Hey guys.
Choosing crypto in casinos has always also to do with more anonimous gambling.
Anyway I'm curious how important is anonimity to you when you pay & play?

For me the anonymity of online game is not really important. I don't mind if people know that I am a gambler, all of my friends and my whole family knows it for years already. Also gambling is legal and quite common in my country, in my city there are tons of small slot places and sports betting cafes. Every young man here as at least gambled once in his life. If I had to choose between anonymity and safety I would always go for safety in an online casino. I mainly prefer crypto casinos because it's easy to deposit and withdraw money, and it gives me a chance to increase my crypto holdings.

but i don't think all gamblers are willing to give KYC or anonymity like you say. because some countries do not legalize gambling including in my country which should not do gambling activities but i still do it.
but there are also some gamblers who always choose anonymity and security when getting their winnings they have to do KYC as a condition to be able to withdraw all their winnings and forcefully it must be done if they want all their money to be withdrawn.
i realize that KYC is very risky especially on online platforms that are vulnerable to hacking. but for me it's safe to give KYC on a reputable platform

Your last statement credited to your action in choosing what casino site is good in terms of securities providing your KYC is something that not end with withdrawing your money, but also the trust that you established from the house owners. Once you are ready to complete the KYC without any obligation or what I mean is even you don't win a huge amount of profits to cash out but you are willing to complete the process, that is something that gamblers do have a different opinion or take.

Like what mentioned, not all gamblers are willing to provide their personal info, though there are some who are capable gamblers who are open with their gambling activities, they are not concern with anonymity, as long as they are satisfying what they want and what they like there's no problem on it.

I don't like gambling in the open, for example a casino nearby where family friends may see me, but since online casino and gambling platforms are available worldwide its no more necessary to hide since you will do this on your PC or mobile, its now considered as a private way of gambling, KYC, on the other hand, is just for higher payment and withdrawal.

but with this behavior? you are only making your self prone from addiction because you are the only one who sees what you do In gambling , not like if there are others who can observe your activities , then advises may come for you to learn what comes good or bad, so better to choose what action to do and whom to follow.

KYC is risky to give to any site, even if given to a reputable site, that does not mean the so called reputable site will not sell it or give it out to another organization or people. The only person you can trust about KYC is yourself. If you submit it on any platform, that means there is more chances it can be known to another people. Even if that is aside, there is also the risk that any online platform can be hacked and KYC of the people using the site can be stolen, a reputable site can be hackedbas well. But I am not saying people should give out their KYC to new sites that are more likely a scammer or hackers that may use the KYC against the owners.

The first decentralized crypto betting platform

Quote from: bitbollo on October 11, 2022, 02:37:47 PM

I don't really care if I am going to play with FIAT currency. Official gambling sites are requesting documents by default here in my country (Italy).
It could be something that I care if I am going to use an international platform (it's banned from my country so I am force in this case...).
Regarding crypto, I am reluctant to go for a KYC since I think privacy is a must on this field, and most (all) of this kind casinos are not regulated in my country...

The same in my case. For fiat you have to do a KYC beforehand or else you can't bet. When I have bet in crypto casinos it is because I was not required to do a KYC. In some case in the TOS it said that they were going to require KYC from a certain amount, but they didn't require it for me. In my opinion, if KYC in crypto is generalised as a previous step as it happens in fiat, cryptocurrency casinos will lose a great incentive they have now.

I personally prefer casinos not asking for KYC in general. I know its some sort of security matter that also helps us, users in some problematic issues.
I think mainly people that work in sensitive places (like government officers or national defence workers/engineers) seek anonymity most. It can be dangerous for their career in long run because they work on important projects.
I don't think casinos can exactly permit VPNs btw. Probably not possible in legal basis.

Crypto itself is already semi anonymous, unless you play on a full KYC casino and they demand it from you, you are already pretty anonymous to begin with. I don't need to take any extra precautions for this because I don't play at casinos that would demand KYC from me and I don't keep my coins on a crypto exchange which makes me pretty anonymous when I gamble. I don't really care much about it though, it is something I do automatically when I deal with crypto. It is like a second nature to me.

Not sure why people wouldn't want to verify their account. Only feels like someone who has something to hide prefers anonymity over everything. Passing KYC not only makes your gambling activity safe, it also helps the casino stop users from abusing the casino. Not only this, but it does also help stop "illegal" activities. Others that say they are concerned "about their data", they are very well aware that their data are kept safe and won't be misused (why would anyone want to risk getting sued?) but they still use that excuse as a way to avoid going through KYC.

Why do you think your data is safe? A clerk in Curacao may make $6 USD/hour, approx $12,500 for the year but he can steal a player's database from a casino and sell it for $20,000.

I am a person that wanted to live a very private life. Decentralized gambling sites that aren't into KYC fit me well. But it doesn't mean that I am not also willing to do KYC when super necessary. It's not that I like KYC but I did a lot of it here in my country since I have bank accounts and I use some apps that are also very important here. So generally I am not totally against KYC. But I prefer gambling sites that aren't forcing KYC. We have a lot of reliable gambling sites here to choose.

In my case I am not looking for it at all, because I play poker on fiat sites and being perfectly identified makes it much more difficult, although not impossible, to cheat. The poker crypto casinos without KYC make it too easy to cheat. When I have occasionally played at crypto casinos it has been without KYC. If I had been asked for KYC I would not have gambled.

