Using a KYC gambling casino isn't safe for privacy reasons but they will never inform you about this because they wouldn't want you to get scared and loose trust in them and run away, all this have to do with centralized institutions that will always require from us, KYC is not what the casinos also needed to track us by all means through it but whenever the need for doing such occurs either from them, their employees or government, we remain vulnerable to all valuable informations given because they will always be subjected to low safety on demand.
But the average gambling today applies KYC to its customers, it will definitely be applied especially for those who use the greater amount of money in gambling or withdraw the money, with the maximum withdrawal limit without KYC, it will definitely be implemented KYC to them.
If you want to remain anonymous we have to play under the minimum withdrawal standard on the gambling platform, it is the safest step that can be taken by someone who maintains their privacy but wants to play gambling on the famous gambling platform or has a good reputation.
And indeed I myself that the dangers of personal information are very important, there are just naughty employees on their side and make customer losses, and therefore must be good at finding responsible platforms.

In my point of view this is really risky. These are gambling websites which you are talking about, even I don't use the online exchanges which requires KYC to withdraw funds. Because this is risky. Because I think why I should give personal data to anyone KYC documents are highly confidential documents so we should avoid.
That's what we want but we also can only accept if one day, online exchanges or even casinos require us to do KYC before we can withdraw funds. Online casinos and exchanges only follow the regulatory requirements given by the regulators and don't want to violate them, so they also implement KYC on their members.

And the only way we can do that is to find casinos or online exchanges that still allow users not to do KYC or at least not do KYC at all. It all depends on which one can make us comfortable choosing, whether it is an online crypto casino or an online exchange. And people do KYC on online casinos and exchanges because they trust that the casinos and online exchanges can keep the paperwork properly.

Some reputable casinos use third party verifiers. Your documents will be sent to those verifiers and will remain encrypted on their servers. Those verifiers are licensed companies and according to the laws they will delete all your data if you request so.
What's funny is that a random casino asked a customer to provide his documents through live chat! How reliable is this? Such casinos should never be trusted.
Some casinos that are new don't do things in a proper way, what you said is an example of that. The support team asking customers to provide KYC documents through live chat is obviously one of the least expected things in a casino or any kind of platform. It shows how nonauthentic and untrustworthy a platform actually is and they can definitely not keep your data and information safe if you complete your KYC verification with them.

Third-party verifiers might be trusted sometimes, but some of them might not have the reputation required for people to have complete trust in them. That's why it feels much better if a platform is doing the verification and stuff themselves instead of using a third-party verifier.
Well, I think I would have to differ a bit from your opinion, personally, as a user, it is hard to tell whether the casino themselves have the facility to keep your data safe, and it is also hard to believe same for the third party verifiers, both can be vulnerable to hack and both can be safe, but then, Ive always believed that one of the reasons why casino employ the services of a third party to handle their customer verification is because they themselves might be too busy wit other stuff, and might not have the facility required to properly keep customers data safe.

And knowing that the third party's main focus is on verifying users and making sure that the data is kept safe, it's believed that they are more likely to protect users data than the casino themselves.
Personally, I think that if the casino had the required facility to effectively carry out users verification and keep the data safe, they wouldn't have gone outside to pay third party verifiers for the service.

That's true but these days gamblers don't care about anything and even if the site leaks their data they don't care about it. They are intentionally doing KYC on those sites because most people think that KYC is a necessity on the sites where you can earn money. The same case is with the users who have their accounts on crypto-sites, they are also doing their KYC because it has been feeded in their mind that KYC is necessary to get your money and earnings into your bank accounts. Even those sites that have been in industry for more than 2 years or more can sometimes misuse the KYC data. I have heard that KYC data is getting sold for solid rates on black markets, and if that's true then doing KYC on any website is unsafe, and if a user does that then they are willing accepting the fact that their data can be leaked or hacked and will be shared with many people. 

You said it right, after knowing that there's a chance that your data can breach and might be sold out into black market and you are still willing to complete and submit it, only proves that you are confirming and you are accepting what the casino is requiring you, whatever happened in that information you can't blame anyone.

As it's a part of the user and agreement where you accept that there's nothing you can do whatever happened to your data, you submit it with that will have accepting and acknowledging that said rule.

If you do not submit the kyc data then how will you make an account on gambling site and gamble with your money ? Even if you are lucky to deposit and gamble without the KYC still on the withdrawal they will ask you for your KYC and if you do not complete the KYC data you will not be able to withdraw the amount.

The only precautions you can take is to store / submit the KYC on trusted sites so there are less chances of your data being used illegally or unlawfully. Other than this we have no option but to submit the KYC

it's logical since no one would really try playing on a casino that request a KYC up front. 
This isn't accurate since many gamblers play at popular sites like Roobet, Stake etc who mandatorily enforce KYC since they trust those sites completely. Some gamblers provide fake KYC in these sites which is a risky approach.

