Good morning everyone

Long time lurker first time poster here.  Work in IT and very familiar with IGaming, Cryptos and the whole scene.  I hope you don't mind a few hard questions (I am, after all, a Sceptic4u Smiley)

I have been following this thread and also the BaB site for some time and have played and invested on the site in the past.  The site seems very successful. I'd like to invest more and take a significantly larger position but a few difficult questions come to mind:

* I notice very lax KYC and also very very lax geo ip blockage of restricted regions (for example logging in from a USA IP gets a mild warning and no geo blockage)
* Only accepting BTC deposits (which are fully traceable by Elliptic unlike XMR for example)
* Zero due diligence on new accounts with seemingly unlimited deposit limits
* Reporting insane volumes from some players who seem to cycle through massive volumes of BTC and result in little or no profit, often breaking even.  Junya5805 for example.
* Loose licensure, Curacao gaming license which is virtually meaningless (right up there with Kahnawake), no apparent attempt to get a real license from a legitimate jurisdiction
* Seemingly no concern about accepting and distributing enormous volumes of BTC that may have previously been used for illegal transactions
* Volumes much larger than similar sites (who actually enforce geo ip blocks from restricted countries, like RocketPot.io for example)

This all screams "honeypot" to me.  I hope I'm wrong but I believe this is a legitimate concern and I want to ensure my investment is legal, safe and legitimate at all times.

Any thoughts?

Thank you

Sceptic4u
