People chooses online gambling sites to hide their identity to the world so most of them will choose KYC less sites even if they got less offers, actually there huge number of sites have no KYC policies but under some circumstances they might ask you personal details to save your funds from any hack attacks so you must be ready to give your details at any time even if there is no KYC required.

Most of the online gambling website doesn't require this KYC on their websites. That might be a big deal for a lot of users since they are risking their personal details so a website but there are also users who don't really care about their personal information since most of it is already online anyway. Probably KYC is use for user control and also most of the time for security of the website since it involve a lot of money in a gambling website it is just normal for them to take counter measures especially for a lot of hackers out their.

Personal I wouldn't do KYC for any gambling website because i don't really want to risk my personal information for a shady websites but i could do it for some gambling websites that is already trusted that is in the listed. But we love gambling for even for a lot of user kyc will not matter at all.

If you look at the terms and conditions of most gambling sites (even crypto ones), you will find that almost all will have a clause that allows them to request identity verification from any user.

i don't think that applies at SwC Poker. i've never heard of anyone getting hit with KYC. this is what their terms say: https://swcpoker.eu/house-rules#require-dox

Quote

Do you require my dox/identification?‍

No. We at SwC Poker flatly reject the idea that an online poker room should require your personal information. We believe the online poker experience should be similar to a live cardroom, whereby players can buy chips, play, and cash out anonymously. By using Bitcoin, SwC Poker can securely, anonymously and quickly process transactions without requiring any documentation. Only an e-mail address is required to create and use an account.‍

that's a big plus in my book. i hate giving out my dox. that goes for exchanges, casinos, whatever. they just can't be trusted to secure your data.

Provided each user does not violate their TOCs right?
Assuming everybody abides by the house rules, I wonder how long this will last? Perhaps even SwC Poker will change their tune once authorities starts knocking on their door or when big amounts are involved? There was a case posted in the previous comments of an online casino suddenly asking personal information.

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.

Obviously we do, we like privacy even in things that we normally do in life.
Online gambling in crypto provides privacy, you can make an account with an email only, no need for KYC information or to submit a document, which is different in fiat operated online gambling, and I think sooner, more gamblers will try to escape the fiat gambling and will gamble in crypto casinos.

WOLF.BET - Provably Fair Crypto Casino

Well, I think that passionate gamblers don't think much about their privacy and anonimity, they are primarily focused on game, how to win and then withdraw the money.
But they should pay attention to their privacy and how their data are being collected and kept,. All legitimate online platforms are obliged by law and KYC is a must, also they need to protect your data but not all gamblers play in legitimate online casinos and there is a big risk of personal data abuse.

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.

The answer on this question depends on your position, from the place where you live in. To not get too much into that, there are many people and different personalities, but for us ordinary people it's the same, what we care about is easy access, easy deposits and withdraws, and it's not a problem to do a KYC, problem is money transfer, at least it was a problem for me in early days, and even now with fiat I would have to go to the bank, to open special account for foreign currencies, to explain them every time where the money is coming from, to sign some papers... crazy things, I don't wish to get trough that! I like crypto for that, for me as a person who live in a third world country crypto opened a whole new world, and I am not leaving it, even if my government create some laws about it (for now there aren't any) I will hide, I will find a way!

I think yes, gamblers do think about their privacy and anonymity. I tried gambling toa site but as of now they don't have various kind of games and there are gamblers deposit and I also tried deposit and withdraw there. Registration doesn't need KYC and you can use nickname to avoid using real name and you can hide your game status. I am not promoting this site.

As far as I know, freebitco.in don't ask for a KYC neither. I didn't see this one in your list. You can deposit and withdraw any amount and it is all automated. Did these a lot before and they never asked me any questions. (Not saying they'll keep doing this or advising you to deposit huge money)

freebitco.in does not need KYC but i am not sure when it comes to winning a jackpot there, will they still let you withdraw without the KYC ?

