A fake passport can cost anywhere from $250-$500 at least this is what I found via google, I'm sure there are many blackhat forums where you might be able to get your hands on a bit less, I still put the figure around the $200 mark for a single fake identity along with a utility bill.
I'm not exactly up to date with the prices for fake documents, but I believe that is the price you would pay for a physical fake passport. Receiving a scanned .jpg or .pdf of somebody else's passport would be much cheaper, and would be more than enough to verify on the vast majority of online platforms.
I see no reason why would a casino require a KYC, if they had no promotions or Bonuses.
Well, until the government of whatever jurisdiction they are based in decides they want to start coming after their customers and forces them to enact KYC or close/move. As we've seen time and time again with exchanges, when such an event takes place, the exchange in question almost always sells out their customers and locks their accounts without warning pending mandatory KYC.
We as a community need to stand together, we need to frown upon these 'crypto' casinos/bookmakers which require users to perform a KYC. Having to go through a KYC verification defeats the very purpose of using Cryptocurrencies in the first place... I dunno why as a community we have kind of submitted ourself to these requirements when actually we don't even have to give out the smallest detail like which browser we are using let alone perform a full KYC.
I couldn't agree more. I have not, and will never, complete KYC at any crypto-related service. It is entirely possible to buy, sell, trade, withdraw, hold, gamble, mix, use, anything you want, without ever having to complete KYC, but too many users seem happy to trade their privacy and security for convenience.
