I truly believe that a simple case like this can be solved without the need for KYC, and I would like to discuss how we can make it happen. If that means compromising on my winning amount, then that's perfectly fine with me as well. (And once again, it is also the main reason I signed up for your site in the 1st place instead of a more popular fiat bookie - to keep my identity private, unless you actually suspect there were fraudulent activities involved).
I am waiting for you to respond to all these 3 questions before I can decide to do anything, so please reply back to me soon so I can let you know what I think and make a clear decision.
I have seen many cases like this when casinos are not sure about one person being right or wrong, maybe they cheated, maybe they did something against the rules of the casino, or maybe they did nothing wrong, so that is why they ask for your KYC, they want to make sure that they have your information, give you the money, they just keep on researching the situation, if you did anything wrong that means they have your info and can "blackmail" you for the money until you give it back (not like they are going to sue someone from another nation for 100-200 bucks, no way) and if you did nothing wrong then your KYC is useless for them.
Basically they are not sure if you are 100% legit or not, and instead of trying to figure out right away, they are giving themselves time by having your KYC, that is the easy way out for them and makes things simpler for them. It is not really that wrong, it is easy to handle considering if you did nothing wrong, they will probably ignore your KYC.
How could I possibly cheat or do something against their rules when they themselves were the ones who put the player who I bet on at 2.6+ odds on their site for 2-3 hours?
Perhaps it was a mistake (although a universal one across all bookies), but the fact that they kept it open for such a long time without changing it is not my fault, is beyond my control, and has nothing to do with me.
And as I said before, I don't believe there was a clear favorite in this match because going in it was pretty even, I just decided to go with De Jong because he opened at better odds and that's it. But I'm surprised he dropped from 2.6 to <1.7 because even right now it doesn't make much sense to me why it happened.
It's just like any other bet and one that has many swings in odds before the start of the match.
And even if they know who I am or where I live, what difference will it make in their decision or matter at all? I don't see how it matters whether I live in Australia or Slovakia or Argentina or whether I am white, black, or what my background is.
I understand most people may not care so much about doing KYC, but I am a very private person who doesn't like to share my personal information with the public like that when it is unnecessary or can be easily avoided (esp to people/companies online I don't fully trust); and it is exactly why I signed up with FJ in the 1st place. I was told by many people they almost never ask for KYC (you can read many comments on that on this forum), and them being a crypto bookie felt like I never had to worry about doing KYC if I ever placed + won any bets.
Now it feels like the script has been flipped on me for no reason and although I understand they are officially allowed to ask for it at anytime, they rarely ever do it and it really does not make sense to do it in this situation either considering what happened.
