1) If a player wins big, will the casino ask for KYC ?
Ans: Since Kryptogamers is primarily a non-custodial casino on Hive blockchain (HIVE offers free and instant transactions), all player's non-custodial winnings are transferred instantly and free of cost to the player's Hive wallet without requiring any kind of KYC whatsoever. It is not possible for us to ever ask for KYC for the non-custodial section because we are not in control of your Hive blockchain account and therefore cannot suspend or do anything about it.
2) Why is proof of age required if casino does not require KYC ?
Ans: Apart from the non-custodial section, we also have a custodial section of games for custodial wallet players who prefer better user experience and instant gameplays as each non-custodial game-result takes approx 3 seconds (which is Hive block time) while custodial game results are instant (<1 second). However, if you are playing custodial games, the proof-of-age and other documents maybe required only if the law enforcement requests come in for your specific account. Uptill now (4+ years), we have received only 1 request to suspend a custodial Hive account and that person had 0 balance in his wallet. Having said that, we are a privacy friendly casino since 4+ years and have never asked for KYC nor do we intend to ask for KYC unless absolutely required by law.
Hope this answers your major questions. Feel free to ask if you have any more questions.
I also wanted to ask why you guys can't make this announcement thread a little bit more attractive with graphics, or is it not your official announcement thread?
It should have been made formally with the right format as other ANN threads unless it isn't their offcial announcement thread yet.
Anyway, KYCs should also be expected because even casinos that announce that they won't require it will still ask for proof of address or age so the purpose would almost be the same so we can't avoid KYCs that easily. I guess we should just accept the fact that KYC is almost mandatory nowadays.
