No License, No KYC casinos are my favorites.
License means regulations, regulations means problems. Why would a casino need a license? The only thing a casino needs is a good reputation and it only takes some time to build it. freebitco.in is a very good example.
If I can't access to a casino like this, of course my second favorites are Licensed/No KYC casinos.
I somehow agree with your statement. Though what bothers me are unlicensed online gambling websites as they are unregulated. Though this may be the case, this can easily be remedied if the gambling website has proven itself to be relatively 'trustworthy' through the test of time (e.g. their overall time of service, etc.). But generally, I avoid unlicensed gambling websites especially if they are brand new and if they are still establishing their name on the market.
As for KYC, it is definitely a no-brainer for me. Why would I ever want to expose my identity to something that is unregulated/regulated which can potentially leak my information?
I think the same, every time we bow down to a centralized authority then they are free to put forward whatever regulations that they like, it is true that gambling in an unlicensed casino is a risk especially if it is relatively new, but if the casino has shown through their actions that they are to be trusted then that is more than enough to me.
After all the main reason that made gambling with cryptocurrencies so successful at the beginning was the ability to gamble without the need of going through KYC policies.
BTW great thread OP, merited.
