Those who use casinos for money laundering are different category of people, they nowhere wants to flash their documents. But for a regular gambler, what is the fear of sending his KYC to a casino? I believe, that those people who want and try to hack casinos, search for money, rather than try to steal casino clients KYC. I havent also heard that users private data was leaked from casinos. I dont follow the idea that KYC should be passed everywhere, but we must accept that documents can be leaked everywhere, where we send them. But then what, keep documents at home in safe box all the time? For example people are not afraid to send their passport via email to traveling agencies when they book vacation, but afraid to do it for casinos, when casinos have much better security than an employee of a traveling agency, whos password probably is qwerty and is kept under keyboard.
And in my opinion, leakage of personal data is possible from any casino simply for the reason that the gambling industry itself is a Mecca for all kinds of scammers and criminals. Perhaps this sector of the economy cannot be compared with, for example, the tourism business, where, of course, there are much fewer scammers. For this reason, any personal data provided by the casino, in my opinion, represents a kind of trace from the player and information that he is a player in gambling games. And in the future, taking into account modern technologies, such information can be used not only for marketing purposes in the form of targeted casino advertising, but can also be used, for example, by an employer to study a candidate for some good job. Well, you understand that in this case, the passion for gambling really reduces the chance of getting a job. And this influences the employer’s decision in a completely different way than if he finds out personal information about tourist trips. It’s just that in public opinion, the passion for gambling is quite close when compared, for example, with alcoholism. Unfortunately, this is still the case and usually causes negative associations among people who know about your passion for gambling.
