However, if I'll be asked KYC in the future, I have to say that I will not do it and it means that I'll not gamble again in Stake. It is simply because I am one of those who do not want to reveal my identity for gambling purpose.

I will also leave Stake.com if they ever force me to complete all the steps of KYC verification. My Stake account is almost 5 years old. Although they haven't asked me to complete the KYC yet, but they offered me to complete the verification in order to receive extra bonuses. The last time I received this message from them on 9th March. I hope Stake team won't make the KYC mandatory for the old loyal users.

We got the same email on my girlfriends account on the same date. It saying:

"Verifying opens doors for you:

-Increased bonus drops
-Exclusive promotions
-The safest way to play"

Increased bonus drops is what they promised last year ( by 10-15% ) and I only felt it was higher for about 3 months with my verified account. After that it clearly went back to normal. Now the bonus amounts have decreased rapidly over the past year anyway.

Exclusive promotions only means for example the twitter giveaways or stream bonus drops, also not interesting in my eyes.

"The safest way to play" I don't understand. With stake's history of being hacked I don't see it "safe" to be verified.

It would makes sense for example that if you lose your login or want to change something you can verify yourself with your ID. But if that happens they want you to provide everything in the world, just not your ID. They even want to know your normal login IPs, screenshots from wallets where you made a certain deposit from a certain date, and so on. 

So where it makes sense they are not asking for you ID to prove who you are.

I participate in the daily Slot hunt and I like to play the Gamomat games, but they are buggy af lately.... It will load up to 100% and then just hang there until infinity. Someone suggested that I switch currencies and then start it again and then switch back to the original currency, but it is not working.

Do anyone else have an alternative solution for this problem? The Gamomat games are nice, because they have a turbo spin feature and seeing that the Slot hunt is time based, it is best suitable for that.

If indeed you don't want a bonus with the conditions for completing verification, then you don't need to worry about completing the verification.
Because so far I have used Stake.com and there have never been any problems regarding KYC and of course we can still rely on Stake.com as our favorite gambling platform and we can continue to be loyal customers there.
I myself have never won a big win and made a large withdrawal too, so I don't know whether later when making a large amount of withdrawals I will be asked for KYC or not because almost several casinos did not use KYC at first, but when a customer made a large amount of withdrawals they invoke KYC requirements for the withdrawals for more comfort and trust from both parties.
Hopefully in the future stake.com can always provide the best for each of their customers and continue to be a big, trusted casino.

In another casino to ask for withdrawal $2000+ it requires KYC but here someone has confirmed asking for withdrawal of around $10,000 without KYC
So you can take a comparison and don't need to worry especially because you say you are not a whale gambler but in the future no one knows
What is clear is that this rule cannot be avoided, we can look back since stake.com was launched slowly KYC applied.
Currently KYC is only to claim bonus drops maybe in the future KYC is needed to claim weekly/monthly bonuses

Currently KYC is only to claim bonus drops maybe in the future KYC is needed to claim weekly/monthly bonuses  

It may hay happen in the future, since KYC is now mandatory for new account (CMIIW).
So what you think may happen as well that there will be KYC requirement to claim all bonuses in Stake.
Of course I'm not really worry about it since I've completed level 2 verification sing long time ago but it will be sad if level 3-4 verification will be required to claim all bonuses in the future.

New accounts only need KYC level 1 and it just completes the form even they can fill anything there I'm sure they will agree to these terms
My account has also been verified level 2 here since last year so no problem, it's just that I see some of the users above really don't want this rule
obviously this would be a difficult choice if implemented while I haven't looked at other casinos as an alternative I mean in bonus offers and promos.

There are some old loyal members who don't want KYC rules for bunos claims and they will switch to another casino if the bunos claim requires completing the KYC stages, so the perception of KYC is very sensitive for some members for privacy reasons but they might only complete level 1 KYC if The casino does not ask for proof of ID or other documents to be uploaded

If the users are not claiming the bonus then there is nothing to worry, most of the time they wanted to make sure that the giveaways are not abused by multiple accounts and there are not much trusted casinos in this space to switch them every week as majority of the regulated ones will be asking to verify yourself before playing especially the fiat ones.

