino to gamble with. We may say KYC is a cause of losing our privacy, but sometimes we have no options but to follow the rules. Or we stop gambling.
So the question is, can we afford to do that? If we have doubts in our minds, it is better not to comply. Besides, many casinos offer no KYC. We can choose them too, but it carries a high risk on our end.

That’s the risk, but if we want to minimize it, we should choose casinos with a good reputation and ones that are heavily regulated. Regulators check on them and will penalize them if they don’t follow the standards.

However, I think some casinos now don’t even store the KYC data themselves. They use a third-party service for verification, and from what I’ve read, the data is stored on an encrypted server. So I guess that’s better, at least the casino isn’t directly holding our information, and the regulators only deal with a smaller number of KYC providers, which makes oversight easier.

I once did KYC for a casino here in the forum and, true enough, I was redirected to another website.
I’m assuming that was the third-party processor.

I am not comfortable and i dont want to do KYC for the casino, but sometimes when I cant withdraw my funds becuase they are telling me that the amount i want to withdraw is high, I cant do anything but to do the KYC,

But, as long as i dont need to do that or if i knew that the casino will ask me KYC at first, i will search for other platforms.

KYC is now required in many platforms including casinos the only thing we can really do is reduce the risk by being selective about where we submit our data reputable casinos that operate under strict regulatory bodies are less likely to misuse user information because they risk losing their licenses if they fail compliance checks.

Outsourcing verification to trusted third party providers has become more common too and while it doesn’t make the process completely risk free it does add a layer of separation between the casino and the user’s sensitive information these companies usually specialize in data protection and use encryption systems to prevent leaks or unauthorized access. Still it’s understandable to be cautious once your data is shared you can’t fully control what happens to it if you strongly value privacy it’s better to stick to casinos that offer anonymous registration or crypto based platforms without mandatory KYC that way you avoid the dilemma altogether it’s all about weighing what’s more important to you privacy or access to larger bonuses and faster withdrawals.

There is nothing harmful about this if the casino are trust worthy, that's why it's important to make research about the casinos you share kyc with. I have heard stories about people that signed up on a casino site and few days after doing their kyc verifications they started getting unauthorised bank deductions, they got registered on scam casinos that started taking advantage and using their bank info

Most casinos avoid KYC to protect their privacy. But many times we see on different casino platforms that if any user faces any problem then at that time it creates various problems during withdrawal. At that time if KYC is not submitted properly then it is not possible to withdraw the user's money. So I think it is important for users to refrain from all these KYC because many times data or access is sold on the black market which can cause harm to a user. But in my opinion when you go to a casino, you must follow their various rules if they want your personal information then you should avoid them. There are many casinos where they do not ask users to do KYC for minor matters but only when there is a big problem then they are asked to do it. However, those who are experienced never reveal their identity but always try to maintain confidentiality.

Whether we want to or not means we have to do it because most casinos in Tos will obviously ask for KYC at any time to the player so there is no way around it if the casino asks for your documents.
Any centralized platform that has strict regulations then they will apply KYC whether it is mandatory or not which is certain in casinos there are still those who do not KYC in some casinos as long as it is with a small amount of activity.

Never ever do KYC anywhere. It does not matter what kind of service you think you need, you don't actually need it. Stay patient, plan your life in a way where you do not do KYC anywhere else. KYC documents are essentially the second worst level of providing things about yourself, things that you can't change. The first thing would be your DNA, the second thing is KYC data. The documents in question occasionally expire but your personal data is the same. This leaves ample room to get attacked by any number of ways. Keep your life simple.

1) If you need to exchange Bitcoin or altcoins, use a DEX or intermediary service or people.
2) If you need to gamble use a crypto only casino with a good policy about this (if they have one at all).
3) If you don't want to use a crypto casino, play in one but with the knowledge and risk that something wrong could happen and that this could lead to loss of some funds.

What is better: Lose some money or sell yourself out permanently to a third party?

People do not have honor, dignity or any principles these days. If they did, they would never agree to this.

You are a complete idiot. What you wrote is a very dangerous lie.

Honestly Im not super thrilled about handing over my KYC details to any casino but if its a solid reputable one like Stake or something Ive been using for ages I bite the bullet and do it because lets face it regulations are there to stop money laundering and crap like that which keeps the whole scene legit in the long run

The real kicker is the risk of data breaches Ive seen stories where casinos get hacked and everyones info ends up on the dark web thats why I only trust sites with strong security and a clean track record no sketchy new ones for me

If youre worried just stick to no-KYC options while they last heres a pic that kinda captures the vibe of dodging verification

What bugs me most is how some places demand re-verification for every big win or withdrawal like dude I already proved Im me once why the hassle again? Its overkill and pushes people away from regulated spots to riskier ones

Unfortunately, even if you remove the casino and all the "optional" services you use, your personal data has long since "leaked," whether officially or not. For example, in my country, when you fill out a contract with a mobile operator, you must agree that your data can be shared with third-party services, which, naturally, is used for spam. Theoretically, there are mechanisms to opt out of this, but in practice, it doesn't work. So, returning to your question, I'll say it doesn't bother me much.

I know that there is at least one, called Dexsport. They have been around for a couple of years (iirc they were launched in 2021) but I personally never used them.

Yes, there are still many casino sites that allow you to gamble with a certain amount of money without kyc. To be honest, I have been gambling on stake.com for a long time, I submitted my KYC documents only on this platform because I had a VIP account here and I used to get attractive bonuses there. And since they made KYC mandatory on their platform, they offered VIP members a good amount of bonus money if they did KYC. At that time, I completed my KYC here but I did not do KYC on any other platform. Because I can enjoy gambling without kyc on them, I gamble with the amount of money I can.

