Anonymity is no longer a benefit of gambling with cryptocurrency.

[arwin100]

Almost all the crypto gambling companies are accepting KYC. It is difficult to see a truly non kyf casino.
Many people get scammed in the process of searching for a non kyc gambling.
Gradually everyone is buying into the KYC ideology apart from highly privacy people.
It is not only in the hands of the gambling companies to determine if they will go for kyf or not, but is also determined by the governments who licenced them to operate with certain conditions.

There are still a couple of casinos that don't require any form of KYC and only enforce it when dealing with big amounts or when they find something suspicious. Examples are Crypto.Games, Bitcasino, Fairlay etc.

Silver lining here is that non-KYC casinos will always exist though they will almost always be less popular when compared to KYC casinos.

Yea, there are a couple of non KYC casinos but they are a few compared to the number of KYC casinos available in the industry.
I know of gambling companies that set KYC only when the winning is high. I do not think that this is right.
If there are no limits to deposit, there shouldn't be limits for withdrawal.  But the reality is that nothing is totally done to guarantee 100 % freedom. This is to prevent exploitation by random people . Because there some malicious people who are just seeking of loopholes to exploit

Its not right if they claim that they are 100% KYC free casino since if the case that they ask that when winning a huge amount then they must be up something and do delaying tactics to find an issue to the user so that they cannot possibly pay him. But now expect that casino will ask this KYC so people should read first the TOS of the casino so that they will not get surprise when certain requirements has been implemented nor asked to anyone who win a huge amount of cash.

Crypto casinos nowadays have changed a lot. They have started implementing a KYC policy for their users, especially those who deposit or withdraw large amounts of money. This is to avoid casino suspicion of users using money originating from illegal activities.

And that's why we often see users who are asked to do KYC before they can continue their activities in gambling. Casinos want to ensure that nothing related to illegal things is happening because regulators supervise casinos. And once the KYC process is complete, users can deposit or withdraw money unless the casino finds anything suspicious.

So users must read and confirm the TOS of the casino before registering so they understand that casinos can also ask users to do KYC at any time. And if users don't want to do KYC, they can look for other casinos. But it looks like this is also happening in other crypto casinos.

[crzy]

You are indeed right. Anonymity does not somehow a big issue at the moment since most of the casinos are actually requiring KYC most especially for big time players. Although there might be some few gambling casinos who are not into KYC verification, but I believe their system will definitely be updated and will require KYC sooner because that’s what the government requires them to do so.

However, there’s still some factors that we still become anonymous from others, but not from the casinos personal staffs. Maybe let’s just accept the reality that KYC will be compulsory in all centralized casinos all over the world. This is not only made out from the government wanting to control everything, but also for the sake of gamblers security and protection.

That's the sad reality as we push the government regulations, we are being forced to follow the KYC rules. Most of the casinos now are asking for KYC, but some are still not and they will only ask for KYC if they see some irregularities with your account. Somehow, KYC is indeed for the security purposes of both parties, let's just hope that secure our data with a highest priority or else, hackers might get our details.

Most of these casino just do all these because of the government rules that are tied to them operating their business. These casino are now implementing all these to avoid be sanctioned of money laundering law because most of the users deem their site to be a perfect spot for huge deposit and withdrawal which can cause lots of attention so that's why KYC is been called upon

In the past, the casinos were blamed by the government for harboring money laundering. A lot of them were either closed by the government or went offline, which caused issues for the users who had their deposits in these casinos. That is the reason why KYC is now being made mandatory in almost all online casinos. A few exceptions are there but sooner or later they will also implement KYC. With KYC you no longer are anonymous but as a user, you still have the anonymity factor with other users.

KYC, KYC and KYC  is the melody played in casinos. Additionally, governments are tapping their feet to the cadence. However, this is not the case for all casinos, merely a minority, though perhaps more. Consequently, it is somewhat perplexing, as if one were attempting to follow a recipe without all of the necessary ingredients

KYC is not a mandatory if governement was not pushing casino to be compliant with regulation. Government was the strongest entity that exist and controlling everything.

With people misusing the no KYC feature of the cryptocurrency casinos initially, this had to happen eventually. I remember the days when no cryptocurrency casino would ask you for KYC verification and you could deposit, gamble, and withdraw any amount you want without providing any personal information at all. Those were golden days, but as soon as people started misusing that freedom and started doing evil stuff, authorities and casinos had to go ahead and implement something to prevent that from happening.

And, here we are today, with regulations circling us from all sides, and it is all our own fault. I don't say that there wouldn't be regulations if there was nothing like that happening, but it might have taken some more time for this to happen, and the regulations might have been a bit easier.

If you are playing at stake, then there is no way anyone needs to find its alternative provided he is trying to check out other sites. The ones you mentioned above like Duelbet are good too but I don't think anyone who is a regular player at stake will be willing to move out of stake.

