Can we really trust a casino that advertises anonymous gambling?

[Solosanz]

Yeah, why not?

Even having license and regulated, it doesn't mean the casino will never scam and they will refund our money in case they went bankrupt.

I treat the security and safety between unlicensed casino and licensed casino is same, as long as the casino don't have a valid accusations, they're worth to try. Although, I judge the UI/UX too, if the sites have a terrible UI/UX, I high likely will avoid it.

Some people are not concerned about KYC. You should noticed that on this forum that most of us are not concerned about KYC. We even see it as privacy invasion. What we are most concerned about is reputation. Yes, people will use a gambling site that has good reputation.

As long as the services provided are running smoothly and the deposit and withdrawal are error free with decent user interface and good bonus points as well. These are what a player wants. In addition, reputation is a also vital which is an added advantage.

There are sites that shows how poor the service will be without even starting to register, that alone will signal you to be careful before depositing.

An online casino that has been operating for a while won't shut down immediately just because they are not asking for KYC (Know Your Customer) from their customers. It doesn't work that way. Eventually, regulators will warn a casino, and they must comply with the law.

Unless a casino chooses to ignore these regulators, there shouldn't be any major issues. Personally, whether or not I consider a casino without KYC doesn't matter to me at the moment; what really matters is the quality of the service they provide. If the service is good enough, such a casino will attract a lot of attention over time.

Regulators tend to target online casinos that have built a reputation, rather than new ones, as many new casinos often go out of business. So, if your casino is gaining popularity, be prepared for regulators to come knocking at your door.

A casino's reputation precedes it's registration and KYC requirements, a scam casino can also get a license and KYC requirement so we should put our trust on reputation. Reputation is something that is earned over a period of time and gamblers that patronizes their site will rate them as trustworthy, this is what matters, not really KYC. Reputation means that you're not told stories or be delayed when you want to withdraw your wins, especially when it's huge. People wants to gamble and have fun without being bothered about KYC and I believe that reputable casinos don't care about your KYC, it is necessitated because of government regulations.

[Dailyscript]

When you speak of trust KYC does not give any good reasons why you should trust a casino. There are many casinos out there with or without KYC that has bad reputation from users. Such casino should be avoided. If you want to check a good casino it has to be from the review of people that you know are using the casino regularly.

that is actually true, most of us are not even concerned about kyc because we don't want to reveal our true identity. i have seen so many people that preferably chose a reputable casino over kyc and some don't care atoll. and moreover majority of casinos are kyc free and are not even reputable and yet people don't care but keeps of signing up. all what they need is a gambling site they will play their game and withdraw their money if won.  

[Mrbluntzy]

There are some new casinos that will emerge with fascinating features but deep down, they are not reputable enough to be trusted and any gambler that eventually use the casino and make deposit a huge amount, the person can be scammed. I can trust and gamble on a casino that promotes anonymous gambling but what will determine my decision to gamble on the casino is if they are reputable enough. We need to be sure we are using a reputable casino to avoid scam.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

Once a gambler feels he has all it takes to use and enjoy the gambling platform, be it anonymous one and the one that is not anonymous, all that matters is in dealing with the one that can be trusted, people don't want to fall into hands of scamming casino, if they are reliable and can be trusted, gamblers will not have issues with using them, this is the truth about what most gamblers want and some will also have to tell you they support the KYC gambling platform while some will not.

Well fairly many of the casinos advertised here don't force their users into making use of KYC. For most of them KYC is optional and for that reason it gives them the edge of having more users since both customers that do not wish to share KYC data can register and those that prefer KYC can also use them.
As for the part of safety I think most users will prefer not to share their KYC data especially those that are privacy conscious and most of them don't leave huge funds on their casino wallets since most times when they win they remove most of the cash.

Assuming that anonymous gambling is what I prefer. Casinos that are not registered and are anonymous are scam. The first red flag. They are going to one day, vanish away with with your money and there

Or would you rather stick to regulated and reputable casinos?

I'm sticking with the safest platform where I know my deposit will be safe.

Of course I will stick to the one without a license and does not have a bad reputation, because going for those ones that requires KYC verification can be very risky sometimes. Because most of this betting platforms is not trustworthy, which is why I will always prefer betting on the platform that doesn't require KYC. Though majority of this betting platforms don't always require this KYC verification yet their users don't always complain about such site being a scam or not, reason been that they always provide them with what ever thing they request for.

