Topic: Poker casino but need KYC, is this really necessary? - page 6. (Read 1723 times)

There is a big difference between KYC in any EU located casino or some noname casino in offshore which forcing you to pass KYC. In first case maybe even I would pass KYC, because at least i'm protected by EU laws. And in second - no one can guarantee you anything. So avoid offshore casinos which trying to trick you with KYC. They don't have any rights for this.

The thing is; this is going to get harder, and harder as time goes on. Its a law enforced by the government for the casinos to legally operate in much of the cases that its implemented, and as that law becomes more strict, and more countries adopt KYC the harder it'll be to actually avoid giving up your privacy.

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  

Yes, you are right - with the strictest regulation, there will be underground sites providing various services without KYC, including gambling.
If we talk about the dangers, I do not like that now the governments are trying to take control of the entire crypto. This is much more dangerous than regulation in certain areas.

Even if that can happen, I am a bit worried if the government still wants to interfere and force the casino or online gambling sites to follow what they want to apply KYC for their members. If the casino follows the government's asks, they will apply for KYC, but if it's not, the members will have their time playing gambling without doing KYC. But still, I am sure that there will be an online gambling site far away from that government and never ask for the KYC from their members.

I think it's necessary, I mean what could go wrong with that and poker websites just want to make sure that they comply with the laws, gambling can be an avenue for money laundering so I don't really mind having a KYC.

Now, to play poker without a casino, people have to meet offline and do it. If Ethereum develops as planned, then the players will have the opportunity to do it online and no intermediary in the form of a casino will be needed and there will be no need for a KYC. I am very much looking forward to when this happens to see the reaction of the governments.

I believe that will happen in the future, especially when everything is set up and the casino is ready to launch a new service or a new casino that will offer a new experience to the gamblers. Ethereum will grow more than now because I think the project will still work hard to make sure that they still have more investors interested in that project. The government can not interfere with that but they can watch how the process runs.

I hope the development of cryptocurrencies (in this case, Ethereum 2) will allow the creation of really fast and cheap decentralized casinos in the future. In this case, the governments of the countries simply cannot do anything as now they cannot do anything with bitcoin.

Oh well yeah, the government will always have an excuse. If something does not look like what they want, they can easily eliminate and make a new one. We already knew that and it was happening a long time ago. As long as there is a gambling site that does not require KYC, we can still play gambling without sending anything to them. I am sure the casino will be aware of the regulation and how they can still operate without the government interfering. We as a gambler also have an option to select where we want to gamble.

Before I play in any online casino I always make sure I will not be asked for KYC or personal information. If I know that a casino will be asking me to undergo KYC verification I will reject it immediately. No online casino is so special to me that I will undergo KYC for its sake.

Governments will always have excuse, the gambling industry will not have option than to obey the government, government will say kyc is a means of regulation against money laundering and against terrorism and other criminals. But I have option because the crypto gambling sites that do not make verification necessary are many, I can still go for one of them rather than getting verified.

i know right ?! the idea of KYC on crypto casinos and also exchanges is messed up and kind of defeat the purpose of crypto, it was meant to be anonymous, a daily limit is a good option though, but making KYC a must is just stupid.

The majority of these poker casinos and gambling sites do not ask for KYC because they know that many gamblers do not want to go through a KYC, they only ask it if the player has an issue on his account and wants to verify, if you have a new pokers site and ask KYC right away, that is something to be concern about, they should ask only when there's an issue and it should not a policy.
