Onehash does have this kind of feature but it's just an option for the bettors. If you want to register, it's okay but if you don't want to, you have an option to deposit anonymously and you will be given a certain bitcoin address to receive your winning. And after that, the deposit address will be given to you so that's how you bet without any registration. You are not enforcing your gamblers to use it but you are making their lives easier by providing an option.
Even if you make an account on onehash, your identity will not be disclosed. Making as account is always better because in case of any issue/ dispute you have at least an account to take up the matter with support.
The only way the identity can be disclosed is by doing the KYC. Making account will never have any impact.
I'm just giving this kind of feature, a casino won't disclose all of those registered users on their site and it's their duty to protect each user that they have. And what's good with them, they don't require KYC and they are giving you an option to register or not.
Which means, gamble at your most convenient and comfortable way. This is freedom that most of the casino's should have although there's still some perks if a gambler is registered to the casino where he gambles.

I'm working on a football (soccer) betting site, and I'd like to know if it is worth the effort to add the feature to allow no-registration bets. Has it ever been a deciding factor when you pick a site to bet on?

I will really be in full support of you to built such a fantastic application as long as we can avoid KYC

If country has made it legal for gambling and they have given licences to such casinos or online site then we would not have to worry much because they are authorized to do it. Rest of them people are skeptical and might just not want to entertain it.

The anonymity factor that online gambling provides is what makes people choose over physically going to casinos. Being anonymous in your transactions provides safety and convenience to the user especially when dealing with large amounts of trading.

In online gambling sites in our country that is already registered in the government, KYC is really need and I agree with it. However, I like to gamble without sending my personal information to other people so I'd choose the online gambling sites that doesn't require KYC to gamble. Crypto gambling sites doesn't need KYC to gamble and that is the one I'm using in gambling right now.

Personally, I would not risk revealing any kind of personal information especially in gambling sites. That is why websites that contain any KYC feature are things that I avoid when looking in a gambling site. It has its share of benefits but the negative merits outweigh the positive implications of it in the long-run.

No, KYC is really needed in the process especially if you will join an online betting platform that is being registered in a government agency. This is the usual mandate by the government organization to let users in every gambling platform to do KYC. But, if you can see a gambling platform that will not let you do KYC then that platform is not for huge bettinh and only for enjoynment purposes but if it is all about gambling involving huge amount of money then for sure KYC is really needed.

Absolutely and it has more positives with no negatives only if there is a problem if the registration takes our ID to be verified.Normally many gambling sites doesn't ask for KYC until if there is an issue so playing with reputed sites and small amounts will make us to be anonymous.

Keep in mind that KYC needed at certain circumstances to verify the real owner if there is hack attack on anyone's account which has something more positive.

Bitcoin FTW!
I have sent KYC documents only to exchange sites that I trust a lot, and I'd never consider sending KYC documents to something like a cryptocurrency casino site. There's been evidence that some people are selling off documents acquired through KYC in shadier parts of the internet, and I would rather not risk having my personal information stolen just to bet a bit of money on a match. So that being said, for me personally, anonymous betting is definitely something I look for.

security factor is the main thing that can be needed if indeed the related site allows bets without registration. However, features that support anonymity are clearly very favored by many people so that their privacy can be protected, because there are some countries that cannot provide legalization of gambling so that anonymity features can be a way for most gambling lovers who want to maintain the confidentiality of their personal data from the government

If i bet, i would certainly prefer anonymous betting and it is a very important factor in choosing a betting site, as i am not at all interested in providing my personal details in any betting sites.

That is the same with me.

Don't get me wrong though, KYC is great but I don't prefer this since I don't really want to send my personal information to sites. Another thing is that I am not that of a big gambler to send my information just to gabmle. There are a lot of sites online you can visit where they don't require you to send your info.

It depends upon the way an user gamble. In most cases people prefer online gambling with cryptocurrency for the ease of access it provides as well upon the anonymity it provides. Though bitcoin is pseudonyms it has a outlook of completely anonymous. There is a feeling among the common people that gamblers were bad and fit for nothing. This mentality needs to be changed, and until then being anonymous while gambling is good for us.

I think it is important.... from my experience a lot of people won't use online gambling sites if these require personal info. A good way to implement this would be through payment with a privacy coin... (BTC is not anonymous or private)

Signing up on online gambling sites does not differ on signing up on other sites such as social media sites , email sites , youtube  and others  . So why would they be too conscious to provide thier personal info? Unless you mean kyc , kyc is a diferent story .

But there are people that like to stay anonymous and they are the ones that dont usually sign up  .

Other than that , i like your suggestion about privacy coins because btc is not anonymous as it is traceable .

So anyway, I applied as a merit source :)
it would be an interesting feature and I even would use it. there is some demand on anonymous betting on the market so try to implement it.
If you are using bitcoin to pay for your deposits then you are already using it. People use bitcoin and other crypto to circumvent local laws against gambling. Whether this is acceptable or not is another matter of debate. We have so many crypto based casinos here and all of these have a system where people remain anonymous and still play.

However most sites make you start playing without singing up but then ask you to make an account because of easier and safer deposits and a secure account to use again instead of throwaway account. There is nothing wrong in this and in fact denying this is a sign of shadiness from either side.

It shouldn't just for soccer betting site, you can include those all other sports like boxing and MMA.  There are lots of betting site that doesn't need registration I'm sure they are all going to be your competitors. There are some that only needs metamask in order for someone to bet, this is going to be safer for bettors as they need not to deposit coins to the casino.

I also don't like having KYC just to have fun in online betting though it has disadvantages, for us it will have more advantages. No-registration bets should be implemented, I know there are existing sites that don't require KYC, I hope it will be implemented in gambling sites too. It's very dangerous to send your personal info especially in a gambling site where the government is very threatened in this case.

No-registration bets is a very interesting feature and I'm sure if you can make a good promotion too, then at least it's a very good start to get started. Anything that is made for anonymous fixed users will definitely have many enthusiasts and when you are able to make it easier to use it is also enough for a new site will grow quickly. Imho
