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

[Nwada001]

They might do it due to anonymity, but it could also be on a scale of either the gambler might have been having issues with the casino already or they get themselves banned from the casino, which will restrict them from ever using that casino, and for them to still use that particular casino, they will have to purchase an already KYCed account, which will make it easier for them without thinking about the danger that might appear ahead.

The worst decision if so because when a gamblings site ban people from having access to their site they also monitors account IP and whenever it's detected to have anything to do with account B you would see them restricting such person whenever they secure huge winning they would use that to penalized the person who bought another kyced account to gamble sometimes they may required additional documentation but the buyer can't go back to request the real owe to come do further verification for them.

If it's just by tracking the gambler's IP, they will always have a way around to bypass that. Especially when they are doing it intentionally, they will use a VPN or whatever privacy tool that will not link account B back to their already disabled account. It will only get complicated if they get a big winning and the casino asks for further verification, which the seller of the account is not available to provide. The casino will only get the account locked but might not be able to link it to their disabled account.

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.

Definitely choose the latter option of not playing rather than risking the entire funds in your account.

Be reminded that majority of gambling casinos have stipulations on their ToS against purchasing ready-made KYC accounts due to security purposes. If they discover that you indeed purchased such account, then all of your funds will be confiscated without any recourse due to this violation.

Now let me ask you- which is more worth it?

• Not playing at all on that gambling website; or
• Purchasing a ready-made KYC account with that risk of losing all of your funds?

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?

It is definitely that BAD to purchase a sold KYC account.

Be reminded that the act itself is illegal- you are misrepresenting yourself with another person the moment you purchase that account. Even if the funds came from you, you are still using the account of another person with a different identity.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Don't forget that the personal details that was used to pass the KYC is not your own, so after buying the account and because of the use of VPN which the casino must have discovered on that account, they decided to ask you for another KYC detail to actually prove your place of residence, what would you do then? Can you still contact the person that sold the account to you? Not possible because those account seller are only after your money, after you pay them, they are off reach. You will suffer the risk of losing your money if the casino ask for any further KYC in the future.

For me it is. We dont know where that guy get his kyc or worse that person has a bad previous record on his kyc or so to say criminal one and upon using that you might caught up with his problem. Also I dont think using other peoples info just to gamble is good and will only leave harm than good. Too many red flags in doing this and the one I mentioned is the worse.

Anyway how bad it is to find a gambling casino that has no KYC and still be able to play with. I think Im not risking something like this for gambling.

The intention is always questionable to the sellers end and the risk always comes up for the buyer. That's why its really not good to buy KYC accounts since people doing it cannot assure that they are safe due to many things that might provably happen.

Also there's no need for them to do those things as there are so many online crypto casinos available and better for those people to choose those platforms on which they are allowed to play.

There's no sense to gamble if they know that they are been restricted since they are just digging hole to get serious issue if they push those things and do crazy decision like buying KYC accounts to random people online.

[batang_bitcoin]

There's no sense to gamble if they know that they are been restricted since they are just digging hole to get serious issue if they push those things and do crazy decision like buying KYC accounts to random people online.

I agree, it it no sense to gamble that when they are aware that it's not allowed to gamble and they've used others identity just for themselves.

Don't forget that the personal details that was used to pass the KYC is not your own, so after buying the account and because of the use of VPN which the casino must have discovered on that account, they decided to ask you for another KYC detail to actually prove your place of residence, what would you do then?

You will suffer the risk of losing your money if the casino ask for any further KYC in the future.

That's the risk in there, you'll never know if the casino you're playing asks you for another set of verification. While this is not happening at most times but you'd be surprise that this happens. We'd see these threads from other gamblers that they've been verified for the second time around and if the new owner who purchased these kyc accounts have no other identities from the original owners, they know what they deserve of what they did it makes no sense.

[bubilas]

I'd probably agree that it's better not to gamble at all than to try to buy illegal accounts created using other people's KYC and verified documents. Because if a gambler or bettor buys such an account, then if they win a lot, the casino or bookmaker might ask them for re-verification, which they'll naturally be unable to pass, since they'll have to show their real face. This would be a huge disappointment for them, and they'd suffer losses.

[Lida93]

Yes, I think that some players focus only on playing and do not want their money to be traceable, which I say can be dangerous and if they demand a quick or brief KYC, that they can ask for a video of your face, a selfie, that will be the problem, the person who sells Accounts like that must be sure that they will be contacted for that type of things.

If I was to be that individual I would make sure that should such situation arise where my face is needed to help pass KYC for someone I already sold my gambling account to, the individual must have to pay me before I do that for him. Reasons are that we're both taking risk. He took the risk of buying an account passed with another person's KYC, while I took the risk of selling him my account that's KYCed with my documents. What if he uses it for fraudulent activity?  Who does he think the authority would be after.

[LUCKMCFLY]

And that's the point why we discourage buying kyc accounts or verified ones from anybody. You gamble with your own money so it makes sense that you have to do it with your own account and not from anybody. Because out of nowhere you've won significant amount of money, you're going to have hard time in getting that if they start asking you a follow up kyc process. Are going to come by and ask the seller of that account to do it for you? they'd obviously ask for another payment if that's the case and the problem and process never stop from there.

For this and many other reasons, you should not buy KYC-verified accounts. Furthermore, playing on accounts like this, at least I would feel very uncomfortable There's nothing like having your own account, where there won't be any fears and everything is safer.

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?