Even if it's a reputable casino, There's no guarantee that your information is safe but at least the resistance or security they have against hackers is high compared to other casinos. I didn't know that stake was breach last year, Did Rollbit bought the hacked data from stake and took advantage into it or is rollbit was also compromised by the hackers? There's nothing that is unhackable nowadays, The type of security tightness is what separates them from each other. Imagine government websites and databases has a history of hacks, What more on casino where there are a massive monetary value that can be stolen. This is why most of us hates KYC since it's one of the possible targets of casino hackers.

Well that's a fair point, but i am quite certain that they need to follow EU's general data protection regulation for European users. Meaning that at least european users would have "right to erasure" (to get their personal data erased by request) if you start to feel uncomfortable that they will be online forever. I am not a lawyer but that's what i understood from GDPR docs.

I am a lost case as my ID is most likely already compromised. I've shared my KYC to some seriously shady ICOs back in time and i am sure that my IDs are part of some darknet sale.
If not icos, we had huge security breach with one medical center in here and all the userdata was hacked . That at least got out there.

Let's say KYC is now a requirement, where these users you are referring to will experience the same bonus as what Stake is giving especially in their VIP program? I don't think there's another crypto-gambling site that is close to what Stake is giving to their users especially loyal ones regardless if these players are winning or losing much.

I'm sure KYC might be mandated in the future, due to hard and strict regulations for any crypto-related services, to claim these bonuses. But even if that happened, I'm sure most users will comply with it especially if they are really actively playing in Stake and already established a high-tier level account.

Let's not think about it yet and just enjoy the no-KYC experience here in Stake.

I am also level 2 verified there and it is just basic requirements like National ID or a driving license and this can increase the bonus claims you do compared to just level 1 KYC which anyone can fill anything there but they should not,they should put real data in the KYC 1 level so when it comes for them that they want to upgrade to level 2 KYC they have it really easy,they just upload their documents which match the name provided in the KYC level 1 verification.

However to get really nice bonuses in Stake you need to be playing constantly,the more you play the more you get,there were many people complaining about low weekly bonus today but people who have been playing really big got like 166 EUR as a weekly boost and that is no small amount,I got 0.29 Eur because I don't wager much  .

Even he can find a VPN with acceptable country.

Any new account right now on "Stake" need to passed "KYC". If the KYC are from restricted country he still gonna to be rejected and stake are gonna to refused him playing on their site.

Unless, he also have ID bought from the country VPN he was using. Off course it's just like putting a gun in his head, in-case there has some problem.

Before 2022, there was no such requirement to fill KYC 1 details, now it is mandatory for new users and they have made new benefits for verified Stake accounts. High rollers usually don't hesitate to fill KYC level 2 to protect account  but this has some downsides as well. Fake ID is worst idea since they can ask for re-verification anytime with selfie or recent documents.

Going through KYC verification with a fake document is one of the worst mistakes any gambler can make, doing this will not only jeopardize your account, but also the fund in it.

I want to believe that it's only pleb players who would take such risk, high rollers who I believe to be serious minded players wouldn't want to try submitting a fake document for KYC verification, as I believe that KYC verification for casinos is not the same for cryptocurrency exchanges, once verified on crypto exchanges, you may never be asked to go through the process again, but for casinos, it is not the same, there is a possibility that in two to three months, a high roller would be required to pass verification again, depending on their wining and withdrawal ratio.

will not rely on that too much, because it can back fire on you, if you use a VPN. Some third party Slot providers "block" certain countries from access to their slots and it is not done by Stake.com. So if you bypass these restrictions, you might offer them an opportunity not to payout large wins. (They look for technicalities not to payout large wins)

I agree with you that when you lose or win a small amount there is nothing to research about who are you. But when you will earn frequent or large amounts they will try to investigate who are you and at that time if the trace you from a location that is not allowed or multi-account or broke any rule they may suspend the account and also for big wins they may not pay the winnings. And it is still a valid reason for not paying.

