Yup, but im also asking myself if there’s a possibility for businesses to go against this legally. It could be argued that they can’t really link addresses to specific types of businesses themselves, so maybe there’s some possibilities to get similar statuses to cash businesses.

Casino, as well as exchange, and other businesses' addresses are well-known most of the time, though.

Really good point, with all these factors there must be a way to make a case against the legitimacy of all these measures. Would love to hear some lawyers opinion about this. Im also wondering why companies are just complying instead of making some cases themselves.

Against taint? I believe so, yes. Against accepting a direct payment from a casino, I don't think so. That's really a kind of 'exception' - as I said before - that exists for a long time. I remember before crypto casinos, there were obviously fiat online casinos, and some banks didn't allow withdrawals from them. Because from a pure business perspective, there are no 'casino user accounts'; the bank is actually getting a bank transfer from a casino's bank account number. For legal reasons, in many countries they simply aren't allowed to receive payments from casinos' bank accounts, or they don't want to, not to get involved into money laundering investigations if / when they happen.

Yeah, but laws and regulations also need to be enforceable, having a central register with all business addresses is a nightmare and can also easily be dodged when businesses just create new addresses that arent registered somewhere. Bank accounts are much more static and from central entities, not pseudonymus and traceable even if a business used another account to dodge regulations. Maybe theres some room here to push back against these regulations by pointing out that theyre generally unenforceable and harm their customers and business models in the process. And maybe theres different ways to comply with regulations that dont have these drawbacks.
