Do online gamblers think about their privacy and anonymity?

Why would they do that if in the first place they can implement the system before the user won a large chunk of money. There is nothing wrong in implementing KYC though.

For some reason, there are some users who dont like gambling platforms that require players to complete KYC documents because they want privacy. However, they can avoid it if they really dont like it. If a site wants KYC from every user, then they have to say in the rules before someone win a bet and that is what I often hear. If they want KYC in a situation where someone wins the jackpot then I think this is just a different attempt from the site to verify the user and what the site is doing can be considered wrong.

That's why i use cryptocurrency gambling sites because it requires no personal data or KYC and any gambling site that requires it is a red flag for me.

You're correct, most of these cryptocurrency gambling platforms allow their gamblers to gamble without Privacy but in some of these cryptocurrency platforms, they demand for KYC before you as a gambler can gamble on their platform which to me is a good one; because of the laws of the land. Government have their rules and regulations guiding the gambling industries and whenever any platform flaut their laws they get license withdraw. Due to this, many cryptocurrency gambling platforms now allow KYC for their players whenever they intend to withdraw their winnings while some before the play.

Personally, I do not want my identity to be known when gambling, and I usually try to use services that do not require authentication. As I am already gambling for pleasure, I usually gamble with very low amounts of money, and therefore I do not encounter authentication problems when withdrawing money in the event of a possible normal win. I also want my identity to be unknown when gambling because I do not trust such services too much and I do not want anyone to know that I have earned that money in case of a possible big win. I am sure, many people think like me and pay attention to such factors when choosing services for online gambling. Anyway, I want to ask you this question. Why should we both deposit money and provide our identity or passport information to these services where we usually play games for pleasure?

I am playing gambling on the site which doesn't use KYC, so I don't have to try to verify my account. I feel that it is related to my identity, and I don't want to send or give to the website which I don't think that is important for me. I guess that if we are playing gambling, that means, we want to have fun with the gambling games, and we don't have to do KYC, no matter how much we deposit or withdraw the money.

Same here, I choose a gambling site that allows me to gamble without KYC.
When I was new in crypto most of the casinos here does not require a KYC, so people get used to it and they would always choose a site that gives them full privacy and anonymity, and I think for a crypto gambling site to be profitable, they need to give the demand of their gamblers.

I guess that if we are playing gambling, that means, we want to have fun with the gambling games, and we don't have to do KYC, no matter how much we deposit or withdraw the money.

I think the amount do matters because if a gambling site is licensed, they are regulated by a certain authority and there are rules to be followed.
personally I am not fully aware of the TOS of the gambling site I'm playing as my style is just to gamble without reading the TOS since if  my account will be lock, I can still make a new account again, meaning I don't risk a lot of money that I can't afford in case my account is lock for whatever reason.

Majority of gambling sites are anonymous and they will only ask for KYC for verification, that is one of the advantages of playing online your information is confidential but if a gambler is going to play with huge amount he should make sure play with online gambling site that has a good reputation.

That's the reason why it is much safer to gambling online because of the security that they can give to you, so as much as possible, during this quarantine, gambling online while there are a lot of people who are accessing online than physical casino. We all know that physical gambling casinos are prohibited due to the threat of the virus so never hesitate to go outside because it is not allowed. Gambling anonymously is really beneficial most especially that there are a lot of scammers and hackers online so it is much safer for you to play with that.

Especially when you are playing with huge amount of money, by that, you can spend money how much you want without worrying about your wallet and account. Plus, a gambling site with a high security will really increase its reputation to those customers who want to be safe in gambling casino.

I think if we stay at the same gambling website that we used to play gambling, the site will not use KYC because I see that maybe the new gambling site which will use KYC. The old gambling website will think about their members, and they will not apply KYC. But if the old gambling site uses KYC, I think we can still search for the other gambling website, and I am sure that we can found one or two sites which not used KYC.

That is why I always avoid the gambling site which uses KYC because I don't think I will need that. We can create a new account if they lock in our account or we can search the other gambling site to play gambling. I don't take too serious about that because I think we can easily to playing gambling in any gambling site without thinking about KYC or not.

And all of the services.

Will be asking you a KYC went your money or winning a big amount on their platform. Went you meet this situation they will ask you to do a KYC for a reason "Identity Confirmation" with a few reasons even the Casino offering an Anynoumous service. Care or not went you have a lot of money on the casino and need to past KYC before you can withdrawal the money. You will be still doing a KYC on the casino, why not everyone does not meet this problem cause they gamble with a small fund more proof you can find it on the "Scam Assumption".

Know your customer policies are slowly making their way on this market and it is completely understandable because as bitcoin becomes more powerful governments are going to want to regulate it even more, however I can understand that casinos could ask for more information about you if you have won an important prize on their platform however many shady casinos use this as an excuse to not pay you claiming that you did something wrong when you tried to verify your identity with them, and this is so common that people over time have developed an even bigger dislike for these procedures.

The main reason I choose to gamble on crypto-gambling sites is because of Privacy and Anonymity.

No need for bank deposits as a mode of deposit, therefore, no need for self-verification, ID's, personal documents, and many more.

I really care for my privacy so this is freedom. But I do understand that while crypto is evolving and becoming one of the popular payment methods out there, there might be an event in the future where the crpyot-gambling site will require KYC. Reputable sites are regulated and part of the regulation is being centralized. The fact that we need to accept in the future if we want bitcoin to become a medium of transaction.
