Is buying KYC accounts really worse than not gambling at all?

[Mr. Magkaisa]

With so many restrictions now, some players are turning to ready-made KYC accounts being sold on social media just to get around the blocks and keep playing. On the surface, it sounds shady, but then again, what’s the alternative? For a lot of gamblers in restricted regions, it’s either that or don’t play at all.

You are not just gambling in the casino but on the account itself. that is very dangerous. You could end up losing your BIGWIN and someone can withdraw that money.

I have a story to tell but not with casino. I created a steam account and we know that anyone can put money on that or earn.
It was an extra email and not a primary account(well i dont really use steam) it was hack! until now the hacker have access on it.
I am not doint anything to recover or change pass, but i can monitor when he/she log on it and once or twice a week he is checking the account maybe to see if there will be some amount to be hack.

It can happen  the same thing on that account. the seller have the access to that account no matter what as a creator.
SO be safe and never buy an account.

If you think about it, casinos are already forcing stricter KYC, regulators are cutting off payment channels, and VPNs are everywhere.

So maybe it’s not surprising that people see buying a KYC account as the “lesser evil” compared to being shut out completely.

So I’m curious...

Is it really that bad if someone uses a sold KYC account just to gamble, especially if they’re not doing anything illegal with the funds?
Do you see this trend as dangerous, or just the natural result of over-restrictive rules?

There's way too much danger involved with trading accounts if you intend to have any larger amounts flowing through it. You will always face the risk that the original owner tries to claim it back and they have all the KYC documentation required to prove that it's their account. Accounts get hacked all the time, so you'll never know whether the owner willingly resold their account (against the terms) or it was taken from them. There are just too many outcomes that might result in the account getting shut down or taken back. Casinos have to take action any time it seems like an account has been compromised or is in some way abusing it's terms - like having a customer sign up from Europe but constantly logging in with an American IP address

Transferring the ownership of a casino account is prohibited by them so you are at 100% risk of losing all your deposit if there is time comes when they ask for KYC all of a sudden and using the purchased account does no good to you and the casino may suspect this immediately when they see the change of locations from the previous owner.

So it is better to explore the alternatives like no KYC casinos which may still offer services to restricted countries.

I am not sure what a gambler who buys an account that has already been KYC-verified wants just to keep playing. If their old account is restricted and they cannot access it due to the restriction, wouldn't the system detect it and also restrict the account they purchased? 
I think there is more than just the desire to continue playing at a certain casino that makes a gambler buy an account. It could be at the VIP level, where the account indeed has attractive bonus offers.

Actually, those who buy accounts from other identities usually do it for laundering money or to take advantage of the casino. It is not really about privacy for most of the time. They are really doing something shady. I mean there are casinos out there who do not require KYC so why not just use that instead of buying other accounts and threaten having to be investigated?

The alternative is to find gambling services which would not be restricted in your country. internet is huge, almost infinite it only takes time and research.
Buying account in such a manner is dangerous, not only for the person who give their KYC information, but also for the person who is using it to sell it and those who buy those account for the sake of gambling.
The person selling their information could get in trouble with justice for being mistakenly linked to financial crimes and the person buying those account could get all their deposited money taken from them when the casino realizes there is identity fraud going on.

It is better just do all our gambling activities legally and not to risk to get in trouble with justice and the administration of the casino, as simple as that...

[mindrust]

This is not a good idea. If you bought a KYC account, you were already scammed for buying someone else’s account and you’ll probably get scammed one more time when you try to withdraw your funds. As other forum members said above, casinos can demand your documents multiple times. Just because you submitted your docs once doesn’t mean you are in the clear forever.

This is bad, bad advice. The solution is simple. Avoid KYC casinos. You don’t really have play on those platforms. Go to some other casino and play there. Use decentralized casinos. Players have the power, not the casinos. Teach them that we don’t want any of that KYC bullshit.

Better you do not gamble, rather than you have to buy an online gambling account for gambling, you will bear all risks of the first activity and now of course you cause financial losses.

You buy an online gambling account if you are found out, you can only look at it without being able to do anything, in general gambling accounts are sold very quickly by the casino, Of course they know better how, for that for your own real account to go to you as much as you can, rather than you have to bear all the risks that can happen without you expect.

The risk of buying a gambling account by, can be lost money and can be lost the account that is purchased/blocked and other risks KYC process and so on, even though the account is passing by KYC, what if there is maintenance of the casino system, then you are told to re -KYC, of ​​course you can't do anything not.

[danherbias07]

The danger will always be there.

Let's say the account is clean and has not done any illegal activities at all. But what if the account was taken back by the old owner using legal ways, like resetting passwords because he has the documents and claiming the account back. That's also one thing that we should think about.

Buying a KYC'ed account is only for people who have done illegal things and cannot KYC themselves, or they are minors trying to gamble. If you are the seller, you will also have to think about selling it because it could be used for something illegal.

