I agree with the other comments.

Either they will do some sort of draconian KYC procedure on all users, or the bonus that they are offering is fake.

There is no other feasible way they can go about their business like this. It's just too good to be true if there are no wagering requirements whatsoever on the first deposit bonus...

Anything that do talks about too good to be true offer or something like that would really be likely to be a scam and they haven't able to clarify anything in related to this one which you could really be having those doubts and hesitance.

Anything that would really shows up something good specially into those offers should really be having that corresponding terms and conditions.

If they wont be setting out anything then its not really sustainable for a business like this and who would really be the one on having this kind of set up?

Is your site fully working? I was curious about the KYC and AML policy you have, I'm sure not all people are in favor of KYC if they are depositing and playing with cryptocurrency alone. When I open the KYC and AML policy the site says "Page Not Found".

Currently you are allowed to play without KYC at the casino. Our policy may change in the future, however for the time being, you may play without KYC.

I consider this a trap for those who do not read this post, on your page it clearly stated

ID
Copy of a valid photo ID such as a passport, driver’s license or government ID card. This must include scans of the front and back of the cards.
In the absence of a photo-ID, we can accept a copy of a birth certificate. The certificate must have all four corners visible. We will also need a photo of the player holding up their birth certificate, with their face and the front of the certificate clearly visible.

Then you are posting here that you can play without doing KYC, you should decide right away if you will ask for KYC or not, the TOS and FAQ are very important for players you should be clear on All your rules many gets into trouble because of too many changes of the casino's rule.

I suspect that these KYC and AML documents are not his, but rather that he has simply copied them from other websites or that he picked them up pre-made out of a template. A quick Google search turns up several gambling websites with the same content. It explains why the published content differs from his explanations here. It seems he did not adapt these texts to match the actual terms of his platform.

I consider this to be a serious red flag regarding the legitimacy of this casino.

and the prob up until now, though he was online reading all those posts pertaining to kyc, he has not addressed it yet. so why avoiding this important aspect?
so for those players who don't want to submit kyc, better avoid this casino for now. the op is not answering about this feature as published on their site. submitting vital info is not a joke as you are trusting the site to secure that info of yours.

It is a big red flag until he fixes this and made clear, we should cease playing here, we always recommend or reminds our friends to always check the TOS of the casino they are playing, in this case, what he is saying is very much different from his TOS, he urged players to break their own rule if this is a copy from other casino's TOP then he must log in to his Cpanel and edit it and he should do it asap.

I visited your site, simple and clean. The name of your casino seems to me like a place to hangout with friends, encouraging to play with friends, something like that.

Currently you are allowed to play without KYC at the casino. Our policy may change in the future, however for the time being, you may play without KYC.

We can play without undergoing KYC but we cant withdraw isnt it? Its in your TOS.
 

5.2 The Casino reserves the right to check your identity prior to processing payouts and to hold withdrawals for the time needed to check your identity. In case you provide false or incomplete Personal Data, the withdrawal can be refused and the Player Account terminated, of which you will be informed by email.

I guess they need us to verify our account, which means doing KYC before we withdraw the funds. If that is right, that will not be good for members as some of us does not want to do KYC just to play gambling. Some members do not want to send any document to a third party that we do not know with the right.

Maybe they need to explain more details about the KYC and the TOS to know if they really require KYC from their members. If that so, I do not think that many people will use that site to gamble.

Yes it sounds like a trap because he said players are allowed to play without KYC but it will be required to pass KYC when it comes to withdrawal. This is why we should always read T&C before deciding to play in any gambling site. Friends casino should be as friendly as possible like its name, I suggest them to remove the KYC requirement for withdrawal. They may reserve the right to ask KYC for special conditions only like what we usually see in most other casinos.

The KYC issue is not yet addressed and it's a big concern he is posting that you can play without KYC but on their TOS they ask for KYC, there is a contradiction and the contradiction is on the most important rule before playing in a casino, I cannot play on a casino that has a vague policy especially on a new site that has not to establish it's reputation yet.

