Only playing on gambling sites that have a good reputation is highly recommended, especially with the rampant activity of buying and selling personal data that continues to this day. and also don't easily believe in bonuses provided by a new gambling site, many of them only use it as a trick to entice users to make more deposits on their gambling site.

Withdrawal can depend on the casino as some processed it manually but if it was done automatically, I still think that some fiat payment methods and offline casinos are instant because transactions won't go in the blockchain anymore. Complaining is normal and fine if you don't like the services being offered. You have the rights to do it because you are a customer and you are paying the casino.

KYC verification has nothing to do with Social Media or the data's inside it. It was only ordered by the government on compliance to the Anti-money Laundering Law. It may not be mandatory depending on the amount involved or it it's only a small one but one must prepare as they can accidentally win big amounts.

We all know that many people don't like the KYC system in big casinos, so the casinos that have just arrived on this forum see the gap in market interest by offering KYC free, but that doesn't mean KYC free and in the end they will also be asked because of course There will also be pressure on casinos in the future, for example the government and others will eventually ask for KYC on all their users.

Moreover, there is no compulsion in gambling on anyone, it is clear that casinos only offer a lot of gambling games to users, if you feel bothered by KYC, you should not gamble at online casinos, it is better to just gamble at offline or physical casinos, maybe it will be better for them, let alone casinos even nowadays exchange Many people also ask for KYC to verify to avoid money laundering and so on, everyone returns to their own thoughts, there will be no end to discussing KYC in this forum. lol

I can see that OP is trying to hard to stay safe when using any online casino but the truth is so many online casinos have different payment options by default, the moment you open an account on the casino you already have the payment options available to you.

You also said that an email address is all you need to log into your online casino, hope you've considered that email can be hijacked too, so it's better to add an extra security layer for your account like 2FA or verification code.

Also you need to understand that every online casinos out there are all centralized, this shows that they can decide to ask you for KYC verification one day if you want to get your funds out of the casino, failure to do this is goodbye to your money, until you are ready to pass the verification.

Never ever trust any online casino when they don't ask for your KYC information, they have the ability to ask for it, but now might not be the right time yet, and this doesn't mean they won't ask you one day

Every gambler definitely wants to try a new gambling site because there is a separate feeling of annoyance if playing gambling on the old site doesn't get a win, usually every gambler thinks that if you try a new gambling site you will get an advantage because it's the first time and usually these fraudulent sites tempt you to profit in The number is so large that many online gamblers are tempted to play it without thinking about whether it is a real or fake gambling site.
But it would be better if gamblers search the gambling site first to avoid fraud and personal data that can be hacked.

Exactly. By doing this we can avoid playing on shady platforms because we did a research on what casino has a good reputation and recommended by gamblers without much complaints (since no one is perfect but they're doing their best to resolved any issues, this is for legit casinos).

It's not really advisable to leave your money on a platform if you're not going to use it because it's not safe. That's why I only deposit a money on my gambling account to play and if ever I win, I immediately withdraw it.

Anyway, nowadays KYC is quite common for centralized casinos. Therefore, to be certain that your informations are secure on the platform where you will submit it. Choose a reputable casino where many gamblers are playing since it's trusted.

Scam can not be permanently eliminated but can be reduced to its minimal level. Scammed casino are increasing rapidly in numbers by the day and its our primary objective to abstained from these sights entirely. I've no business dealing with these sites, always depending on my desirable casino that favours me and accumulate significant profits. The best choice inother to avoid been victim of scams is actually sticking to the usual gambling casino. There's absolutely no better one out there other than the one that keeps 100% satisfactory outcomes.

The money we are getting from the casino will be faster in the online gambling as compared to the offline gambling.The reason is the gambler can start the complain on the particular game.In some gambling sites the kyc verification is not mandatory because the user data was easy available in all the social medi.The gambling site will check your data and social media data,if both matches the gambling site will help you to use gambling site without kyc.If your information was seems scam one,the gambling site will hold your account and ask to do kyc verification as compulsory one.The gamblers should obey the rules of gambling site and do their kyc.The kyc verification just need five minutes of time.

This is the solution to avoid being scammed because there are different casinos coming up and to jump into a new casino that has not been tested is not really encouraged. If you are playing on an old casino without no hitches and you withdraw with no complain, it is better to stick it out there rather than chasing bonus and other welcome packages like free spin which attract new players. But some bettors want to have a feel of some new ones, it is better while trying to deposit little money that may not matter to you even if you lose it. So reviewing a casino before signing up is the right part to take first.

It's very common one by the gamblers to have a try of new gambling site only because of the bonus.In many ways this was trap to attract the gamblers to their sites.To know the trustworthy of the gambling site,it's essential one by the gamblers to know of gambling site is real or fake.But some gambling site are created to scam the people,So the gamblers should take responsibility to check before start to using the gambling site.The better option to get escape from the gambling site scam,you can use the old website gambling site.

