I dont see Sportsbet.io and Livecasino listed in this spreadsheet, they dont have strict KYC rules and I would recommend adding them.
There are other casinos without KYC but they can ask verification later during withdrawal or if they notice anything suspicious.
I think NO KYC should be renamed to NO Strict KYC.
Those two are really good casinos without any doubt, and I hope OP might add those on his site soon. Yes, it's true there are casinos that work without KYC at start but later during withdrawal or when someone deposits or wins huge amount and wants to withdraw that then they ask for KYC details. It's always best to rename No KYC casinos to No Strict KYC or No KYC needed ever as that could be helpful cue.
In fact, all players, with the possible exception of only the most newcomers to gambling, that is, those players for whom it is important to maintain anonymity, are well aware that almost any casino can require a sudden, unexpected identity check using the KYC procedure. It seems to me that all players who have at least a little experience of such a game have simply gotten used to the fact that this is almost an inevitable evil that can appear as soon as a player wins some money. And of course, all this upsets very, very much and always leads to a dilemma: either lose anonymity and get the money won, or remain anonymous, but also lose all the money won. Agree that this is a stupid and lousy choice. And this is what darkens the lives of many players who maintain anonymity.
But a player can have many reasons for anonymity in gambling. And many of these reasons can be very compelling.
Thank you all for the thoughtful feedback. I agree that the term "No KYC" has been widely used as a marketing slogan, and it doesn’t always align with the practical realities of how casinos operate. Licensed casinos often reserve the right to request verification under specific conditions, such as large withdrawals or suspicious activity, which is a valid concern for players valuing anonymity.
However, the reason I chose "No KYC" for the guide and discussion title is that it's the term most people in the community use when searching for casinos that align with these preferences—especially US-based players using VPNs to access geo-restricted games. From their standpoint, "No KYC" refers to platforms that allow a certain level of anonymity and flexibility, even if there's a small chance of verification. While it might be technically accurate to rename this to "Low KYC" or "Non-Mandatory KYC," such terms aren't as widely recognized or searched for.
That said, I understand the sentiment that the industry could benefit from a more transparent and realistic approach to terminology. Perhaps a section in the guide explaining these nuances—what "No KYC" typically means versus the realities—would help clarify expectations for readers.
Regarding Sportsbet.io and Livecasino, I appreciate the suggestions and will review them for inclusion. Ensuring the list is accurate and reflective of player experiences is a priority, so feedback like this is invaluable.
Ultimately, this guide is a starting point for discussions like these. The goal is to highlight options for players seeking less restrictive platforms while acknowledging the challenges of achieving true anonymity in a regulated industry.
