Are you comfortable with sharing KYC data with casinos?

[vanesha]

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

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 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.

So I think some people like to get verified.

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.

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.

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.
