To what extent do you chase anonymity while gambling?

[$crypto$]

I guess you are right, crypto and fiat based casinos are now almost the same as far as gambling goes. In the last 4 years or so, regulators are coming hard on crypto gambling as well because it is being suspected that they are being use as a way to launder their money. And with that, almost all crypto based gambling require us to send documents, thus, there's no more anonymity which we gamblers love in the first place. So it's a dilemma, and either we accept it or not.

It has become their regulation and stipulation of government licensing that implements it inevitably we have to do it for KYC/AML but for now there are still some anonymity casinos that I use to play while there is still a chance for this I will not move to other casinos so I'm just following the fun with anonymity only.
There are other things that I prefer crypto transactions and payments to fiat because maybe it's a habit and love.

Hey guys.
Choosing crypto in casinos has always also to do with more anonimous gambling.
Anyway I'm curious how important is anonimity to you when you pay & play?

That depends on many things such as on the overall environment and situation, mainly.

If I want to keep my funds safe, from a legal standpoint, then I would not trust a third party like an online gambling casino without a strict KYC and regulatory entity controlling their every move and looking behind their shoulder. Otherwise any casino could just claim whatever they like and take your money for whatever reason. And then you would have the trouble of convincing anyone that indeed the money belongs to you. So obviously anonymity is not worth it, in such a decentralized place.

But if you said there was a decentralized gambling casino that does not run on trust but on blockchain verification, then obviously I would want to keep my anonymity.

The issue of anonymity in gambling, including online, as it seems to me, will be more important for some players to make a profit, but this will mainly concern public personalities. For a simple user in online gambling, the fundamental thing is, first of all, reliability and security with respect to his funds, so here everyone should make a choice between anonymity and verification.

Someone do really take security as a serious matter thats why they do really just welcome out on whatever changes that it would be applied or simply talking about KYC.
They dont really care as long they do know that they are dealing on a platform which does have some security for whatever possible things that might happened ahead.
So this do boils down or depends on how someone do really treat up about kyc verification or something correlates to that.Anonymity is what we do love but there are
indeed some parts which would really be that not possible to happen in towards or speaking about full security.

[_act_]

but with this behavior? you are only making your self prone from addiction because you are the only one who sees what you do In gambling , not like if there are others who can observe your activities , then advises may come for you to learn what comes good or bad, so better to choose what action to do and whom to follow.

Because someone do not like to gamble in an open place where people can see, that does not mean the person is an addict. I understood you, but some people can lose large amount of money in such gambling places too, but it would reduce addiction if compared to online gambling site. I for one too do not like to gamble where people will see me, I stick to my mobile phone and computer to gamble at my home in a way nobody knows that I am gambling, but people around me like friends and siblings knows that I am gambling. So it depends on who you are. If I do not see a reason for the public to know, but I just know that I shouldn't hide it from people very close to me.

if you are into gambling then expect exposure , you cannot Hide permanently as I have tried to hide for years in my family but in the end? they still find out.

though In online game? there are chance that we can hide but once the casino requires you for identification then your anonymous character will change .
and admit it , this is part of gambling industry now.

Maybe you make your family suspect what you do when you are alone or do nothing so they find out and maybe eventually find out that you often gamble. Maybe it's good if you tell them the truth so they can assess whether your activity in gambling is still in a stage that is acceptable to them or has entered a phase that requires their help.

I feel in the future, the government will pressure crypto casinos to implement KYC for their members so we can do nothing but look for casinos that would still allow anonymous gamblers to gamble in their casinos. This is because, at this time, we have seen several casinos implementing KYC so we inevitably have to think about it and make preparations if our favorite casino asks us to verify.

I learned my Lesson now mate and instead of hiding ? now I am open to them as they also made me realized if there are some mistakes in my decisioning not like in the past that I often become vulnerable in gambling and even losing everything I earn for a month.
now i can only enjoy gambling with their guidance and love.

Anonymity is very important for us players, especially for high rollers but even if we want to be anonymous in casinos, compliant with their license and where the online casino is operating will not let it happen, trustworthiness and compliant are two things that make casino operate without issues so we need to accept anonymity as part of our playing in a casino, but it should be when we are winning huge or when we are breaking rules only, not when we just sign up and play with a small bankroll.

