Like or not.

KYC will be needed, however don't mind to share my "ID" as long the reason is valid. But, most the time because we're winning to much they're using this scheme for holding our money. KYC is also to identified you're 18+ enough for playing in casino.

So yeah, you like it or not still need to do "KYC" as long the reason is valid.

Aside from what the others have said, the process of creating an account is much faster and there are gamblers that prefer quick account creations so they could play and place their bets immediately. It's also because there's barely much difference when it comes to the gambling experience as you'll find non KYC casinos offer several games from third party providers. The usual downsides of casinos without KYC are the bonuses and other rewards which doesn't mean much compared to the value of your personal information.
Yes, in my case that is why I avoid KYC casinos. It takes time to take pictures of your documents, and then a selfie to send the casino. And even after doing this you must still wait few days until receiving a reply, with some chances of having your informations denied, so you have to do the whole process once again.
It really doesn't make sense to have to do this, since you can simply find an alternative crypto casino to play instead where you deposit, play and withdraw instantly.

Not just in gambling, but I think it's a good idea to avoid KYC whenever possible.  This is because you can't always trust the entity you're providing your info to keep it safe.  Just yesterday OpenSea had a leak of data and compromised the email addresses of their users.  Credit card companies are often hacked and lose your data, which can include social security and credit card numbers.  Sure, sometimes you have to provide KYC, but if you don't have to, avoiding it is probably the safest thing you can do.  Earlier this month I had my credit card information stolen from a vendor (I use virtual credit card numbers so I know who gave out my info) and there's really no recourse except to go through the steps to get your money back.  Even the thieves know if they spend less than $500 per transaction then the cops won't even follow up.

It's been observed that gamblers prefer to play on casino which do not enforce KYC. Well, let's discuss what are the main reasons that they do not want to show their identity and gamble anonymously.

They don't trust the casino as the casino might misuse the kyc documents or the gamblers want to gamble without telling anyone that they are the gamblers,  gambling is illegal in their region or religion and they want to hide their identity or there could be any other solid reason?
I will not now consider kyc from the position of unreliable storage, theft or sale of information obtained during this procedure. Although this is a very painful and important topic regarding kyc, but I will leave it for now for discussion by the rest of this forum members.

For me personally, it has always been too lazy to go through the kyc procedure, upload documents and confirm that I am me. If I came to gamble, then there is no need for the casino to create extra steps to achieve my goal. The faster and easier I could start playing, the more I liked a particular casino. This is where the "shut up delete kyc and take my money" meme fits in perfectly. The fewer actions (mouse clicks) required to start the game, the better.

That's why I avoid fiat based online casinos that require KYC requirements, we agree for classic reasons. (privacy) not all online gambling sites can be trusted, even very possible and potentially misuse of documents for the benefit and benefit of irresponsible parties. Even most of us don't know if gambling is licensed and provides full consumer protection rights as a guarantee from KYC, I don't think so.
maybe the whole community here is not willing to do KYC.

It's only for crypto-based gambling casinos as fiat casinos already have that mandatory requirement for a long period of time.

Simply, why people don't prefer KYC is because we are in the crypto-world where supposedly we can gamble anonymously and privately. These characteristics are some of the best reasons why others shift or consider playing at crypto-based gambling casinos.

Personally, for me, I don't mind undergoing a KYC but as much as possible, crypto-gambling sites shouldn't have that requirement.

Someday centralization will hit crypto casinos too so be ready for that requirement.

The main reasons are privacy and security. People dont like sending their documents to other sites that can always takes advantage of your documents. Also some people dont like sending documents because some countries can find out about their wins and tax their winnings

so long as there as are casino's that offer their services  without KYC verification, gamblers will always flock towards those because there is a high level of mistrust amongst gamblers for casino's that ask for KYC . People are very uncertain what these casino's what to do with their data and cannot trust them enough with the safety of your private information especially since their motives are uncertain.

The intention is to just gamble, not to introduce yourself to casino before you can use their services, this is suspicious...and as long as there are options that bypasses kYC, people will choose it.

It's because:

1. It is not really necessary until you hit a jackpot.
2. Lots of instances wherein services and platforms sell personal information on black markets.
3. Doesn't really affect your profile on platforms you submit KYC to.

