Yes for me anonymity is very important where especially in my country online gambling is banned and you could go to tail if you're found out gambling online.
That's why i use cryptocurrency gambling sites because it requires no personal data or KYC and any gambling site that requires it is a red flag for me.

I think I can agree with this. Because with online crypto gambling, you can hide your gambling activities and also by using your VPN, you don't need to worry if someone is spying your online activities. I think most online gamblers are after for privacy and anonymity. And if you are a small timer, a lot of websites don't require KYC and you can enjoy the games without worrying that you need to submit your docs. Aside from benefiting all the other conveniences that online gambling is offering to a player.

I will not use a casino or betting site in bitcoin/crypto-coins that ask KYC or any other form of identification. For me it's like a "blasphemy", a totally non sense.
Plus they are not allowed to provide betting service in my country (Italy) since they are not affiliated to AAMS our local agency. So why I should identify with a service that is not recognized in my country?

I am seriously missing nowadays the excellent service provided by DirectBet Sad

one of the best and honest betting site that I have seen in my life.

Choose a bet, and get an address to send a payment. Easy as click on a link.
For information, as example about their awesome service, during the closure of the site they payed with a bonus earnings of affiliate (even if minimum for payment was not reached!)

I use to bet MMA there in DirectBet back in the days. We can bet with just our BTC address and we are all good to go to receive the winnings when we win. We don't even need to register. These are the kind of games that use to exist in bitcoin, now they are gone including the secondstrade where we can play binaryoptions with just btc wallet. No registration required.

Oh heeelll yeah. I definitely do, there is no way I wouldn't care about it. Hell if I am gambling on a brand new place I try to change my IP, use ToR and basically get out as quickly as possible and delete and change everything. Of course some parts of it is the fact that I do not want to be found and that is understandable, I wouldn't want everyone to know who I am but that is not really that big of a deal, uncomfortable sure but wouldn't create too much trouble for me.

However, more important part is the fact that I do not want government to know that I am gambling, its not allowed in my nation to gamble crypto and there has been some people who have been punished for it (I think it was around 700 dollars or so) and that is a money I rather not pay if I could avoid it.

Despite some casinos being legal like having a license in curacao egaming, these casinos doesn't require KYC to its client. earnbet.io for instance doesn't ask KYC too. The good thing about being legal is that less chance of scam for both parties.

But privacy seem to be the more important for gamblers. I myself don't wanna submit documents to the casinos, we don't even knew who the owners of these casinos.

Am always conscious about my privacy when dealing with online gambling casinos. The protection of gamblers privacy should be prioritize by all gambling platforms, though there are limitations to this. Different countries with different laws working go or against gambling platforms, particularly in my country, we don't have rules against gambling platforms while others do. Some gambling platforms still can't allow their gamblers to gamble without registration or providing their privacy while in some zones you're free to gamble without any registration.

Also, most of these gambling platforms that allow gamblers without getting to know their privacy are sometimes faulting the laws of the land.

I think a lot of us agree that privacy and being anonymous has more benefits compared to playing in a casino where KYC is a must and that casino has all your real data.We don’t know how that data will be handled.For example a grumpy employe can steal this kind of data and use it for all sort of things.Based on this I think privacy and KYC less casinos are most followed and played from the gambling community.

Yes, that's true from there people managing the casinos knows who among their clients are considered high rollers and big businessmen, anonymity, and data privacy are two things that makes online gambling more attractive, and there's a possibility that online gambling will surpass gambling casinos in terms of revenues.

If we are talking about the crypto casino, there shouldn't be any KYC. We use crypto casinos not just because of the accepted assets but the anonymity we are expecting from it. The email and sometimes phone number is enough as verification and should not exceed that because bitcoin which is the father of crypto is an anonymity based asset.

We do have many choices in the crypto casino option that doesn't offer KYC and offering a good privacy protection about their players. Launching a casino with a KYC requirement in it is a bad move. Players would normally avoid that kind of casino. Gamblers don't really want to have their identity through the internet especially we are dealing with money.