This is very annoying, especially since the data required to be shared is very personal, some even requiring a photo of yourself holding the data.
It's best not to do this, because no matter how good a casino is, we don't know what's happening inside or what will happen to it in the future. What's most annoying is that they ask for KYC with false accusations, such as multiple accounts. I once experienced this, but they couldn't provide any explanation or even proof of multiple accounts, and I chose not to play there again.

Thank you very much, have a wonderful week.

If I'm honest, casinos that require KYC personally annoy me, but if it's required, what can we do, whether we like it or not, we require it, but I prefer to use casinos that don't require KYC.

Sharing my identity with online casinos is really hard for me, because the rules in my country are different, especially now that the government detects personal identity online. There are sanctions for gamblers, yes, if I can avoid it, of course I will, if I have to, what can I do?

It makes sense to prefer no kyc casinos while they’re still available since they let you keep your privacy and play freely as long as you’re staying within your personal limits and using small amounts there’s really no big reason to hand over sensitive documents most players only agree to kyc when the platform offers something substantial in return like vip rewards higher withdrawal limits or exclusive bonuses.
The reality though is that the industry is slowly moving toward mandatory verification because of tighter regulations on money laundering and fraud so over time more casinos will likely require kyc before allowing large transactions or withdrawals still there will always be smaller or crypto focused platforms that operate under no kyc policies catering to users who value privacy more than perks The smart thing is exactly what you’re doing keep using trusted no kyc casinos while they’re available and only go through verification on platforms that have earned your full trust and make it worth the trade off with real benefits.

You have a point about this because it's not every employee of a casino worth trusting with private data, and this is why I always respect a casino that collaborates with a platform that works with the government in handling KYC, since there's a chance for penalizing every individual who breaks the rules. But, for better safety, I think it is better to use a platform like 2UP.io, which is a total no KYC gambling platform.

My experience with sharing personal data is that if I don't find a casino to be worth sharing my data with, I always choose not to use it, and the same applies to CEX.

Satofan was unnecessarily rude, but what you said is still very wrong. Doing KYC on any website, no matter how "trustworthy" you think it is, always carries some risk, because no platform is completely immune to hacks. And then there's issue with website selling their user data etc...

If companies like Ledger or major centralized exchanges have suffered data leaks, how can you be certain the same thing won’t happen to a crypto gambling site you’re using? You can believe that if you choose to be ignorant or gullible, but that’s another story.

A lot of us find ourselves in same spot. Not being comfortable with KYC requirements is a norm and I for one only had to adapt if I had to keep gambling on my favorite sportsbetting platform.
The worst is for those countries where a certain percentage of tax deductions is compulsory for gambling wins over a certain amount, they have no say as the casino could withdraw the taxes directly from the winners account or they are made to comply or risk losing their funds, confiscation, penalties or even arrest , since KYC requirements include personal addresses and other personal information.

I must say how difficult it is to comply to these KYC requirements sometimes because one would have to do same when registering on a new casino platform with same information and am sure if it is in same region, the information is linked easily to know a particular gamblers details in total.  That's some of the regulatory hurdles gamblers have to endure these days inorder to continue gambling and winning.

Is it this site that you are referring to? https://dexsport.io/

With what I see about the site, it is not decentralized but it has web3.

Or maybe I am wrong. Are there many nodes instead of the gambling site centralized servers? Also is the money not deposited on the gambling site just like other centralized gambling sites? With what I noticed just now about the site, it will have centralized servers and it will be in custody of people's money.

There are many sites today's that people said are decentralized but they are just lies. Examples include the exchange like Hyperliquid and Atserdex and many web3 gambling sites.

There's no such thing as "trustworthy". You always run the risk of having your data compromised, not necessarily because the casino does it, but due to an exploit whatsoever. Even exchanges have been hacked and caused huge data breaches that could be found on the darknet. A platform, whether it's an exchange or a casino, being trustworthy is quite irrelevant. Ideally, I'd prefer not to submit KYC anywhere, but sometimes it's a necessary evil, there are KYC-free alternatives, but they are not as convenient; I try to avoid it when possible.

I don't share my KYC information with casinos. I provide it to internet providers or banks, and I'm sure they share it with other companies as well. That's why sharing my KYC information with casinos doesn't bother me. I'm still bothered by companies that claim to protect personal information but don't, and unfortunately, there's nothing I can do about it. If anyone is uncomfortable with this, there are casinos that do not require KYC.

Most of the crypto casinos that i have used do not require kyc information for 'every' withdrawal. Many casinos would not even request kyc from their customers when they register their account. However, as long as you use their platform and if you did read their terms of service, you'd understand that you should be ready to provide kyc when and if they ask for it. And it is usually after a big win or if they susoect something about your account.

People share their personal data with centralized exchanges, some even pass kyc just do receive some shit airdrops, etc, and you are asking if they would go through kyc to be able to withdraw their money from a casino.

As for unscrupulous employees who will sell your data to someone else, this can happen anywhere. It could be mobile operators, online stores, various other organizations and services, sometimes even government agencies. In this regard, we already live in a risk zone. If you absolutely do not want anyone to see your data, then it makes sense not to share it if possible. You also need to understand that online casinos sometimes request data to make sure they are not dealing with criminals, or they do so at the request of regulatory authorities.

Yep, thats the one.


I honestly don't know, never really checked them properly. I heard about them from a friend who invested in private sale and he told me that they were decentralized, everything on the blockchain etc but I never really dig further.


True. I wouldn't be surprised if thats the case with Dexsport as well.

