is KYC data on Gambling sites safe?

[Fredomago]

Firstly, KYC is only as safe as the user license agreement you signed in the beginning. It is an agency and can be required to present data concerning any of its customer.

Lastly, the gambling company security system can also decide this, as any breach in any of its security protocol either by bugs, or better put hackers , scammers, can make any one of its users/customers data compromised.

I don't trust myself, I saw a thread here in the forum that talks about casinos that change their Tos for convenience, and that there are some casinos that are constantly changing those rules, and that for me is cheating, apart from the fact that they have to comply with the KYC requirement, so it is not secure, when we give our data on a platform, those data are not secure, there is a risk that they will be leaked, so kyc will never be secure, I do not trust 100% in this either when they say that they leave the Data in a casino like this is very old, it is safe, because the risks of hacking will always be present.

That depends on which platform you are gambling on, most of the trusted and reputable casinos don't do that in the first place, and if they do, they will let their players know that their terms and conditions have been modified so that no one faces any issues and starts complaining later on. These kinds of platforms deserve to be trusted when it comes to verifying your KYC because they do care for their customers.

Providing your personal details and documents to a new and untrustworthy platform can cause issues in the long run if they turn out to be a scam or trade users' data with another company only to get more funds to invest in their platform. That's why it is not advisable to complete KYC on a new platform.

In my opinion, established businesses are all concern with how the gamblers will continue to trust them, they know the value of integrity and they will keep that trust to continue gaining more players/gamblers to use there services. Though KYC is something that really depends from every person who will entrust this personal information, more on how you truly trust the site/house when dealing and accepting the rules of submitting your data.

For me its not safe, but you cant do so much, also nowadays the goverment data sometimes its hacked so...... we dont know if already ou documents are in the web.

Plus i think with the IA thing and some advanced computer things, the bad guys can made fake profiles without ussing so much real persons.

since the government had been attacking casinos and exchanges for verification of their customers, there is need for us to limit the way we give our data to casinos for us to make us le of there gambling platform to bet. We need to try and reduce our urge to bet on KYC casinos because this may cost us our identities been exposed to the government and third parties.

I think this is very true, for me the things that have to do with giving the data to a platform such as casinos, exchanges is a very high risk that they can leak, and that is why in many cases people kill them, Only because of these things that can be avoided, and the casinos can be given without KYC, but they are the casinos that are decentralized, this is something that cannot be denied, it is more complicated to use a decentralized casino than a centralized one, the bad of the centralized casino is your kyc and all you have to do to be well and be able to withdraw money with peace of mind, because if the KYC is not complied with there are no withdrawals, I strongly recommend being careful, and trusting your preferred casinos, mine is duelbits.

One thing we all must understand is that, no platform is completely safe, whether it be a decentralized casino or centralized casino, they all have their pros and cons, as you have mentioned, the con of a centralized casino is in terms of kyc, which not very many gamblers like going through the process, but then, the con of decentralized casino is that, a gambler not being very careful could end up connecting his or her wallet to a phishing website that is disguised as a decentralized gambling casino, and be rest assured that all the money kept in that wallet is gone for ever..

So the best advice is, if you are choosing a centralized or decentralized casino, do it with the consciousness that no platform is safe and do all that is required to save yourself from losing your money or exposing yourself to the possibility of having your kyc data leaked.

How can this be achieved?
For a decentralized casino - have the code properly checked and verify that there is no malicious code in the smart contract before proceeding to use the platform., and only stick with one or two proven to be legimate..

For a centralized casino - Find a trusted and reputable casino and pass kyc verifications, after that, stick with that casino, going from one casino to the other submitting your personal documents for kyc verification is how and one of the major ways gamblers expose themselves to the possibility of having their kyc data end up in the wrong hands.

Generally there is a risk when KYC data is sent to any casino or gambling platform that have no license or comparatively weak. Because those sites can be hacked at any time. If a gambler can choose Trusted site he can send the KYC information. Because if they falsify that information, their site will be destroyed. When a gambler makes a new registration he must observe these things carefully before registration otherwise he may face danger later. Gamblers should not provide KYC data unless they can trust the site.

I mean, even if we talk about big services (not only casinos) which have been around for years, I can say that those are not completely bullet proof either. When I think on big businesses I think of Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, ect; and all of them have suffered very considerable breaches of information which have released personal information of their clients into the wild world of the internet.

Those are billionaire technological companies, so perhaps we cannot compare them to a small casino which is trying to surge among the competition, still it should makes us think on how relative cyber security is nowadays and the size or the money of a company is not a warranty or a flawless system. Just my two sats on the matter.

Actually, choosing a reputable and trusted gambling platform is essential for gamblers. It always happens sites that are licensed and regulated generally follow stringent security protocols. And also sites like these are more likely to be secured properly against hacking attacks. I would say, research the reputation, licensing information, and security practices of a gambling site before you provide any personal information. You know, regulated sites are more likely to adhere to security and data protection standards because these organizations enforce compliance.

In the end, as a sincere gambler you should avoid sharing personal information, including KYC data, with any gambling platform that you feel is unreliable or suspect.

I’ve said it plenty before and possibly even on this thread, but providing your personal information to anyone is never safe. This should be evident with all of the hacks that regularly occur. If you do have to provide your identity information, make sure it’s to someone reputable, but even then it could very possibly be hacked and stolen.

