is KYC data on Gambling sites safe?

[Nothingtodo]

KYC is of course safe, there is no problem in giving KYC to trusted sites but submitting your personal information to untrusted temporary sites leaves you with nothing to do if you get caught in a cybercrime. In this case you must check trusted sites before submitting KYC.

[Fredomago]

Actually, not all crypto gambling asks for kyc, that's why we should always know the risk involved in every game we enter. If there are casinos that ask for kyc online, it's for you and the person who manages the casino. platform too.

And usually, these who have kyc demands are regulated gambling that if they do not do this to their players on their platform, the government can close their online casino. If this casino is legitimate I think it is still safe in my opinion.

And that should also be on your account as a gambler in properly investigate the casino if they are legit and they have permits to operate from the government, if they are established casino for sure they will not do any harm to ruin the business, personally it will be okay to submit your private information / KYC to continue playing smoothly.

Depends on how you believe and trust the site since it's all about personal information that in stake.

[Shinpako09]

This has been talked about and asked before many times. As long as the site is legit, there is nothing to worry about. You are giving the same personal information on social media where it can be viewed by a lot of people depending on your privacy status. While in gambling sites, only the owner or the team handling and storing the information sees it, so why worry? That means, you are more vulnerable on social media but don't seem bothered. That's kinda ironic and funny to me. That doesn't make sense.

This is why it's important to crosscheck what information you found in internet or someone article with the reality, the article is misleading for giving a list of no KYC casino, while the reality all of them are required to verify your account.

Thank you for quoting those clarity mate and indeed , they may not ask KYC from the beginning but sooner it will be implemented as the TOS says it all .

Make sure every gambler check the terms first by CTRL + F and type "verification", "verify", "identity", "personal" or "KYC". If you found the casino state they will ask KYC, then leave it.

Wow , just now that I hear this , thank you so much so it will be easier to check their terms and find what indicate about KYC.

For the most part you have a pretty clear picture of what every company does with your information. They sell it to advertising agencies to provide you with targeted ads to make you buy their stuff. It's all just a matter of who's going to take care of your information, and provide you with the targeted ads that you would be able to tolerate. That's why my money's on reliable companies and sites, at the very least you know for sure they're going to take care of your information, and most of them have a "Do not Sell my Data" clause on the privacy statement that you can take them to court with should you find out that they violated such guidelines. Basically you have legal powers over the casino and the information they collect from you when it's a reputable site. You wouldn't really have this amount of certainty on some other gambling site which sets them so far apart.

The gambling sites never tell customers when an employee steals player data and sells it, for more than they'd pay that employee in a year, happens all the time though

If it isn't a former employee selling it, you still have to worry about the specific sites security of your data, when many of us are from the "verify, don't trust" school of thought

[tusandii]

I don't think this has stopped newer casinos that aren't as strict from being able to get new users moving away from casinos that have overly strict KYC regulations.

Afaik, New casino with license is stricter in application of KYC compared to the old reputable casino since they want to fully compliant in the law because they are new and scared on the probable impact on their business.

In today's era, casinos that enforce KYC are a natural thing because indeed it is the policy of the license used and also to avoid criminal acts such as money laundering because money laundering can affect the casino's existence.
If a casino becomes a place where money laundering is carried out, then indirectly the casino is also at risk of being dragged into legal problems for money laundering.
After all, giving KYC to a trusted and reputable casino is nothing to be afraid of.

Also keep in mind that here there are many casinos that enforce KYC and non KYC so gamblers don't need to worry about it because they only have to choose which casino to use.

Even though big and popular casinos ask for KYC before making a deposit or before carrying out gambling activities there will be no guarantee that our data is safe.
Someone will think like this so choose a casino that does not require KYC in any activity.

It's true that even though casinos are big and popular they don't guarantee that the data provided by gamblers can be safe, but at least we can have more confidence in some of these casinos because they have become big and popular casinos.
After all, I'm sure big casinos always try their best to maintain the trust of gamblers and prioritize their reputation so that gamblers who play there don't experience disappointment.