[decodx]

Friends.Casino's website states that it is owned by New Wave Entertainment co. ltd. with registration number 216201 and physical location at 306 Victoria House, Victoria, Mahe, Seychelles. Google search shows many companies with this name but none that I could find with that address. Could someone please let me know if there is a Seychelles Business Register online where this information can be verified?

In principle, there is no contradiction in his statements and information contained in ToS.
He wrote that KYC is not required to play and that is correct. However, ToS says that KYC may be required. Probably this information is included in there for you to use in case of suspicion of money laundering. However, it would be good if it was clarified.

They can’t stand into that competition here if they are not that active, and yeah marketing campaign is the key to succeed just like the other gambling site here, they are one of the best now. This site looks good, and has a potential to rise as well they just need to manage this properly and do some good campaigns.

Every business, not only a casino, needs a marketing campaign to be successful.
I don't know if the marketing person at Friends.Casino knows the possibilities offered by Bitcointalk.
This thread was started 5 days ago and we have a weekend. Let's give them a little more time and I'm sure we'll see how they want to promote themselves.

[aioc]

OP is on a good start getting a copper account and a well-designed announcement, he really knows how to promote here in Bitcointalk but unfortunately, he fails to keep up, after you posted here people are going to review your casino and ask important questions before they start joining and playing, some of the important questions right now are the KYC but it's been 4 days that he failed to show up and answer this question and other important questions.

[Friends.Casino]

The website design looks great but it would look much better if you move the "Friends News" and "What's new" sections to a separate page dedicated for news and updates. Also, I would like to see an option to hide the "Ask a question" button. It's a bit annoying.

Since you said kyc is not required, is it OK if I register with fake information (particularly the phone number and location)? And will users be notified before you start enforcing it and will they be able to withdraw their money without verification?

What people can see at this moment is not final and I admit it can look a bit weird, however it will be fixed soon.
However there will be no separate page with news etc. according to our design.
Regarding the "Ask question" button - it is a good point, we will consider this in future updates.

As for your other question, KYC is not required for playing and registering, however it is a MUST if you withdraw funds. If you attempt to withdraw without being verified, you will be notified about it.                              

[Friends.Casino]

Thanks for your patience!

The social network feature will present a full fledged social media experience so people will be able:
-Chat with each other
-Make posts
-Look for friends
-Create groups and invite friends inside
-Make an avatar to profile page and create own nickname

We will also add an Events feature in which players will be able to earn bonuses for playing their favorite games inside their groups.

^ That is great and I saw there is an improvement in your casino. But would you mind if you also include the FAQ which is most gamblers usually do visit first before proceeding on registering an account? One thing that I need to have clarification, making a post that you mean is to make a post on the main page as I have seen there? However, your site is looking good but I have a suggestion if a dark theme is also applicable since all white will irritate my eyes. That is all and good luck, hope there is a promotion these days.

FAQ will be also added in the nearest time. Posts in the center of the main page belong to us and nobody will be able post there.
Every person will be able to see his own posts on his news wall inside the profile.
You can do posts there or inside Groups that you have joined already.
Dark theme is also coming soon.

Thanks for all your interest, we will reply to the other questions in this thread as well.

I believe this is a bad idea. This will lead to some users having their assets confiscated if they do not wish to go through KYC.

If KYC is mandatory for everyone, then you should require it from the beginning. Before the user makes a mistake and deposits money to your casino. Otherwise, you deceive players into thinking they can play anonymously, but in reality you are preventing them from making withdrawals without providing their personal information.

Thanks for all your interest, we will reply to the other questions in this thread as well.      

Try to combine your replies to a single post. It is not allowed to make multiple posts in a row.

The same thought came to my mind first. My guess is that such a solution was adopted in order not to scare new players away with the KYC requirement, but surely many of them will feel cheated. To avoid problems, you should either make this requirement for everyone or at least make it very clear to everyone who registers.

So KYC is mandatory. You can't say it's not, don't you think people are just depositing and play without any withdrawals?
Just say KYC is needed in order for the player to play and withdraw the account balance.
Pretty good website though, I see it improved.
