Are you comfortable with sharing KYC data with casinos?

[Localhostspeed]

Before, no, but since it’s kinda required, I had no choice but to pass it. But right now, it has become a normal thing to me. Like, I don’t feel anything at all. Especially after being verified for years in one casino, it’s nothing now. KYC is very sensitive, and it’s normal to feel uncomfortable submitting it in a casino. Just play in a reputable casino for your peace of mind. You can still play even without it, but there are some features you can’t use or access.

Before casino use no Kyc as a marketing strategy to advertised sell their casino as number 1 priority before other casino but today, it's not even a question due to some concern from the casino profitability and the government regulations. You can withdraw small amount of money in some casino but the majority will not let you use their service without undergoing any verification process, some do it to avoid gamblers from having plenty of accounts and abused.

We have some casinos that still offer non Kyc services but if not for regulation concerns even gamblers don't care much about Kyc requirements. Some prefer to do it before they play because some casino are very demanding when it comes to withdrawal of funds. They don't request for Kyc or suspect anything during the deposit process, it's always when you try to withdraw your money from casino it becomes a problem. This is the major red flag people avoid from casino.

I think that everyone feels the same thing about passing kyc to the casinos.
Before, it's not a norm that we pass on it because the majority of the online crypto casinos have said to be anonymous and not compliant to regulations.
But then, when the government and where they are getting their licenses have become strict, they have to comply on it and like you, for users like us it has become a normal thing.

I generally avoid casinos that require users to do KYC. Especially if they require KYC with personal information, then users are forced to give information to that casino, which leaves the information in the hands of a third party.
Moreover, I would not want my valuable information to be in the hands of any third party which could cause problems in my personal life later. If it is a trusted casino site then there is no problem in doing KYC but I would never agree to give personal information to unpopular casino sites.

[Betwrong]

~No, I mean, it's not my stupidity, I only provided data for essential services. Then, I think, some of their employees sold my data to those f***ers who call or text me now all the time. By "essential services" gambling sites can go sometimes. What can I do if I want to play on a site, and that site is asking me for KYC? Btw, for some reason I suspect that it's not gambling sites that are selling my data.

You mentioned a whole list of non essential services that ask for your data. Small shops, medical centers, post offices and so on. Don't use them or don't provide the data, refuse. That is where the stupidity comes from. If you were talking about other people or in general, then my response should be taken accordingly. Nobody can force you to provide that data. ~

No, they are not forcing me, it's just sometimes pretty convenient to do, same as with gambling sites. You are getting some perks because of providing your data, like 100% increase on your win in a contest and so on. So, I think, if you are not doing doing anything illegal in your jurisdiction and you okay with getting some spam from time to time, you shouldn't be afraid of sharing KYC data with casinos. Again, it's just my opinion, anyone can do whatever the best for them personally.

To be honest when every time when I sign up to casino I never check their TOC so far, but on the other hand I never deposit large sums of money to the casino.

I think I only gave my info to one casino when they asked me for KYC, and now I'm feeling regrets because of it. Upside is that it is reputable casino, but you never know when it's going to leak.

I have explanation for that. While ago in topic about ToS I have said that people are lazy to read today. They think they know everything and they are lazy to check, repeat and read. People would pay more attention to ToS if casino would present it in a form of a short video, slides, small text that will fit on half of a default mobile screen. If text is bigger than 1 page - it is already a struggle to read it even by diagonal. ToS usually consist of numerous pages. People will read it only when they got into troubles.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

No, and in fact we were talking about it recently on my local board. I have never completed KYC for cryptocurrency casinos and I don't know if the day will come when it will be mandatory for all of them, but in the meantime I only gamble at crypto casinos that don't ask me for KYC. Normally, if your betting levels are low, you have plenty to choose from.

Something similar happened to me once, and what I did was not complete the KYC and write off the money I had there as lost. My privacy is worth much more.

You hit the nail on it and laziness is common reason on why people fail to do those things what they need to execute. As as result they encounter to may problems and got surprised about some violation they commit.

But I think even if the casino do the current placement of their TOS and if people first objective before starting up is to read their TOS for sure that they won't get any problem with them, especially that they provably know those issues or other unwanted things that they need to avoid.

Nowadays everything is KYC, even buying mobile refills using cryptocurrencies requires people to go through KYC. More than 30% of good exchanges are asking for KYC, so I'm no longer afraid of going through KYC at casinos, because even if I didn't do KYC at a casino, I would still have to do KYC at some exchange or on some mobile refills sales site. Avoiding KYC nowadays is mission impossible. Fortunately, I only use one casino and I did KYC there without fear, I'm talking about the casino in my signature.

That’s right, Most of the crypto service is already being regulated which means the days of anonymous gambling is already over if user preferred on license casino.

There’s still some casino that doesn’t required KYC but most of them are unknown or doesn’t have license which gives more risk of being scam.

It’s either you want to play on reputable casino that ask for KYC or risk playing on mediocre casino that doesn’t have KYC. Pick your poison.

[Somto9Light]

Sharing KYC data with casinos is not a big deal for me, so long as it's a reputable casino with a good reputation of course I wouldn't mind sharing my KYC data with them. However Sharing KYC data can only be considered as a big deal if the casino is a newly launched one because when a casino is newly launched you hardly know if they are to be trusted or not, even though most casinos might want to do all it takes to start building a good reputation from the onset yet I don't easily trust a newly launched casinos not until they stayed for some couple of years.

Doing KYC once feels harmless at the moment but later the worry shows up because you never know when a company might leak data. even if the casino is reputable the fear stays in the back of your mind. the truth is that almost every crypto related service has been moving toward full regulation and that means KYC has become part of the system whether we like it or not.