It's great if you can learn from your lessons because not many can. Well, I hope you will continue to enjoy gambling and can give the same advice to people who may be having the same problem as you. At the very least, we can help them to solve their problems with their families and thus, they can enjoy gambling as much as you.

It's hard to admit what's wrong with us and it takes courage to reveal it to those closest to us. But you've done it and it's a good thing for you and your family.

when a person isolates himself in order to play at the online casino, this person starts to be anti-social, this person starts to develop problems of gambling addiction because he spends more time playing, for this person the only fun is gambling, he don't care about doing other things in the real world anymore and people like that are afraid to go out and play with other people, they feel ashamed and afraid to tell people in the real world that they play, that's why they don't go out and play with others people. I hope you are not afraid and ashamed to say that you are playing games of chance, there is nothing wrong with telling people the truth that you like gambling, just don't isolate yourself to play, this is the worst way

Anyway I'm curious how important is anonimity to you when you pay & play?

It's important to everyone to gamble privately and I'm pretty sure we don't want our private informations to be used by someone in an illegal activity. One of the purpose of crypto gambling is to become anonymous but since KYC has become a norm in gambling websites, anonimity in gambling has long gone. It's either we comply to those rules or find a different casino that won't require it which we know that is almost non-existent these days.

In fact, in practice with and implementation of KYC people are no longer anonymous and for that reason they don't need to hide from relatives and friends in the real world that they play in online casinos, nowadays everything is going to regulation, if the person doesn't get used to being someone transparent and who doesn't live on secrets and who is not afraid of KYC and speaking the truth then the person will suffer.

Some people would like to play as anonymous because they want to become lowkey to the things they are doing, not all the time having flex with their activity and name is not ideal we know the other mind set of the people once they caught their attention to the things they have there's a chance that you can find them easily and also regarding with the government such as the tax if your country has a huge tax regarding with the cryptocurrency and of course you don't want to let them get those peercetange of your hard work earning in playing.

[pawanjain]

Being in crypto, one thing I have learnt is how important is anonymity. Since we are using crypto with gambling sites these days anonymity can be achieved if we take the right steps.
The first and foremost thing is to gamble only on no KYC gambling sites which is exactly what I do.
The next thing is to use VPN or Tor browser so that we can add an extra layer to our privacy.

actually anonymity is desired by many gamblers too but the fact is that some gambling sites ask to complete KYC if they want to withdraw money from gambling sites and we can no longer hide to play on gambling sites now because it is difficult to do so nowadays, we all have to comply with the rules already created like the gambling sites I play on right now and only KYC on popular and big gambling sites not on new or unpopular gambling sites

[Kakmakr]

When I started in Crypto currencies... back when Bitcoin was just $300 per coin... anonymity was VERY important, because it was still illegal to own and use it. As time goes by.... governments started to define it as a commodity and gambling was one of the main uses for it. (still illegal in many countries)

Now it is 100% legal in many countries and online gambling are regulated and requires KYC verification ...effectively killing all anonymity. There are some sites that are not regulated and you can still gamble without losing your anonymity.... but they are getting fewer and fewer over time.

Is it important for me to be anonymous..... Yes, because pseudo anonymity protect your financial privacy and your Crypto wealth.  

[dezoel]

No not just someone but all of us want's to be secure because if not then we will lose our funds. Being anonymous might help to increase your security because when you're anonymous, no one can see your name and other details. This can also protect you from the annoying begs of the losers inside the casino.

I think KYC can make anonymity in gambling useless so you shouldn't deal with it if your goal is to be fully anonymous. I am a gambler which don't care at all about being anonymous and in the site that I am playing with, we can't receive rains or participate in some contest if we are anonymous, this is another reason why I don't use this feature on them.

[Porfirii]

We are talking about something similar in the Spanish local board, and we are quite reluctant to give up our data, because of so many vulnerabilities that we are seeing lately in different cryptocurrency platforms (not only online casinos).

This is our opinion in general, I think, but taking into account that a percentage of gamblers are millionaires, because of the risk that pose potential data leaks, it should be even less worth it to them.

Fortunately, there are still many KYC free alternatives in this crypto world we move.

