I edited the poll with several of your suggestions. Indeed I had left out several good sites. At first, I thought it would be more manageable if I kept the list relatively short, but clearly, I was wrong. Let me know if you've got any other options and I'll add them there.
Thanks a lot for those, and keep them coming!
I think I've said it before, but Primedice is my number one choice because it's definitely my favorite, and I had a feeling it would be preferred by many as well. The rest of the casinos were listed somewhat randomly.
- Some are there because they're popular and well-rounded casinos, such as Primedice's buddy, Stake.
- Some I added because they're controversial websites here (here's looking at you, Bitstarz) and I wanted to see if there were people that favored them.
- For the sake of variety, I even included a few less-known Dapps instead of more traditional casinos, and left out a couple that, as you can see (https://casinosblockchain.io/crypto-games-review/), we have even reviewed!
My two-cents about casinos and KYC: for the most part, casinos require KYC to protect themselves. Having players using VPNs to play from countries where online gambling is illegal can cause trouble for them, indeed, as you've suggested, but players with multiple accounts can be a problem as well (for bonus-abuse and anti-money laundering reasons).
If the casino is licensed, their regulator might enforce those rules, and game providers (like NetEnt, Evolution, etc) can be pretty demanding as well.
I think many casinos see these compliance issues as a necessary evil, and a bit of a hassle themselves, because they know it can feel like an invasion of privacy and it can keep good players unhappy.
Of course, not all casinos are well-intended. I especially dislike when the casino is not transparent with their KYC process and players are caught off-guard when it happens. T&Cs should be easy to find and customer support should be very clear and helpful.
This is actually a pretty good idea! After the poll is over and if more people are interested, I might pick up on this list and create separate lists/surveys, about the best dice casinos in those different aspects: best dice games, dice casinos with quickest payouts, best dice bonuses, dice casinos with XYZ payments, etc. Thanks!
I might have a few ideas! I tried adding them there but seems like the topic is locked.
Have you ever tried Unikrn? They're a pretty different gambling site, in which they're more about esports than anything else. They have a few fun betting modes, such as UMode where you can bet on yourself while playing, as if you were an esports pro, sort of. They also have a decent collection of esports markets and betting tips. I'm into Dota2 myself, so I'm pretty fond of their website.
You can pay with BTC there, although gameplay itself is in fiat. They used to have their own coin, but that went awry a while back.
Here's a link, if you'd like to learn more: https://casinosblockchain.io/unikrn-review/
As for casino games themselves, I'm a fan of Evolution Gaming live game shows, which have their own, interactive hosts. They can be pretty engaging:
- Deal Or No Deal Live, the live-casino version of the TV show with the same name, where you can decide if you want to take the deal or keep playing.
- Monopoly Live, which is a (better) version of monopoly.
- Dream Catcher, a 'wheel-of-fortune' kind of game.