That's certainly a red flag, so I won't risk my money on that anonymous casino. The fact that certain casino operates without a license, then it shouldn't be trusted at all. Yes, it could be a non-KYC that's more convenient for us, but what if its payout method messes up, then it would turn to be a wrong decision risking our money into it. So definitely, it's a big NO for me.

You said without reputation, everything starts one day; I will have to hold on and wait for the casino to grow up a bit to a certain level—that is, if they are entirely new—so that I can see some testimony from genuine users who have experienced their service and confirmed that they are to be trusted, even as I'm a gambler who gambles with a small amount of money. They are still precious to me, and I need to be careful with who I entrust them with.

One thing I know about any business, been reputable before doesn't mean they can't pull any strings later, there are some casino here that has work for 3-4 years and ended with bad reputation after all the things they have done here, it never ended well, this can be any casino that we all think are good today. The ones that are reputable today were also doubts by some people once, so there is nothing bad trying it out too, time will tell if the can be trusted or not.

Alot of gamblers are already used to regulated casino, I don't think many people will care if a casino is anonymous or not as long it's allowing them to deposit with speed, play without any glitch or trick to scam them and able to withdraw their money without any problem. Only few gamblers really care about the anonymousity and privacy that a casino can provide especially a gambler that understands how privacy works and doesn't want to compromised it for anything.

It's always important to stick to a casino that we knows too well that is reputable than using an anonymous casinos that has no reputation, and we know we talks about reputation and without reputation it could be hard for people to go gamble there.
Most of the casinos that preaches anonymity are casinos that easily asked for additional verification whenever they suspect anti-money laundry operation they would still request for additional verification and source of funds.

Very few casinos without license will operate in a good way. Though license is not the only measure to determine whether the site will be reputable or not, but in the current setting, it is already a must to have a license to safeguard online gamblers. But if you are just playing small and you don't worry about the reputation, it is fine to play in nonlicensed casino. But as much as possible they have quite good reputation in the gambling community.

With the consideration in terms of legal operations, I would say, I will only deposit small amount of money to nonlicensed casinos. Because if they are not licensed yet up until now, it means, they don't care about the legality of their status. And the market is changing even with online gambling. It is like they are operating their business without permit for those nonlicensed ones.

[Saint-loup]

If it's a decentralized platform allowing to place bets from the wallet or a betting exchange, I wouldn't care if it is appropriately licensed or not to be honest. Because those platforms are very unlikely to scam their users or customers, especially the real decentralized platforms since they can't lock your wallet and usually they use smart contracts to place bets.

It is true gamblers will stay where they feel comfortable. Though, even though some of them would not mind to gamble in a unlicensed and unregulated casino, still the ideal scenario would be to only engage in regulated and licensed webpages, at least those have some kind of warranty being given by some government which issues the license, you know.
On the other hand, even though some unlicensed casinos can have the best intentions for the gamblers, the party can still be ruined by regulators who could go for the closure of the website for not being properly registered.

So, it is better to stick to licensed and regulated casinos with have a proven track record of serving their gambler in a proper and responsible way.

I have no problem with playing as long as they are paying and have addressed all issues, but this kind of casino is not sustainable; the top casinos in the industry are still centralized, and the gambling community tends to trust casinos that are regulated to the extent of paying for their licenses that amount to thousands of dollars.
A casino that does not ask for KYC is always suspected of being a channel of money laundering and there's always possibility of casino taking their platform down compared to centralized.

I won't trust any casino that advertised anonymous gambling, I won't trust them because I don't know what they'll do with my money or maybe when I win and request for the payout. They can always refuse and manipulate their games and we won't be aware because there's no one monitoring them since they're not centralized and being made to get a license. Anonymous gambling can be fun but what's the guarantee that you'll be getting your victory payouts. Anonymous don't work out for everything, there are things that need trust to be built and trust can't be built with someone you aren't seeing or you don't know to hold responsible for your money. Gambling anonymously is different from sending money anonymously with Bitcoin. Gambling anonymously, you're doing that at your own risk.