It's a really dangerous idea to buy accounts, because you'll never really know if they're hacked and being sold on to you. It is just full of pitfalls of all different kinds, another one is the original owner waiting for you to make a deposit and then reaching out to the support team to recover the account with your money in it. There's no way you'd be able to dispute that recovery either, because that would signal that you broke the terms and had no right to use the account anyway. If you cannot create your own account for any reason then you should avoid playing at a casino, the best ones might refund your money when things go wrong but the worst ones will simply seize it - likely protecting themselves in the wording of the terms of service as well.

[LUCKMCFLY]

and what's the compelling reason to buy one? Is it because we can't meet the KYC requirements? I don't think that makes sense. If we're adults, it's a normal and necessary thing to do.

I think that people who do this risk buying verified accounts because they love their privacy and anonymity, they don't want to expose themselves for anything, so it's a risk they take, since mandatory KYC was implemented, they put an end to privacy and anonymity and many people don't like that.

[uneng]

I believe that was the initial reason why decentralized cryptocurrencies were introduced at first place, so people could negotiate and use their money freely on the internet without fearing retaliation from regulators and governments. 16 years later, here we are facing the same issue we used to face before crypto was widely introduced to the world. So, what is the whole point of cryptocurrency after all?

Regulators used crypto against its own adopters to make the government even stronger and more efficient watching each citizen closely. And the adopters seem to not care at all about it. They are just like cattle moving into the slaughterhouse passively.

And of course it's a big issue purchasing KYC accounts. It's faking your own ID and pretending you are another person. It's a serious and real crime. Keep in mind the problem here isn't to gamble, but to fake an ID.

Even in territories where gambling is illegal, it's not ethically wrong to gamble, but even if it was legal to fake an ID, it would be still wrong. It's not about the wicked rules men create and abolish accordingly to their personal interests, rather it's about the right still being the right thing, despite no one doing this, or the wrong still being the wrong thing, despite everyone doing this, or a law telling it's allowed.

That is understandable but when someone sells KYC services for their account, of course we realize whether or not this has an impact on the future of the account because it could be that what we buy from others can also be sold to other parties as well.

It's just like making us a hassle, besides that I also don't understand those who sell personal data whether they are not aware of the risks they will have later because after all, when referring to the words you gave, we should prefer to protect our personal data properly but casually there are many people who even sell personal data for not much money. For me, something like this is ridiculous.

First you are confusing cryptocurrencies with Bitcoin. Second, getting past KYC is not what Bitcoin was invented.

Nonsense, you have no idea what you are saying. Creating a fraudulent ID is an entirely different and bigger crime. Buying a KYC'd account is not even close to creating a fake ID. Many people have gone to prison for the creation of fake IDs and almost nobody has ever gone to prison for buying a KYC'd account from a willing person. You need to arrest the sellers first, which is never going to happen as there are many millions of them. If a person wants to give you their account, they should be allowed to. Disallowing them from sharing their information freely is extreme government overreach.

Buying KYC'd accounts can be seen as a response to the addition of the KYC system where it does not belong. People used to buy and trade all kinds of digital accounts freely. As more and more services add KYC where it does not belong this then leads to the market of accounts evolving. KYC in the casino industry does not accomplish anything. It does not reduce the amount of money laundering at all.

[rakebit]

Buying KYC accounts is far riskier, it’s not just against terms, but can lead to frozen funds or even legal issues. It’s better to play within verified platforms and manage risk responsibly. Do you think stricter KYC rules actually help reduce gambling abuse, or just push users to gray areas?

Not only the risk of account being freeze is the big issue rather the fact that the account can be recovered anytime by the original owner when they verify their ownership through KYC which an account buyer doesn’t have a way to prove its their ownership through KYC account.

There’s no sense on buying account too even with higher VIP since you will still need to wager big just to get a huge bonus from VIP benefits.

Stake is the only casino that rewards VIP account even without wager but now they decreased these bonus to significant amount which not worthy anymore if you will purchased an account.

How would you feel if you were talking to a nice girl on the internet, developing a relationship and scheduling an IRL meeting, but once you arrived there, you didn't see any female, but a man burning in love for you? Is that still ok to pretend being someone you aren't for real?

It must not be an issue if you are the deceiver, but put yourself on the deceived's shoes for a while and tell if it's still nonsense.

[Bitcoin Smith]

It is dangerous for the one who buy the account and also for the one who sells their account.

First let's see about the seller, he used his KYC to get verified so if the one who bought the account somehow successfully managed to launder money using that account for other things that may have serious consequences not just from casino bu from the government itself then you will be also facing the charges or even worse you could be considered the one who did it if the buyer managed to hide all the trails.

Now the buyer, he need to deposit funds to start gambling and we all know the casino can ask for the KYC on random day even for verified account and if that happens you can't access the balance until you find the seller and ask him to verify it for you.

[Strongkored]

Do you see this trend as dangerous, or just the natural result of over-restrictive rules?

Perhaps only very active players who also have a lot of funds to gamble understand why buying an account that has already been KYCed is their choice.

This can look bad because it's not a common practice, leading to suspicions that it's being used for illegal purposes.
A player who purchases an account could face serious consequences if the casino becomes suspicious of their activity and requests additional documentation. If it turns out to be inconsistent with the original documentation, it could put them in a disadvantageous position.

There are still casinos that don't require KYC, so why bother buying such an account?

[bitbollo]

You can legally sell or buy KYC? I don't think ... Maybe you can buy another account but this would be not the same...

If a gambler has so much funds and need of gamble... he can just get another citizenship and use KYC with not the common address.
In some cases it could work I think. However I would never use the KYC of another user. Its not just illegal but it could also lead to get banned by a casino.
It must always be a wise approach on that matters...
