I think that some gamblers are having problems adjusting to the new reality of this market, years ago a great deal of the casinos did not ask for your personal information, so the majority of the gamblers got to enjoy having a very smooth experience when they gambled and they were happy that their privacy was being respected.
But things have changed, governments have realized this market is here to stay and they want to regulate it, so more casinos have been forced to increase the requests of personal information, so if someone does not wants to go through them they need to select the casino in which they want to play very carefully and keep themselves updated about the policies of that casino so they do not get surprised with a KYC request.
In my opinion, the rules remain the same, namely for the safety and convenience of users themselves to avoid suspicious accusations, including committing ToS violations. As for the involvement of the government that seems to want to control the inflow of finance, it is only one of the requirements for a legal casino. It's not that registered casinos give away user data just like that. I believe that the casino also needs a large income to keep it running, will continue to ensure that user data is not easily handed over without something suspicious.
Yes, this is one of the things that is so difficult to fight for, some try to deal with everything that can bother governments, whether in physical casinos or online casinos, I don't know where they bother more, in the case of the physical casinos in the country I live in have an open business with the government so that they can operate without any commitment, in the case of online casinos, it is negotiated through licenses, and for me the whole problem with KYC or sometimes when withdrawals are made they can request a KYC, this can also be one of the protocols that they require so that everything is within the legal framework.
~ I personally am all for KYC implementation on every crypto gambling site.
saying privacy is only for criminals or that you're fine with giving up your privacy because you have nothing to hide is the same as saying free speech is not needed because you have nothing to say
Freedom of speech is not absolute. Google it. So, to keep order in our society, we have to give up our freedom to say some things. Same here with KYC on gambling sites. In order to stop money laundering, financing of terrorism and some other bad stuff we agree to give up some of our privacy. Just a little bit of it, actually. Because no one is gonna see your KYC data unless there is a police warrant.
Well, there is an absolute reality that is as you say, it is known that as time goes by they will try to take away people's privacy, I don't know, I have seen this since 2017 with many projects that came out that were about privacy where always who reigned was and still is Monero, that is why the casino that implements Monero will give them many clients, because there is something that was talked about and it was about the adoption and the adoption of Bitcoin and even cryptocurrencies is not the problem, and that it will be given without effort, now what will be most sought is to be more anonymous, and only those who provide this service are the ones who will have the leadership without a doubt.
