Lately KYC has become very essential for casinos so as to help regulate it's platform and to prevent every form of money laundering and criminality through their platform.
It is true most gamblers wants to stay anonymous while gambling, but most times, this very reason it's been misuesed and abused by some gamblers who try to divert stolen funds to these casinos.
In the past, casinos would never ask for a KYC not until it was made necessary by the gambling board as directed by government so as to monitor transactions safely on its platform.
I see no reason why people shy away from KYC especially when your intentions are pure and genuine.
Beside the casino isn't reviewing your identity to anyone except on the cases of criminal investigation.
There are basically few casinos that wouldn't ask for KYC initially or for little deposit but as time goes on or during withdrawal of some certain amount, you might in one way or the other be asked for KYC.
Especially when an online casino or some other site requires KYC with your photo with a document, a date written on a piece of paper, or, accordingly, some video with your face from different angles. Such perversions during the passage of KYC are generally disgusting to me. And they are somewhat reminiscent of how criminals are fingerprinted during detention or photographed both in front and profile, next to a ruler measuring a person’s height. In general, I am surprised that this procedure, invented by American bureaucrats with the support of stupid authorities, does not infuriate many people at all. And such people will show that it seems to be normal and in the order of things.
But I think that mandatory KYC is a mockery of personality and just disgusting.
As crypto users who want to remain hidden behind the scenes, we can't do anything because the government tries to control all businesses, especially the gambling business, because it is a billion dollar business. And I feel that it will be mandatory for all gamblers to comply with KYC procedures in the future when the government really takes this regulation seriously.
