You know what's the problem with that? The fact is that, bitsler could have faced with a "must" situation if they are asking for it, and that could be true, maybe providers wanted it, maybe something else, maybe government personally sent them a mail, doesn't matter why but they may end up being forced to ask for it.

However that doesn't matter to gamblers like me, I do not care what happened to them, I do not care what's the reason for it, the fact is that they are asking for it and there are other places not asking for it, that's good enough reason to not play here and gamble somewhere else. That's the problem bitsler facing right now, no matter how reasonable their reason could be, it's still fact that they are asking for it and other places are not asking for it, and that makes things complicated for them.

So for players who is okay in doing KYC with Bitsler: aside from the hassle, and having to trust bitsler with some personal information, it would be an advantage if you would like to be sure that the games you played are legal for you, thus you wont be a victim of casinos not giving wins especially "BIG WINS" to players just because they can argue about the legality of playing a certain game.

-So imagine you win 100 BTC on a game by 3rd-Party provider, and you find that your winnings are forfeited because you shouldn't be playing that game in the first place.
-For me that would be a real disappointment.
-Better be safe than sorry.

This is a guess!

Some third-party providers, depending on where they are situated, and the constitution in which they are bounded to comply, which might include having to strictly know who uses their service. (Example: The place where that 3rd party provider is situated have some government policy that will not allow services to be offered to "select-locations", because of whatever special condition yada yada yada.)

It may look like a hassle and disadvantage but as much as we would like to be out of the grip of govts, for us to do what we want, when we want and how we want.

In fact there are still many crypto casinos that provides the same 3rd party providers but they do not ask their players for KYC just to play the games. Of course there must be a valid reason why Bitsler decide to make KYC is mandatory for their players in order to play those 3rd party games but I can say that it can be a disadvantage because there are still many crypto players who wants to play anonymously.

As for the KYC part many members are commenting on, this probably is a legal requirement from the providers. Most of the brands I'm seeing like Betsoft and Evolution hold multiple licenses (MGA, UKGC, etc.) that demand they verify players. These are all measures to prevent money laundering and underage gambling they must comply with. So, I'm guessing it wasn't Bitsler's choice.

Bitsler Flash Roulette Provably Fair Seeding Event
We will soon release our new game Flash Roulette! To make this game provably fair, we announce our methods here. A chain of 1 million SHA512 hashes was generated (starting with a server secret.) The final hash is:

4c28a546da313d86a9ca42c59e833c179275ae0397893e92685ff414a17fe1ee963623a18c67317 1e0ee77204252c8fa0b7f629630861f53ea7b94a13f205e9b

Bitsler will go through the hashes (in reverse order) and use each hash to determine the roulette result. So the hash of our first game's hash is the same as our published final hash. To ensure we didn't pick a hash chain that has some advantage for us, we will use a future bitcoin block hash as "client seed" to generate the final roulette results. We will use the block hash of bitcoin block https://btc.com/block/668720 (around 8 AM GMT at Feb 2, 2020.)

The code to generate each roulette result is:

$hash = hash_hmac('sha512', $gameHash, $blockHash);
$config_multipliers = 
[ 
    [ 
        "150" => 3, 
        "100" => 8, 
        "50" => 5 
    ], 
    [ 
        "350" => 1, 
        "250" => 1, 
        "200" => 1, 
        "150" => 1, 
        "100" => 2, 
        "50" => 2, 
        "29" => 8 
    ], 
    [ 
        "350" => 1, 
        "250" => 1, 
        "200" => 1, 
        "150" => 1, 
        "100" => 2, 
        "50" => 2, 
        "29" => 8 
    ], 
    [ 
        "350" => 1, 
        "250" => 1, 
        "200" => 1, 
        "150" => 1, 
        "100" => 2, 
        "50" => 2, 
        "29" => 8 
    ] 
];    $offset = 0; 
do { 
    $number = substr($hash, $offset, 5); 
    $number = hexdec($number); 
    $offset += 5; 
} while ($number > 999999); 
$number = $number % 37;    $multipliers = []; 
for ($i = 0; $i < count($config_multipliers); $i++) { 
    do { 
        $multiNumber = substr($hash, $offset, 5); 
        $multiNumber = hexdec(($multiNumber)); 
        $offset += 5; 
    } while ($multiNumber > 999999 || isset($multipliers[$multiNumber % 37])); 
    $multiNumber = $multiNumber % 37; 
    // multiplier 
    $amount_number = hexdec(substr($hash, $offset, 1)); 
    $offset += 1; 
    // Loop multipliers 
    $multiplier_number = 0; 
    foreach ($config_multipliers[$i] as $multiplier => $range) { 
        $multiplier_number += $range; 
        // If the end of range is more than generated number, we use current multiplier 
        if ($multiplier_number > $amount_number) { 
            $multiplier = floatval($multiplier); 
            break; 
        } 
    }        // return 
    $multipliers[$multiNumber] = $multiplier; 
}   
print_r(["result" => $number, "multipliers" => $multipliers]);

