Just stumbled onto this thread and I like the manner in which KYC requirements have been specified for each crypto gambling site individually even though I am aware of most of them.
The key point here is 'KYC if needed'. Some of these sites enforce KYC stating various reasons and it becomes difficult to tell whether they are lying or not.
Whatever the case, most gamblers end up submitting their KYC in order to access their funds since there is no other proper alternative. Silver lining here is that some of these sites never cheat their customers using KYC as an excuse.
I would agree with this. For me, as long as the site HAS an allowance or a need for KYC, then you should mark the casino as KYC needed, or "KYC will be needed in long term". I know it is unfair to some casinos who only ask for KYC in extreme circumstances compared to casinos who ask every withdrawal or every win, but for the benefit of the player, they should know what they are getting into and then maybe have a separate rating for KYC fairness?
I remember with nostalgia those times when no one thought about any KYC, much less demanded it, even if you need to take $100-150... in your wallet.
Now everything has changed, and the worst thing is that this KYC is required in different ways, up to the video image of the face.
But it is known that all personal data bases are constantly leaking somewhere, they are hacked or simply sold, and all this data of yours may well be widely available, including to criminals and various scammers.
And using your stolen personal video data, scammers can create you virtual in the metaverse and then do all sorts of bad things on your behalf.
That's where I see the danger of these fucking and endless KYC.
And so, - in general, OP created an excellent topic!
The first post is above the best praise!