When casinos follow a KYC policy, they collect your identity, address &  other confidential information. Then, depending on the casinos policy &  your location, they may share that information with payment service providers, fraud prevention agencies or regulators. On the other hand, data protection laws like GDPR give you some important rights, you can ask the casino to tell you what kind of information they are storing, you can request that the information be deleted or you can ask them to restrict its use

However it is important to remember that not all casino policies are the same, there are some specific differences. If your main concern is about data security, there are some steps you can take to stay somewhat safe. First you should choose a reputable &  licensed casino. Additionally, using a VPN could be a very secure option. You could link google authenticator with your account to keep active 2FA and try to avoid doing KYC in risky places

It probably depends on the situation. For example, if I won an amount that I could consider a large sum, I'd be willing to submit to KYC, especially if the casino is a reputable one in the crypto space. If I'm able to provide it, then why not? I would do it for the sake of the winning amount that I won from the casino.

However, if I'm asked for KYC and then also asked to deposit funds in exchange for the withdrawal I want to make, of course, that would be an immediate red flag for me.
This is because others here know that this kind of style is just a tactic used by scammers.

I don't think anyone is happy to share their personal information for KYC. But in many cases, people are forced to agree to KYC because there is no other option. Just as exchanges have strict rules regarding KYC, casinos are also now imposing strict rules for KYC. So if a gambler wants to start gambling with big funds, it is better to do KYC first to avoid any bad situations later, because at some point the casino will definitely insist on doing KYC. Everyone wants to keep personal information private, but that is not always possible in the current situation.

Many of the casinos make KYC verification mandatory especially those reputable casinos and a lot of people like gambling on their site because of their reputation so it is difficult not to do KYC. Not that am happy with the idea of doing KYC on those gambling sites but if we look at it from the other side, it is not the fault of casinos because they are just obeying regulatory compliance in order to prevent any crime related to financial frauds such as money laundering. I think if there were no KYC, there could have been a lot of irregularities on gambling sites.

At one point, it becomes inevitable even with crypto casinos too, so either I should accept the KYC requirement or stop using the crypto casinos and I have already done extensive KYC on exchanges so I chose to do with the reputable ones.

If possible, I want that no-KYC crypto casino culture to be back again.

Nobody likes to share their KYC inform with casino especially the ones you don't trust. There are some casinos that you like that could make you to do KYC verification due to the money you have with the and the steady rewards you are getting from them. Some casinos are fun to use and because of the luck you are getting from the casino, that could make you to try and do KYC verification to continue having fun on the casino.

And that's abusive as fuk because they can delay this process and make it as difficult as possible for instance by demanding documents to be translated.

I tend to stay away from places that require kyc and even had to forfeit some small wins when they demanded me to send stupid stuff like my photo holding a document. With what ai can do right now, you leave your documents and videos online and sooner or later there will be deep fakes of you circulating in the Internet.

Most of the licensed casinos these days are already requiring KYC from their players, and since you can't avoid such requirement, better play in reputable sites or just select few of those trustworthy ones where you really want to play with. Don't just hop one casino from another and fulfill their kyc. You are putting your credentials vulnerable to third party sites. Also, most no-kyc casino these days are quite suspicious because it would take time to prove their sincerity and trustworthiness. I am not saying that don't play on a non-kyc casino but be cautious. Because most of them are not licensed and you don't know to what extent they will be trusted with big amount of money.

Most of the time we try to distance ourselves from KYC meanwhile we are giving our KYC with or without our notice to different platforms but when it comes to giving with our consent we tend to be scared of what they are going to use it for, from experience traveling through airports your data’s can literally be exposed so all this about giving KYC is just mere human behavior trying to cover what’s not covered personally, I could give my KYC as long as it’s important to me.

I believe that here in my country, Brazil, there have already been countless data leaks involving the population. The most recent leak basically exposed almost everyone. Phone numbers, documents, email addresses, absolutely everything you can imagine. So I no longer have any fear of sharing my information with a casino, a website, or whoever it may be. Obviously, when I see that it is a serious service, a serious casino, a serious website, I provide my data and that’s it. Everything has already leaked anyway, so what can I do?

I don't find the KYC process welcoming on casino platforms, just that they require it in a way that one cannot do anything else than to give it to them I had an experience somewhere around last month or two months ago, when I was about making withdrawals from a casino site, the next thing I saw was that the withdrawal was withheld, and shortly an email was sent to me for account verification, going through the link, I found out it was a request for KYC process. Being in a situation where the money was needed, I had to do it, but it took almost a month before the process was granted.

An account can be in a watchlist of a casino platform, the user will not know until the time for withdrawal, that's when it will pop up on restricting the account for verification and stuffs.

I don’t think anyone will like revealing their identity to casinos, but most casinos are always requesting for KYC right now, some will ask you to submit it even before you start making use of their site, but some casino sites will ask you to submit your kyc whenever you win big and you trying to make withdrawal, so if you are in a situation like this, you won’t just have choice than to submit your kyc.

When you submit your identity on sites, the website might be hacked, and your data will be stolen, and also your identity might end up been sold by employees of the company, just to make additional money, so when submitting your kyc, always make sure you careful, and make sure you avoid sites that do request for kyc as much as you can.

Casinos that require for such as strict compliance for their withdrawals is always not welcoming but most times when they ask for it, its always in a situation where it necessitates you do it or you risk losing your money. It is their own way of making sure that people don’t misuse their services which is also fine. Casinos should have more strict structures to be able to know cheaters from the system and not requiring KYC from those that are just in their gaming activities and then doubting their ways since most times they’re not even sure when asking for the KYC. Our personal data is not safe with them since they can be infiltrated and maybe sold to the black market.

This should be the key word for people who still have a phobia for giving their details online. What you should be concerned with mostly is the reputation of the casino. If it is a new and unknown casino, I can understand the fear because there is no much trust, but when it is a casino that has been in business for a long time, and has built up a good reputation for themselves, is there any need being afraid? I do not think so. People who are also afraid about sharing their data with online casinos need to understand that it is not something new, but something that has been happening for a while as long as casinos are concerned so maybe that should help reduce the fear they have.