I understand on the other hand people who bet with cryptocurrencies looking for anonymity, because in some cases they are in a country where gambling is prohibited, or where the offer is not varied and due to regulations and taxes the RTP is low, among other reasons.

Anonymity, you mean it doesn't require you to do KYC?, surely gamblers will generally try to remain anonymous and crypto casinos provide it at the beginning but it is almost difficult to maintain because casinos are required to comply with the rules of the license where they are registered and one of the the rules are about AML so KYC is no longer avoidable.

@Team_MegaPari I see some of your threads shouldn't be in the gambling sections because they more proper on gambling discussion boards, so you should move them

I guess you are right, crypto and fiat based casinos are now almost the same as far as gambling goes. In the last 4 years or so, regulators are coming hard on crypto gambling as well because it is being suspected that they are being use as a way to launder their money. And with that, almost all crypto based gambling require us to send documents, thus, there's no more anonymity which we gamblers love in the first place. So it's a dilemma, and either we accept it or not.

Speaking of anonymity, crypto gamblers have gotten it before because they can play at crypto casinos without having to reveal their identity. For now, many casinos have implemented KYC for their members so anonymity seems to have started to disappear. Although the casino has not implemented it for all its members, sooner or later, it will surely happen so there will be no more anonymity for its members.

But gamblers can still hide their gambling activities because they can still use crypto from their wallets and send it to the casino to gamble. This can keep them hidden from the government, which wants to track people who gamble online.

They can enjoy using a small amount of funding, but when they start using big money, the process of verification will take place. Especially if luck permits them to win huge amount of money, they will be asked for KYC before they can move the money, so far there are still casinos who will allow gamblers to use none KYC gaming, I'm speaking in regard to crypto casino gamblers can still enjoy using services and play the game that they like to play.

Though with the growing market of this industry, we might be expecting that sooner or later, even crypto casinos will implement
verification might be because of government taxes that they needed to comply.

Yes, indeed, some casinos allow gamblers not to do KYC but sooner or later, casinos will ask them for KYC due to government regulations. Well, we can only hope that it doesn't come too soon so that we as small gamblers, can still enjoy the fun of playing gambling without having to go through a verification process.

I imagine if it was about taxes from gambling businesses and casinos didn't have to ask members for KYC, it would let us crypto gamblers not have to worry about it and be able to continue playing without worry. We are lucky to still play gambling at casinos that do not require KYC.

Almost all bitcoin casinos are located in Costa Rica or Curacao. In the history of crypto casinos, when has the government in CR or Curacao ever asked a casino for KYC? The only real reason for KYC in these jurisdictions is a means for a casino not to pay it's players.

Staying anonymously is one of the reasons why people are switching to crypto casinos where they can bet and enjoy themselves on what ever game they want to play without any restrictions or having to pay through fiat where some of the identities of users can be revealed to casinos. Crypto casinos is one of the safest way we can gamble and get what we want without having to disclose our actual identities to casinos.

If you take a long at transactions whether deposit or withdrawal, users identities are not know only the IP address which can show the location where the transaction is coming from alone. Crypto casinos is having fast adoption these days compared to fiat casinos.

I find it extremely important. Extremely to the point that if there was no casino that wouldn't allow me to play without KYC, I'd stop gambling.

Anonymity is everything because I don't want my personal data to get stolen, sold, or otherwise leaked. I don't want random people to know that I use cryptocurrencies. To me all my activities are private, which is why I use crypto, don't post my real name or address online and write on a somewhat anonymous forum Tongue

Since we arent that addicted and we do really give out importance about anonymity then we can just simply stop on point and never gamble if ever you've been asked out for some KYC.
We are here on this market on which we do really give importance on being anonymous on the time we do play.Some people wont mind about those stuffs or doesnt give out importance
but majority of us do really matter about KYC-less platforms which there are some that do exist today.We could really have lots of choices or options.
Dont stick on something that would really be exposing your personal information, it isnt really that worth on something that connects about leisure.

Well, these days when you're in your favorite casino, it doesn't matter.

Because for so many reasons, they'll ask their players to get verified and there's one concern that makes me think what's important. And that is on not selling our data to another party.

So, they'll be the only one to keep our verifications and identities and hopefully, they won't break to that.

Using or accepting crypto is the best for online casino gambling. Because you do not need or have to go to the back to make deposit of the fiat currency to your bet wallet before using it but with crypto (bitcoin) which is already a digital currency make things easy for gamblers. you just transfer the funds from your bitcoin wallet to the betting or casino wallet and start the gambling from there without delay.

For the anonymity, you can only be anonymity when you are winning a little or small amount of money because at that stage the casino company might not ask you your KYC but when you win big then you can not be anonymity again, at that stage your real identity must be reveal because the casino company will ask you to upload your documents which is contrary to your username in the casino. Therefore, anonymity is not not permanent on casino sites.

It is important but it is not like I would make a huge deal out of it, so far I have not needed to send my information to a casino because I even if I gamble regularly the amount I gamble is always very small, so even if I were to win my withdrawal will probably not raise any kind of alarm, however if you are a big stakes player then you will have to identify yourself sooner or later regardless of the casino in which you are playing, as regulators are giving more and more attention to this industry.