I think almost all crypto gambling still prioritizes the privacy of its users without having to involve KYC for registration and withdrawal etc.

^ Definitely right, online casino players have different ideas and preferences when it comes to anonymity but mostly choose to be anonymous when gambling because of additional security on the risk of identity theft and other threats. For me, I prefer playing in online casinos because of both anonymity and convenience and that is for the same reason, anonymity for identity security and convenience since physical casinos are pretty far from my residence besides I am not a big-time gambler and most of the time I only play gambling for entertainment and fun.

Hell yeah! That is why most of us are here. Grin

We don't want our personal information to just leak out there.

We don't want our wives to know we are gambling some of the money which could have been for his shopping.
The neighbors too of course. We don't want them searching our names and just finds out we are gambling even though not a lot.

Thank you for the list.

Privacy is very important for most gamblers, I like to be anonymous while I am gambling, this will make me safer especially for gamblers who are wagering a huge amount of money, you know, the world is so dirty, it's possible that the site will go after you if you are a big bettors of if you win big, these are just possibilities but it could happen, so if we have a chance to hide our identity then I think we will choose to be anonymous.

However, there is a risk for this as well, if we gamble with huge amount and we like to be anonymous, we can't file a legal action against a site in case they will scam us in the long run.

And also if your identity is revealed there's a lot of leeches when you are going to win on your gambling game. If you will win big they are going to be around you and if you lose big they will look down on you. There's a lot of factors when you are gambling and your identity is exposed. Online or physical gambling, it's better to hide your identity so you will lessen your chance of getting problem.

And I highly suggest to stick to online gambling everyone. Stay safe!!! Grin

Privacy concerns is not limited to a specific group of users, so you would have online gamblers who care about their data and those who do not.
Privacy is not the only factor to consider, reputation of the site should weigh more. There is a lot of risk that comes with a site which is not trusted or reputable even if they offer registration without the need for KYC.
There's also the case of how much information is required, I used a gambling site recently, which required the smallest of details to allow a withdrawal, no prove to the data provided was requested and I could imagine a lot of users got in with fake identity.

I personally do not really care about protecting my identity when its gambling related. I sometimes gamble with my crypto as well and it is convenient not needing to pass a kyc verification.
But to be honest when I start gambling bigger balances I feel much more convenient to place my bets on fiat supported sports books like for example Betfair. and I mostly use the betting exchange where you wager peer 2 peer and you do not have any risk to get your account limited or restricted cause you don't win from the house but from other players

Every licensed gambling platform should abide by law when asked to. So, all of them may ask you to do a KYC and to prove your source.
There are both kind of people. One who don't care but they too would love the simplicity of come win and leave. If forced to, they would fill their KYC without any issue. The other group are careful about their privacy, they'd rather leave a small amount they exposing their identity. And there's the last group that uses gambling site to launder their wrongful earning, they are why KYC are made for. If found they could leave coins but won't reveal themselves.

Sometimes people prefer to provide their KYC if the gambling is legal in their country and they do not want to involve in any type of complications by hiding their gambling earnings and therefore avoiding the tax. Although this number may be few but that's one reason why some people will prefer to do KYC and declare everything crystal clear.

Imagine your identity will scattered and used by scammers to scam people do you think its good? or you are been target by so many scammers or other attacks since your privacy is not been protected by the site you played do you think it still enjoyable if you encounter this problem? so that is important and ask yourself if you can really risk all just to play.

Gladly, we have anonymous gambling websites which don't require KYC for the members so we can still play gambling without revealing our identity. We don't want to be the next target by the scammers or hackers because they will search for the people who cannot be careful to protect their identity. When it comes to the internet, we really need to be careful because no one can guarantee that we will always get safety from bad people. So we should not easily to give our identity to the website which we don't know that is good or not.