I don't mind sharing my data when it's for a truly valid reason, like making a withdrawal or leveling up in VIP, for example.

But, if it's for something unnecessary, then I prefer not to share it at all.

I understand that this is important for the casino, but if there's no need, it shouldn't be required. I've seen casinos asking for KYC right when creating an account, and I would only continue if I really wanted to send my data; otherwise, I wouldn't even proceed.

KYC actually beats the purpose of anonymity which is primarily why people prefer to place bets using crypto friendly casinos. Now that they could ask you to prove who you say you are, using gov issued identification, it beats the whole purpose of remaining anonymous. Sadly, it's not that your private details are also in safe hands whenever called upon by the casino to prove that you exist. Your data could been seen by numerous parties and then sold to even more people willing to purchase such information.
It's best you play with reputable casinos so perhaps issues that could require your ID and stuff wouldn't pop up in the first place. Perhaps it's not something you can run from forever while playing with an online casino.

Centralized casino doesn’t offer anonymity same on centralized exchange that offers you trading of crypto currencies.

Crypto currency doesn’t offer anonymity anymore if you want to use services that has license to operate because it needs to be regulated by the government.

But you’re right on how the KYC destroys the anonymity feature of crypto.

I recently experience providing my KYC on a certain site (local online betting platform) and after some days, they called me for verification.  I was like wth, I told the caller that I have provided my information on the website and submitted the needed requirements and got approved, why calling now?  I told them that the call should be done before approving the verification process, and I wanted to tell them that their action is suspicious, but I prefer to be patient and listen to what they are trying to convey.

I understand why the casino needs to have KYC of their user because it is required by the regulators for AML, but I think it is overkill if one needs to comply with KYC for every withdrawal.  
 

As long as the casino is a reputable one I have no problem with the KYC documentation process. I submit my KYC documents to most financial services app that I use and also to a crypto exchange. Yes there is that big “what if?” Well I can’t answer that which is why I then to focus more on what I can control which is my up to date security knowledge and extra measures to stay safe online. There are other options for non-KYC casinos just like 2up. io incase one needs recommendations.

It is a very personal thing and it depends on the perceptive of each one of us. In my personal case, I trust casinos with my personal information, in the same manner I trust technological giants with my data.
But there must be some like drawn so they so not abuse of that information, I mostly draw my line so I trust casinos which have a long history in the market, a good reputation and liquidity and are regulated in several jurisdictions around the world.

If a casino has a very good liquidity and profit, then they would have no reason to sell our information to keep their business afloat. The same cannot be said about small and unregulated casinos, which would hand over personal information for extra bucks.

There are risks when sharing personal data through KYC with casinos, but the only thing we can do is trust them. We should also choose a casino with a good reputation, and never had any problems regarding data leaks. Personally, I have performed KYC with several trusted casinos, and fortunately, so far, I haven't had any issues. Furthermore, I suspect casinos are reluctant to force their users to undergo KYC, but we know they are forced to do so due to the rules, or regulations. Essentially, I wouldn't have a problem with it as long as they can maintain trust, and if the intention is for the greater good. Cmiiw.

There is a level to which I wont share some certain sensitive information in the name of KYC to a casino. I have my limit to document I can provide for them.

Lucky for me, most of the casinos I am using to bet on, only request for few information's like my phone number and email for verification while others request for paper document. But not all document should be provided for them. That is my own opinion on this topic.

I have different account on multiple gambling platform but I never experienced submitting KYC in any of them maybe because I’m not gambling excessively and using only a small bankroll when gambling.

I’m only using few reputable casino so I’m willing to do KYC if asked without experiencing any uncomfortable feelings due to my long time exposure on their services without problem.

The only I will not undergo KYC is on new casino that ask for it immediately right after a few deposits or win.

Who comfortable sharing their personal identity! But that's the rule, especially if you're a high roller. I personally only perform KYC at one online casino, no more, to minimize future risks. And even then, I only do it at casinos that I consider reputable. However, I'm only a small-time gambler, and most of my gambling activities still allow me to withdraw winnings, as they're small amounts.

To be honest - I am not comfortable with the casino terms and conditions especially the KYC issue. I really doubt the security of my personal data there in the long term - even when the casino tries to reassure me in various ways. They say personal data can be deleted at a later date - but who can verify it has been deleted and we are all just trying to believe. Therefore - I don't have accounts at many casinos for the sake of personal data security, unless the casino no longer asks for KYC.

Perhaps if it weren’t for regulations, casinos would also be reluctant to create additional work by requiring KYC from every visitor. I think every official casino has a fairly good security system, and they must also comply with regulations to protect user data. So I feel quite comfortable doing KYC, even though in basically, if given a choice, I wouldn’t want to do it. I agree that all of this is for the greater good, as a matter of regulatory compliance.

Potential leak of KYC  is always there since even popular brand sometimes experienced exploit and I believe some casino experienced a leak of personal details in the past so there’s no casino can assured a complete safety of KYC records.

This is the risk we are taking when undergoing KYC on various casino and this concern me too since some of the casino in the past that I do KYC turn into scam or makes their reputation poor.

I don't think anybody likes submitting their KYC data to any casino or sportsbook. Personally, I try to stay off KYC checks for as long as possible. But eventually, when it becomes situational or when push comes to shove and there is no other option to get around withdrawing a huge profit, I will do it. I have met people that often vow that they'd never submit kyc to any platform or provider often folds whenever it becomes a mandatory action.

If there's no need for it then I don't submit it at all.

Stake.com (Stake.us for users living in United States) do not allow people to gamble unless they get verified. Even before someone that just registered can deposit coins or fiat on Stake, the person will need to first get verified. But Stake remain one of the largest crypto gambling sites. So I think some people like to get verified.