[uneng]

For me anonymity is not an important feature anymore. With so much KYC demanded everywhere you need to adapt yourself to the environment or give up a plethora of crypto services and opportunities. In fact, internet isn't anonymous anyway. Some people have a false sensation they are hidden, but governments' agencies, especially from the world's potencies like US and China must have top notch technology we can't even imagine.

In conclusion, it is a lost battle, so better that you don't commit any wrongdoings online because you never know who is watching you and how they are watching you.

[lionheart78]

Is it important for me to be anonymous..... Yes, because pseudo anonymity protect your financial privacy and your Crypto wealth.  

This is one of the reasons why many people who prioritized privacy use cryptocurrency (other prefer Monero and other privacy coins).  They wanted to hide their wealth from the government.  May it be to avoid taxation or something else.

As far as I know, citizens are supposed to be transparent about their income to the government, that is where taxation plays since we need to declare everything in order for the government to get the right amount of money from us.  Being a citizen of one country, we have the responsibility and obligation to pay taxes to the government.

No not just someone but all of us want's to be secure because if not then we will lose our funds.

We can only lose our funds in a gambling platform when

1.  We lose in our gambling activity.
2.  The platform is hacked, or our account including our account security is hacked

KYC on casino is needed both for security and complying to AML that is implemented by the government.  Aside from the given factors, I do not know how KYC will make us lose our funds in a casino.  It is impossible for other people to use our submitted data to steal our found in a platform since picture and information will be different unless the perpetrator is someone inside the gambling management.

Being anonymous might help to increase your security because when you're anonymous, no one can see your name and other details. This can also protect you from the annoying begs of the losers inside the casino.

True but I think KYC doesn't function as that.  KYC is for the gambling platform to verify its user, not the user verifying other users.  Casino have an option to make your account name hidden or make it private and has nothing to do with KYC.

I think KYC can make anonymity in gambling useless so you shouldn't deal with it if your goal is to be fully anonymous. I am a gambler which don't care at all about being anonymous and in the site that I am playing with, we can't receive rains or participate in some contest if we are anonymous, this is another reason why I don't use this feature on them.

As far as I know, if the gambling platform follows the data privacy act, submitting KYC will not reveal your identity unless the platform is hacked.  They will be fined if they carelessly leak their users' data and may disrupt their operation due to negligence.  Aside from that, anyone wanting your information needs proper documentation from the authority.

Anonymity is very important and that is why data privacy law is adopted by many countries, but we, being a citizen of a country we have the responsibility to not cheat the country of our obligation of paying tax for whatever gain we have no matter how corrupt our government is.  Let us not use these privacy things to evade taxes.

If you are getting used to into those typical or traditional transactions on real life which do ask out those information and documents then you would really make yourself numb whenever any platforms

would be asking it or simply you are really that getting used to it which you wont really be minding about anonymity or privacy anymore.I dont really see something wrong on this one

as long you arent hiding something or doesnt have any issues then there's nothing you should be hiding on but there are people who do really give out importance of their identity
which they do always think about those exposed documents might be sold out in darkmarket or whatsoever correlates on that.

I am a person who has considered anonymity one of the rights that we should not allow ourselves to be taken away by anything in the world, but since I know the casinos and the entire security system and all the scams that have occurred, I think that this anonymity has already made me change as time goes by, I have seen that the trend is always to ask for KYC, when I realized that a few years ago Binance asked me for KYC to be able to give me support, it was when I realized that all the systems From that moment they were going to change to no privacy and it was like that, now things are very heavy with respect to it, but I think that little by little we will unfortunately lose our anonymity.

There are people who are not willing to provide important information just like you describe it people who are curious regarding to possibilities that the information can be sold online or can be exposed and be used for illegal transactions while for others who are discreetly participating with gambling they are also aiming for anonymity.

They are types of gamblers who secretly do this business. They don't want any traces or footprints of their gambling activities.

So from that point of view, they will not stay in one particular house but instead they will keep chasing for those who are still offering anonymity.

There's no more anonymity to us but its makes casino being safe . KYC is very useful to prevent many scammer in online world , many business and casino's put some security and take our identity to start working. Binance is one of a biggest trading platform that why they put KYC for safetiness. Only thing that we can do is to limit the money that we used and be humble always. Careful always and goodluck.
