Reasons why people avoid KYC in gambling casino ?

[Fredomago]

so as much as possible, submit kyc only if you think it is necessary. a lot of casinos don't ask kyc up until today. just don't break or violate any of their ToS. in case of big winnings, weigh if it is worth risking your kyc if the site asks for it. are they reputable enough to trust your private info? only you can tell how confident you are to a given casino. but much better if you don't need to submit any form of kyc to these gambling sites. if you feel your privacy will be compromised in the future, and you're not up for it. then simply don't give them the vital details.

Weighting how big your winnings against your KYC i something that a gambler needed to decide, after all if you are a not a fan of KYC it's better to use a small amount of money to play, if luck permits you to win and you are in the process of withdrawing your funds, again it will be a decision that only you and the condition can decide.

If you don't trust the site and you are willing to let go of the amount of money that you win, you always have lots of alternative platforms to use.

It's been observed that gamblers prefer to play on casino which do not enforce KYC. Well, let's discuss what are the main reasons that they do not want to show their identity and gamble anonymously.

They don't trust the casino as the casino might misuse the kyc documents or the gamblers want to gamble without telling anyone that they are the gamblers,  gambling is illegal in their region or religion and they want to hide their identity or there could be any other solid reason?

I'm one of those who don't really like KYC, my only reason is that I don't want my identity to be exposed by the security forces in my country because gambling here (my country) is illegal and players can be sentenced to prison. so far it can be counted on the fingers on any exchange or gambling site I only do KYC and of course, the reputation of the platform must be good.

it's not the only reason, there people who don't wanna provide kyc because they're underage or they don't want to share anything about them to the internet, and for me I don't use websites with kyc because there are other trusted websites that don't require that and they have the same features so why bother go through all that process.

[JollyGood]

I have a golden rule which has a zero compromise: I will never send KYC to any online website. Simple.

For others that feel the same whether it is gaming/casino or an exchange, they face a dilemma if they are being asked for KYC after they have funds that are not being allowed to be withdrawn.

The fact is it is all too common to read about websites on the dark net that are selling KYC documents. Some of them have been sold and re-sold many times by criminal gangs that only have nefarious purposes in mind.

I would feel sorry for those that are trying to withdraw funds from casino or gaming sites but they are being told Terms and Conditions mean they will not release the funds until they receive the documents.

That's a valid reason. Regardless, even if you don't undergo KYC, it's a big risk you are taking as gambling is illegal there.

If gambling is illegal there, there are ways that someone can track you doing gambling. Authorities are prepared with that.

Please be careful bro. Even using VPN won't save your ass in a country where gambling is illegal.

[n0ne]

I don't want to reveal my identity. Another thing I fear, this can bring legal issues. I have lost big, and one day even if I make big money through my profession people will connect it with gambling. I don't want this to happen, because it isn't bad but the hardwork I did doesn't reflect me and the luck will serve as my Identity.

Some users are not comfortable with sharing personal documents on illegal gambling websites without a proper license. Getting license from Curacao is easy for average businessman and gambling platforms can use this info for their own advantage. I personally don't want to see my documents on the sale lists of dark websites. Other players use the crypto gambling platforms from restricted regions thanks to VPN but whenever website aka gambling site management catches them they will not agree to send personal documents for obvious reasons.

Even if it was a very huge company with plenty of trust gained.

People still tend to refuse to do the KYC for privacy and security reasons , you wont feel secure once your documents uploaded as things around internet are never safe , sensitive data like the dox are the most wanted one for those privacy stealers, people will never want to do the kyc despite the purpose are for security reasons ... it gave us insecurity instead.

Well, I believe it has always been the anonymity that always matters in cryptospace.
That would be the main reason why these people chooses to gamble with cryprocurrency because it does not require any financial information like linking your credit and debit card into your account, it doesn't require your very basic infor either.