A lot of platforms that used to be private now require verification even for small things like mobile top ups or basic exchange withdrawals. avoiding KYC today feels almost impossible because somewhere in the process you end up needing it. so some people eventually accept it and stick to one trusted casino or one trusted exchange just to limit how many places hold their personal info. There are still casinos that don’t require KYC but most of them are unlicensed or unknown and that brings a different kind of risk. no one wants to be scammed just to avoid showing an ID. so the choice becomes simple but not comfortable. play on a reputable platform and accept KYC or play on a shady platform without it and hope nothing goes wrong. in the end you choose the risk you can tolerate.

Your basic information is already part of the KYC process. If you are signing up for casinos, you already agree to give your personal details. Let us assume it might not be stated on their ToS, but they can possibly ask for it if necessary. If you are not comfortable with the casino, don't dare to try signing in. Or the best thing is to go to offline casinos because nowadays, most online casinos ask for KYC, and it seems mandatory for everyone. Or, not to gamble anymore if you really care about it.

Much better also if he verify first if the casino will not ask KYC since somehow there are casino didn't asked this requirements.

So maybe best stay with minimum and don't exceed on limit threshold to avoid being asked for that details.

Before I'm not also comfortable with KYC thing happening in most of the casinos. That's why I only play on few casinos to minimize the risk of possible data leaking, but if they still freaking out and not comfortable with changes happening they better think about this is a sign that they should stop playing in online casinos.

[NewCryptocasinos]

Most of regulated casinos have clause in their Terms and conditions that they can block the account and ask for personal data if they find users activity suspicious or even for no reason at all.

I have always been careful about sharing my personal data with such services. Not only because they can misuse my data, but I don't have any control of who can access my personal data. Also I don't know who they share it with and finally some unhappy employee can collect that data and sell it on black market.

What are your experiences with sharing personal data and opinions about stricter and stricter regulations that require users to share personal data for every withdrawal?

Yes.
If I were to hit a huge win and wanted to cash out, I’d feel more comfortable knowing I’ve already completed the KYC process.

Basic personal data for the Term of Service or ToS at casino gambling just require username, email and our full name but we can use difference from our document data, but if casino gambling require KYC we can't use difference name or address at the basic data already filled when first time registering casino gambling.
Many countries the casino gambling not allow and why not comfortable if any casino require KYC, want or not for right now must verifying document and really not comfortable when huge amount withdrawing fund in casino gambling require not only document ID but also proof address until upload Bank book. If any casino not require KYC juts for registering and make deposit fund only, when huge winning amount and want to withdraw all many casino gambling change their regulation.

You may think that giving in to convenience is smart and that you are doing the right thing, but it is the exact opposite. You are being manipulated and brainwashed to choose the easy way instead of choosing the right way. Do some research on this topic, there are books about it that will help you. The tradeoff of submitting KYC for whatever they give you is not worth it. It is like giving someone $10 and they give you $2 in return, and you say thanks that was a great deal. Does that sound smart to you? Convenience is only good for you when it comes to beneficial actions such as eating healthy or exercising as it helps with habit building, for everything else it is your enemy -- including gambling.

To be honest when every time when I sign up to casino I never check their TOC so far, but on the other hand I never deposit large sums of money to the casino.

This is very dangerous and not recommended practice. Most people dismiss is though for any number of reasons, but then when something really bad happens to them they complain and whine. Always read the Terms, these days you can ask LLMs to check for anything dangerous in them. Therefore there is no excuse anymore, it is only pure laziness, naivety and overall recklessness that leads to people skipping on reading them.

Yes.
If I were to hit a huge win and wanted to cash out, I’d feel more comfortable knowing I’ve already completed the KYC process.

That gives you no guarantee at all. It is very possible that they may ask you additional documents that you may not be able or may not want to provide. I do not recommend doing KYC in advance under any circumstance. There is too much hopium involved in such thinking.

[HelliumZ]

As far as I know users in this forum, nobody like to submit their KYC in any Casino whether the casino is reputable or legit but we don't have any other options to submit our KYC and play because if we didn't submit KYC, it looks as if we are violating their Terms and Conditions and if we win they would not allow us to withdraw the funds so to avoid that we have to do the KYC so there would be a smooth using of the casino.

The biggest problem is that if we don't do KYC, they won't let us withdraw our balance. The casino authorities may not allow us to withdraw if we don't meet the conditions of the gambling or casino site. I usually avoid signing up for any casino or gambling site that requires KYC. However, I do open accounts in those that ask for level 1 KYC, that is, KYC with only name and address, but I always try to avoid those that ask for KYC by showing my national ID card.

The funny thing here is that most of us feel too lazy to read the terms and conditions of almost all these casino platforms, and we trust them with our money; some of us only consider the terms and conditions that hen they are restricted from withdraws and if they contact the customer support and they made it clear to them that it is written in their teens and conditions, that’s when they do go back to check it which is very wrong because at that moment you need to do exactly what they want in order to get what you also want.

Some casino platforms are not demanding too much in their KYC requirements now since they noticed everybody cares about their privacy, they only requested for phone numbers to be added to start and withdraw some money that is usually limited, but when you want to further withdraw big amount, they they will demand for KYC which is very ok in my opinion. I will prefer to use such casinos even though some of them with KYC do have good offers in their nodes and their multipliers.

-snip-

More crypto casinos do not ask for KYC at the beginning and will only ask for KYC if they want to make a large withdrawal or get a Jackpot that exceeds the maximum withdrawal limit.

Casinos that ask for KYC at the beginning will be on my blacklist, because I don't want to give my personal data only for new Casinos or old casinos that require KYC at the beginning, it really doesn't attach importance to privacy.

High stakes levels are only for those who gamble a lot and have more money in their gambling accounts, such as some influencers or streamers who are seen to have hundreds or even millions of dollars in their accounts (whether true or not).