Several situations reports are being made accusing casino for not keeping personal data private, sometimes information shared with many casino are not safe but, I’m not trying to generalize the situation obviously casinos with good intention are still out there. Personally why not avoid casinos requesting for KYC first if you’re not comfortable with it, many reports as such sharing customers data is the major problem why information will forever be kept private from casinos meanwhile few gamblers are into the system so they can easily differentiate between genuine and fake casino, other than the fact a reputable casino will not disclose any private information about customers.

Every Casino has their rules and regulations that guides them, there are Casinos that require KYC while others don't. So for anyone who is not too comfortable with sharing their personal information online it's better that you avoid Casinos that will tell you to do KYC on the long run either as a result of your winning or other reasons. It's important that before you use any Casino for betting try and find out if the Casino is requiring KYC or not.



KYC is fast becoming an issue because, almost every Casino is getting your personal data and this is something of concern . because trust is one thing that doesn't come easily. security is one vital thing that should be of concern , the reason for people trying to object into the idea about KYC.

It's standard procedure; it's a safety net; it's not exclusive to casinos. You cannot cheat casinos and get away with it. Before flagging you, you have a chance to defend yourself, and KYC is one of the ways to do it.

How sure are you of this scenario? If you have concerns, then ask the support about how protected your information is on their platform, but a reputable casino, based on their license, will protect their users' credentials, so play only on a reputable site like Stake.com, so you will have nothing to worry about your credentials

The thing there is, there are some persons here who can willingly share their data to  gambling platform's or casino's without bothering who the casino or gambling platform is going to share their data with. and there are also some set of persons here who can't willingly give out their data to  platform's or casinos, because they like privacy and they care a lot who the casinos going to share their data with, but the thing there is some gambling platforms and casinos has preserved that people prefer and enjoy gambling on  platforms that is kyc free so for that reason a lot of gambling platforms and casino's are now writing on their platform that they are kyc free platform's why they are not, they are just writing those things on their platform's just to attract customers which does not make sense, and I don't see any reason to be miss informing people that they are kyc free platforms why they are not, and this behaviour a lot of casinos and gambling platforms are doing it, although at first during the registration process they can give you that benefit of doubt not to request for kyc, but when you want to withdraw your wins all of a sudden they will start requesting for kyc before they can allow you withdraw your money which is very bad, because they are not being genuine.

Exactly, if the casino has a good reputation, is well known, and usually pays out winnings correctly, there is nothing to fear. I believe that if it were up to the casinos, they would simply let you connect your wallet anonymously and play, but regulatory pressure forces them to ask for documentation. I think that is acceptable, and I am not afraid at all to provide documents if the platform has a good reputation.

I'm not actually that comfortable sharing my data with third parties, but this is now the world we are in. It's no longer something you can decide on unless you don't want to gamble. Some of us have sold out our privacy for the purpose of enjoying whatever is the reason why we use the casino, be it the fun or the possibility of making some extra cash.

While I don't like to share my data but when it's needed, do I have an option to decline? I don't have but mostly, as long as the casino is reputable, I think that they know how to take care their user's data and this is very common. But unless they have been hacked, that's the hard part starts when they were not able to protect our identities and they're being taken by the hackers. It's now the most vital data that they have after the funds that they have which are the bad actors are after. So, just like the funds they have, it also has got that monetary value.

It's a bit of a hassle to follow the KYC process. Sometimes a platform's KYC process isn't that complicated. If it doesn't require too many personal documents, it's not really a problem. Even if it does, and the platform is already quite reputable, it's not a big problem. So far, there's no problem. Although, there are certainly concerns about data security (if only photo ID is available). But if it's already been taken over by the platform, what can we do? Nowadays, unfortunately, we have to verify everything. But specifically, we must be aware of the type of casino that is being used.

For the past few years i've been using casinos although occasional, i never send KYC info yet to any crypto casinos, except on locally licensed casinos where it get basic info such name and birthdate, but no ID verification too. So if i'm asked to do so, it depends on the platform, the number i use the casino for me to continue. So in simple words, i'm not very comfortable to do share those info unless i'm in desperate situation like my funds were hold or frozen there due to KYC requirements.

KYC now seems to be mandatory in all legally operated casinos. Not really, they need more documents to verify your account, which is not a complete hassle for us.  

We can say it is not a problem because we have also done it for other platforms. In the same way as these casinos are doing. In the other word, we're immune to such a thing. We may disagree with this action from the casino, but we also think that they are doing this following the order set by the regulatory board. Therefore, it's up to us if we comply or not. They are not forcing us as well.

Honestly, to me it is kind of impressive how you say you have managed to use casinos without providing any kind of KYC verification, specially with how tight regulation has become lately with all authorities within several counties pushing for regulations with make more difficult for people to access gambling and financial services in an anonymous way.
Obviously, it would be kind of dumb to send one's information to a casino which one would barely use, but if there are frozen funds involved, one feels in need to clear the situation out as fast as possible, in order to get one's money.

Right? I'm very selective on what casinos i will be regularly using, although i registered so many casinos already due to different reasons this includes giveaway requirements, campaign applications, etc. but i only choose where i stay the most. Because if the casino requires me to provide even basic information such as full name on the registration process, i automatically declined and won't continue the process, it's a mandated policy of mine lol.

If you say every withdrawal, then I don't agree with you cus I've not come across any casino that will request kyc verification from a gambler upon every withdrawal request the gambler places, if a casino finds any suspicious activities from an account and that account happen to win big, they usually will request kyc verification from such gambler but it's only for that time, if the gambler managers to pass the verification, they don't request another during another withdrawal request.