Whether you want to play at a non KYC casino or a casino with KYC is your choice and every gambler has their own choice.
I myself prefer casinos that use KYC as long as they are reputable and trusted.

That is really a problem if those employees have access to that confidential data. I think not all employees have access to it, and it is also forbidden for sure that only those high-ranking employees have access to it, but again, we really don't know what is running through their minds, and that is also possible, but I think most of what I've noticed is that they are not secured, like they are getting hacked, and your data would be sold for sure. But no matter what, KYC is already on our doorstep, so to continue playing, we need to do KYC so that we won't get any problems along the way.

[bangjoe]

And If I must be sincere with my observations, I think the reason why online casinos started requiring kyc verification from its customers is completely due to regulatory requirements, aside authorities making its mandatory process for centralized casinos to request kyc verification from their users, I don't think any gambling casino care much about kyc verifying their customers.

KYC in some accredited casinos should not be a problem but KYC in all casinos doesn't make sense to me. However, casino authorities may make KYC system mandatory in case of withdrawal of huge amount of funds. But one thing is that KYC system is very important to stop fraud in casinos and making it mandatory will reduce fraud to a great extent.

I should be that KYC has a very good function if used correctly, considering as a strategic step to avoid fraud or money laundering.
What if there are casinos that are not accredited and they take advantage of the KYC obligation as a dangerous data theft scheme. So my opinion is important to guarantee from the casino that our data can be safe in the data base of their casino service user in other words the casino that requires KYC at the time of withdrawal or whatever, they must be built on the legal basis of operations, where they are developed as Gambling service providers or more TAPT Casino Headquarters.

But no matter what, KYC is already on our doorstep, so to continue playing, we need to do KYC so that we won't get any problems along the way.

It's a philosophical debate though because some of us believe that those who have money (however you define it) and are willing to gamble with it, will do so.

As shown by the increased popularity with bitcoin and crypto gambling sites, regardless of a gamblers age, people with money will gamble.

Is it the government or corporations job to ensure someone is of age to gamble?

Or should the parent of a child take on the responsibility to ensure they don't gamble?

Good questions that people will never agree on answers

Not having KYC DOES protect the individuals identity though, which may be something they wish to do when gambling online with crypto, regardless of age

[Outhue]

It is not safe, few motnhs ago incident has been happened and Rolbit Casino has send user VIP level-based bonuses to verified emails of Stake users. It is matter of glitch to get caught on such attack or agreement since some casinos may sell KYC userbase data to third-parties for making more money. Stake has never accepted their fault and the management has deleted related forum posts on the forum. That is why I don't trust online platforms when it is about my personal info.

it is not good for us to give our information to gambling companies because they might decided to sell the information and even though they don't have that plan, what about if there casino get hacked and the hackers get hold of the data and sell it to their parties and that can use it against to he person.

The information that you are given to all this online gambling does not matter anything then I'm not taking your information to anywhere that is to satisfy the criteria of withdrawing or doing their kyc verification there is nothing difference between your document with you verification and your banking documents does it mean that bank account still your document so even though they said their platforms and other place if you wish then you can continue to partner with that platform within the same verification document that is what I want some of you to understand

There is nothing wrong giving up your KYC info to online casinos as they did that to pass your withdrawal request, this is very understandable, but it doesn't mean that your KYC info can't get to the wrong hands, you are promoting a scam project, are you trying to say that you can give 1xbit your information? You can get burnt doing that because the platform is not trusted, and they can whatever they want with your KYC information.

If you have to give your KYC information up for any online casino, make sure the Casino is a good one, reliable and well-known, we can say that they don't have any need for the KYC information but how can we be so sure? Precaution is always better cure.

