Topic: Poker casino but need KYC, is this really necessary? - page 10. (Read 1742 times)

the big problem with doing KYC in casinos is the following:

1 - No one knows who the casino owners are

2 - no one knows the casino's headquarters. I speak of physical office

3 - no one knows where the casino keeps people's documents

4 - there is no government entity that can help you in case you complain about the casino being demanding in terms of KYC

How can someone feel safe doing KYC in a casino where the person doesn't know the casino owners? how can it be fair for someone to hand over documents to an internet stranger?

this is unfair

It's necessary if it's part of the TOS, once you sign up with the site, you also comply with the terms. However, I believe there are still a lot of reputable poker gambling sites that you can play with, just try to look if you are bothered with submitting your KYC information.

As for me, I'd rather choose to gamble anonymously as that's the main purpose why we are using crypto casinos.

I don't like and I don't do KYC.
I don't remember the last time I made a withdrawal from gambling, either because I'm a bad gambler or because I always spend my winnings on new games.
I play for fun, not for profit, so I dont see a reason to submit my data to a site.

In my opinion, no site needs to get KYC to allow players to bet, they have the right to require KYC to withdraw large amounts, but this needs to be made very clear to the player in advance, and preferably this is shown on the screen of deposits too so that players aren't caught by surprise later.

All the time unless it is a crypto poker site like swc then I dont think it is necessary for them to ask for KYC. There is nothing wrong with KYC to be honest, most people that have an account in crypto gambling also have account in crypto exchange. If you trust those crypto exchanges with your identity then I dont see why you are hesitating on submitting one for a gambling site

Its pretty much the same for both because there is no guarantee that your identity is safe with them.


This sounds like ggpoker to me.

I play regularly in ggpoker and I submitted my KYC. The KYC stuff is pretty much standard practice for most poker site right now

It is necessary if the casinos are in any of the regulated jurisdictions and if they ever want to transact with fiat money. From what I know, on the user side, if you wish to get an excellent comparison among the several crypto casinos just reach

and in the casino reviews you will see what kind of KYC they implement.
Then the choice is up to you.

No offense but I don’t think you know what you’re talking about.  Of all the types of sites offering games that involves money, poker sites should be the most enforced sites to KYC.  There’s a thing called ‘chip dumping’.

Go look up what chip dumping is and I’m sure you’ll get why.

Nice comment! I try to avoid KYC whenever it's possible, but if it's something legit and I wish to be part of something, I will do KYC, it's not a big deal! At least for us "ordinary guys", without any illegal intentions!
Websites are enforcing KYC more and more, it's what we get with regulations! If you wish to see a casino (or any other service) with some licence, that licence can mean "KYC mandatory" for all users!

I still play poker at SwC, and they don't ask for KYC! It's far from perfect, it's far from fiat poker places, but I like it... and I think we need some good only-crypto poker place! CoinPoker started something, and I was active there in their beggings, for some reason I stopped playing there, so I am not sure where they are now, and what's happening with this place.

Of course , there are tons of gambling sites that does not require KYC in poker so why need to spend time on this one. and besides there are more reputable in poker area that has been running here in community for long and they never asked for kyc eversince.
lets choose the site in which we are comfortable and not in sites that will give us issue or problem.
i have once experience for KYC but that is when i have problem in my account and need to be recovered so i complied with the teams request and  make my claim possible .

I see your point but some of us, use cryptocurrencies because of other reasons.

Some of them "have to make sure" to not send or receive anything from certain nationalities and even for those that are residing in certain countries.

Since it's a gambling platform, I'd say it's not worth it ^{[money wouldn't be the only thing you'd be gambling, if you go through that KYC process]}.

I would not ^{[there has to be an ulterior motive with such a significant move]}.

I rather will look at another casino and not to go for KYC. Know your customer is not ideal for cryptocurrency that is suppose to be discreet in our transaction. A casino don't need kyc to function or for withdrawal, they can only restrict withdrawal, make a daily limit for it.

I've been with some poker sites but most that I've been with doesn't require KYC like requesting for an identity card or a national card, most of them just want like email verification and nothing much even on the withdrawal process. Might be the reason if they are on the country with a tighter regulation in regards to gambling.I don't think you're promoting them if what you said was all true but I guess most will understand the situation or personal decision.

I prefer websites with mild KYC policies (those that ask for KYC when there's something suspicious going on or big sums involved), but it's a personal preference thing. Over the years, it seems that more and more websites start enforcing KYC, at least sometimes. KYC is usually outsourced to companies that specialize in it specifically, and unless you become a wanted criminal and the law enforcement asks them for your data, I don't think anyone cares or will use it. There's also a risk of getting identity stolen due to hacks or something like this, but I think it's pretty rare if a company's legit. I don't like KYC, but I'm not 100% against it if a legit company's doing it.