I could think a lot of reasons why lots of gamblers don't really want to submit their info to these platforms, but these are just some off the top of my head. I mean, we're in a cryptocurrency industry. Most of the things here are pseudoanonymous. Platforms can track if one person creates lots of accounts to cheat the system through several methods and not only relying on submitted KYC. I just don't get it.

Surely most of the reasons are privacy issues, especially if the KYC that has to be done must uploading documents containing important personal data but unfortunately this is not very well understood. Now that there are so many online casinos and we can choose which ones do not require KYC. Meanwhile, the desire for activities not to be known by the closest people can be easily tricked by playing in secret.

Honestly, I'm not sure about gambling sites that prioritize the KYC system registration / provide real identity, if the gambling site insists on having to do kyc, I choose to withdraw, despite the huge and promising bonus offer, even with the first $$$$ deposit.

For me personally, the article below will help me to be more careful in giving out my personal identity, especially gambling sites.

How KYC/AML poses a serious threat to your privacy and should not be used at all.
Be careful with your KYC documents.
The Unseen Danger of KYC.

Conclusion: why do I have to give my ID/kyc, for certain gambling sites, in the end they also cheat their customers, Many gambling sites do not require KYC, but they are responsible and honest for their users.

There are lots of reasons why most gamblers don't like complying with the KYC. Some people see it as a hassle, others don't have the documents needed to pass the KYC while others are being careful with their details for the fear of document breach or identity theft. However, KYC is beneficial for us as well as the site because we could get the protection and security that we want by submitting it. We might have our personal reasons but I hope that we could also see its importance.

There are many personal reasons why gamblers are not really comfortable submitting KYC when they are playing, most of them

are discreetly participating in this kind of activities and not willing to reveal their identities, while for some, they are not willing to engage

to any possible hassle, especially in term of securities. Whatever reason behind KYC mostly being implemented and if you are really into

this kind of activities and you are using a decent amount of money, you'll be forced to submit this information.

one solid reason is your identity is being at risk of being stolen, sold or used. a lot of people are cautious about it especially when there have been cases where important info about users' Identities being leaked. people just do not want to risk their identity being used in something that they know nothing of.

I don't see any other reason why gamblers avoid KYC other than the things you've mentioned. I know that all of us are afraid that someone might use our identity for illegal activities so I think that's the main reason why we always hesitate  in complying with the KYC rule. Being afraid that someone like your relative or religion know that you're gambling isn't that scary for me, if it's illegal in your country then use vpn. There are some gambling casino that allows the use of vpn. While if someone used your identity, you could go to prison for many years or pay huge fines even though you did not do it.

Most no one likes KYC verification as a condition for one to gamble, and if there was and was needed, the site would definitely be abandoned by players.
Because I believe that the identity of someone who plays gambling certainly does not want to be known by others, especially if it is misused. And I have never met the requirement that a person who gambles must submit his/her identity as a condition for gambling, in cyberspace or in real life.

Gambling is restricted in some countries and the person may ptefer to gamble on a no KYC casino. Gambling is not restricted in my country and I am not bothered and I do not avoid KYC on trustworthy casinos. KYC also even make me feel secure about my money on a casino than not having any documents to prove that I am the owner of the gambling account.

But some gamblers can be afraid of their KYC documents not to be sold to third party which is a valid reason.

It's not only limited due to their religion or region, have you ever heard when someone send their personal identity to random sites and then after few years later, there's a debt collector ask to pay off your loan while you never ask a loan to anyone. This mean your personal identity have been used to borrow money by those people.
That's what we worry about so we are afraid of being misused for things like that or other bad things so I avoid any KYC from the casino, just imagine in every casino KYC applies while we play on many sites means we have to submit documents to all sites that play at there then it's not possible and I'm sure the casinos are now providing convenience without KYC.
Basically my documents don't want to be misused, so this will be a concern for many people, well I know many crypto casinos now without KYC that's what we are happy about now.

I think gamblers avoid KYC because they don't gamble on just one site, and showing their documents on all casino sites is very stupid, because most of these sites can't be trusted. This doesn't just apply to casinos. Leaving your documents unnecessarily on the internet is a bad habit. One day it may happen that you are blacklisted because someone else has used your documents.