Yes, I understand that and indeed in the future, no one knows how we will become gamblers.
But here I will give a little of my thoughts on your response.
If Stake.com currently provides KYC requirements for a drop bonus then it is at their discretion because the drop bonus is obtained for free and only requires KYC requirements and is different from the weekly or monthly bonuses that stake customers can claim when they have have a high enough wager amount that their account reaches the VIP level at a certain rank.
At the VIP level it's also not easy to win because each user must meet the wagering requirements that have been determined and require a large amount of money to bet to increase the wager amount.
So it seems unlikely that a weekly or monthly bonus on Stake.com will be subject to KYC requirements because the bonus is a right and a form of appreciation from Stake.com to loyal customers who have managed to have a top ranking account.

"The safest way to play" I don't understand. With stake's history of being hacked I don't see it "safe" to be verified.

So where it makes sense they are not asking for you ID to prove who you are.

I think stake could be hacked in a hot wallet type of situation, but the KYC could be a third part which means that the problem if it ever gets hacked would not be because of stake, but the company they work with.

On top of that, I understand that you may not want to do KYC, but you have to also understand that if they ever force everyone to do KYC one day, which they may be forced to do eventually then that means they accept the fact that they will lose you and they will move on with the ones they have. I personally shared it long ago, I had an account since the first day, and I had one at primedice before this, so I have been around long enough to prove that I am legit, and yet I still shared it.

Yes, it doesn't matter if the user doesn't want to claim the bonus, just verify level 1 to be able to bet on Stake.
I agree that maybe Stake has regulations requiring KYC level 2 to be able to take the bonus, because Stake is one of the largest gambling sites and has very many customers and possibly has level 2 verification regulations to avoid bonus abuse.
We all know that bonus abuse is common in gambling and it's only natural that Stake has those rules.
Because Stake also provides a very large total bonus and wants the bonus to be taken by the right customer to get the bonus.
If there is no level 2 rule, the customer who is supposed to get the bonus may not be able to take it because the bonus allocation has been used up by another user who abused it.

I gotta say, I totally agree with you that KYC requirements for weekly or monthly bonuses is not necessary. These incentives are intended for devoted clients who have put in a lot of effort to reach the VIP level standards. But let's not forget that other gaming establishments, like as Stake.com, have put in place comparable procedures to thwart fraud and safeguard their patrons. Folks, it's just basic sense.

Nevertheless, I recognize that some players might feel awkward disclosing their personal information. Who wants their personal information to be public? Online casinos must therefore balance security and privacy while making sure their customers are aware of their policies. And let me tell you, if Stake.com can offer a clear and simple KYC process, it will only grow its consumers' trust and loyalty.

KYC policies will always remain a point of contention as even if deep down we know that as this market becomes bigger and more popular more and more regulations will be introduced, some of us still like to keep some level of privacy, so casinos are doing the best they can to keep everyone happy, however for the whales and high rollers remaining anonymous while they gamble is impossible, as those are precisely the kind of customers governments want to monitor.

We can also see and understand that until now Stake.com has never asked for KYC requirements for the weekly or monthly bonuses they give to their loyal customers who have reached a VIP account.
In fact, I would like to emphasize once again that it is unlikely that Stake.com will ever make such a decision or KYC policy for such a VIP level bonus.
Looks like Stake.com has also proven that they can indeed be trusted and are able to provide comfort and security to each of their loyal customers so if KYC is needed for us to be able to withdraw large amounts of money or chase other drop bonuses that have to be verified I don't think it's thing to be afraid of.
Stake.com is already a big casino and has a high reputation so why are we hesitating and afraid.
