Which casino would you trust more: one that requires KYC or one that doesn't?

[Stable090]

The most important aspects are reputation and what we are actually looking for. There are casinos that have fewer games while some also could have more games but still need in the gambling space with less reputation. Reputable is very important in how legit a gambling platform could be.

Before you consider using a particular gambling site, the first thing you should check out is the reputation of the gambling site. After checking the reputation of the gambling site, some people are going to check if they are going to submit their identity before they can make use of the gambling site. You might not have any problem submitting your identity, but there are still some people who do not like it, they want to be anonymous. Since there are reputable gambling sites that don’t require KYC,  I will prefer to make use of them.

Sorry, the information I got might be outdated. I haven't really visited the official site of the casino since I'm not one of the players. Thank you for the correction. So, they just recently acquired a license since the information I got was last updated in 2023?

I don't know when they acquired a license. Moneypot and Bustabit were owned by the same person, I checked Moneypot's ann thread and discovered that Moneypot has been a fully incorporated company in Costa Rica since 2015. If Moneypot has had a Costa Rica license since 2015, then I think Bustabit might have owned a Costa Rica license for years or since the day it was created.

So this is where the problem gets worse if you file a case against them. If you are from the Philippines, you need to go to Costa Rica to file a case? That's too expensive as traveling alone would already cost you a lot of money.

It's very expensive to hire a lawyer and take legal action against crypto casino, especially when it's based overseas and is not a local company. That's why 1xBit has been scamming people for so many years.

I don't know if there are still a few casinos that could pass this requirement. I tried to check, but the popular ones here already require KYC. Though not all of them require it right away, if you read their TOS, you'll see that KYC can be required. It's up to them when they'll initiate it. I believe it's not attractive to gamblers if they require KYC for every new signup, as it could discourage them.

Anyway, as long as we know from the start that they are a KYC casino, we should already expect that our account might be subject to KYC at any time. Since we choose to use them, we should be ready to comply anytime.

With KYC.

I have no problem with KYC as long as it is a reputable casino or sports bookie. And we do have lots of good names here in our forum like Stake.com, Sportsbet.io, and more. I would not mind giving my information out and this is also in case I win lots of money, I won't have any trouble with them and they won't give me a hard time to withdraw and receive it.

Sure, we are in the cryptocurrency industry where privacy is important. But this are gambling sites who are also trying not to get in trouble with the government so they may continue their business.

[Kavelj22]

Let's talk about KYC and non-KYC casinos. There are many casinos in the space, and probably most of them require KYC ^{(Know Your Customer)} since they hold a license. However, some do not promote that requirement. In fact, I've read comments mentioning that there are casinos which initially claim they don't require KYC but later do, based on their own judgment.

So, if we could find a casino that genuinely adheres to what they advertise (whether as a non-KYC or KYC casino), which one would we trust to gamble with? Additionally, if you have doubts, what are the risks you might be taking that could bother you while regularly gambling at such a casino?

Although I consider myself one of the most supportive of privacy in the crypto space, I always advise beginners to choose platforms that are known for their reliability and that are always centralized platforms that operate under activity licenses and therefore will impose KYC identity verification procedures. The experience can be considered somewhat safer, and the user can contact support or any legal authority in the event of any problem with the casino system.

Personally, I strongly refuse to use any anonymous platform that does not operate according to legal licenses, because these are the only guarantees for me as an online user, especially since I am in a country that does not support the activities of its citizens on the Internet, especially gambling activities.

It is true that decentralized platforms guarantee a greater degree of privacy, but they require great knowledge of how to use them and do not have all the features that central casinos provide. Maybe that's why it's not in great demand.

For me, there is no problem if a casino has KYC requirements as long as it is a reputed gambling platform. I don't think it's a big deal to me. Especially if I'm also enjoying the casino
platform I'm playing on, which has all the games I want to bet on.

Also, usually the casino games I play are regulated gambling platforms, and in that case, I expected that they really have a KYC that is required once you enter or play for the first time
on the casino platform.

