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
About 5 years ago it used to be much more free and open when it came to playing online poker - as long as you had access to a credit/debit card they were willing to take your money (presumably using that to validate you were old enough). However I have definitely noticed that all the old places that I used to play now require you to send quite extensive documentation - personal ID scans, bank statement scans, utility bills, etc. in order to verify. They must be afraid of government crackdowns and take the most extreme measures to stay within money laundering regulations. It's quite disappointing in a way because I don't really trust these places to store such documentation safely and securely, nor to dispose of it after they've finished checking them.
