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

[Accardo]

Something like this is Extremely dangerous, I would never take a risk like that ,  plus there are exchanges that when large transactions are made they require a quick KYC , if something facial, or sending a video in real time, the casinos cannot have that same security and they can do it, that's where it all falls apart, it's a double-edged sword, the truth is it's more bad than Good.

The high rate of KYC account vendors displays the demand is also high. Gamers have different reason to boycott restrictions, some who purchase the sold accounts don't want to submit any of their documents. The interest may not be money for all buyers, it could just be to enjoy gaming while feeling safe and anonymous. The risks are there, but not everyone cares so much about it judging from how the product is made available for players to buy.

For gaming accounts, this might not affect the buyer too much, but in the context of gambling, it can have a significant impact on the gambler/buyer side. Imagine buying an account and then winning a jackpot? What you can do, if you had to re-verify to withdraw that money? Asking the first account owner for help is risky, because if he seeing a lot of money won, he could run off with your money.

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?

Man, this might be practical, but I think it's very dangerous and definitely worse than not playing at all.
First, because you are comitting fraudulent misrepresentation and if the casino or some other authority traces your account, it will cause you a lot of problems. Have you ever thought about using an account of criminal and the police knocking on your door because tracked you by your IP address?
There is also the security issue, because whoever sold the access also has access to the account, either by password or alternative recovery methods. So, if you have a large balance there, the account seller could try to recover it and steal your funds.

But you know what is even worse? Because of people like this, who sell their accounts, everyone ends up being penalized... because in an attempt to curb this fraud, casinos have to further tighten KYC rules, harming even those who have always played legally.

In my country, physical casinos are prohibited and gambling sites other than sports are also restricted, but that doesn't mean I would accept buying an account to take a risk.

It is not worth buying a sold KYC account just to gamble. We don't know if that account is clean or not although the seller claims that it is a clean account. Besides that, how do you prove yourself to the casino if they want you to verify the account if they are suspicious? All things will be different than what its written on that account.

Bad or not will depend on you because you can determine by yourself if you really need that sold KYC account or it is better to verify your account with your ID. Whatever your reason is, that is still not worth it because you might risk yourself when the casino asks you to complete more verification.

The option is yours so you should know what you choose.

I think it is bad because there is already a restriction applied and yet we are thinking of ways on how to possibly bypass it. You may not be doing anything that is illegal like money laundering, scamming, hacking, etc... but with that act alone, it is already deemed as illegal.

I am not sure if this is a trend already since I don't really see a lot of people looking for a verified casino account but that was better because not only the gambler is affected here but also the seller. It isn't worse if you can't play gambling at all. The world had evolve greatly now and there are now lots of alternative out there to enjoy oneself. In fact, with that reason, many can get overwhelmed and just choose to have a peace of mind instead by the doing the most simple things in life .

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.

What you are explaining is a case that barely happens, as part of the danger that comes with using an already KYCed account, but the greater danger most of the time lies with the original owner of the document. If such an account is used to commit fraud, the person with information on the account will be the one to be held accountable, and the buyer has a higher risk of losing whateverthey have on that account. If they eventually have any big win that requires further information which they can't provide, the casino can decide to forfeit whatever balance they have.

Even though what I explained in my previous post barely happens, people should always carry out due diligence on anything they are doing to know all the possible risks associated with the thing so that they will know how to avoid any possible problem that may arise in the future. I don't support buying already KYC account because if the person that sold the account to you uses the account for any fraudulent activity, you may likely go down for it if you can't provide the person.

Undeniably, this is a common alternative I see on online social media platforms. I often find sellers selling verified casino accounts at varying prices depending on the level. They only provide the buying and selling service after both parties agree to the risks. That's roughly what I observed from the seller's description.

Is this a crime? Of course.
Are there any alternatives? So far, none, unless gamblers voluntarily submit and comply with KYC regulations if they truly want to play safely.

Worse as in if casino requires you to do re-kyc, you'll be fucked, or may be you can just use somebody's account but don't deposit much funds so in case even if you are asked for re-kyc, you can just stop using the account.

The casinos are fully aware that gamblers buy and sell accounts amongst themselves. That is why we often see regular KYC verifications from them from time to time. Why will they ask for regular verifications when they already have your details? That is because they want to be sure the account is still with the original owner. You can't use a bought account and feel relaxed, anything can happen at anytime, which includes being locked out for failing to meet KYC requirements.

That's honestly not my greatest fear about bought accounts, my fears is being held accountable for something I know nothing about because I am using another person's identity to gamble freely. That alone is a huge offence which I don't want to get caught up in.

I don't know how much it will cost but it will be expensive because legally it is not possible for sale the gambling accounts so in the unregulated market the sky is the limit as long as someone is desperate enough to buy it. The money may not be the real problem but they are taking complete risk with every deposit because if the casino decides to ask for random verification which is triggered by a change in location or change in betting/deposit pattern, then you will be left with nothing to prove who is the real owner of the account.