I think KYC-based casinos are more trusted because having a KYC can also mean that they now have a license and having a license is what scares them to do an unwanted thing because their identity is already recorded and they will be hunted down easily if let say they commit such act.

For some users, maybe their definition of trust is different and they think those who demand a KYC is the one who is not trusted because they might keep or stole our details, and worse sell it to someone else. We don't know what happens, next. Maybe those people will try to impersonate us for their shady doings and the blame will be put to us. That's scary.

[darkangel11]

Definitely the one that doesn't.
IMO casinos that require KYC put my private data at risk and I don't want someone to use my identity.
I'm aware of data leaks and know that companies like to sell stuff to bad actors who will later target them with ads and use that data to create fake IDs.
There's always a risk that a casino promotes itself as KYC free just to get more players and later scam them, but that's the risk I'm willing to take.

License isnt everything but somewhat this could really be giving out that kind of confidence on which you could really be able to tell into yourself that they are really that having that kind of legitimacy since they are licensed but we do know that there are licensed ones who do end up on scamming or closing up their doors on which leaving behind those players locked up with their funds on which it do really sucks on having such condition. This is why it would really be that still situational on where you would really be that playing up but actually this isnt really that hard to consider because you could really always ask the community
if ever you would really be  tending to play on a new site or not really that been heard of but well it would be just that impossible that you cant really be able to point out
on what are the things that you are dealing of with. It would be common sense that you would be sticking into those legit ones.

[alani123]

If a casino is trusted overall this is only secondary to me.
Me personally, I'm lucky enough to live in a country that is allowed through most KYC'd services so KYC doesn't bother me.
The issue however is when a provider isn't trustworthy. What happens for example if the Terms of Service are updated one day to exclude my country and therefore I'm banned from my winnings because I didn't follow the rules? If a provider wants to cheat you out of winnings they could do it. So first of all to me overall trust of a gambling provider is number one. If they have minimum proven disputes it's the best for me.
Light KYC also doesn't bother me even as a prerequisite. Non-KYC casinos often have worse odds in sports gambling so I'd make a small sacrifice to be able to earn more long term if I win.

Of course, because it is casino that has good reputation and has enormous trust from all its customers, even customer trust can be seen from how many loyal customers they have who are always active every day.
KYC is only requested if necessary and this has been stated in the TOS they have, but it would be better to complete it from the first time register so that we can be much more comfortable and avoid things such as suspicion regarding the activities we carry out in certain conditions.
But unfortunately some gamblers don't think so and there are still many who avoid KYC for reasons of privacy or protecting their personal identity so that bad things such as customer information leaks don't happen.

So that is the main basis that must always be paid attention to, every gambler must be able to understand it, this is gambling and in the form of crypto basis, there are several countries that have prohibitions on this activity.
Everything is also done for the smooth running of business and also for mutual comfort between gamblers and the gambling site itself.

In my country too, there are many national casinos which doesn't really require customers to perform KYC before you can use the casino. It's only a few international casino that I have done KYC verification on and I don't use them frequently. Since I am mostly bet only on sport games, I frequently use the casinos that is operating only in my country. Some casinos actually allows customers to gamble and withdraw without passing their KYC but if the user neglects any of the casino rules, that's only when they would be required to perform the KYC.

[ethereumhunter]

I will do KYC if the casino have good reputation among the other casino and that casino have license. That casino should asks their members to do KYC instead to asks that when their members wins much money. Their customer will see that the casino wants everything transparant so the casino asks their members doing KYC to make sure that they will not have a problem. Many casino now asks for KYC so we will difficult to finds the casino without asking KYC.

Even if that exist, we must be careful and make sure that the casino have good reputation or not because many casinos can turn becomes scam. If the casino promote that they don't require KYC, we must asks about that to make sure with contacting their support system so we can knows if they are not asking KYC, even if we wins much money. But if they tells that there are a limitation for their members to free from KYC, that will be up to us to continue or search for the other casino.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

I’d be more inclined to trust a casino that requires KYC. One of the reasons they might require KYC is due to regulatory pressures from governments that require them to comply with rules to offer services in that country.

