is KYC data on Gambling sites safe?

[pawanjain]

KYC data is a sensitive information and we must be really cautious when chosing to disclose it to any platform.
Many of the gambling sites turn out to be a scam which is why we must only give our KYC information to trusted and reputable sites.
As a precautionary step, we can read their privacy policy to know how they handle the KYC data but nobody gives the time to read those policies these days.
They simply give the KYC data without any concern and sometimes end up falling in trouble because of that.
So we should always try to stay on the safer side by only using trusted and reputable sites.

Firstly, this depends on the gambling website you are registering on. If you are planning on creating an account and staying loyal to a designated gambling website, then you should create on such website that is somehow reputable, given by the feedback of the people in this forum. I also recommend staying on casinos that have an ongoing signature campaign as it signifies that they are indeed profitable.

Second, avoid gambling websites that ask for KYC and they do not offer any kind of security. For example, lots of gambling websites nowadays offer high bonuses/privileges compared to others but the overall layout and design seems unfinished.

These red flags should be avoided and as a responsible person, the last line of defense falls on your decision.

As we know, many gambling sites have Kyc requirements when making withdrawals. Some people may not have a problem with this condition, but some people think differently about doing Kyc. Some people refuse to fill in their Kyc data for fear of being misused. That's a natural thing, but is the worry too much?

Kyc actually has a function to prevent dangerous actions, such as money laundering. In addition, Kyc can also protect customers from account breakers.
 
Now there are several gambling sites that do not require Kyc to withdraw funds. That's good news. But I don't know if big money withdrawal need Kyc or not. I've never withdrawn much money.

Are you one of those who agree or refuse to fill out kyc on gambling sites? So far, the Kyc that you have filled in on the gambling site is safe? I've never had a problem with the Kyc that I filled out at the gambling site. Have you ever felt cheated from Kyc submitted?

I will answer your topic title first that for me there is no guarantee that it is safe to sacrifice KYC on online sites even if it is gambling.
Henceforth I will answer that it all depends on each person they want to do KYC on gambling sites.
I myself did KYC on only a few gambling sites that I considered safe because the casino's reputation and trust has been recognized by many people and I will refuse KYC if the site is new and doesn't have good trust or reputation.

All casinos will always have the tendency to screw things up when it comes to KYC. Data breaches are occurring regularly and even huge companies with robust security systems are affected. I guess, putting trust to these platforms isn't the key but rather just providing information that you are rather comfortable in sharing. If you aren't a high roller, there isn't a reason to comply to a higher KYC requirements. Level 1 or level 2 would suffice for a long time and it wouldn't even be required most of the time.

Data breaches is something that cant really be known on where it would be coming, whether it would really be an internal leak or would really be having those kind of external exploits which it would really be causing those data leaks which is something that we can really be that so sure that it wont really be happening into us. This is why on the time that we do submit out any documents or personal info then it isnt
something that we could really be so sure that those things are really that safe. We know that tendencies and chances is really there. It would really be just that right that you should really be accepting
out on whatever possible scenarios could happen along the way.

This is why its never been that appealing on dealing with centralized platforms which do mainly ask out for KYc but for those who are centralized but still doesnt asked out necessarily
then we could really be having those reconsiderations on making use of them.

[khaled0111]

I'm not going to lie. Although I highly value my privacy, I've sent my documents to multiple platforms in order to complete kyc. I was kinda forced to do so, though.
Personally, I believe that the moment you upload your documents to the internet, you should consider them as compromised since no website/database is 100% safe.
However, you should not send your personal information to any random online service. Do it only with services that you trust.

I don't think KYC prevents anything to be honest, except money laundering and multi-accounting(especially ban evaders). But for the customer it doesn't give safety neither any benefit, because even in case of credentials loss, the customer could simply sign a message from an address used for a deposit or a withdrawal, in addition to his email address, in order to prove his identity. But if a dishonest casino want to lock your funds and not pay your winnings, he will just need to ask you endless additional documents on top of your initial KYC. So gamblers shouldn't feel safe because they've already pass one KYC.

Thanks for all the discussions. I read a lot of comments. That many people disagree with kyc. But I haven't seen anyone commenting that there was fraud or KYC abuse from gambling sites. Hope I didn't miss that comment.

Is it just over-worrying? while there have been no cases of misuse of kyc. Everyone will definitely disagree if their data is misused, but that's still an assumption. no one has shared about the abuse here.

Maybe, if a gambling site asks for KYC because they are already registered. As far as we know, the state regulates KYC regulations. even though kyc is dangerous, not including kyc is also dangerous if the gambling site runs away with the user's deposit money.

I don't know which is the best, whether to do kyc or not to do it. Both are tough choices. Maybe choosing a well-known and trusted casino is the only way to be safer. But about kyc, it's a tough choice.

Probably. The general opinion is that when you send KYC documents they are potentially compromised, but this happens even on large exchanges like Coinbase, where data can be hacked or even sold by them. In general, the more reputable the casino or the site in general, the less likely it is that there will be a problem with your data, but once you have submitted it, you can't be sure of anything.

