is KYC data on Gambling sites safe?

[khaled0111]

Well I don't have issues with submitting  KYC  on the internet and since the question  was for casinos  then I also don't have any issues submitting  my credentials or kyc  to provided  that the platform  or casino  is a trusted one.

I trully appreciate your honesty and I'm certain most of the members who have replied here have submitted their kyc documents at least once to a casino or any of the centralized services. I wish they have the courage to say they've done so..
At least you realize that you should send your personal information to only platformsthat you trust and only when you have no other option, right !

The safety of data that are stored online depends on the strength of the security of the site collecting them because cloud storage of anything is highly exposed to hackers who may gain access to those data and use them for various criminal used, btw we still have a good number of site that hack meet up to 90%-100% data security and safety so users providing those documents for verification will have nothing to worry about.

I don't know what other best advice than telling gamblers to always do due diligence security checks to see if they can trust the site with their data or not.

Aside from that, it is also good to say to avoid doing KYC if you do not trust the casino.  No one is forcing anyone to engage in a casino that requires KYC so players are free to choose which casino platform to use.

I am one of those forum members that submitted KYC in a casino, meaning I have my account verified. I did that because I don't want to experience any trouble in withdrawing my fund if one day I happen to win a huge amount, and it did happen when I won a huge prize playing on that casino dice years ago.  Since my account was already verified, I don't have any problem withdrawing the fund.

So true.
After all, there are many casinos here from those that require KYC to non-KYC and among them there are quite a few that are trusted and have very good reputations.
The gambler just needs to research and choose which trusted casino he can rely on.
Most gamblers maintain anonymity, but many are also willing to provide KYC so they can play gambling at a trusted casino that they like.
After all, by providing KYC to a casino that has a good reputation and a high level of trust, we don't need to be afraid of the data leaks that we have provided because the casino definitely has pretty good security.

Casino that will not risk their business most with established casino as they will care more about security they will not take that big risk closing their business just because of mishandling those private information, it's hard to entrust your private data but if you really trust the site where you are playing or where you are gambling, it's something that will be depend from how you really see and project the business if they will take care of your data or you need to pause for a while and think more if you are willing to take that step and risk those information.

An established casino will not take the risk of not having good security to protect the data of its users because its customers have entrusted their data to the casino. And the casino will try to keep this data properly and ensure that the casino can be trusted. And it is our job to determine which casino we will choose so that when we submit documents to the casino, they can properly carry out their duties. We also don't have to worry about the security system on their site.

What is certain is to avoid KYC on sites that are new or don't have a good reputation.
Even though there is no guarantee that doing KYC will be safe, if you do KYC on a reputable site, of course the casino will prioritize the security of customer data.

It is a must for us to always be careful in choosing a casino. We also don't want to see the data we have sent being misused by irresponsible casinos because we have seen much of this data being traded freely. Choosing a casino or site with a good reputation can provide us with security so that we will be calm and comfortable there.

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.

Casino that won't intentionally link your information to people that will use it wrongly to target you are good ones to keep using when they request you to submit your KYC so they can verify their customers and not be providing services to users that aren't clean.

KYC helps the casino to verify their customers so they're doing the right thing and it's left for the customers to continue using the casino. We have many casino that aren't requesting for KYC so you can use those casino if you don't feel comfortable submitting your KYC.

It's better to use a KYC casino that won't scam you of your money then to use a casino that don't request for your KYC but is a scam casino waiting to get enough deposit from their customers then disappear with the money. We have many casinos like this.

If we trust a casino, we will need to comply with the KYC requirement. However, our primary security lies in the regulators who oversee and regulate the casino industry. These regulators have the power to impose penalties on casinos that engage in illegal activities. While we cannot be entirely certain if our information will be linked, strict regulations and the awareness of potential penalties or crimes serve as a deterrent to prevent such actions.

Therefore, it is not sufficient to only look for a reputable casino; it is also important to ensure that they hold a license provided by a reputable licensing authority.

[Crypt0Gore]

KYC verification won't safe your account from getting attacked, it could happen from your side if you are not careful, like, using the same password on every website that you open an account with or it could happen from the website developers side, like, carelessly not looking into any possible breach on their platform.

There are many crypto exchanges that ask for KYC verification and they get hacked by hackers, they lost a lot of money in this process, I am just trying to prove to you that hacking is still possible if any platforms ask for KYC from their customers.

I will still advice you to better use casinos that require verification because it's a sign that they are given permission by the law and it means they are more reliable than others that are not asking for KYC, it's a big risk using such casinos because they can one day be forced to face the law.

No amount of security can protect your data if there are thieves inside the company. We occasionally hear the news of the exchange hacks. Some of these "hacks" weren't actual hacks. The thieves inside the company that sold the users' data and made it look like a hack. So even if you are KYC'ing on the safest exchange there is, it will never be 100% safe because those hidden thieves in the company may always decide to rip you off. That's called an inside job and it is more common than anybody thinks.