Mandatory KYC(Any Level) sucks regardless of how popular the site is in my honest opinion.
I don't think that casinos or any platform ask their players or customers to complete KYC verification because they like to do it, but they do it because it is enforced by the regulatory bodies that issue licenses to these platforms, so they are basically compelled to make it mandatory for customers to complete KYC verification before they can access all the features of the platform including withdrawals which is the most important thing in my opinion.

So we shouldn't really blame the platforms for imposing KYC and making it mandatory, we know that a lot of gamblers leave a certain platform only because it requires KYC and I don't think any business would like that but they are compelled to comply with the AML rules.

Also gamblers choose those trusted casino like what you said above it because they need to have the assurance cause KYC is very informative cause they will ask some of our private information which pretty good if we choose a trusted one in order to avoid such mistakes and spread our identity in the wrong and scammer casino. For me as long as the casino is trusted enough then there's no doubt that I will give some of my Private information.

More on how you trust the site and nothing else, if you feel that casino already have established business and you are okay in providing KYC, meaning to say that you are willing to give your personal data, do your diligence to investigate and not just because you play and you experienced something or you heard that the site is quite good then you will give your personal information. Make sure that you are really done investigating and you are aware of the consequence after you submit your data.

It would be nice for one-time KYC. The gambler send data to the verifier, casino asks this verifier to KYC the gambler, after it the gambler asks verifier to delete data. But in this situation casino mustn`t KYC again and must has some mark that this gambler don`t need KYC one more time. Well-known casinos willn`t have any problems with it i think. The same time fake casinos willn`t agree such kind of KYC i think.

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?
if you don't want to go KYC verification then dont gamble in those casino that asks this .

there are still casinos out there that free from KYC .

and still , I want to know the complete details why people hate bringing kyc in online gambling when that is the reality , maybe not now but sooner it will be implemented for all.
It is not really that complicated, this market in general gave a greater degree of privacy to the people that adopted it years ago, so they got used to it very quickly, and now we are seeing those freedoms we had are disappearing before our eyes and people are not taking this lightly.

But as you said this is already becoming the norm and during the next years it is bound to get even worse, so people will need to take a decision, to stop gambling completely or simply accept this new reality and move on.

I disagree. If this were truly the case, why aren't all crypto casinos enforcing mandatory KYC? I play at sites like Crypto.Games, Bitcasino, Sportsbet etc where they don't enforce mandatory KYC.

Crypto gambling sites are forced by regulators to enforce KYC for sure, but they don't need to make it mandatory under certain conditions.

And I think KYC is extremely harmful and already very outdated and generally completely unnecessary procedure.  

The fact is that the digital footprint of any Internet user is already so large and informative that you just need to go to some serious promoted service with connected personality recognition programs, using AI, or simply with a well-built Big Data analysis, and on the receiving side  already reliably with a probability of 99.9% know who you are.  The question is - why do you need to once again give your data to someone else and replenish information in the global databases of personal data.  It's just a waste of your time.  Therefore, all these KYCs should already start to die and remain in 2010-2020.  And now no one really needs them, and even harmful because they take up your precious time.

I have never been in agreement with the kyc , there are many incidents with the people who do it , and sometimes they are robbed in their own house thanks to the fact that their data was leaked, and thus they have managed to carry out large thefts in bitcoin, in this aspect the things when they try to do kyc the players are more jealous, they don't like it, they disagree, I have done KYC in the preferred casino, only in duelbits because otherwise I have not done kyc in n'pasm but for that reason It's that I always use the casino, so when they ask me for a kyc I don't play Again it makes me angry because sometimes I make a deposit and win , sometimes it is invetiblte to comply with a kyc to be able to Withdraw Money.

There are still people that like betting on a KYC casinos and they have no problem with that because they feel they are safe with the type of games they play in the casino. It is very important for us to ask questions so that we can know if what we are doing is right or wrong. Gamblers that think they are okay with the way they bet and the reward they get might think that is the highest level one can reach. We see others results, that can convince us to improve on the way we gamble to earn more from the efforts we put in gambling.

Nomatter how you look at this, user data has never been handled securely as third parties always have access to it and the fact that this can be sold for the right price should tell you the level of misuse thats out there... And sadly our crypto sportsbooks and casino's have gone this route when we all thought the coming of crypto anonymous gambling  was about to be come a reality but unfortunately  didn't happen. 

Btw if  we ask the question of why we have KYC, some of the reasons why KYC is still being used in this day and age ranges from anti money laundering requirements as regulators require , a way to stop bonus abuse and sometimes used by bad companies  to deny payouts...

Will KYC be a thing of the past any time soon, I highly  doubt  it.
Yes, private data can never be 100% secure by the third party and I believe its because nothing is ever safe on the internet but ever since the abusive use of the gambling site started by some cryptocurrency gamblers which lead to the attention of some gambling Master License holder, game provider, and government introducing the KYC into the gambling space KYC is here to stay.
KYC is only introduced to stop abusive and underage gamblers but there's no way we won't see some casinos that will also abuse the KYC implementation.