At stake, you will find both casino and sports betting's and i must say that they have the most comprehensive and detailed coverage of almost all sports and here you can bet on any match you want.  Personally, i usually bet on sports and i always get very good odds here.

This is why it is called by "alternative", no matter how great the place you used to stay around but alternative is still alternative which is another place to visit. Why people need alternative place? I think it is something that should not be questioned too much because the main idea of alternative is to find a new place or new thing for some reasons. Everyone in this earth do need alternative things for everything they do in life, even for something they usually eat.

Well, we as players will always have casino alternatives, when we start we believe that the best casino or the best alternative is the first casino we fall into, but of course, if we become familiar with it, we accept the casino as it is, we take the bonuses and we actively participate, I say this from the point of view of my experience, because when I was a rookie I became very fond of a particular casino, I liked everything they did there, in fact thanks to that platform a great community where we all supported each other and played and shared each strategy.

Now after that, when I saw that I didn't win much, I looked for other casinos to see the game and if I had it, I played, then I knew the casino, of course at that time I only played dice, then when I saw so many games it seemed strange to me to have so many options, and there were a lot of games, so I didn't think so, but after that I started to see more, that's why I found stake.com, also I can't deny that at that time the casino looked very nice, its color and atmosphere It is very characteristic, besides that stake.com has a forum and there you can participate and be very active, I like all these things, that's why I took a liking to stake.com, after one has a certain journey in casinos, in games of chance, become more critical and any platform one sees it with errors, or with things that do not add up.

In the casino I really like casinos such as duelbits, rollbit, bitcasino, among others, because they are reliable casinos, and I think that the best alternative to casinos is that, that they have a unique reputation and trust 'because the casino can be seen very pretty, flashy, in fact it can be friendly in its environment, but is it a fake casino? one of those casinos out there where they prey on newbies or people who don't know much about casinos and scams, those are the things that you should be very careful about, but in my case I don't get complicated, my casinos are few but the best , stake.com, bitcasino.io, duelbtis, roobet, sportsbet.io, freebitco.in.

A casino cannot be a no KYC casino and yet requires you to fill in for KYC along the process, since we make use of cryptocurrency in gambling, it gives us the advantage to make decision on what we want and how we wanted to get it done, if we think privacy is what we need while using any of the casinos, then we can make use of bitcoin in making casino deposit and we proceeds in gambling, when we bet and win, they will not require the KYC except if the casino is a KYC platform in which you have to provide all the necessary documents before they can process your request.

Regret increasingly whack at the end of the story, many people are irresponsible with what they do and use casinos as their tool to wash their hands from dirty work and make a country lose money due to money laundering that they are doing, that freedom is getting more and more limited, it feels like the world wants to know who we are and what we are doing to keep an eye on us, the anonymity that becomes calm in carrying out activities becomes a thing that is suspected, which forces them to impose KYC policies on casinos, even though today we can still avoid it because there are still some who may not implement KYC, but it's a question mark whether they can be trusted or not, because of the legality of casino operations having to apply KYC to their casino in order to get a license to operate.

Until now, Money launderer still using online casino to launder their dirty money. This criminal is very pesky because they mix their money like a normal gambler which menas there will be no reason for casino to suspect them as launderers that will make this KYC purpose useless since it cannot catch launderers but only it will just use to delay or freeze someone money when they win huge prize in the casino.

I totally disagree on the use of KYC to counter money launderer since it’s useless in crypto because everything is decentralized and it’s very hard to spot user that laundering money and differentiates it to the normal player.

[YOSHIE]

Because of KYC verification which is now done by most crypto casino to know the people who gamble on their casino, I think anonymity is no longer a benefit of gambling with cryptocurrency in crypto casino.

If i'm not wrong some studies about increase of gamblers in online crypto casino, not based on Anonymity factor, quite the opposite.

In my opinion, there are other factors or things why many people choose crypto casinos in general, it is caused by convenience, in contrast to fiat and physical casinos.

The meaning of convenience if interpreted broadly, for example: crypto casinos make deposits without having to queue at the Bank/ATM, as well as playing safe and easy, most people don't like complicated, they want it to be super easy in all matters, identity is needed in KYC I think it's not a barrier and an advantage for most gamblers, it's the basis of convenience that crypto casinos have their own charm for most online gamblers, sometimes KYC can be engineered, for that, in my opinion, anonymity is not the main basis as a tool for gamblers.

You might have misunderstood the implementation of the anti-money laundering council's regulations. While casinos might not have direct knowledge of the sources of their customers' funds, they are regulated entities and are obligated to comply with orders from the AMLC. If customers are suspected or proven to be involved in money laundering, the government agency can instruct the casino to close their accounts and confiscate the funds. Casinos don't take actions without a valid basis. That's the concise explanation.