Most of the gambling sites will not ask for KYC until they feel that someone is misusing their service.

KYC is a big "NO" for me especially when it comes to "crypto-online" gambling but I already accept that if ever there will be big winnings, a KYC might surely be asked even it's not on their terms.

Crypto Exchanges and Crypto Gambling platforms are different. For the latter, it shouldn't be a mandatory requirement as it destroyed the purpose of why gamblers choose crypto in gambling.

For fiat gambling, I understand that KYC is needed here. In fact, I'm a verified user in one of the local online casinos here where I submitted my personal credentials.

Bottom line, the reason I shifted to crypto-gambling many years ago is the less hassle way of placing bets, simply register-deposit-bet. Less hassle compare to fiat gambling sites wherein KYC is a must before betting.

Omicron is another FUD

Data privacy is sensitive.. if we go to an offline casino (traditional) Do the players who win are asked for privacy data before withdrawing money?? it's actually not important for gambling site owners to know who are the winners on their site unless they are working with the government in supervising gambling players..

Quote from: Kong Hey Pakboy on May 22, 2020, 03:30:33 AM

I think most gamblers think and cares about their privacy and anonymity, that is why most gamblers hates submitting and filling up KYC for them protect their own personal information and data. It is the reason why i am so picky in gambling sites, so i could play gambling more safely and secured without any worries about hacking and identity theft.

the sale of privacy data is still intense in the deep web.. just recently I heard about the sale of dozens of user data in one of the hacked online stores..

The fact that you're using Bitcoin in any activity like online gambling, you want to be anonymous on that platform. This is one of the factors that gamblers considered for choosing online gambling. Most of the crypto gambling platforms do not require KYC which is gamblers are afraid of, there's no need to put even single information about yourself.

Also, they can get a lot of benefits when they're gambling on crypto-related platforms, the first one is to gain a lot of profit when BTC's price surge and the second is free BTC rolls especially when you're an active player on that site.

You don't need to register when you visit the platform because, there's an automated account for everyone but you can go in full account if you want to keep the account that's automatically made for you.

thats cool . this is one of the diffenition of private gambling . afaik 7 coin doesnt have a chat room right ? this makes the site more literally private because your typically gambling alone vs the computer but still its not like a real computer a.i because the result here is still random and not being manipulated . this is why gambling site like this are growing because they are succesful because people loves to protect thier privacy while still ejoying the game

It's cool right? I have seen some casinos do also this.

There's no chat room though.

There are reasons why gambler shift to crypto gambling platforms, and one of them is privacy and anonymity.

By using cryptocurrencies on their gambling venture, they are protected by one layer of privacy at the least, and most crypto gambling platforms do not really ask much questions when it comes to your identity. Just be sure that you are the only one using the account and do not break their ToS and you'll have a pleasant time.

I have had experiences with different online casinos that offer different things, and so far crypto casinos offer the most features I like in a gambling platform. There's really just no strings attached when you play on these platforms as compared to casinos that require KYC. Who knows what they're doing with the information they took from you, plus the fact that you gamble online makes it really more worrying to know where your data might end up.

I am constantly gambling in different sites listed in the forum but I always choose a gambling site that values anonymity, though there are some condition that a user will have to undergo a KYC compliance if it breaks a certain rules or a certain amount of withdrawal is big that requires some KYC compliance but I never face this kind of requirement, because first I don't gamble much and I don't break the rules of a certain gambling sites.

so I value my privacy and anonymity 100%.

All of them will surely ask out KYC if they would find out something fishy into your gambling activity and thats always been part of their ToS but most of the time where these casinos doesnt really have any problems
in terms of anonymity and privacy aspect.

You can play all you want and create an account as easy as 1-2-3 and answering the question if gamblers do think about their privacy? Definitely yes and thats the main reason why crypto gambling booms up

due to this feature where you can play anonymously which is way more better and totally contrary if we do play on fiat casinos/gambling places.