The information on the databases is stolen and sold. No one from a casino is going to come out publicly and say that information has been compromised. In fact, the casino may not even know since most of the time it's an inside job and an employee just sells the information.

I have never had a problem with KYC at all the casino sites I have gambled on. Also I have done KYC in various centralized exchanges but never felt any problem and never got into trouble. There are many people who take this KYC system very badly. They think of the KYC system that maybe their biggest problem will be to register houses and land deposits. Actually in my view the way I don't like KYC system is that doing KYC will strengthen your account. Your account will never be cancelled. You can use your account as you wish where you can hold as much balance as you wish. So to those of you who don't think KYC system is safe and think many problems, I say KYC system never causes problems, it's not unsafe, it's completely safe system for me.

The last part is important because if you send them to completely untrusted sources and websites just to earn free bucks then you are ignoring the part where it will cost your privacy which is far more worse case.In these casinos we have to do KYC but with legit sites and not too much but sending them to unknown sites is very risky and avoided at any cost.

It's already risky when sharing personal information, so it becomes even more crucial to be cautious when dealing with gambling sites that may not have a reputable track record. Personally, I haven't provided Know Your Customer (KYC) information to any gambling sites. Currently, I'm enjoying gambling without the need for KYC, and the site I'm using allows it. However, I'm aware that there might come a time in the future when I'll be required to undergo a KYC process. In such a case, I would be willing to comply, as long as I trust the site to keep my information private.

[Westinhome]

Of course, it is important to remain vigilant and informed about data privacy practices when engaging with online platforms, including gambling sites and particularly if you are using the ones that belong to less reputable jurisdictions. Use the forum, read and make sure you go for reputable sites with long standing presence in the forum and on-line. That is the best protection.

The safe of Kyc is based on the website,which you are using to submit.It also include the gambling site owners,the people who had responsible for kyc in that gambling site.The data may leak out at any point.If you had choose the right gambling website and does the clean background verification is more  important one.If you are the person give preference for the personal information,you can skip the kyc on the gambling site.The forum will give the essential information about the good gambling sites,So we can use forum as reference to the good gambling site.The most of the gambling site with reputation running the signature campaign in this forum.

There's no need to consider this something excessive because everyone also doesn't want information data such as documents to be misused by criminals for criminal acts, I also don't agree with that but we also have to comply with places where I have to play gambling, after all research when playing gambling in small casinos do not have a license I will not give my documents. unless it's reputable and a big casino maybe i'll give it.

I think we all know that casinos and any exchange sites ask us to complete KYC so that there is no money laundering so casinos and exchange sites don't force it on us, neither do we, if we don't like the KYC regulations we can leave it and don't gamble.

Like you have already stated most of us don't even have a choice when it come to situation like this online because most if not all the gambling sites I have registered and bet with all require some level of verification especially when they know you have secured a huge win in their platform. But what I do most times to avoid any comprising of my personal data is that I just go for more reputable casino which have already proven themselves to be reliable enough for me to drop those personal data required. I almost neglect all new casino that are coming into the business these days because the rate of scam project is just alarming to certain extent.

I think its more safer and even better to engage onnthebuse of gambling platforms that requires no KYC just incase of the gamblers that would like to maintain the thier privacy, because once you filled in their KYC procedures, there's no more privacy there and the kind of casino used also depends because some can go beyond expectations in tracking one through these informations and the funds we have on their wallet remains theirs because we are using a online wallet which is a custodial form of wallet with them.

Kyc actually has a function to prevent dangerous actions, such as money laundering. In addition, Kyc can also protect customers from account breakers.

The requirements of  KYC is important on both sides for the customer and the gambling site in the area of security. It outs security in both the hands of the customer and the company. Through a two factor authentication the customer is partly in charge of his account security as a way to stop impersonation while on the other side the company plays its own security role by creating a strong firewall for itself against any security breach.

Now there are several gambling sites that do not require Kyc to withdraw funds. That's good news. But I don't know if big money withdrawal need Kyc or not. I've never withdrawn much money.

There are a lot of gambling sites that are said not to request for KYC for creation of account with them but with time when a major withdrawal is to be made they come up with kyc as a condition for such huge amount of withdrawal. So entirely we can really say for sure which gambling site is sincere about their statement of no KYC.

Are you one of those who agree or refuse to fill out kyc on gambling sites?

I have no problem with kyc or no kyc what I look out for is how secure the system is and their reputation so far. It's just the fear of data leakage that's why some people are scared of kyc gambling sites which is very true particular with the way the authority are so inquisitive about financial transactions nowadays.

Even if they could find a casino which doesn't require them to produce KYC still they are not sure about its reputation. And maybe in long run they would get more bigger trouble since possibly they might turn scam which is not new here. Before I don't like to submit this details but since reputable casino require this to their user then I go with them and follow what they require since for me they are more safer rather than those small casinos which is reputation still questionable.

Even at that they are still some reputable casino our there that even with KYC requirement, you can still trust them in assuring that your personal data are safe with them. Me personal don't have anything against provision of KYC so far as the casino is one that be can stand for their claims when it comes to securing of customer user details.
