Totally depends on you whether you do comply the KYC or not but actually it's really that not bad on getting some bonus for such verification on which to assume that you have done KYC level 1 and you've been that playing on the site for too long,then you will definitely having that kind of trust.
I do agree on what you have said that regulations do changes overtime on which there's really that tendency or chance that you will be needing to have that KYC level 2 or other verification process.
That’s something OP should know..he might just waste the bonus if he keeps playing without KYC, only to find out later that it’s required at every level. A lot of regulated casinos have already been penalized for not following the rules, so to avoid that, they’ve got to stay compliant. Compliance is key for them to keep things smooth.
It wasn't that way for a long time with Stake though. With just a minimum amount to spend in the casino, they weren't requiring KYC docs. I'm not sure if users will really lose access to their account if they are not submitting docs but it will be not be good to lose access.
The offer seems different to each user, the offer to me in an email I believe was $10 only. Maybe because I wasn't a big spender but I would like to gamble whether I'd lose my account or not. I will find out in time.
The deadline like I learnt is January next year being 2025, that is, if you received an offer from stake to complete kyc and get the bonus, and you did not adhere to it, there is every possibility that by January next year, you either will have to complete the kyc (this time without the bonus anymore) or withdraw the funds you have in your account and your account will be parmanently closed.
I have not verified this information from official source, but some of my friends who are users of stake and also received an offer and contacted stake customer care about it said this is what the customer care told them.
And regarding the value of the kyc bonus offer stake offered to those they sent an email to, the value is actually different, but the highest amount is $250, the value you get depends on how much you have spent on the casino and how active you have been playing.
There's still enough time for them to decide whether they will really be complying with those KYC or not on which basing up into someones choice whether they could be able to hold it up or not
in terms of someones preference on which we know that not all will really be that confident on making up some even more verification. If this one is accompanied with some bonuses then
this might really be not a huge concern for a certain individual but if this one talks about privacy then other players will really be that might be having some issues with that.
Its true that this isnt really he right place to be asked about such manner but it will really be that ideal that this should really be asked with some costumer support in regarding about
concern and other questions because this forum isnt something that could give out the best possible answer in relation into some concern specially on a specific gambling site.
There are those people who are really that might be able to give out some information on which it might not be true or simply misleading.
Its important that you do know at least on what are those terms and conditions plus the tendency or chance for those changes overtime.
