This can be especially helpful for players using a VPN in countries where online gambling is not allowed or from the USA.
This is a grey area. Some casinos while being kyc friendly do not state that you can use VPNs and those using it, run the risk of their account being flagged if they are about to make a withdrawal.
It's much preferable for a casino to state clearly if you're allowed to use VPNs to access their website.
Btw, I remember your announcement thread for spintalk some months back. Don't you consider bumping that up with updates like these?
Honestly man, my SpinTalk post got so much hate that it discouraged me from coming back there to update it. I might update it in the future and it's nice to see a familiar name here!
I checked the list, I am guessing that your definition of "no-kyc" casino is that casinos allow gamblers to register without finishing KYC first but reserve the right to request KYC verification whenever they want. if so, that's not really a "no-kyc" casino.
Most casinos now implement this non KYC if it is just to be able to deposit and play in a casino at the early stage. KYC is mostly requested when their is suspicious activities from the gambler or in a case of huge deposits or withdrawal, and this is mostly done to ensure the money is clean with no trace of money laundering or terrorist financing or even drugs. Casinos always put in their TOS that they might request for KYC at later stage or when they deep necessary which means they are not entire KYC free.
This is exactly right, and the same point that the MonkeyTilt guy brought up. "No Kyc casino" is a term that most people recognize and understand that the typical player is not going to have any KYC. People here are taking it too seriously. I'm not saying that these casinos won't flag you if you are suspected of money laundering or suspicious behavior (Example - Advantaged playing or bonus abuse) but for the TYPICAL consumer, they will never experience KYC.
I only feel confident in this because I have the withdrawal numbers to back it up. 95% of all the players under my affiliate codes are from the USA, using a VPN to access these casinos. We are not able to KYC as all these sites exclude (wink wink) USA. We have over 500k in withdrawals just from the first 2 on this list. The reason we prefer these casinos is access to a wider range of games than sweepstake casinos offer in the USA. Evolution Live Game shows, NoLimit City Slots, the full range of Hacksaw, and Pragmatic Play slots, etc.. This list is primarily for USA players that want to access geo-restricted games. If you are outside of the USA, you can still use this list, but you probably are okay to KYC anyways unless you're in a different restricted country or trying to do something malicious.
Long Story Short - The typical user will not experience KYC, and this list is mostly for USA players that want to access geo-restricted games.