A casino that is doing everything to try and be a reputable business is mote trustworthy in my opinion. Obviously nothing is guaranteed though.

[Issa56]

I will do KYC if the casino have good reputation among the other casino and that casino have license

Yeah, I will also do KYC if it’s a reputable gambling site, and I have no other alternative left, but let me ask you a question. if you are given the opportunity to choose between a casino that requires KYC and one that doesn’t, which one are you going to choose if the two casinos have an equal reputation? Some people don’t really know the implications of submitting their identities anyhow. That’s why even on some sites that are not really legitimate, immediately they request for kyc, some people will complete it immediately, and they don’t know the implications of doing that.

I also don't have a problem with KYC at the casino. but some casinos do not ask their users to directly carry out KYC at the beginning of account creation. Casino users can create an account and immediately make a deposit then play. As long as you don't carry out suspicious activities, the casino will not ask for KYC. and some users are asked for KYC after winning and making a withdrawal.
Some users complained about this problem, which could actually be written in the casino rules which the user might have missed. when we understand how the casino operates and know the casino rules, it is actually not that difficult to provide KYC. but some gamblers do have problems with KYC. it is a choice.

[Justbillywitt]

I don't have any problem with kyc casino provided the casino will deliver quality service. What I'm after is my satisfaction as a gambler. When I say satisfaction, I mean delivery if quality services, prompt payment of my winnings. It could be that the regulations require them to run kyc so I don't mind passing kyc. Gambling is not illegal, the casino just want to know the details of their customers, so I can provide it for them without thinking it twice. Moreover I have always submitted my documents to banks, immigration services, government establishments and so on without any reservation. My choice for KYC casino is that they will offer good services as they have known that you are a loyal customer who has went through the stress of entrusting them with your details, so they understand that it's only their quality service that made you do such a thing and they wouldn't want to disappoint you, hence my choice for a KYC casino.

So, if we could find a casino that genuinely adheres to what they advertise (whether as a non-KYC or KYC casino), which one would we trust to gamble with? Additionally, if you have doubts, what are the risks you might be taking that could bother you while regularly gambling at such a casino?

Actually in current days the number of scammers is increasing day by day and in case of non-kyc casino's they have to be decentralized And in my opinion the number of scammers is higher in decentralized casinos  and if you looking for the licenced casinos you will not find in the case of decentralized casinos so choosing non-kyc have a chances to scam.
And this is the reason I'm playing on kyc required casino's there are multiple casinos in my choice like the Duel bits, Rollbits, Stake etc. These casinos already gain the trust of the community and also mine and I don't see any hidden terms like the don't ask the kyc and after withdrawing and something else cause so these are fair enough in my view

[Sunderland]

In trusting a casino, the most important thing is a reputation, KYC or No KYC actually does not have a significant impact on user trust.
I will still trust casinos that have been operating for a long time and have a good reputation even if they dont have a license and dont ask for KYC.
But for new casinos, obviously I will only choose officially licensed casinos even though they are required to do KYC.

[0t3p0t]

I think casino's that requires KYC sounds more legit or trustworthy especially if it has additional good reputation from it's players. But nowadays seems non-KYC casinos are booming esepcially in Telegrams and other web3 platforms I think though I am not that sure because I never have tried on yet but it actually caught my attention recently however I had to wait for more extra time to gather positive and honest feedbacks from other players before jumping into it.

I think it depends on the reputation of the casino, but generally, when a casino operates under a license, they tend to have more trust from the community because they feel like they can't just close shop and go away whereas a casino that doesn't have a valid license can do that without any problem because they don't have a license from a licensing firm and they are in no way bound to keep operating legally.

For me, I would say that I wouldn't have a problem gambling in a casino that doesn't require KYC or have a license as long as it has a good reputation in the gambling community because if they have been operating for some time, they wouldn't scam their gamblers, besides, I never deposit a lot of money, so I won't have a problem even if things go south.
