Passing KYC verification upfront would have solved this

[WhoYouCantKill]

In fact, many casinos allow KYC verification before winning, and some even require it. It's just that casinos that position themselves as friendly or non-KYC simply require verification at the end of the game, that is, after winning. And for many players, this comes as an unpleasant surprise. The decision to undergo verification is often based on the amount of private information they must disclose to the casino. If this amount is reasonable and the winnings are large, then almost no one has any questions.

Sometimes it’s not even about releasing one’s personal information, the casino at this point could even end up intentionally and deliberately make the KYC requirement more stricter that it was ordinary meant to to be and then most times the players even end up getting frustrated and just letting the wins go. I know a friend who has also found himself in such a situation before, but this time it wasn’t a casino but an exchange, I won’t mention the name of the exchange though. They made the KYC outrageously strict and difficult, in fact nearly impossible to the point that the person had to just forget about the whole thing with all the thousands of dollars inside the account.

Not the same with Stake and few others, you have to pass KYC from the beginning before you make deposits, something about this just make things feel right, you will feel at ease no fear of ID denial later on.

But there is a saying that goes like this, ask and you shall be given, if you are using any online casino and they don't have KYC verification right in your face you aren't wrong asking them.

There is a reason why I don't always believe gamblers who come out and say that a casino denied their KYC information, sometimes those IDs aren't even genuine, because no online casinos have ever denied my ID before, maybe that's why I see things this way.

We always come back to the initial point, does it make sense to ask for KYC where I am giving you the money? In the end I'm the one who pays to have fun, I give you my money.
Like if you see sites like OF and in addition to paying you have to provide your documents, it just doesn't make sense.

On Stake, since KYC become mandatory, you have to register and pass verification before you can be able to deposit crypto or fiat into your gambling account on the gambling site. I like the site for that, but not all gambling sites will be KYC. I have used a gambling sites before that are not KYC gambling sites, I was able to withdraw without any issues, but anything can happen because they are centralized.

I like the fact that one must go through KYC before making a deposit. Some KYC casino gamblers can be allowed to make a deposit, but when they win, withdrawal becomes very difficult, and the process of KYC becomes complicated.

I prefer casinos that are transparent with their conditions; they make it mandatory from the beginning. However, some KYC casinos don't make it mandatory, and gamblers may decide to ignore it, but after winning, they become serious about it. I feel casinos like this use the lack of mandatory KYC for some gamblers as a trap. This is why gamblers need to be smart and seek out transparent KYC casinos for those who are okay with KYC casinos.

Spot on. They let you deposit right away with no issues, but suddenly make it super hard when you try to cash out.

It depends on the casino, with some casinos, I’ve actually been offered the option to complete verification immediately during registration. I assume that if you win a large amount, you’ll have to go through verification anyway. So if you already know that you’re going to play with a large deposit, it might make sense to complete it upfront. But I think it’s better to play and try to withdraw, and if they ask you to complete verification, then do it.

I believe the most important thing to prevent the things OP said, we as gamblers, need to understand the casino TOS which will give us the concept of what awaits us when we win big.
As a gambler I don't think we need to be a large deposit player before going through KYC if the casino will eventually ask for it when a huge win is involved, since a single winning streak can turn the tables around for us.
What I am trying to say is that we need to do things that won't give a shady casino the chance to take away our hard-earned money due to how we ignore doing the right things or skipping what we ought to do first for another time.

Let's be honest.

Casinos are getting away with people not been able to pass their KYC information after they won some money.
It's like some of them are intentionally using this against gamblers.

You won't know how friendly your favourite online casino is until you won some good amount of money.
Someone I knew had the same experience recently and it got me wondering why..

Why can't online casinos allows their customers to pass KYC verification before they start gambling?
It looks like a perfect excuse for them to restrict you from withdrawal.

Where have you seen that casino sites do not allow players to do KYC verification before gambling? You can create an account and do instant verification, in which case they will not hinder you in any way. Rather, gamblers want to avoid KYC, so many people do not want to go through verification until the platforms make KYC mandatory for gamblers. I think you have very little idea about gambling or gambling platforms.

If you create an account on the popular casino platform stake.com to gamble, then in that case you will not get the opportunity to deposit any money there without kyc verification. You will have to first do KYC verification and then deposit money to gamble. There are many other platforms that do not allow you to make deposits without KYC.