Sometimes the casino or the casino entities that often join online casinos and crypto they sometimes proclaim Something that many newbies believe, and that the KYC if they do it will already be protected and it is not like that, the simple KYC must be see it as a requirement of world Governments to make people lose their Anonymity and privacy , so they will know who is playing and who wants not, because the licenses are for that, it is for a control that is based on the legal, so anyone who says What do the KYC do just so that the person has security in their account, I can tell you that it is pure story, cheap and old, because it is not like that, the real reason is that, that is why there are so many players who do not They do not even play again in the casinos, because they do not want their data to be released there, to hackers, bankers, criminals, all kinds of people who can cause damage and robberies, including the most planned stays.

To fully trust that the casino is reliable is very easy , we have it here and it is the Forum, in the forum there is a list of the best casinos out there and that is an indication that things are good when there are many people who have played that they have done their good part giving it a reference in their reputation , so things on that side can be seen around, but we must not eat the story that thanks to KYC our Money is safe with them , because there are casinos that are having everything under the law, with their licenses, with their processes of all these things very well and they can still steal, become a scam and everything happens, that's why it is good that Whenever people and players who are new, stay in reliable casinos , there are many like stake.co, bitcasino,.io, rollbit,. duelbits, roobet, among others and have their Ann threads where the person can visit them, give their opinion, make a good Analysis of what they want to be and Enter , that is the advantage of this.

I think the number one thing is to simply do your homework on the casino and make sure they don’t have a bunch of complaints from users/members. If they’ve been around a long time and have a good reputation, obviously that’s your first big step.

Then, don’t leave much money in the exchanges. I never leave more than $2-300 dollars worth of bitcoin on any site. Being that it’s so easy to move bitcoin in and out, why take the risk.

We still can. And that is when we deposit on a scam casino. But it becomes worse if you also gave your KYC to them because they can smuggled it as well. There are still legit casinos which are KYC enabled. I have no problems on using them but some people who value their privacy the most, may completely avoid them.

One million dollars is a hell lot of money and I think many old and famous casinos can risk their reputation with it, especially if they are on their down times where their income is at their all time low. I already witnessed a couple of them who ended up like that. So don't say that they don't. Never put all your trust anywhere dude.

A lot of people join new casino and sportsbook platforms only for the bonuses they offer to new gamblers without realizing that it can actually be a trap. I don't say that all new platforms are untrustworthy, but it is always better to be cautious when joining a new platform, and as you said, if a platform asks for KYC verification that you recently joined and which isn't a very old platform, you should think twice or maybe more than that before you submit your personal information and documents.

This is the reason why it is better to simply stick with the old or trustworthy casino and sportsbook platforms so that you don't have to be worried about getting scammed or your personal details and documents being used for gaining money or maybe even in bad things which might cause you trouble.

Such a lengthy post and all you have written is that we should open an account in bitcoin/crypto only betting sites.
It's ridiculous. You didn't have to write it in such a lengthy manner because it degrades your credibility.

Coming to the point, I wouldn't say that bitcoin/crypto only betting sites are safer too because you never know when they get hacked.
You will eventually have to hold your coins on the site and that will itself make you prone to a scam.
As long as you don't hold the keys to your coins, you are not safe.

Crypto gambling platforms are more secure and fast in terms of transactions compared to regular casino platforms, but they also require KYC for higher withdrawals. It's quite rare nowadays that crypto gambling platforms don't require KYC for withdrawals, because they need it to be able to check the validation of the user. And there is also no guarantee that crypto gambling platforms will not sell their user data, even companies like Facebook and Google have sold data to third parties, so don't be too sure that crypto gambling platforms are more secure, but obviously it's much better compared to ordinary gambling platforms.

I would say BTCGosu and this forum are enough for staying safe in crypto gambling... I never had any serious issues with any casino that has an active ANN thread here on the forum. And besides that in the last +3 years of Gosu's existence, I will not register and play at any casino if it's not "Gosu approved". Simple as that...

We've been doing that as long as we use this forum. We also have a list of trusted casino sites we have used to gamble to avoid these fraudulent sites. Yes, we always read the reviews left by members here to avoid the scams that the new casino will bring and to ascertain whether the casino will be one of the sites we add to our list of casino sites. So reading reviews from many people, especially from members of this forum, is always recommended to avoid scam casinos and find the casino we seek.

The casino's reputation plays a big role here. Personally I don't take my chances with the newly established casinos or casinos with bad reputation. I always read the reviews before I send money to a casino and I don't remember me ever getting scammed till now. I do this when I am about to book an hotel too. I read the booking.com reviews before I book an hotel so I won't have bad experiences. We read books for this reason too, to make use of the other people's experiences. When I see a casino/casino rep's account painted red here, it rings so many alarm bells. A good example would be, 1xbit/1xbet.

While I do really prefer crypto-gambling sites over fiat online casinos, that statement of yours doesn't make sense.

We are talking about safety here and there are sh*t crypto-gambling sites too that can turn scams anytime with a surprise here in the crypto-gambling world. There's no 100% safe here. Related to KYC, how come it is now subject to identity theft when being asked about KYC lol?

Let's not put this too much technical. Stay on the reputable casino, regardless if it's crypto-gambling sites or fiat sites and somehow we can minimize being scammed. Don't believe too much that you are 100% safe if you just choose crypto-only gambling sites. It's even good for those scammers to show their true colors in a decentralized world where freedom is an advantage.
