You Don't Need KYC to Lose $10,000. But You May Need It to Withdraw $11,000

[bakasabo]

There's this local casino site I joined back then and when I decided to find out if they are non KYC casino or KYC casino they turned out to be non KYC casino but when I had winning and decided to have it withdrawn, they started asking for my KYC details meanwhile their KYC status Said that they are non KYC so that's what I was actually trying to say.

Have you tried replying to them by pointing that they say the are no-KYC casino but ask you to pass KYC? I can only guess what they will use as an excuse for such answer. I can only guess they will say something about security and legitimacy of funds. They will give you some overall info, such as "we had a request" or "there are signals of..." so we wanted to verify. They will try to turn the situation around that it is not they who ask you to pass KYC, but they were asked to ask you to pass.

I keep record of the rules and the regulation of a casino platform that I read their conditions, if you don't give the rules and the regulation that means you are against their policy and there any challenges that you face you will not have the full courage to challenge the casino platform, why if you read the rules and the regulation and is the platform is doing contrarily to what you read or what they have issued to you as their rules and regulation that means you have the power to sue them to any place you like because you maintain the order the they gave, I don't skip any rules of gambling platform I follow it accordingly and that is why I don't use to have issues with them

It is true that mastering the terms and conditions is the most effective defense when dealing with online casinos. Careful knowledge of the rules of the platform negates the possibility of operators to find justifications of paying a liability on their own.

Strict compliance to all the operating specifications places the players in a most concrete foundation. Firm compliance with the rules is the major clue to preventing balance freezes and possibly disastrous financial conflicts.

Reading up the terms and conditions before playing is something that gamblers dont really care about. We do only tend to care at the moment that we do face up some problems. Yes, its understandable that reading up a long pile of text is really that tiring or something that you wouldnt really liking to read up all the way and wanting to play immediately and thats why you do able to missed out those important informations on which it would be causing up problems later on when you are trying out to do something like something tht withdrawal or something like that, specially if you do have that winnings then you would be needing up that recovery and thats something you do need up to comply or else then those funds would be locked.

Honestly speaking, you are right to some point because some gamblers do not care about reading those numerous condition and terms because it can be boring, just imagine an addict that created an account to gamble do you think he or she will want to go through those...? Off cause no he or she won't and most  times those important information are been made hidden so that gamblers won't see, that is what most scam casinos does so they will reflect back at it when it is time. Perhaps critical or vital information should be made bold and not hidden.

I think your point is making sense, i know that it's important to read the policies of a platform before accepting to use it but from my experience, it’s very true that it’s boring cause of how much it is, i tried reading on several occasions but couldn't read to the end, i just read to a certain point and had to accept it, i believe many people have been in same situation and some didn't even care to read to an extent, your suggestion about making vital informations bold is cool, especially the KYC, deposit and withdrawal policies so customers don't default out of ignorance.

That's what I think too. Casinos don't actually need to force KYC on their customers. Why would they care? They are interested in wagering -  the more you wager the better for them - but not in knowing who their customers are. Who is interested in preventing money laundering is we, regular people, and the governments that represent us. People who lose money to casinos hate them so much that they are ready to believe everything bad in the universe is somehow connected to casinos.

Casinos may not require mandatory KYC, but they also don't want players who win and withdraw large sums. So I see a connection here, too. If you play and lose, or play and win small amounts and withdraw, you won't pose any problems for the casino. But if you win large amounts and withdraw, the casino will want to know who you are and will require KYC.

A non-KYC casino can suddenly ask to do KYC because normally, non KYC means those casinos that don’t require any KYC for withdrawals or deposits. They only require KYC when some special situation occurs. But I think they should tell users at what time or under what circumstances they may ask users for KYC verification. There are some casinos that ask for KYC verification for large amounts. Maybe they want to know the customer’s actual identity, like who actually won such a large amount. It could be that the user’s information has some extra value.

I guess a casino might not need that kind of information. KYC requests in certain situations are definitely related to activities considered suspicious, whether from deposits or betting patterns that the casino surely pays attention to. When a large withdrawal is made, either from winnings or from a big deposit, verification can be done as a measure to prevent money laundering. Non-KYC casinos are also likely noticed by people who actually have intentions for that kind of thing.

In the case of suspicious activity or large withdrawals, almost all casinos ask for KYC, even those that claim to be non-KYC. KYC may become mandatory in some cases, especially if you win big. It will be very carefully verified to find any abnormalities. There is no opportunity to make big withdrawals on any casino site without KYC. But I think all casino sites should require KYC when making a large deposit to verify the account holder's identity, not just for large withdrawals.

Assuming an online casino is committed to complying with anti-money laundering laws, why doesn't it verify funds upon receipt? Therefore, the online casino itself is committing a serious offense. 🙋

I also seriously doubt that a casino requires a player's first name, last name, and residential address to detect gambling fraud. What information exactly does a casino need? Does a player's last name sound like "Al Capone" or "Moriarty"?

In my opinion, delaying the payment of winnings is always a dishonest move on the part of an online casino. Perhaps the casino doesn't want to directly steal money from the player, but simply wants to destabilize their psychological state. When players experience withdrawal delays of several days, they often cannot resist the temptation, start gambling again, and lose all their winnings. This is a physiological and psychological process. When hormones like dopamine are involved, it is very difficult for a person to resist temptation. 🙆

The governments of the countries that grant licenses to cryptocurrency casinos are typically Caribbean nations, usually what are known as tax havens. Just as these jurisdictions—despite being more lenient—have gradually had to impose additional requirements, such as KYC, I believe the time will come when the regulations will change. In short, they will be equivalent to that of regulated fiat casinos in reputable countries, where you first have to pass KYC; otherwise, they won’t let you deposit a single cent.

Since being able to play without KYC is the main draw of cryptocurrency casinos, I believe this will ultimately kill the business as we know it today, but I think it will still be a few years before that requirement—KYC upon registration—is implemented at all cryptocurrency casinos.

Honestly, if I had a guarantee that in case casino scams me I'll be protected and the government will help, then I might be okay with the idea of doing KYC first before placing a bet. Of course, such licenses should come from developed and reputable countries where the law is enforced strictly.

By the way, even if KYC will be required upon registration, that's still not the end of the world, depending on your game of choices. I'm 100% sure that casinos with in-house games like dice, Plinko and so on, can function without KYC and license, just the way Bitcoin Mixers exist for example. KYC is mostly enforced because casinos offer slots from slot providers and live casino products like Blackjack and Roulette from different providers.