Crypto casinos usually do not require KYC. However,  exceptions are there! Try to check their FAQ and T&C page and see if there is a mention of KYC requirement. If yes, then you will need to be KYC compliant in order to withdraw funds to your wallet.

Secondly, if you don't find any such mention of KYC in their FAQ or T&C, then you can possibly fight it. But some casinos may ask for KYC documents if your winning is huge to ensure they themselves are compliant with the money laundering law.

So it's situational sometimes! Reputed casinos who always try to stand on the right side if the legal system, will require KYC. But that ahould be duly mentioned. The choice is yours whether you want to use their platform or not.

You did not name the gambling site I hope you will name it, you're not promoting the site it's for awareness purposes so we'll know if we are already playing on this site or planning to register and play, doing KYC in a gambling site depends on the player's preference if the site is new and there are offers that are good to be true I don't think it's worth doing KYC, you'll regret later because there's no free money in a gambling site, there's always a catch.
If the gambling site is reputable and had a good report and they are asking KYC for compliance I don't see any issue doing KYC, you are not selling your identity, trusted gambling sites always ask KYC as a rule when giving bonuses or verifying cashout.

It's less on the crypto side and more on the gambling side that crypto requires users to do KYC no? I actually don't think that KYC is much of a problem, especially if it isn't really the casinos fault that they have to enforce such rules. I can simply use one wallet that, well, pretty open that says I am its owner, then have another wallet for those miscellaneous payments that I want to stay anonymous. Well, originally, my purpose of using crypto was for it to be my own personal bank, being anonymous is pretty much an added benefit but I can live without it either way.

Back to gambling and crypto, it's entirely up to you whether you want it or not tbh, the casino isn't exactly forcing you, but don't expect to actually play on it. I reckon there are other casinos out there that don't require KYC, but as @YOSHIE said, they may ask for it later on in the game, which is kind of worse imo than asking it from the very start.

The situation seems subjective since it's hard to judge a gambling site that you've played for a day but at the same time I guess it depends on how you view the poker site. I might've said this before though no matter how trusted the site is there's always a possibility for your information to get leaked but I don't think there's anything wrong with KYC knowing that the site is the best of the best out there. As much as possible you should look for alternatives but if you're really think it's worth it in your own view and understand the risks then i'd say go for it.

There are so many online gambling sites that offer poker games, almost every gambling site has poker games, in terms of KYC or not KYC.
• Some gambling sites at the beginning of registration are required to do KYC.
• and some other gambling sites do not require kyc, only email password is complete.
Both factors gambling sites require kyc or don't require kyc, free to choose games poker, slots, roulette, mines, baccarat, blackjack, craps and many others.

Every win you get in the game does not require kyc, because you already have a single account for the deposit and withdrawal process, from the start of registration.

So, I just heard that certain sites that win poker games have to go through KYC, personal data (identity), this is worth asking what KYC is for....while at the beginning of the registration process, the requirements have been passed, Supposedly when you win poker, you are free in all dealings/withdrawals, without KYC.

Hello guys,
Surely everyone here has played Poker at least once, or heard about it, right? Poker is not a strange game, and it is available in all famous casinos in this space, at least the ones that I know. But, have you ever been asked for KYC to be able to play and withdraw in Poker? Rarely do I see a casino asking for that, until today I have access to a new platform where we play Poker PvP on a download app.

Speaking of KYC, I'm sure most people here don't want their identities revealed anywhere, and KYC is something really bad that we always want to avoid, even when A highly regarded project. No way we can use crypto to stay anonymous and then do KYC so they know exactly who we are, where we are, what we do, right?

And that's what I'm talking about here, a crypto casino but requires their users KYC to be able to withdraw funds from the platform to their wallets. It really makes no sense, even with small transactions of only a few dozen, a few hundred dollars. Yesterday, I was introduced to a new gambling platform by a friend, namely that I can play Poker there directly with other people through their app. Yesterday, I was introduced to a new gambling platform by a friend, namely that I can play Poker there directly with other people through their app. Since this is my first time gambling with a downloadable app, I am quite interested and want to experiment with it. After doing my registration as well as linking my wallet, I consider withdrawing, and luckily when I review it, they need KYC.

What do you think about this issue? Do you want to do KYC just for gambling on any platform?
Also added that they are giving new users registered through their referral link some money, and they also require KYC to receive it. I heard that this amount is up to 200$, if you are, would you like to sell your identity to get this money?

I won't post information about that platform, because I don't want to be told that I'm promoting them