I think with the KYC on some crypto-centralised platforms like exchanges or casinos, money looting or ill-gotten gains with money can still be detected, but that's when the wallet that holds the coin has been flagged, and if it's been flagged, the centralised platform to which that coin is being deposited can freeze your asset. Depending on whether they are aware that the sender's wallet is flagged or if it's a casino that you deposited to and you also pass KYC with them, they can hand over your personal details to the investigation team that is involved, and the victim can be traced and get caught. Unless it's a crypto casino that doesn't require KYC, even if they don't require KYC but get notified that a deposit has entered their platform from a flagged wallet, if they fail to comply, the casino can still get charged by the government.

Some people choose gambling platforms to legitimize the proceeds of money laundering and terrorist activities. If a person does not have KYC then it is not possible to identify them. If there is no other way to solve this illegal activity so no chance to ignore KYC. After all instead of making it mandatory for everyone, KYC should be done instead of those accounts whose activities are suspected. It is important to remember that it is not possible to ignore government restrictions.

That is possible yes since you can trace which wallet that an illegal or flagged wallet address is coming from. This is also as it happens with the banks, they can trace a flagged account and in their case restrict it or limit the transaction that goes there. In cryptocurrency, whether KYC or not, government can mandate a casino on a flagged wallet if they suspect any transaction from it

In the casinos before a few years ago they did not have a function for games of chance, players could always place their bets without having to leave their documents, very rarely the player had to leave their comments and could withdraw, currently it is mandatory, The casinos that did not ask for kyc before are already asking for it, that is something that cannot be controlled anymore, and a decentralized casino has some ways of working that I do not like, I am one of those who does not like to leave documents everywhere Because it's not good to be around leaving identification documents around, because you don't know who they fall into and that's dangerous.

[fullhdpixel]

This is unavoidable since governments/organizations are concerned about unlawful activity and owners do not want to be involved in it. At the very least, we are only recognized by the owners or teams in charge of handling information, not the entire community of that gaming site, and won't be shared elsewhere. I don't need to be concerned as long as the site is reputable.

We don't know if they are truly legit. I remember Facebook leaked the data of their users before and many of us considered it to be trusted since they are a big and old company. But even if we say that they are truly legit, what about the hacks that can possibly happen to them? Our KYC will still be a risk once the hacker took them a long with the money. They know that they can sell it in the black market and make more money.

This is the reason why many of us here are too concerned when it comes to KYC talks and it took them a long time to decide, whether they will give their KYC or not to the platform that they will use or are already using.

[BitcoinPanther]

Crypto casinos nowadays have changed a lot. They have started implementing a KYC policy for their users, especially those who deposit or withdraw large amounts of money. This is to avoid casino suspicion of users using money originating from illegal activities.

That should be expected.  A centralized casino that is licensed by a government will eventually implement regulations imposed by the government.  We should not be surprised if all the centralized casino will ask for our KYC, it is also one way of the casino to protect our account from being stolen.

And that's why we often see users who are asked to do KYC before they can continue their activities in gambling. Casinos want to ensure that nothing related to illegal things is happening because regulators supervise casinos. And once the KYC process is complete, users can deposit or withdraw money unless the casino finds anything suspicious.

So users must read and confirm the TOS of the casino before registering so they understand that casinos can also ask users to do KYC at any time. And if users don't want to do KYC, they can look for other casinos. But it looks like this is also happening in other crypto casinos.

Yeah players like us must be responsible enough to read the term of service of a casino, if we have some question we can always reach out to their support in order to verify things and be cleared of it. On the other side, casino should be straight to implement KYC from the beginning so that players won't get confused.  the vague terms about KYC should be cleared out and implement it even before a player can deposit any amount of money in their platform.  This way, players won't get into trouble of not be able to withdraw their winnings because they need to submit KYC for verification.

This is interesting because i thought that in crypto casinos the essence of kyc was to know their customers and being able to help law enforcement agencies if need be to identify gamblers whose KYC information is available in their database, but saying that the gambler wallet could be flagged may seem and sound impossible to me and the only possible way to stop wallet is to block the user account in the casino.

You are also very correct sincea wallet can bee placed on hold, but also we must note how hard that could possibly be in a crypto casino if it traditional casino then the user bank could be restricted but the online crypto casino, the case may differ.

Whatever you do or whenever we are pertaining into neither bank account or your online platform account then it would really be just giving out on the same result on which it would really be locked up on funds.
In speaking about KYC then it would be pertaining about taxation, regulation, tracking or whatever that these regulators are really that trying out to do or have some plans which in overall we could really be able to generalized that they dont really like on missing something knowing that gambling platforms or companies does generate out tons then it would really be that subjective to such regulation or other things correlated to it.
So far we do still have platforms that doesnt ask out some KYC as long you arent doing or violating something inside their terms then you could actually say that you do able to make yourself that somewhat safe
and also if you dont able to reach out that kind of amount threshold in speaking about deposits or withdrawal then they wont really be asking out but of course expect the unexpected on which there's always a tendency
that they would be asking out which its not really that shocking anymore.
