this is usually the norm for crypto casinos now, as much as I don't like KYC in gambling it can't be helped as these casinos want to operate legally and in order for them to do that they would need a license to operate and follow the regulation that comes with the license. it is also why gamblers should make it a habit to read a gambling site's ToS before registering or depositing on a gambling site.

I stilll can’t believe that KYC can be of any use when it comes to cryptocurrency payments.  In my opinion, this only causes harm. 
Firstly, you waste your precious time going through the KYC verification procedure.  And sometimes this can take quite a long time.  Who needs this anyway?  No one!  This waste of your time just irritates me. 
Secondly, all this contradicts the very essence of cryptocurrency as a tool for anonymous payments.  This is the most important property of cryptocurrency in general!  In general, it is sad that the global banking lobby, through laws, has introduced this same KYC into cryptocurrency payments throughout the world, including in casinos. 
Here, the progress in the development of blockchain technologies, in my opinion, has generally taken the wrong and false path.  This is very upsetting.
I completely agree with you but whether KYC can't be of any use in cryptocurrency payment or it contradicts the "essence" of cryptocurrency doesn't really matter to a lot of them, the gambling sites need to comply with the regulations if they want to keep their license.
Yeah!  It's clear. 
And now, when everyone is accustomed to the fact that with large payments in cryptocurrency, and sometimes even with small winnings in a casino, KYC is constantly required from you. 
I’m actually talking about those political forces, probably the banking lobby and the US security forces, who imposed on the entire world of cryptocurrencies the very need to undergo identity verification through the KYC procedure.  And all casinos, and crypto exchanges, and in general all crypto projects now treat this as a necessity.  But these are actually artificially created obstacles to the c irculation of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, which have nothing to do with the blockchain technology itself, but only destroy its advantage in the form of anonymous payments.  And these obstacles are created by specific people and politicians, naturally belonging to a very small group of people. 
They have ruined the entire blockchain technology due to the fact that they want to remain and be the main financial magnates in the world. 
And with the widespread introduction of KYC in cryptocurrencies, they succeeded.  I state this with regret because humanity has missed a great chance for financial freedom.

OK, I'll share it since so many of you ask for it (Edit in the OP):
I'll share the site since so much people is asking, but I guess this is usual:

That casino doesn't seems a very reputed one to me because they don't have their announcement thread on Bitcointalk
Good point. If only more people would use bitcointalk as a reference, they'd do better.

As for my point: it's not about the KYC requirement, it's about they would take you're money happily without it.

never heard that casino though. this is i believe the advantage of most forum gamblers, they won't play on casinos they can't find in the forum. because you can already find reputable casinos and bookies here. also, you can get good support in case you encountered a prob. so why would you go outside the sites that are known to be reputable here? some are taking the bait of these never-heard casinos because of the perks or bonuses they are offering. but you will only get screwed if you fall for their trap.

I too have not heard about this casino and have not come across it here on this platform before. The name sounds new to me as I am just seeing it for the first time here and I do not think their presence is registered here as well because if they are here, I think their attention would have been drawn to that aspect of their terms and condition to make amend on it which would have been better for them.

It is always so that casino would tell you to deposit without anything to hinder you from playing with them and making wins but when it is time to make withdrawal, they start their show of who are you? and making you to go through verification processes depending on the amount which you would want to withdraw. Know this that you can not play and make big wins on a centralized casino and go Scot free without them looking for a fault to stop you from making withdrawals of your wins.

This is what's wrong with casinos advertising themselves as 'no KYC'. It's just a gimmick that they're trying to portray, and they really are KYC casinos that are trying to market themselves to appeal to a lot of people. I'd avoid no KYC gambling platforms and just stick to the ones that are already known even though they have KYC. At least, they have no hidden agenda in being straightforward with their KYC requirements unlike platform that do not ask for one.

Yeah, pretty fair: give me 2K with no questions, but you won't be able to get a penny without fulfilling the rules. I'ts a regulatory joke. Even is a gambler trap: " I'll try to make it a big ammount so it's worth it to do the paperwork, then you loose. Unacceptable

Most casinos are taking this pathway to be able to maximize profits with the excuse/tyrannic masquerade that "regulations made me do it". It's appalling, and I personally believe that this consistent line of action will be the demise of the cryptocurrency gambling scene, until a solution is found.