Yes indeed, they will keep that information as they know it will ruin their business if in case they've got exposed or if there's hack that may happen to their system, it's a bread and butter for them so why let that to happen and ruin their good communication with their clients. Gambling business is not an easy task, but once you established you'll do your best to keep it as it is.

yes obviously this is a good suggestion because for the sake of security as well as the convenience of playing gambling there are no problems with KYC as long as the casino has a good reputation and a big casino of course they also comply with laws and regulations, after all a trusted casino will not use documents belonging to all users to committing acts of crime as people fear.

Unless giving our KYC documents to a small and new casino, of course, that's really not recommended for fear that it could be misused and the data could be traded by third parties, but it's also true that good advice is to play in a big casino.

Those regulated casinos are usually a big casinos who are serious about doing business here, and so far its safe to provide KYC with them.

Actually, its hard to tell what site is not safe at all because we already gave our information to many sites, from a local government agencies, banks, social groups and with crypto casinos, now how can you tell who leak your information from those insitutions? If you really want to be safe, then stop giving your information to any platform and sites even with the banks.

The only danger is when the casino database got breached. I think there’s an issue like this in the past were players information is stolen by hacker and sold on deep web. It still relies on the casino security on how they will store the customers data even though the casino is permitted by the law to do KYC.

The requirements of KYC is not about how small or big the casino because all casino start as being small and they just improve it. KYC is based on the license of the casino and user shouldn’t provide KYC on casino that doesn’t have license no matter how big it is.

The question is, do you know the strength of their security when you submit your data? Can you demand any compensation if your data is leaked or hacked?
The answer to both questions is, as far as I know, no.
You don't know how well your data is protected, you don't know the measures a company is taking to protect you and you get completely no compensation in case of a leak. Basically it's a "trust me bro" approach by casinos. For this reason I avoid KYC if I can.

That is not the only danger, my friend. There's more to worry about than just a casino database getting hacked. It's a serious issue, no doubt, but let's not forget about those shady online casinos lurking out there. It's a sad reality that not all gambling platforms play fair. Some of them are downright deceitful and fraudulent.

Even if a casino claims to have top-notch security measures in place, there's always a chance of something going wrong on the inside. You know how it is, there's always a chance of human error or misconduct within the casino itself. Imagine employees mishandling our personal data either on purpose or by accident. That's a privacy breach waiting to happen right under their noses.

And let's not kid ourselves, my friend. In this wild world of online gambling, there are establishments that don't give a damn about ethics. They see our personal information as a goldmine, ready to be exploited for their own financial gain. They're not above selling our data to sketchy third parties who want to market stuff to us or, worst case scenario, engaging in identity theft and fraud.

The requirements of KYC is not about how small or big the casino because all casino start as being small and they just improve it. KYC is based on the license of the casino and user shouldn’t provide KYC on casino that doesn’t have license no matter how big it is.

That's true. It's a real bummer, but we have to stay vigilant. Do some digging before you trust any online casino. Look for trustworthy reviews, check if they're licensed and regulated, and read their privacy policies. It's the only way we can protect ourselves from these unscrupulous characters who want to take advantage of us by treating our personal information like a commodity.

I have not seen cases of data linking through casinos' KYC databases before but even if the data that are collected are being taken by hackers or sold to identity thieves how will we know that?

Because once we provide them with those documents they have full access and control over the data supplied and can use it for whatever reason, in fact, some of those KYC data are stored on third-party data holding sites such as Google Cloud and the rest of what have you.

^I don't know if this is really happening or just a rumor, I have never seen anyone's information sold in the black market, and if there is I don't see the buyer will benefit from it which is most KYC now required face-to-face recognition.
However, just keep in mind that there is no system that is entirely immune to hacking, major technology companies like Google invest heavily in security measures to protect their infrastructure and user data. Google Cloud has numerous security measures in place to safeguard its services and databases, including encryption, access controls, monitoring systems, and regular security audits which I think is worth it to trust.

Try to go into deep or dark web using up TOR browser and using up some onion sites on which you would be able to see those tons of information or things which are illegal to be sold on that black market.

This is indeed true and happening on which it is really just dumb that people would be selling out information publicly or on this internet or online space or simply that surface web.They arent that dumb on making themselves get jailed because of doing that.We have seen lots or tons of data breaches but we dont actually know on where it would really be that ending up into but for sure it would
really be that be sold into those marketplaces. It is really just that it isnt within reach by most common internet people but only to those who do able to access or dive
in into deep web.

Casino databases should be kept away from the public so there is no way the casino will share their players' data in public.  Though I cannot remove the thought of some bad casinos selling their players' information to gain extra earnings or hackers getting access to the Casino database and selling the information to the black market.

So if we are too concerned about these leaks we can always avoid using gambling platforms that require KYC.

Dark web has been a host of all the world's dirtiest and deadliest deals, but also the user has to take the extra mile to such the information that is available for sale in the marketplace to see the level of linkage that data have gone through and nothing is stopping their buyers from using those data to commit more crime there exposing the real owner if those data to criminal charges unless their ability to prove that their identity has truly been stolen.