It is better to use VPN than to engage in buying of KYC account to gamble. The bought account could be a hacked or used for criminal activities. This could cause bigger problem for you more than other measures. It would be better to use casinos that waives KYC than to use a strange identity. I have seen someone that was arrested in my country due to the KYC he used. The account was used to scam someone and the law enforcement agencies tracked him through the bought KYC. He had to do a lot of explanation before he was vindicated. But it cost him money and some months in detention. Come to think of it, using bought KYC is against the ToS of casinos and if it is discovered your account can be freezed.  

[Kelward]

Just imagine you bought KYC account from someone, you deposit thousand dollars there, then your account gets blocked due to the suspicious activity. When Casino forces you to provide further data related to your account, you can't do that caused by the guy who KYCing your account was disappeared. Your money locked there forever. That ilustration already explain well whether is good or bad buying KYC account from someone else.

Simply put it is dangerous to use somebody's KYC verified account to gamble because you're liable to anything negative that happens to the account. If the account is being monitored for suspicions you will be directly involved and any funds that you have deposited will be frozen. Instead of buying a KYC account you can simply register in another casino and do your own authentic KYC. Gamblers that do this are at the risk of inheriting anything that the original account owner was, if it is criminal activities he also has indirectly become involved

[BitMaxz]

If I am in the region where I am restricted to gamble, I won't buy a ready KYC account because there are some persons who will force other people to use their documents and pass KYC on a gambling site, and when they have passed the KYC, they will sell the account to the people in the region where gambling is restricted. And if you mistakenly buy that type of ready KYC account, and the government finds out you used another person's document to pass KYC on a gambling site, you will be in  trouble for identity theft, and the only way you can prove that you are innocent is to provide the person that sold the account to you.

I believe it is safe if he purchased the KYCed account through a trusted friend who lives in a non-restricted country and is easy to contact. So, if the casino requires additional documents, he can immediately contact his friend and request them.
Or let your friend log into your account and fix it for you.
The only risk here is that your friend decides to scam you and report you for hacking his/her account, which I do not believe will happen if he/she is a close friend.

[Agbamoni]

Buying KYC casino accounts on the internet is not a good thing to do. Most KYC are passed with false documents while some are done with stolen document. Gambling with such account will keep your wallets exposed to high risk of either freezing the account or getting arrested for fraudulent act of which you know nothing about.

However, I wont blame individuals who buy these accounts because of restrictions or ban in their country. They are left with no option. If I were in that situation I would equally do the same thing.

How desperate can someone be to buy KYC accounts from others not knowing if those details are actually authentic. It's not Wise to buy such, most people are even stupid enough to purchase them on the dark web where scammers and dishonest people can sell accounts with false documents. The only thing you can do is to register on another casino instead of using someone else's informations

The risks are very high. First, you can be scammed and the person who claims to have the account can take your money and not give you a verified account. Second, you can buy an account limited by the casino. Third, you can buy an account and days later the casino confiscates your funds and makes you do KYC again. Don't forget that even if you do KYC, the casino can make you do it again if they want. Since you bought an account, you won't be able to do KYC. It simply doesn't make sense to take this high risk in buying an account.

That sounds so sketchy ive bever even thought of it but it seems like a really dumb idea to buy one lol. How are they going to even verify thst and how can you be sure it's not just a clever scammer tactic? I just dont think its wise to gamble on these sites if you can't do it legit then dont waste your time. Unless of course you have no other way lol

It's worse to buy a KYC account just to get around restrictions, for example.
At first, there may be no problems, but in the future, unexpected problems will arise from detected IPs or big wins, forcing the casino to request documents again, which makes it difficult for buyers.
It's better not to gamble at all than to buy a KYC account --- imagine thousands of dollars locked away, there will definitely be regrets in the end.

It is better to find a casino offering without KYC requirements rather than buying a KYC-ready account because of so many reasons. Do remember, once the credentials expired, the site will ask again your updated ID so how can you update if you can't contact anymore the original owner? That's only one thing to consider of. You still have others to think of such as possible bad history of the account to the site, so the account is already in the hit list of the site, if the site suddenly asks for a verification (how can you complete such step without tracking the original owner) and so much more. So are you ready to accept the potential issues that may arise if you happen to buy a kyc-ready account?

It’s actually a stupid move if you ask me, rather than risk your funds by using a site that has the document of a different person I’d simply just advise that you look for casinos that won’t demand for kyc and also allows the use of VPN. There are other ways around the restrictions without having to involve yourself in buying of KYCed account which in the long run would make you lose your money to the casino.

Incase you don’t know, sites like stake.com ask users that are already kyc verified to re-verify their account and if you happen to be one of those people who get asked to reverify their account you’ll be stuck and if you happen to have any funds in that account that would be the end of it since you won’t be able to submit the same documents that were used to verify their account account since you bought the account.

If the restrictions are just from a particular casino to some countries, it's better for the citizens touse another casino that accepts them rather than risk buying a KYCed account, and if it's a ban on the country, it's better they look for offshore casinos that don't require KYC than buy an account. You know the pain of winning money and being unable to withdraw it is higher than the pain of losing.