I hope that you get your funds back if there is any chance of it.
If the casino did not include KYC procedures stated in their ToS, then they’d be wrong for it but if they did then the players just missed it out and will be left with no other choice but to comply in order to withdraw his funds. If there is an option to send tokens or your funds to other players in that platform who is trustworthy, try convincing the other player to do the KYC for you in exchange for a percentage of your money. Problem is determining which one would be trustworthy to make this happen. But if you are not open for such option then that would be the end of the line before you submit and comply with the procedure. I do hope as well that OP would be able to pull his funds out since he’s no longer being comfortable due to the changes created by the platform.

Just a warning in case it prevents someone from falling into this shitty scheme.

I was checking a crypto-casino with very easy entry just asking email and country, and allowed deposits in the main cryptos. I didn't need to deposit anything to realize that to withdraw funds they did require a complete KYC with ID, etc. I also tested registering from a banned country and even indicating it on the form, and it does not prevent you from making a deposit.

I guess I stated the obvious, but I don't see the point for gamblers in using this.
You seem to have read alot of advice and suggestions posted by experienced gamblers on this forum based on how you check if the casino will require KYC before allowing their user to make a withdrawal because some newbies to members easily fall for this type of casino.
The second red flag is the casino allowing people from the geographical location where their service is banned to register an account which they will later lock the account after the user deposit which shows the casino to be looking for every means to embezzle funds from their users.

I agree to what you say. To add, all casinos have the same rule that they can ask for KYC. It's in all of their ToS. The difference is that some casinos don't ask for KYC. Here are KYC rankings. 1 equals that they will rarely ask for KYC upon a payout request.  5 equals mandatory. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/1-ratings-of-bitcoin-sportsbooks-since-2014-kyc-rankings-bonuses-scam-accus-717790
Different strokes for different folks. We have a casino that requires KYC and we have some that don't require KYC but the drawback is that some of the casinos that didn't require KYC have a high chance of running away with their user fund.
Having said that, all casinos don't have the same rules, and casinos that have the same rules are those that come from the same jurisdiction or share almost the Master license holder.

Well, it's always mandatory to complete the KYC verification on most of the casinos as they need those documents due to license restrictions. The well known casinos have higher limits while the less known ones could have limits like 2k or even less than that. Unfortunately, that KYC is something we can't ignore in the world of online gambling because most of the famous casinos require that information and we have to provide that information if we want to utilize their services.

By the way, sometimes it is also us, the gamblers who don't want to read the Terms and Conditions of that casino considering the TL;DR format, but we forget that they may come up with anything when they want to stop you from withdrawing from their website. It is always advisable to read such things for our own safety. And then, there are casinos where newbie gamblers fall for big bonuses, but they don't know the intentions of that casino and when the casino manages to gather a big amount, it stops giving withdrawals. Stay very cautious these days and try to play on casinos where everything gets resolved quickly. Check Ask gamblers with all types of casinos.
Exactly, please share the name of the casino site because hearsay may often times be contradictory.
Have you also considered the possibility that perhaps you were only allowed access to the site's first page which is open to everyone and would be activated ones you get to fund your account, and it may require KYC verification as part of completing the registration process, before you can withdraw you wins?

I would like to say that it is good to use an online casino that at least one or two persons use, of whom you know and can easily reach for directions or support.

Do I have to submit any documents when depositing money?
There are no documents needed for making a deposit at El Royale Casino. However, in some rare cases, we might ask you to provide a Credit Card Validation form to ensure the safety of your transactions.

How do I request a payout?
After you have submitted all the necessary documents for proving your identity, you will be able to request a payout in the Cashier section of your account. If you are using your mobile device, you need to go to “Menu,” and then to the section “Payout”.

You did well for sharing this,  as to warn newbies from failing into this wrong casinos that sometime may end up locking the players funds and preventing them from withdrawing them from the casino,  meanwhile at first they never indicated that kyc is mandatory.


But let me share with you an easy way to detect such scammyshit when you spot them,  first try read through their term of service and check how their have being complying with it,  and also try the check if the deposit feature are open without demands for kyc or phone/email verifications.

The truth is that what is the point of trying to deposits or play in a casino where you will not be able to withdraw your winning anyways,  because even though you meet their kyc demand their may chose just to lock your balance since that was their initial plans.

