why some players still fear kyc?

[Royal Cap]

I think one of the reasons why there are people who are still afraid to KYC is because of privacy, they may still be afraid to share their personal data, and I think that's normal too because indeed for personal data we have to be careful in sharing it, unless indeed the party asking for it is really trusted and we ourselves also trust that party.

But I think when someone likes to gamble and has never KYC but when he visits a new casino and manages to get a win and when making a withdrawal must KYC first then the person is likely to do KYC even though it is his first gambling at the casino he just visited.

I disagree a little bit, it is not always true that everyone will agree to do KYC after a big win. There are many players who value privacy so much from the beginning that if they know that KYC is required, they do not play at that casino or abandon their account during withdrawal. In my opinion, the problem is not only the fear of sharing information but also a matter of control. Many crypto users look for platforms from the beginning that do not require KYC. And now there are many such platforms available, In most cases they check the casino's KYC policy in advance and then go to play.

I think the only people who fear document checks are those gamblers who cheated at online casinos and are now afraid of the consequences. Their accounts were blocked, even though they were verified with their documents, and their IP address was leaked and remembered by the system. Maybe they found a bug, or maybe they created multiple accounts, I don't know. But it's precisely these types of people who are quite likely to try to upload fake documents, or AI-generated ones, in order to have a second chance at online casinos. In my opinion, these are the people who fear KYC the most.

Not really and apart from that. Some gamblers like privacy and not that they are afraid of KYC but they prefer No KYC casinos to hide their identity. We have seen some of the gamblers in this forum who does not like KYC casinos. In the other hand, those casino bonus abusers and other offenders are afraid of KYC. But there is no big deal in KYC because as human, KYC is from the birth day of the child. The registration of the child in the hospital is the first KYC so casinos asking personal information about a gambler is not a new thing in any way.

Both are investing into security with a lot of money but you're right that I also think that exchanges spend more than the casinos.
And everyone agrees that we're all willing to comply with it if the situation permits that to happen.
Because we don't have that much option to make but to follow what they're asking us to do especially if our money is in them and we've built trust with each other.

Making some compromise is very important, especially when money is involved because it won't make sense when one is not safe gambling in a casino, as it will also affect the company financially, but complying with the hope that they are doing it for their own good, it will be better for them to stick to it and do the necessary thing because at the end they are the one to enjoy it, as they are being protected from scammers and troubles that will cause one to feel emotionally down.

They have to do the kyc stuff not to secure people's money but to secure their license and operations through the regulations that's imposed to them.
So the compliance that they do in asking their users to comply for the kyc is a regulation that they have to do.
Long time before, many casinos are not being subject to kyc because the government where they are operating were not strict.
These days, they're stricter and that's why they have to apply the law to them and being passed on to the users.

Many of the gamblers are willing to process kyc if we're asked to do so. But what we worry is about the protection of our data.
It's common that exchanges and casinos are getting hacked and the data from the kyc are not assured if they're safe or not.
That's why it's becoming a trust issue for many users but to be honest, many are willing to go for that approval if it's really needed.

Since you can't ask a service concerning the safety of your data, and they will tell you it's not safe, they will also sweet talk you about how safe their system is, and yet we see them getting hacked from time to time, which makes it very unsafe to give out our documents for such verification, some of us have settled for the casinos which we make use of that don't need to ask us for further verification the lesser the platforms we give out our document the lesser the risk of it getting exposed.

That's just it, not that gamblers are afraid to share thier kyc details to the casino but it's due to this reason you gave here. considering how the internet is been flooded by scammers people don't Longer feel safe or trust anything online because they knew it can probably get hack some day and I think this is their biggest fear because some has a lot of good things in there so they wouldn't want anyone to ruin it for them that is why some people are just being extremely careful.

For me I don't see those who decide not to share their kyc details to the casino as fools or maybe they don't know what they are doing I think there's something they are protecting so we should allow them do what they think it's best for them.

Data is the new gold, scammers use the details to build their traps but our privacy is at risk and that happens the moment we provide our documents to the very first platform and it doesn't matter how many we decide to do later in our life, once it is there, stored on some server it can be breached possibly. But we have the mandatory KYC enforced by the governments if we want to use such platforms, so we have no way than doing KYC which is why we pick the best among the ones and assume that they will keep it safe.

They'll always say that data is safe and protected. A user can depend on their terms and promises.
But as a user who has been into that situation where the platform where they've signed up before got hacked and info leaked.
We know how important it is to trust a brand, a casino where they are sure to have prioritized the user's data.
And that's why it can't be helped if a user isn't going to another casino because of the trust that they have verified and tested.

Some gamblers avoid KYC because they’re scared their info might get leaked. But if you think about it, any legit casino knows that leaking customer data is basically killing their own business. No company throws away millions just to expose a few IDs.

The real key is choosing a reputable casino, the kind that actually has something to lose if they mess up. If the platform is established and trusted, the risk is far lower than what most players imagine.

I agree that in a crypto world where anonymity was at the core of the ideology, KYC is an unnatural process.
But... Any platforms that operate in the official field are EXPECTED to operate within the laws of the jurisdiction of the country of registration and/or provision of services.
And that's the side played by the government, which, habitually, wants to have information about the finances of its citizens. The fact that the sites have added cryptocurrencies for payment does not mean that they are “cryptocurrency sites within the ideology of cryptocurrencies”, no !
It's just a tribute to fashion and convenience to meet the desires of customers. Key among them is the cross-boarding of payments.

Bottom line - for platforms working in the legal field KYC is a measure imposed but mandatory for implementation, for players - the right to choose platforms for you - official or unofficial.....

