as much as I hate KYC , the AML compliance is a must for a licensed casino
the thing is that some of the casinos are throwing KYC at you whenever they see an opportunity to not pay you
but sometimes there are cases when KYC is needed to avoid getting abused with mass alt accounts using freebies and by scammers using the services as a mixer for stolen or tainted coins
I'd take a legit bitcoin bookie that is only doing random KYC checks over a "we see you withdraw a big sum and we KYC you" any time
well yeah that's true , but I still don't get it how a site can only use KYC for "random checking"
the regulated sites who follow the rules have KYC for all the players , but having KYC applied only in certain situations isn't acceptable IMO unless there is a bonus abuse cause that's the only legit case I can think of