Some scammy sites also like to do request KYC once you are trying to withdraw profits, as long as you are in the red all time getting some minor withdrawals processed seems to be no problem, even without KYC.

But once you are in the green your withdrawal is halted and you receive the email. Lucky if they process it after a successful KYC and not come up with some wild accusations such as multiple accounts, bonus abuse, arbitrage betting and so on, of course without providing any evidence supporting their claim, as usual.

Sad developments these days.

Centralized gambling already implements KYC rules due to factors tied to regulations, but most users have accepted the TOS addition to the point of requiring KYC for all categories of users but some other users are against KYC rules and they want anonymity in their account bio. However, they have no other choice to gamble on centralized gambling if they don't verify the KYC of the account, and yes there is no problem if we register an account on top gambling that is recommended and trusted, but the scam case on new gambling has damaged the reputation of top gambling, they assume the site Centralized gambling can no longer be trusted due to the impact of the scam problem on new gambling.

There are many cases of scams in new gambling because they change the TOS rules for reasons of blaming users, they block accounts and withdraw funds, so be careful choosing a gambling site and make sure you have checked reputation, security, reviews from users, usually top gambling sites have sponsored clubs famous footballers and world artists.

That's what happens when you find ToS to be too long and stressful to read, before using any online gambling websites you need to ask the team or customer services about KYC requirements or look for a online casino that are KYC free, you can get details online about this or ask questions on this forum.

I have learned different lessons with online casinos, some ask for KYC details after you win some amount of money and some ask for KYC details after you successfully deposit on their platform, to avoid panic attacks it's better to try passing KYC verification first before using any online casinos.

If KYC is something you don't want to get involved with, then do some research on lists of gambling websites that are KYC free, mind you, just because a casino is KYC free today doesn't mean it will forever be this way, some have suddenly started asking for KYC details in the past and they said to have been forced by regulators.

Well that story is nothing new and a sad development over the past around 2 years.
Mandatory KYC seems to be getting more and more popular among casino and sports betting sites, even at sites like stake where the owner on stream many times said " KYC will never be mandatory ". Oh how times have changed.

Some scammy sites also like to do request KYC once you are trying to withdraw profits, as long as you are in the red all time getting some minor withdrawals processed seems to be no problem, even without KYC.

But once you are in the green your withdrawal is halted and you receive the email.

Not that shocking and its been that a normal or casual thing on which these centralized platforms would really be having that kind of set up on which they would really be asking KYC on the time that you would be able

to reach out a certain threshold and this is something normal because we know that these businesses are really that centralized or law abiding specially if they do are licensed which it would really be understandable that they are really that following some rules and regulations because if not then operation cant really be that possible. This is why it would really be that better that you should really be reading up terms and conditions about those threshold because we know that there are really that still platforms that dont ask out some KYC or simply you could really still play as long you dont violate their terms
then there's no way that they would be asking for some verification.

In overall, once you do touch up these places then make yourself that already been preparing or anticipating that these kind of asking or verification would really be that
likely to be asked later on.

Ultimately it is the responsibility of the person placing the bet to fully agree to what are in most circumstances, fairly reasonable terms and conditions. While there may be a lot of them to cover all sorts of legal scenarios that need to protect both parties, "know your customer" rules are pretty standard these days - even on fiat currency sites - so any regular gambler should expect them to be in there. You could argue two ways: these gambling sites will sometimes allow people to test, at a small scale, the functionality of the site without risking too much and possibly allowing withdrawals, or at the very least causing the player to abandon very little. Alternatively anyone depositing large sums of money in another site should be well aware of the rules around using it, for their own protection.

To me this sounds rather as a scheme not only to get people's money but also a way to profit off selling personal information of gamblers to hackers or other shady service providers.

For example, a casino could lure people onto depositing and because the KYC policies, they would slowly gather information, since they already have the email of those victims; then it is a personal profile which is of interest of targeted advertisement providers.

So, they earn money from both abandoned funds of those who decide not to withdraw and also from those providing documents.  Sad
This is true in the case of some sites, but not all of them obviously since there are plenty of legitimate sites out there that properly secure your KYC through their well designed protocols.

The ones that actually sell user information generally execute such operations very carefully in an extremely secure and private environment.