What you wrote does not make sense at all. The buyer is not at risk of anything. You are buying a clean account or getting someone do to KYC on your own account. The person who did the KYC can't commit any fraud as they don't have access to the account. You got the order of everything reversed.

When the laws are overreaching and dumb people will find ways around them. If the KYC laws were not stupid people would not be bypassing them. The KYC industry is massive and is not only about gambling.

For gaming accounts, this might not affect the buyer too much, but in the context of gambling, it can have a significant impact on the gambler/buyer side. Imagine buying an account and then winning a jackpot? What you can do, if you had to re-verify to withdraw that money?

This is not an issue if you live life appropriately. When you want to do something like this you must analyze all the potential consequences ahead of time. Knowing the consequences you are accepting them. If you get into a re-verification issue it is a consequence that you have accepted ahead of time and you gracefully forfeit the winnings.

It does not make sense to you because you have a limit to how far you can think and imagine things, not like others. Anyone who looks beyond just the advantage of identity theft should be able to grasp what I'm saying.

When Member A uses his document to verify the account and sell it to Member B, the account might be a clean account, but have you imagined if Member B, who bought the account, uses it for illicit activities? Who do you think will be held accountable, the person who bought the account or the person whose information is linked to the account? And to the person who bought the account, what do you think will happen if, after spending so many times playing in the casino, they eventually hit the jackpot and the casino happens to request further information to verify further, which only the original document owner can verify.

English is not too hard to understand, just that some are too blinded by ignorance, which limits them from understanding the exact information a content might be passing.

There is no identity theft involved in this transaction.

When Member A uses his document to verify the account and sell it to Member B, the account might be a clean account, but have you imagined if Member B, who bought the account, uses it for illicit activities? Who do you think will be held accountable, the person who bought the account or the person whose information is linked to the account?

What you wrote now is the exact opposite of what you wrote initially. You wrote that if the account is used to commit fraud the buyer has a higher risk of losing whatever they have on that account.   Which obviously does not make sense. Nobody except the buyer can do anything with that account and the buyer is not going to put his funds at risk by committing fraud. These two things have nothing to do with each other. Learn the basics of punctuation and sequential writing.

Funny given that you are a 3rd world shitposter that does not know elementary school grammar. Just one of many Stake.com's retards.

Buying or using someone else’s KYC account is definitely risky — not just legally, but also for your funds, since you’re trusting shady sellers. I get why players feel pushed in that direction with all the restrictions, but in the long run it’s a dangerous workaround that can cause more problems than it solves.

[justinlamode]

If you purchase KYC from social media, you are simply postponing the dooms day because in a matter of time, it will boomerang and what you are trying to evade will e staring in your face with two eyes wide open. There are casinos that allow you to gamble without KYC, why not stay with them instead of taking the risk of buying KYC from people you may not be able to reach should the casino request for additional KYC or document.

Even if you're buying it for gaming is not safe, because he already have his name saved in that casino and once the name aligned with the Bank details that is already available in the casino there's no way you will add a different account details that it would work, unless the account details is also having that same name this already saved in that betting account. The same thing applicable when you're using it as a business account, I would prefer creating a New one Instead of facing those unnecessary challenge.

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.

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?

Yes, buying a KYC verified account is actually worse than not gambling at all, despite whatever region you may find yourself, because it is even better to gamble on a casino that accepts people from your region, rather than go for that with restrict your country and then opt into buying a verified KYC account.  Because what if a situation happens whereby you are asked to confirmed your identity when you try to initiate a withdrawal, what will you do? Because since it is an account you bought and no longer have access to the documents that was used for the verification, you will stand a risk of losing your account when you fail to verify or either the initiated person you bought the  account might want to charge you an extra fees to re-confirm the KYC back again. So it very risky to buy a verified KYC account.

Even reliable casinos which advertise themselves as non-KYC around the internet, if they are regulated and have a legal registration,.then they are very likely to ask for full KYC in the scenario of having to hand over money to a lucky gambler who desires to withdraw their prize.
So, if we consider there are people out there on the internet who want to have a neglectable digital footprint, it makes sense there could be people willing to take risks like that one and buy accounts

That would be unfortunate for a buyer who don't know the rule. Some other players who purchase accounts are aware of the need of KYC recheck after winning big and would go ahead to buy more after a certain amount of ban. Some farm bonus, also the vendor may have guaranteed to give KYC whenever it's required again. No doubt vendors do rug pull given access to the account, not all are corrupt. The industry is not a joke, most shops won't see a reason to lose their reputation.

That's correct. Instead of taking the risk of using someone else's identity to gamble, simply go for no-KYC casinos. Now the problem is, are there really no-KYC casinos? Some casinos use the no-kyc thing to attract gamblers to their casino then suddenly change their stance on kyc just when the gambler begins to feel comfortable or when there is a huge winning.

Every gambler should just feel free with the KYC thing because they are still going to meet it anyway. Even with the purchase of the KYC account, there's no guarantee that they will not be undergoing KYC verifications subsequently on that same account.
