As I was expecting, the consensus is everyone prefers to play on KYC less platforms but there's a few willing to compromise provided that it is a licensed online casino.

I wonder what level of information are you willing to provide?
- email?
- phone number?
- identification card?
- passport?

What Darkdays said kind of bugs me.

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.

Normally they will only do this under very particular circumstances though, e.g. if they're suspected of money laundering or manipulating the system.

Obviously requesting KYC from a user is extremely bad PR, so you can understand why these platforms would be hesitant to do it.

That said, there are some benefits to the practice, and most casinos will likely implement some relaxed KYC procedures eventually due to increasing pressure from the financial authorities.

If there is a clause stated somewhere in the Terms and Conditions that online casinos can ask for verification anytime they see it necessary, that just means there is no KYC less gambling platform in reality. The no verification policy appears to be a marketing strategy to attract small time and average players. The big time players probably knew they are always required to submit their personal details.

I'm not questioning the strategy by the way. It actually makes sense. Online casino owners allows anonymous registration and get more players in the process while complying with regulatory authorities.

There appears to be a different view on what a legit online casino is.
TimeTeller says the legit do not ask for KYC even if you win a big amount while ryzaadit says otherwise and citing a case.

I have updated the list and added casinos provided in the comments. I encourage the readers to please verify first.

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%.

777Coin the sister company of Bitvest deserves to be in the spot also, they are very reputable, they have been here for a long time and they have a very active signature campaign here in Bitcointalk, gamblers favor anonymous gambling so expect to see this as the trend and many gambling with the same features coming out.

Of course I as an online gambling player prioritizes privacy and anonymity, therefore I am looking for online gambling websites without
KYC procedure. For me personal data is valuable, therefore privacy and anonymity are important to me. My favorite online gambling
websites are stake.com and bitvest.io, both websites are not only without KYC. But have many types of gambling games and most
importantly easy to make deposits and withdrawals.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/cloudbet-not-responding-for-my-330-btc-withdrawal-5106313

Cloudbet with an anonymous service, still asking an ID + KYC from his customer withholding around 330 BTC. The luck things, he got the bitcoin after a few trying to asking some help to all bitcointalk users. From this case, I thinking casinos and other things will always be required KYC no matter he has a service anonymous service, etc.

if im not mistaken i think i saw a kind of survey like this before and i read that many gamblers do like to be anonymous while playing a gambling . that could also be the reason why they are here playing with cryptos than on fiat because some things that are related to cryptos are anonymous while some still request for your names and other private infos. for me i just play traditionally like signing up a bit and provide name , email , etc as long as the site is legit

The reason for the development of online casino is for convenience and by far anonymity has always been the thing that the Internet caters. Of course these people want the aasurance that they are anonymous, that is the reason that they are gambling, we can always play at physical casino but I think that it is evident to online gamblers why they want to play online, well most of them do want the privacy so I could be wrong. The reason for playing with complete anonymity besides the fact that they can be targeted when they win big is that most of them are ashamed of what people will think of them, this stigma that we put on people are making things worse, this worsens someone's addiction, instead of people knowing that someone gamble, the anonymity that online gambling offers becomes a safe haven for people that wants to get out of the ever prejudiced eyes of the masses.

this is a theme that generates only very different positions, for example people are in the crypto world to escape government control and many casinos say that they do not ask their customers to do KYC, what I see Is that when a casino customer wins but from 30 BTC the casino asks the customer to do kyc, it has these cases in the acam accusation section. My question that I always have was:

if the casino has no license, why ask the customer who won more than 30 BTC to do KYC?

the casino's argument has always been that it has a curacao license, but they forget that when the customer opened the account and made a deposit the casino did not ask the customer to do kyc.

this has been the biggest problem with online casinos, which is why talking about privacy while online casinos constantly ask their customers to do KYC whenever the customer wins a lot of bitcoin is a subject that is far from reaching any consensus

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.

I prefer to play gambling on the website, which doesn't have KYC like other members. I don't want to send the document because I am playing gambling, and that is why I choose to play online gambling. I cannot find a physical casino in here, or I don't know how to find that place, and I know online gambling, so I prefer to play online gambling.

Once people have found what the online gambling site they search, they will not move to another website because they will feel comfortable with what they choose. If they try another gambling website, I think they want to check what is the other gambling site provide which is not available on the site that they played before. I think many online gamblers will concern about their privacy and anonymity.

I was planning to make a comprehensive list but I am aware there are more Bitcoin online casinos not in here. Please add more if I missed your favorite anonymous online gambling platform. I will try to improve the list if there are platforms that are like exchanges who do not require KYC if they withdraw or deposit a certain amount of Bitcoin.

Here you can find the List of 20 Bitcoin Gambling Sites (http://100bookies.com/gambling-sites-that-accept-bitcoin-eng/), which allow anonymous registration.

And all of the services.

Will be asking you a KYC went your money or winning a big amount on their platform. Went you meet this situation they will ask you to do a KYC for a reason "Identity Confirmation" with a few reasons even the Casino offering an Anynoumous service. Care or not went you have a lot of money on the casino and need to past KYC before you can withdrawal the money. You will be still doing a KYC on the casino, why not everyone does not meet this problem cause they gamble with a small fund more proof you can find it on the "Scam Assumption".

Legit online casinos will not require KYC even if the player wins big time.

@OP, if you can update also your list as suggested by other members here- akhjob, cabalism13, ralle14

I prefer also to play in online casinos that don't require KYC and you will find a lot of them in this forum alone.

Online gambling sites are evolved just because people who don't want to expose their personal information to public places while enjoying their bets, because gambling is considered as a sin in some religions.So yes people loves to play anonymously and most of the gambling sites operating with cryptos are KYC less.

I mostly play online gambling with no or less KYC, because I'm aware of my privation especially for new or unknown online casinos. But for popular, trusted, and good reputation online casinos, I'm fine if I should submit my personal information. I'm just don't want my identity got misusing from them. I think majority of gamblers are not want to submitting their KYC to online casino.

Majority of gambling sites are anonymous and they will only ask for KYC for verification, that is one of the advantages of playing online your information is confidential but if a gambler is going to play with huge amount he should make sure play with online gambling site that has a good reputation.

I play online gambling because i do not want to disclose my identity. Even if i perform the KYC, my freinds and family won't know that i am playing gambling online. This is totally different from gambling in physical casino where your friends can see you that you were the one who was gambling.

Majorly people would like to stay anonymous and would not like to give their KYC details for various reasons they have it. It may differ from person to person and major reason is that they do not know how the KYC details could be misused by the sites if provided to them.

I always avoid online casinos with KYC but I don't mind playing on those listed sites that could potentially require KYC since I rarely win more than BTC0.1 from my small deposits. I like what Welsh mentioned about KYC in general and the same thing can be said with exchanges since you've mentioned it. I think it just depends on the certain guidelines you have before handing out your personal information.

As much as possible I always wanted to be anonymous especially when playing in an online casino. So, I prefer to play in an online casino where KYC is not an issue. I often avoided the casino that requires identity verification and plays within the limit where a Casino won't ask for KYC since some Casino asks for identity verification if we happen to win a very huge amount of money.

I think most crypto casinos and betting sites do not require KYC. It would be ironic or even like a suicide for them to offer crypto gambling and require KYC. However, just like some exchanges which provide a certain withdrawal and deposit limit to account owners with no KYC, crypto casinos and betting sites may occasionally require account owners to provide certain personal information. This is normally done on grounds that suspicious activities are going on with your account or a certain violation of the site's ToS is observed.