But aside that again, it's not like we have a choice as gamblers, casinos will always find a time when you either have to submit the personal information or lose a significant amount of money to request for kyc verification, if you refuse to submit the required documents, they will not process your withdrawal, so, many gamblers even though they do not like the kyc stuff will have no choice but submit it so that the casino can process their withdrawal that's hanging at that time..

Actually, fulfilling the platform's KYC requirements isn't a problem. While some may find this complicated, it's at least for your own good and safety. As long as we know the casino has a good reputation, they're not asking for personal data to misuse it, but rather for our own safety and comfort.
Therefore, we must be careful when choosing a casino to avoid choosing the wrong one because they ask for KYC to misuse it. You're right, once you've completed the KYC requirements, you can't get them back.

And there may have been cases of people being scammed after completing the KYC requirements on a platform. This should serve as a guideline for us to avoid simply fulfilling KYC requirements; we should do our research first.

Certain gamblers may also aggressively protect their identity, so: Only bet an amount you can afford to lose, including funds frozen by the casino. lol

Retail gamblers are sometimes satisfied with small wins. Even if they withdraw their winnings regularly, it won't trigger KYC regardless of where they play.

I'm not sure whether or not I'm comfortable with it or not, it depends on myself because in the end in this case we must realize that for now KYC can indeed be said to be one of the requirements for us when we want to do gambling on several sites so in the end of course this becomes an undeniable situation later if we still want to do gambling then we must be prepared to do the rules where KYC cannot be separated just like that.

But on the other hand because this is indeed an option in the end we are certainly free to choose whether we still want to participate in casinos that do recommend KYC or look for other site options that are still free of KYC because until now there are still several KYC-friendly sites that make choices in your own hands.

But I personally still do KYC for some of the sites I play because even though it may interfere with anonymity but in the end I don't want to give up the sites and accounts that I have played for a long time so I do KYC on them.

I think this question is a personal one, as I personally have no issues with KYC when withdrawing from online gambling platforms, especially if the site's reputation is unquestionable. However, if the gambling site is relatively new, I wouldn't dare do so.

Countries that legalize gambling usually have quite strict KYC regulations to prevent money laundering, so I respect major gambling sites that require KYC.

I don't like sharing my personal information on gambling sites at all, so I try to avoid all those casinos where KYC or important document submission is mandatory. I am gambling with good intentions, but I don't want to share any of my personal information. Maybe I shared my personal information on such a casino site now and in the future I found out that I have to face harassment due to submitting this document, basically thinking about all these things, I always stay away from submitting personal information on casino sites. All the casinos where I am currently conducting my gambling activities are quite reliable but their KYC submission is not mandatory, so I will gamble in all these casinos until they make document submission mandatory.

I have to be careful sharing my personal data for KYC. I don't want to share with the wrong casino and put myself at risk. I also need to be careful when playing gambling and not engaging in suspicious activity. Casinos can ask us to do KYC, with or without withdrawal so we need to search for the right casinos. If we can have the right casinos, there is nothing to worry about and we can playing gambling without fear. So far, I don't have a problem sharing my personal data but I am still careful. I don't want to be rushed but will make sure the casinos are safe.

If a casino requires me to provide personal information that I consider excessive, I skip the process. Why would the admins need my passport details? Why would they need it? Do they need to know my age? Perhaps. But that definitely doesn't work for me. There are already too many people selling personal information online, leaking their databases for a fee. I constantly read about information about clients of this or that resource being leaked online. This is fraught with consequences. It's better to think twice than to make hasty decisions.

There are also crypto casinos now that don't require identity verification (for example, I have one in my signature). Deposits and withdrawals of cryptocurrency are hassle-free.

To be honest, the most annoying thing for me is this KYC. First of all, they can block your withdrawal with any excuse. On top of that, there is the privacy aspect. I myself have been harassed by a casino site. When I went to withdraw my winnings, they asked me for KYC. Not only KYC, they made me do 3 step verification. Including my home electricity bill. Which seemed very annoying to me. On the other hand, it takes a long time to withdraw in fiat. All in all, it is on my list of favorites, a full crypto-based casino site without KYC.

I don't think there's any responsible gambler that would willingly share his or her personal data without requirements from the casino, it's not possible because sure thing can only happens when you are being told by the casino. So in such situation you have known option than to stick to their rules and regulations because failure to do so, might likely result to being band from using the casino.

I consider this to be arbitrary behavior on the part of the casino, as information is being coerced from the user in a unilateral and forced manner. Meanwhile, users know absolutely nothing about the individuals behind the casino. Casino scams are not uncommon, and as a casino customer, I would very much like to obtain the KYC of the casino owners so that I can gamble with confidence, knowing I won't fall victim to a scam. And if I do, I can hold the casino owners accountable, knowing their KYC. But in this world, things "work" quite differently.

Although, in essence, this KYC initiative comes from the regulator, and the casino is forced to comply.

Two things bother me about KYCs:
- I don't know who will have access to my data and how they will use it.
- I'm "forced" to complete this procedure, otherwise I won't be able to access the resources I want.

In general, a KYC in a casino is fundamentally no different from a KYC in any government agency, from which this data can just as easily be "leaked" (which has already happened in some countries).

I've never gone through this procedure and I strictly avoid casinos that require it. But the danger lies in the fact that KYCs can be requested unexpectedly.

In my opinion, this is pure discrimination, as those who don't complete the KYC procedure are denied access to the casino.

Not everyone feels it nice asking people for their personal information or identity simply because they want to gamble and especially if the casino in question is a crypto casino, it’s a bit understandable when the casino is the regular casinos, but crypto casinos should be known for maintaining a customer’s privacy and ensures they’re anonymous. I see no reason to request identity verification after winning huge sums when they didn’t ask it when he was making a deposit.