The fact is that you wouldn't know when the information could get leaked and you may be that surprised to know that your information has leaked. The thing is that, your information are being accessed from the backend of every casino where only the Dev could have access to it, they may decides to sell it or not without your noticed that is why most people today usually choose a no-kyc-casino where they feels more better connecting their address to gamble.

Money regulators fear casino because anything that involves money transmitting can be use for money laundering and that's why kyc becomes a compulsory factor to have a regulated casino works efficiently without the government interfering with any of their affairs. However, some casino implemented twice wager before gamblers can withdraw their money so people can use kycless casino but the government doesn't buy that, you must be regulated as things can happen in the Background even with the rules.

From my opinion, I don't see kyc as problem, if not for how some casinos are very lazy with how they handle customers data, some reputable and popular casino requires each gambler to kyc before you can deposit and use their casino and also withdraw. If you want to risk it, you can gamble with casino that does not ask for kyc but it's own your risk.

Gamblers need to respect their information and sharing it to the public should be a matter of concern.
There are casinos that don't have a safe platforms to keep users information and if these if these data get to the hands of scammers, they can be sold and used to scam mission to steal from their victims. Almost all the casinos are asking for our information and it will be unwise for us to continue sharing our personal information with all casinos.

Gamblers have no choice but to provide personal information to casinos. Where most casinos will not provide full access before verifying your KYC. I would say that you will not find any casino platform that you can trust because many people are being scammed around us. Providing personal information is mandatory in online gambling but some casinos do not ask for personal information but I cannot trust them anymore because even though they claim to be the most secure platform, trust is a matter of personal mindset.

I’m more than sure that it’s important to separate a few different things here. Not everyone who prefers no-KYC casinos is automatically a scammer or a bonus abuser.
And at the same time, I maybe also agree that KYC itself has long become a normal part of the modern financial system. That’s why some players become distrustful, especially when a casino asks for documents not during registration, but only at the moment of a large withdrawal.

And in my opinion, most arguments around KYC are not really about the identity verification process itself, but about the level of trust toward a specific platform and how exactly it handles users’ personal data.

The KYC system provides a sense of trust but many people do not like this KYC system. The platforms where money is transacted through KYC are very trustworthy but even with this trust, information is often leaked. For this reason, many people do not like the KYC system, but currently there are many platforms that are providing good quality services without KYC. Where many large organizations have a record of losing their information, it is understandable how trustworthy this KYC system can be. The KYC system is good but many people will not like it. I did not think it was good if you could play casino games while keeping your identity secret.

I agreed with you perfectly, I don't see any reason why people will be afraid of setting up their KYC what are they afraid of exactly?, except someone is into fraudulent activities that's when you will be afraid of KYC if not casinos don't give out any personal information about their customers easily, so all the KYC with them is safe. Some gamblers believes that any system that don't ask for KYC is not genuine and they prefer the ones that ask for KYC.

What's the essence of hiding your secret while playing a game?, it makes no sense to me. Some gamblers finds it difficult to even provide a personal information about themselves because they don't even have any to give so they think casino is stressing them as they request for KYC, it's understood that given sensitive information is risky but casino provides a safe system where we can safe our personal data with them and it's secured.

It's truly not about scammers or cheaters but it's about how some of us had actually started of with using decentralize online platforms in the early days when KYC strictness has not being this strongly enacted by the authorities. Its with that experience that has made a lot of persons that have enjoyed such privacy with their data that do finds it inconvenient having now to start sharing with centralized platforms. Currently, centralized platforms has taken over the space and KYC has become compulsory for obvious reasons.

Its even a better idea that majority of centralized platforms are even tighten up to maintain that KYC, as its for the benefits of the people because of how fraudsters are using fake site to scam other people. But, with the KYC people will be able to detect the real from the fake and won't have to fall into the victim of losing their money unnecessary, that is why privacy is very important and good as it protects and keep them safe.

Definitely the centralized platforms are taking security layers very seriously and making sure to have it tightened but yet it still doesn't guarantee it 100% safe not to be breached by attackers which is why some persons do have the fears that their data could be tampered with at any security breach, sometimes even by internal staff these data are sold to bad third parties in exchange for funds. But then again, to a large extend in as much as I may not want to caress KYC, it has really cut down cheating, scam and online fraud through impersonations.

Well, it's not just about exchanges and casinos getting hacked, some of the management of this exchanges and casinos that have scam tendencies can actually sell or be tempted to sell their users personal data to third party companies or even to hackers on the black market, this is another possibility that I know most people who are against kyc fear, and that fear is well justified.

The truth is that we now live in a time where kyc have become like a must for us if we must engage in services that require we transacting in money, it's true that there are still casinos that do not request kyc verification from their users, but another question should be for how long will this casinos operate like this? Because such casinos are usually not registered and they likely can't operate that way for long, at a point, they either will have to register, get a licence and then begin asking users for kyc verification, or leave the gambling market.
The best thing still is for us to limit the number of platforms we engage with, cus the lesser they are, the lesser we will have to kyc.

It is a great way to look at it since one can know that an unlicensed gaming furniture will not be around long. The danger signs are quite evident. It is not a good idea to use unlicensed establishment since you may end up losing your money. Only play regular games when you are home with your family, you can be more peace of mind.

Why gamblers have no choice? Even if KYC is mandatory in a casino, gamblers are not forced to use the casino, they have the right to choose whether they want to do the KYC or not. Simple, if they do not want to undergo KYC, do not play at the casino. Even if you in a case when you have some money in your casino account and the casino asked you to undergo KYC, you still have a choice.  Yes or No are the choices you can choose between and each option has its own consequences.