KYC approval is usually reserved for high ranking officials. Those who are trusted on the site they will be responsible for KYC data. If there is any kind of KYC related complaint on any site then the responsibility falls on the persons in charge. But even in this KYC of many organizations can be stolen. But naturally there are no such problems in all good casinos or gambling platforms. The owners of the casino or gambling platform generally keep a good investigation on this matter otherwise the casino will not be able to gain a good reputation. KYC has both positive and negative aspects but considering all the positive aspects are more visible.

And concerning how kyc data are kept, I think some platform does have a special server, more like a storage system where every kyc data is uploaded to and kept, and most times, it's only the CEO, and maybe some else very close to the CEO, that usually have access to such server or storage system..

I'm beginning to think that this call for KYC awareness in casinos is being overrated, (I'm not saying we shouldn't take precautions though) if you listen to those who are complaining or have ever complained about their identity being exposed after they Completed KYC verification for a certain online service it has never been linked to a casino.
It's either from an exchange or any other money managing company, I guess hackers don't really focus on gamblers not sure why tho, but we should still keep our guard up and keep on with going with the best practice by choosing a reputable casino or perhaps looking for a no KYC casino.

I agree with you and for avoidance of doubt or misunderstanding take the FTX case for example, the CEO said that the collapse of the exchange os as a result of manipulation of its system, even though it is clear they spend the exchange liquidity on personal expenses, but it was aided by the hack which can lead to data leakage from The exchange KYC database.
And there are some other cases of exchange hacks and all these hacks will expose user data to identity thefts.

Doesnt matter whether you are dealing with exchangers or gambling sites or whatever platforms you are tending to deal with because on the time that they would be asking for some verification and you do sent out those documents or whatsoever in correlation with your personal details then it isnt something that we could be having that 100% safe. Considered yourself to be already that exposed or simply privacy had been break. This is why its better to accept out that kind of situation rather than on making yourself look like a fool on believing into something that those informations are safe. You dont know on what would happen in the backstage on which whether they are keeping those things safe or there are some leak outs or whatsover purpose that they might have.

Come in mind that we had been dealing  with these compliance about KYc in our daily lives or transactions on which it would be no shocking that things online would really be the same.
Government does really love to track up everything as much as they could and this is via these centralized platforms which leaves us no choice.

As the popularity of the Internet has increased the crimes related to it have increased as well, now this would not be as problematic if this was still like in the early days of the internet boom and people still remained relatively anonymous in almost all their interactions.

But now almost any website requires that you identify yourself, use your email account or give them your phone number at minimum to provide you their services, and this means hackers not only have all the time in the world to hack them, but now the incentive they have for doing so has increased in a disproportionate fashion.

I think that at present the issue of identifying the identity of any normal and law-abiding citizen is not a problem at all.  All countries are populated by a video camera and there are tens and hundreds of millions of them around the world. 
Every smartphone has at least 2 cameras. 
In addition, AI, I think, accurately determines the personality of a person both in the image and in the voice.  So all sorts of KYC options are already the "last century" and a completely unnecessary and stupid, formal procedure. 
So, as soon as you go to the branch of any bank, and the employees of this bank already know who you are.  You have already been counted.  Do not doubt.  As for the leakage of personal data, it is obvious that your data has already been stolen or sold many times and for sure it can be found somewhere on the Internet or on the dark web.  This seems to me to be quite obvious as well. 
As a result, all these KYCs are just a waste of time and have no serious impact on the processes of law enforcement agencies fighting the so-called "money laundering" at all.

The important thing is that we can always be careful when playing gambling and not play gambling at suspicious casinos to avoid getting into trouble. If we already have a trusted casino on our list, we should always use that casino to play gambling because the casino will take good care of its customers. And if we are asked to do KYC, the data we send will also be properly guarded because trusted casinos always try to provide security for all of their members. So we can be calm and don't need to worry because the casino will do its best to protect the data of its members. And they will also make sure the security is always updated.