If the casino immediately requires KYC to make a deposit, then I prefer another casino that is more loyal to customer anonymity. If they require KYC to withdraw large winnings, then I will have to go through verification for this. But this is an exceptional case, whereas usually small amounts can be withdrawn without it. In general, of course, no one likes all these checks. After all, they were originally introduced by the authorities to monitor and track people's transactions. This was explained by tales about supposedly protecting the safety of people's funds and other lies, as all governments usually do.

It is almost impossible these days to see a casino that would not ask for personal information when you want to withdraw. This is applied mostly when you win big. I am not comfortable with sharing some personal information like my location and bank details with a casinos. But if the win is big, I might have no other option than to give them what they need to claim my big win.   

The thing that must be considered is that it is normal for casinos to ask for our personal data (kyc), but before that we must also be able to see and consider that the casino that asks for our personal data is a casino that has a good reputation value that does not have elements of fraud or bad reviews, because I believe the purpose of this kyc is also for the safety of each player himself.
I occasionally come across casinos that ask me to fulfill kyc and everything goes well, I haven't experienced any strange events in terms of kyc and hopefully never will.

To be honest I am not comfortable with sharing KYC data with the casinos, even if it were not required I would not have done the KYC verification myself at many casinos. However, unfortunately, while playing at some reputable sites, I later found that they require KYC verification to withdraw, in which case I have nothing else to do except to do the KYC verification.
And what you mentioned has already happened. I don't want to mention names, but the data of a reputable casino was leaked, and is being leaked constantly now. But for now, we don't really have anything to do with the Anti money laundering law.

We share our data everyday with lots of people, why we must care about casino? My data have at least: few banks, few government services, two mobile operators, several delivery services, several online shops. And, of course, several online casinos. Do you think that chances that casino will share my data is the maximal?
Today you can choose between your data safety and comfort - you can don`t share your data, but you willn`t use bank cards, delivery services, mobile phones, etc. Choose your way in real world.

A lot of people also keep a scanned copy of their passport on email, because they have sent it once to travelling company when they were organizing vacation. People share their real name/surname/mobile number/email and sometimes address, when random people ask them on the streets to pass questionnaire, to participate in a moment lottery (that tells discount amount) at shops. People often leave personal info and mark that they agree to receive promotional info, after receiving service or register at online shops (and they use strange shops, only because it offers $1 cheaper price). People share their private info so often, then it makes me wonder why some of them are so against KYC.

I have explained what I wrote earlier, I meant that there is tendency that all users will have to make KYC once but for any amount. So lets say if someone  wants to withdraw 20 USD and 30 USD worth of crypto in two separate withdrawals, he will have to do KYC once. And he'll have to have to do KYC in order to withdraw anything. As I already said it is trend that was made stricter one month ago, when I somehow triggered KYC on bc.game for less than 20 USD withdrawal. And I used that site for years, never had any problems. Now I'll just leave the funds there until I figure out if there is a way to withdraw funds without KYC

Most of the licensed casinos these days are already requiring kyc from their clients. For me, it is better to ask kyc at the start, rather than at the end. Because at least you already know if you passed their kyc protocol or not, before you reach to the point of withdrawing your money. And that means, you are also ready to withdraw anytime that you want. And not when you are about to withdraw, that you found out you are having hard time to complete their kyc because they are asking too many details from you.

As someone whose data is no longer private because the banks have if, the schools I attended has it, the exchanges has it. The government departments has it. I don't see what else that I need to hide, I don't have a problem is submitting my data to casino for kyc purposes. I believe all they want to use it for is to verify if I am genuine. But what I don't like is submitting my data every time I want to do withdrawal. The inconveniences is just what I don't like. If it is once quarterly or annually I won't oppose it.

People often fear sharing their KYC data information with casinos but not only casinos entirely and having that kind of fear is natural and the reluctance usually comes from past bad experiences,data theft,misuse, surveillance, inconvenience, and untrustworthy operators.Some players are uncomfortable with it because they feel monitored and they fear uploading their documents just to play which entangles themselves with risks in the long run.

There is no reason to be nice to people who write dangerous lies on the internet. The reason why we have so much misinformation on the internet is precisely because they are not being executed by a guillotine. This is the dark side of free speech, any idiot is given a platform to spread their medieval level education to others. Other idiots then to support them because their own ego is under attack when someone else's stupidity is exposed.

People who are pro KYC are some of the biggest retards on this planet. Not a single person or entity can be trusted with this kind of data, they all get hacked. There are no exceptions. Some get hacked fast, others get hacked slow but eventually they all get compromised in one way or another. The best way to keep yourself safe is to never submit KYC. Life could be simple if we didn't have retards like rachael9385 who are spreading misinformation everywhere.

Using crypto itself does not necessarily provide anonymity, so this claim is incorrect. Most people who have or use crypto are 100% identifiable, and most are trivially identifiable.

There is a certain logic to this, because otherwise the risk of not passing verification and losing money already deposited into the account or won is much higher. However, if you leave your details at every casino right away, and most likely never win anything there, then this also carries a high risk of personal data leakage. And by the way, even if KYC is passed immediately upon registration, this does not guarantee that with a large win, the casino cannot request additional verification data. So...
It's more a matter of personal preference. There probably isn't a single better solution.

I personally don't really like it when casinos ask for my ID to verify my account, because who knows how that personal data will be used or secured by the platform. But most casinos now enforce KYC for their users, so whether they like it or not, users are required to comply with these requirements if they want to continue playing on that platform.

However, some casinos, like Betpanda, don't enforce KYC for their users, only requiring it when suspicious activity occurs. I personally prefer playing on sites like this, at least if I'm playing and not violating the terms of service, I don't need to submit my ID to verify my account.

I do not feel at ease submitting my KYC information to casinos. Once you hand in your documents, you have no choice who will use it, or whether it is safe or not. Casinos are free to freeze your account and leave it without any reason, that is why it can be difficult to trust them.

