As we know, many gambling sites have Kyc requirements when making withdrawals. Some people may not have a problem with this condition, but some people think differently about doing Kyc. Some people refuse to fill in their Kyc data for fear of being misused. That's a natural thing, but is the worry too much?
Kyc actually has a function to prevent dangerous actions, such as money laundering. In addition, Kyc can also protect customers from account breakers.
Now there are several gambling sites that do not require Kyc to withdraw funds. That's good news. But I don't know if big money withdrawal need Kyc or not. I've never withdrawn much money.
Are you one of those who agree or refuse to fill out kyc on gambling sites? So far, the Kyc that you have filled in on the gambling site is safe? I've never had a problem with the Kyc that I filled out at the gambling site. Have you ever felt cheated from Kyc submitted?
Like you I make very small bets so I never had any problem with the withdrawals I ask, as this I something rare to begin with it as I usually deposit only the money I want to gamble and just leave it there until it runs out.
But on the instances in which I have asked a withdrawal then the money is sent to my address in a matter of minutes, however if I was forced to go through KYC as I obtained a massive win when I gambled then I would do so as I only gamble at some of the best casinos we have on the forum and I have no doubts about their reputation, but I will admit that if given the choice I would prefer to keep my privacy and avoid that process.
I've never kicked against KYC and never will I as this is a procedure that must be satisfied by any regulated entity. However, the regulation as good as it is in trying to protect our funds and rights might still be a reason why many would be forced to leak their data into the hands of bad people. This is real, and no matter how you think you trust a company, it's the personal integrity of the employee and management that will preserve your data.
And as for casinos, many might be using a kind of dangerous mindset for them but they are still companies. They have laws to abide by, so it shouldn't be much problem, or do we even have a choice?
I, too, would prefer to keep my privacy whenever possible. And if we are talking about payments in cryptocurrency, then in general it was invented and created in such a way as to ensure the anonymity of payments. This is its main advantage and feature.
Therefore, when a casino or another site with payments in cryptocurrency requires KYC, otherwise it simply will not give you your money, this violates this principle simply completely. With the same success, you can simply place bets and play with dollars or local fiat currencies. There is no difference whatsoever. And now the obvious question arises - why do you need to pay with cryptocurrency at all when it’s easier and faster and with a lower commission (usually) to do it with fiat?
In general, legislators have distorted the whole essence of the cryptocurrency and neutralize its main function by introducing KYC and generally verifying the identity of the owner of the cryptocurrency. And I don't like it at all.