I agree with you because there is no way to check whether or not your data are exposed to intruders who may use them for various illegal activities and this is why it is important to always protect your data as much as possible and be weary of the kind of platform you give out your personal information and documents to in the name of know your customers KYC.

Some of that platforms are highly vulnerable and unsecured to entrust your data in their hands.

actually it is good 2/2 a verified account in cash no platform it will be of benefit of the player because when ever you are verified in Casino platform there's nothing will make you to have any with our colleagues and any deposit challenge in that particular platform so I start to tell you that verification and gambling is what every licensed platform needs to have

Correct, after all we know there have been cases in which the data has been leaked by someone from the inside, and this means that it can take a while before there is any indication there was a leak, if there is ever one at all.

So while sharing our information online, especially information regarding to our identity, is now common place, this does not mean that we should just accept it, we need to be very selective about the businesses in which we select to do this, as even if a single one gets hacked then our entire information will now become another set of data sold on the black markets.

Knowing the fact that there aren't decentralized casinos or even if there are, they are not trusted for now, a gambler doesn't really have a choice if they want to gamble, they will have to choose a platform for that and that platform will obviously ask them to complete KYC verification at some point, now one cannot keep abandoning casinos only because they don't want to give away their personal documents to them.

So the only viable solution to this is that a person finds a casino that is reputable and trusted and only gamble with them so that if they are asked for KYC verification, they don't feel hesitant to do it knowing the casino is trusted and they can give their documents to them and they will be safe, somehow.

It's another matter if you're required to submit your information in compliance with the KYC requirement and you have doubts about whether the gambling site can truly safeguard your private documents. If you have trust issues with crypto casinos, then choosing a fiat casino can provide a sense of security, as you can be sure they are regulated right from the start.

The difference between crypto casinos and fiat casinos is that crypto casinos advertise anonymous gambling, at least in the early stages. However, as government regulations tighten, they gradually become more like fiat casinos.

Yes because they cant track the funds, but that was in the very early stage, nowadays its the same being crypto or fiat casino in terms of KYC and the funds if you use a exchange can also by traced.

The thing is not to give out our data but how secure the few casinos we trust with our data and how their handle it and the others who are new and unpopular are the most risky since their just start ups and may not have the right security measures to protect and secure the data supplied by their customers and this is what we must understand and guide ourselves against.,  I am not in support in exposing our personal data all in the name of KYC and also I don't know how to check whether or not the data supplied have been leaked but ultimately centralized platforms must comply with regulatory demands and if you must use them then be ready to give out your documents for verifications.

On the time that we've been able to deal up with some whether an exchange or gambling platform on which it do really ask out some data or personal information then it would really be depending on you whether

you would really be complying it out so that you could play or would really skip out into other options knowing that there are still platforms who doesnt really ask out some kyc before you can play.

It is really just that a matter of choice because people who are really that confident about the security of these platforms on which they do believe that it wont really be easily
getting leaked out.This is why its your choice and if you arent that comfortable with it then you could always avoid if you do like. There are people who dont
really care about their personal info despite of those risks.

Your concern isnt just data sharing but the integrity of the recipient platforms. Security measures vary, more so between long-established platforms and newbies. But should this trust divergence shape our behavior? Sure, start-ups may lack the seasoned security infrastructure. Though, Crypto world hosts secure newbies and vulnerable veterans alike. The trick is thorough scrutiny of each platform' security blueprint.

I share your KYC concerns. It seemingly clashes with the anonymity spirit of cryptos, right? However, KYC is a necessary trade-off for centralized platforms, our ticket for their benefits. Data leaks? Worrisome indeed. Users cant control this wholly - its on the platform providers to guarantee safety. Your best shield? Be picky and diligent about your trust

Basically the gamblers trust the gambling sites and therefore they provide their personal information to them in the form of KYC. Now it's up to the gamblings sites to ensure that they do not leak this confidential information or misuse this KYC data.

The gamblers cannot do much on how the gambling site will use the KYC data but now it comes to the moral values and I hope that a gambling sites will protect our information. We can just hope for the best.

Yes, you are right, of course there is never a safe place because everything has the possibility of being hacked and stolen, even in various cases the identity that is stored by my country can still be stolen and hacked, especially casinos, even though casinos with a high reputation can also be trusted, but there is still a possibility of loopholes to be stolen or hacked, but still KYC is an absolute requirement for licensed casinos.

If the casino asks us as users to complete KYC before withdrawing money at the casino, of course we have to comply and provide our identity unless we don't want to do that, of course we have to be willing to lose our money at the casino, but if you want to be free from KYC, play with a decentralized casino. but I also think it's not necessarily safe. all return to their respective goals and at their own risk

That's very true a gambler has to trust the gambling site because without that they won't be able to gamble on that site. The KYC is essential for those gambling sites these days and I don't think that a gambler will be able to withdraw the funds without completing their KYC information first. There are some gambling sites that still don't require KYC data but those are just very few in number and many people fear that such sites could run away with their money.

I think that the honest and well-reputed gambling sites will do their best to protect the information of the users and they won't use it for any illegal purpose at all. But, I have heard that there are some other applications and sites which have misused the KYC data of their customers. I always recommend everyone to share your KYC data on only those gambling websites which have built up trust and reputation in the industry.