At times this rules are clearly stated but some gamblers just do not go through the terms, they just dive in and deposit, sometimes they get carried away by the offers they see and skip important details that end up affecting them later in the future when they least expected it, I have always believed that every genuine casino also have KYC verification even if it was not request from the beginning, a gambler should expect it later on, the problem here is the fact that some gamblers does not like using casinos that requires KYC verification unknowingly to them that later they will be asked to verify here is how they start complaining.

Most times its not that the casino is bad or at fault but there are winning amounts that passes whatever threshold they have in place and once that is exceeded, they'd have to request for KYC. I always keep this in mind before playing at any casino sportsbooks that I play at. Most people know this but still ignore. Imo, as long as its a reputable casino/sportsbook, they have no reason to intentionally reject kyc because of a win.

This is why it’s important to read the rules or terms of service of the casino you plan to use for gambling right from the start.

Furthermore, before you start gambling, you should already understand or research the casino’s reputation so that you won’t run into any obstacles when you hit a big profit. Personally, i very rarely complete KYC at a casino when i first start gambling, i think it’s better to do KYC once i’ve made a profit and the amount requires it, in other words, when the casino mandates it.

Currently, most online casinos don’t require you to complete KYC when making a deposit, because for many gamblers, the process is cumbersome and quite a few view it as an invasion of privacy, if it were required from the start, many users might switch to other casinos. However, that doesn’t mean it’s not allowed, generally, you have the freedom to do so.

I think the casino is supposed to have a system that will  detect when a gambler is going beyond their maximum wining if that's what you're talking about, instead of watching gamblers to exceed their limit. A casino that is well organized would have system that will control the maximum wining of a casino. it's just like one of the casino here, they have a system that inform gamblers when they exceed their limit. And that's what every other gambling platform should do because I don't like it when I win a huge amount of money and I start hearing things like I have exceed my wining limit.

Here I completely agree about a few points. They bring a few changes intentionally that have never been important, but they do them on time, while the gambler feels frustrated and he loses his amount because a few years back I was also a victim of this case. Even though I passed levels 1 and 2, but then suddenly I checked, and they have level 3 and 4 things.things Things like these increase frustration, and I lost a big amount just because of this.
Now I never trust casinos that do not have a good reputation for also suddenly asking things about KYC after having wins. Few big ones are doing good job because if we need to play and have faith they ask early then after this never ask anything because things are already settled and player and site both are agreed about future things this works much better but few which always create problems after having players wins its never been good deal from them.

As much as this sounds like a genius move to do, unfortunately most KYC casino's usually don't allow players to go through this process without them requesting for it, the leave this more like a mouse trap and if they know they can squeeze out the money out of you they make it hell for you and hit you with some flimsy excuses like you violated term 123 which never makes sense to anyone.. at the end of the day we are at their mercy!!

If you want to avoid such drama, play from tried and tested casino and bookies and save yourself from having high blood pressure.

Honestly, in the past I used to be supportive of these casinos that usually don't ask people for their documents, but nowadays it seems like a lot of them are using it against gamblers. So many of them come out with the message that they are no-KYC and would only request it in situations where there is suspicion, but then they go around hitting those who are lucky to win a huge amount with KYC, making it difficult for them to access their wins.

Right now, if asked, I would prefer high-rollers just stick to those who would give them the opportunity to confirm their identity first before they even start or just let the "no-KYC" be what it says it is: no-KYC.

It is those gamblers that gamble for money that falls into the problem of KYC verification because all they think is how to gamble and win forgetting that after win is withdrawal and so due to their pressure they forget or sees it as not  immediately important before they place their bet, they feel the verification can be done after wining, but after the win, they forget that they avoided that process which now put them into difficult terms to withdraw .

No casino stops or prevent any gambler from KYC verification.

I think there are casinos which actually allow their gamblers to complete as many KYC levels of verification they want, before starting to gamble or bet, but gamblers simply decide to actively deposit and gamble as soon as possible, only providing an email and some basic verification.

This trend will continue as long as people continue to deposit and gamble right away, without clearing out their KYC and checking terms of service of the casino before signing up.

Though, I agree with you, one only knows the true character of a casino when one ends up winning some money and decides to withdraw it.
