Questions about casinos that use misleading information for promotion

[Dogedegen]

When a whole industry has an issue like this no single company can change something even if the fix is simple. They could change it from NO KYC to NO KYC TO START PLAYING and it would be solved, but this casino that does this first would lose many customers and be less competitive than the others who just claim NO KYC. So why would it do this on its own if others will not do the same?

Stop giving th3m new ideas to tryout on their upcoming daughter casinos.

At least I am giving a small improvement, because advertising it this way would be much more accurate than to claim there is no KYC. Actually if it was advertised this way, then it would even more shift the responsibility and fault to the users for not reading or understanding how this works. The way that it is written right now puts more of the blame onto the casinos or the industry. Now that I think about it, my idea would also make it worse in a way because the casinos could continue the same practices but now have a better defense as the blame would be almost 100 percent with the users. 

The player will still actually be blamed. On a serious note, we are not supposed to just trust any casino by just what it says and believing them by their word or just relying on banner description to join any casino. It is proper to do a thorough check on the platform, check reviews, check their TOS also and this will give you a heads up on what to expect from the site than just believing anything the site says on their banner and registering.

The important thing is not who is going to be blamed, but the important thing is who is rightfully blamed and has the responsibility. Even under deceptive marketing, as long as it is described somewhere on the website like the terms and conditions it creates room for blaming the user. It would be only 100% fault of the casino if it was advertised that way but it was not clarified anywhere that there are cases or scenarios where they will ask for KYC. If things were more transparent and clear both sides would have it better, but for now that is only a dream.

After learning about it, I now consider them untrustworthy. Not a scam. Yet. But if proven, then maybe they are a scam.

Many illegal gambling sites are promoting themselves this way: bonuses and no KYC. That's because their targets are probably cryptocurrency users, or also those who will do illegal things like money laundering. Imagine if you are the owner of a scammy gambling site promoting a no-KYC requirement. Then, a money launderer enters, trying to do it on your illegal gambling site. You, as the owner, can actually scam him, and he won't even fight back because the gambler is also trying to do something illegal.

But as they do this sh*t, some innocents fall victim to their schemes.

Let me bring this for discussion: it’s no longer news that we have casinos which come here to promote themselves as No-KYC casinos, but they are KYC-compliant casinos. When a player uses such a casino without reading the terms and conditions to know if the slogan is just misleading or true and is later slapped with the requirement to provide a KYC document at the time of withdrawal, will the player consider the casino a scam or take full responsibility for not paying attention to details?

Casinos manipulate their terms; it's easy for them to say they've changed them without their players knowing, and I don't trust this kind of casino. It's for players to check the casino's terms; it may be a long read and sometimes hard to follow because casinos discourage players from checking and scrutinizing them, but it will save them money and help them decide if this is the kind of casino worth their money.

There are so many things we do not confirm before using and we really can't check everything because we have other things to do in real life so sometimes you just have to trust the site to be sincere.

The above quote inspired the creation of the thread.

If you failed to conduct diligent research or check the casino's terms, then the blame is on you. It takes a few minutes to save your winnings later on, and you are putting your hard-earned money, so you have to know how the casino works, and if they deserve your trust, and you will not know it if you do not check their terms and all their rules, and of course, feedback.
I have seen so many complaints in the scam section about casinos' terms, and many of them were because players failed to read and understand what was in them.

In most cases, it is our duty to check all the terms for the promotions that casinos have. Because it is real that not all of us read each terms that are in there. The legal terms and conditions are there for us to read and see if they are okay with us before joining that promo. I guess just change the mindset if you think that all of these promos are less-heavy in requirements. Set it to your minds that all of them requires that much compliance either with the kyc procedure or with the wagering requirements which is common.
