Anonymity on the internet?
There's always a print especially now many are making KYC mandatory.
Keeping data makes it easy to create games or situations that would get you hook
And in the case of deleting accounts and data in their database?
I have never believed such shit. They claim alot until they are caught.

I saw this topic today: DuckDice.io Lie about Deleting Accounts, They Ban you and Keep your Data.
It reminded me of a GosuBetting article from a few days ago: Are Sportsbooks Spying on You?. By the way, it's a very interesting article.

This is a very interesting thing, does this mean that there is essentially no anonymity? It's like there's only the appearance of it... Theoretically, it's possible to get around all these obstacles in some way, but that would require additional effort and probably some money.

So "are sportsbooks & casinos spying on us"? Is there anonymity in the crypto-gambling world?

With money, people with skills, AI, and other tools all this is possible... So are we lying to ourselves when we think we are anonymous on the internet and gamble anonymously?

Hmm, at first glance it looked like that IESnare "scandal" was actually rather scary in terms of privacy, but really it's just a bunch of tracking cookies that will be shared across many sites that the same operator might be using - in an attempt to catch people who might be doing things like arb betting. The reality is that companies like Google do this on a much larger scale. You have to remember that most sportbook and casinos these days require KYC for any sort of sizable game play, which means they know exactly who the players are because they have access to some of the most sensitive identity documents already. It should absolutely be expected that they will be doing analysis on your gameplay with the expectation of extracting more money from you, so you do need to keep your guard up to a certain degree (like not chasing slots where the side game looks tantalizingly close to unlocking).

At the time we give them even the basic details of ourselves, we already give them some idea of who we are. It would be more if we fully verified our account by submitting our ID and other information.
At this moment, it is too hard to believe that we still remain anonymous despite saying they will take care of our personal information from others. That is why, as we comply with KYC requirements, we are aware and ready for what happens next. It is their advantage to know their client's behavior so they can take action depending on it.

I wish that situation was better but we cant have special rules only for casinos when all other website and services have more restrictions.
After using many casinos I decided that I prefer if they dont have strict registration rules and that is why I mostly use Sportsbet.io
There are few more casinos I usedin the past but I stopped using them after they confiscated my coins and demanded from me to perform verification.

If someone go for KYC and get verified on a gambling site, know that there is no anonymity for the person regarding the gambling site anymore.

You are anonymous when you gamble on the gambling sites that do not require KYC and using the noncustodial wallet that you use Tor with and making sure you did not link the Tor wallet with your KYC parts.
I doubt if decentralized casinos guarantee gamblers anonymously because with you link in data you can still be traced, I believe the point is that we can be 100% anonymous on the Internet, since we have already leaked a lot of data online, and not only on gambling sites but all over the Internet, what the ops are saying goes beyond KYC verifications to user Internet data infos and using them the track the IP as long as the phone is in that locations. So to achieve full anonymity online one needs to put a lot of things in place to be in a better position to act right and pay every sacrifice to maintain anonymously online and on gambling sites.

As the second article clearly mentions, most people on the internet are aware of what cookies are and how they're tracking our data. The majority, if not all, websites use cookies nowadays; that's not something new. It's a little ironic to talk about anonymity when we are online and connected to the internet. Our phones only collect a ton of data; it's almost inevitable to hide your digital footprint, and even if it is possible, it requires a huge effort. With that being said, how are we expecting anonymity in the gambling world? All casinos nowadays require KYC, perhaps with a few exceptions, but I'm not familiar with those. Even Bustabit, a simple crash game, demonstrates the necessity to comply with KYC measures.

Not really anonymous especially now that most casinos have forced their way into KYC which entitles them to get your data, of course if you have the right connections you can lie to them but most people do not lie and give their real data to such entities. Once they have them it means that they can use it as they like despite they showing us their famous terms of service. I don't think there is any real anonymity in the crypto gambling world except a very few places which we should value them to the maximum since they are not forcing anything on us compared to their equivalent businesses. I guess we are lying to ourselves as being anonymous on the Internet and that we are gambling anonymously.

We are not lying to ourselves, in my opinion. It is possible, even to this day, to be anonymous on the internet and gamble anonymously, but it requires to get out of one's way in order to do so.
To begin with, I would not go for centralized casinos, not even those which are unregulated ones, if I was seeking to keep my identity secret while I gamble, registered or not any centralized entity will have access to your IP at the very minimum.

If I wanted to gamble anonymously, I would try to seek for smart contracts which are easily auditable and have enough liquidity blocked in them for me to wager whatever my gambling budget is, using a fresh new Ethereum wallet with a fresh new address, it would be pretty much 100% anonymous. Though, most gamblers cannot even audit a smart contract by themselves, so it would be a matter of trust.
Perhaps, it is better to stick to reliable and regulated casinos if we don't have to end up losing money to shady smart contracts and "decentralized" casinos.

For the reason being that the gambling platforms are making use of the crypto coins doesn't make them free from data leak, there is no anonymity with them all, because we give our data to them and they also monitor on every steps we are taking by tracking them within their network, this is all clear that when we make use of a centralized platform, then the issue relating to anonymity should be forgotten, but we cannot admit the fact that all the gambling platforms are being responsible for data leak, not all of them, some can be well trusted not to do so.

Some are not about data leak but inside job. The people inside that gambling platform have other intentions why such data has been transferred to those entities. They have other agenda and can be used with ill intentions. So as much as possible, limit your exposure by selecting the platforms that you will submit your info. As you have no idea where will your data will end up with, you are just left to the fact that you are just hoping that it won't be used in illegal means.

Annonymity on the internet is becoming a myth; gambling anonymously is becoming extint because almost if not all casino's currently require you to submit documents about yourself. If this is something you are uncomfortable with as someone considering to gamble, then you should not be gambling online or even gambling at all.

If someone go for KYC and get verified on a gambling site, know that there is no anonymity for the person regarding the gambling site anymore.
Poor understanding of KYC is what is making some people still think they have anonymity after completing KYC verification.

From the moment you enter almost any website, your data, such as IP address and cookies, can be collected. However, many sites collect this information to improve their security and the site's functionality. Most casinos require KYC to maintain their legality and security, meaning that users do not abuse their system. They don't care about money laundering itself; they only keep your information on file in case any authority requests it.

Imagine that a user uses a casino to launder money and said user is 100% anonymous. If the casino cannot provide that data to the authorities, the casino would be responsible for allowing it.

I don't think there is anonymity in gambling, because it will require you to insert your personal information while signing for kyc and there is nothing you can do to escape it, some will even start form the way of registration, when you might have used your email address, means of identification, contact number, region or country and so on, except when we feels like rendering the accurate information about ourself is what we cant afford to do, if not they have our information with them.

Based on the article and the many terms I've read on casinos, they are spying on us and they want to be familiar on our behavior and how we gamble, its important for them to protect their platform and to make sure that they will continue making profits

Unless you know how to customize your online activity to anonymity, we are not anonymous; they can track where we are located, the IP, and your provider.
Its on their terms when you sign up or visit their platform on why they collect data and from where they will use it, but some casinos go to the extent of not only collecting your data but spying on you.