I will just do the KYC of large established platforms and only when necessary. Mandating KYC on each withdrawal is excessive and contradicts the privacy that crypto gamers desire.

Most of reliable gambling sites are following order by the regulators in their area. So majority of them are always putting KYC as mandatory for their users. If you're feeling bad with it, just deal with the offshore gambling site, which doesn't require you to verify your identity.

However, the chance to be scammed is pretty high compared when you're using a reliable site that comply with regulation. We're all don't like to be forced in verifying our identity. Nevertheless, If it's for the good, i don't mind it.

You could say yes, KYC is necessary for verifying many factors, but ultimately, we're the ones who will be most scrutinized in the event of a possible hack A data leak can make us Vulnerable to all kinds of attacks,  I don't feel comfortable doing KYC , but I'd be furious if I didn't do it and couldn't withdraw my money.

Yah, I would stopped using such platform if they require KYC on every withdrawal. It would be a huge red flag that it is a sign that they don't want you cashing-out and just keep playing until you lose your whole balance.
Fortunately for me I haven't experienced such thing, I only had 2 kyc twice when i had a 5 times cash out.

It's prohibited that your personal data will be shared to people unknown to you, So that's what we should know, if it's possible to share our data to people, universities, especially people who works in departments of Registrar, would have  share data of many people, including people who works in customer service in the bank, would have shared our data...The only thing is that we should be careful on some of the casinos we verify our details, any operating casinos that doesn't have licence, be careful to verify your documents with them.

There's always this dilemma for everyone: trading security for comfort and convenience, because one thing almost never goes hand in hand with the other. We always end up having to choose, and you pointed that out very well. But I think that today there are already solutions with decentralized casinos that can be a much better option, don't you think?

What's the need to always submitting KYC verification to every withdrawal on a casino platform, that's absolutely a trap to get hold on a winning where a verification would not be successful, a successful one time verification is needed to always withdraw out profits whenever a betbis successful.

When it isn’t a do without, you don’t really have a choice. It’s the terms of service you agreed to and as such, you’ve got to play by the terms when required to. That doesn’t mean I’m all comfortable while sharing my private documents to casinos just to pass KYC. It doesn’t matter if the casino is very reputable, they could be hacked and staff of the casinos could go wrong, leading to compromise and that’s your documents on the line.
It doesn’t matter come with a great deal of discomfort alright but, one you can try if you would like to play.

Not really that comfortable. That is why I stay at the casino I prefer the most. Besides, it is not necessary to enroll ourselves in many sites when the games are just the same. If we are already satisfied, why not stay there? The more sites we visit and register, the more KYC we do.  Unfortunately, we are not aware of how they use our information.

Of course, we never hope it falls into the hands of people who have devilish plans, but we can't simply ignore it since we never know what they will do next. 

I will try as much as possible to avoid casinos that require KYC, and casinos that have quite strict rules regarding withdrawals, but still, every now and then I will definitely provide my personal data to the casino, I am forced to do so because of the withholding of funds at the casino, if the nominal amount is small I will ignore it but if the nominal amount is large with a heavy heart I will provide KYC information

I did it only with the most trusted casinos, even though it’s never 100% safe as long as your data is shared. I believe that some of the trusted platforms are using the instant KYC review and verification with auto erasing of all the documents you have to upload. We don’t have a choice as long as the platform rules and terms of use are clear and strict, it’s also possible to play with No KYC casinos, probably with the same features and same security over your funds.

I personally play with platforms that requires KYC protocol when they suspect something wrong or bigger deposit, but so far it’s been a long tine since I had to upload any document, having some deposits at least once a week without worrying about the KYC thing.

Its not that people like to be verified, its that they don't think about what are the drawbacks and the dangers of doing that. At least not until they get screwed (and even then many don't learn their lesson.

Am I comfortable with sharing KYC data with casinos? Absolutely. I mean, it's not like I would be comfortable with that if only online casinos were asking for my data, but living in a world where everyone, small shops, medical centres, post offices etc are selling my data to whoever they want, in that world, yeah, I'm comfortable with sharing KYC data with casinos. I even think it's a bit safer to share my data with them than with some organizations I'm sharing my data anyway.

Exactly. I live with thought that my data is stolen. The only thing i changed - 2FA or sms to confirm any operations with money.
Of course someone can avoid KYC, but he has to avoid all these data sharing, if he want to be honest. Ot it looks strange - to be afraid of KYC and the same time share your data for one day online shop.

If the casino is truly trustworthy, I think you shouldn't hesitate to provide your personal information, unless you're concerned about the potential for misuse or fraud. For example, if you win at a casino and you're unsure whether it's trustworthy, but the winnings are substantial, why would you still provide your personal information?

One thing to keep in mind is that many new online casinos are popping up these days, so before gambling or placing a bet, it's a good idea to do some research, such as checking the casino's reputation.

What about it? Is this a justification for doing something so stupid? You can manipulate people to undertake just about any decision and they will fight you to the death with the claim that they have made that decision on their own. Some people also like to do heroin, but hey that is randomly different and we can't use it as a justification for doing heroin?  ::)

You are assuming two things. Firstly that people have any knowledge at all about these matters. Secondly that they have a capacity to think about the consequences of complicated systems and scenarios. Neither is true. A person who understands these topics could never answer with a "I don't care" type of answer. This indicates that they don't understand the subject matter at hand. Now if you eliminate those that don't know anything about this, those that believe that they do with their coping answers of not caring and those that are unable to think deeply enough to deal with a matter like this you are left with what? 10% of the population? 5%? 1%? The situation of the modern society is much worse than pretty much anyone is willing to admit.

Nothing can force you to provide your data to any of those. The only things where you must provide data are essential services. For everything else it is only your stupidity that leads to the sharing of your data, nothing else.