[len01]

gambling is illegal in their region or religion and they want to hide their identity or there could be any other solid reason?

in my country and my religion actually prohibits gambling but that's not the reason why i don't agree on gambling sites using kyc, because i play gambling just to fill my spare time and don't need to fill in personal data. on the other hand for me filling out kyc on gambling sites is very vulnerable to theft of personal data for misuse. just for me.
but there are also gamblers willing to do kyc just to get more bonuses from the gambling site

[Wind_FURY]

Personally, I avoid KYC because I have no idea how they store that data, and if it gets compromised I will not feel comfortable knowing the hackers have all my personal data.

For me all this KYC situation looks like an excuse to avoid paying the customers. It's sad but that's how they use the KYC nowadays

I believe not entirely. They're required by the government under the rules of their gaming license, are they not? There MIGHT be some casinos who might be using KYC as an excuse to avoid paying some customers, but cheating customers is not a common mode of operation.

Wasn't Bitlucy a victim of an exploitation of their welcome bonus which took some amount of their capital? I believe KYC would have helped them there as a form of protection from multi-accounting.

[gagux123]

Well, I also agree with what some users said

I believe that without KYC you can have more security and privacy for gambling, another point that also deserves to be highlighted is that, I believe that no one would like to have some of their personal data/information leaked from a gambling platform that was invaded.

I believe that not performing KYC is a defensive way for the user to protect himself and not expose his data to a third party.

However, that will not stop people from gambling because they can enjoy gambling. That's what makes them return to gambling even though in your country, gambling is prohibited. People who do KYC just to gamble must have thought about the risks and could accept them so they continued verifying their accounts. But on the other hand, people who don't want to do KYC will look for casinos that don't have KYC verification so they can gamble freely.

They don't trust the casino as the casino might misuse the kyc documents

This situation is impossible in established and trusted casinos. The KYC process is performed by a trusted third party, and the gambling site itself can't steal your personal details. But, of course, scammers are doing it all the time. Do not register on shady platforms.

That must be tough for you to gamble your identity in exchange for that KYC needed by the casino, I surely hope that you won't be exposed because the sentence could be heavy if you will get caught. You made the right choice for taking that risk in a reputable casino so that your information is not in a risky situation where it could be leaked if that casino gets hacked.

[Tumanggor]

I personally don't have a big problem with KYC

the reason many people avoid KYC is because of security, I agree with that, but the KYC required by big gambling sites is just a formality

so that as long as you do KYC on a trusted platform (not shady one) then your personal data will definitely be safe (but this goes back to the views of each user)

In general, when AI knows too much about you is frustrating. And i wouldn't like to share my info with any site, no matter whether it is casino or an online shop.

But there are some services you will not access without KYC, that is why most centralized platforms are using KYC to nail down they customers, take binance for example. Nobody can access the exchange without going through the KYC process.

[BITCOIN4X]

The two reasons in the quote above are a few things I can think of, but since gambling platforms are a lucrative business and also require a license they also have to comply with the applicable laws of the government where the platform is registered, IMO.

Privacy reasons are the most common, so it is also the reason why one does not want to spend his time on a gambling platform that requires him to complete KYC.

When Binance added mandatory KYC I simply moved to another exchange! It's not like they are the only crypto exchange...

I don't like KYC, and I will avoid it whenever I can. For me words like decentralization and freedom have some weight, it's what crypto should be all about! So why KYC?! All services can find another way to fight against abuse. Luckily we still have, and I believe we will always have, places that are full crypto!

On the time that Binance asked out some KYC then i did make out some transfer on Kucoin but eventually i did come back on using Binance which it did really convinced me to verify myself
because cant really just deny that Binance is having that kind of functionality and overall UI/UX which is something that you cant really see on any platform which it do really make
it great and cant be beat out easily thats why despite of such changes even though i do really give importance on anonymity but it did really convinced me and
do make out some exemptions on this situation but well its a personal preference so its up really to someone on how they would really be dealing with it not only
on exchange platforms but also in gambling casinos as well.

Yeah, nothing online is safe especially if it is related to crypto and finance. That is the reason why gamblers refuse to send personal documents to verify accounts, it is understandable considering how shady things may happen if the site got hacked. The purpose of KYC verification is simple: Gambling platforms wanna know who are you and whether you break T&C or not. If the user is from restricted areas and using the website illegally, this information can put the platform license under question in the long run.