This blog post will be shared on our social media channels and archived by several archive websites. Therefor we cannot edit the final hash (and therefor hash chain) nor the future bitcoin block number anymore. This makes our new game Flash Roulette completely provably fair.

5 Stages to complete KYC.

At first, it looks like a pain-in-the-*ss, but after convincing myself to finish these 5 stages, it was very easy and the verification team approved the docs I submitted really fast. Same day verification, it took about 2-3 hours, compared to other platforms where KYC takes a day or two or even longer..

One thing that I find, not very happy about is Bitsler do not offer something like a boost on reward or something for completing the KYC process. Most of the other platforms that implements KYC(optional), would offer some kind of "upgraded" boost. For example: Stake.com, offers double the amount of telegram challenge rewards for verified users.

I feel this would have deserved some sort of news post.

No other popular providers such as Play'n Go, No Limit, Pragmatic, PushGaming, Relax?

I also notice that they are no longer active here in the forum

Honestly KYC is no longer a shocking thing in world of crypto and we should not be really caring about it. I actually have a "kyc folder" in my computer, I have all sorts of documents and their pictures and me holding stuff all the time and even with that I need to take new pictures with ID all the time but aside from that I really do not care about KYC anymore, we should be beyond this.

I get that there are a lot of people who still want to stay as anon as possible and who would love to not share any information with anyone but crypto world runs via KYC and that's it, there is no other path to full crypto experience. This is why I do not care about it anymore. However I agree about the announcement thing, they were active here back in the day but they have decided not to care about here anymore I suppose, when you have such a huge update, you do announce it here, hell some places even do signature campaigns just on the new updates, so it is weird that they decided not to.

There is a good reason why mixers, blenders, and true privacy coins are still on demand.

Crypto world doesn't run via KYC and it's not necessary for full crypto experience. You just convinced yourself that that's the case. I am pretty sure online casinos like Bitsler knew the importance of not imposing identity verification right off the bat.

Perhaps you never really cared as long as you earn money in the first place.

It is very unfortunate if KYC is mandatory for players in order to play that 3rd party games while many other sites let players play the same games without KYC.

Thanks. I just figured my seeds changed but I can't remember doing so. and by the way for those who did not want to change their Client Seeds but had to, I was just informed that they would ask you to change your Client Seed after 90 Days.

Very surprised that there is no mention even here on bitcointalk about Bitsler`s most recent platform update (besides no announcement on their blog).

Why am I surprised? Well - quite a big update was rolled out with Bitsler now offering 3rd party games (slots & game shows) on their platform. I feel this would have deserved some sort of news post.

Anyway: If you guys didn`t know, you can now also play slots and game showers by numerous 3rd party providers, including Wazdan, Spinomenal, Mrslotty, Thunderkick, Gameart, Felixgaming, Augustgaming, Bgaming, Bsg, Mancala, Merkur, Quickspin, Fugaso, Platipus, Blueprint. Evolution gaming for live games etc.

Please note: In case you would like to play any of these 3rd party games, you will have to complete a 2-step KYC - if you don`t, you will have to stick with their in-house games. The decision to request KYC before being able to play any of these new games... well, surprising?! I don`t know why they are going that route, looking at the list of their new providers, it may have to do with just that? It`s a pretty strange collection of providers IMO, including Merkur (German provider) who left the online market a while ago as far I knew.

Any of you find difficulty accessing the bitsler gambling site. I've been trying for a long and wasn't able to get into the page. It takes lot of time to load the page. I've tried with different browsers and experiencing the same with every browser. Finally it has shown host error.

Everything is working good guys. Now myself too experienced good speed in loading the page than the past. I have played dice for some time period. Everything is doing good. When I logged in, it suggested to change the seed. Myself changed the seed and played Dice.
