Yes, when the oldest sites were starting up, they had zero trust, but they built it based on honesty and based on fundamental values that are what we look for in a platform, that the sites comply with their members, that withdrawals are given at the right time, that there are no problems to make deposits, or cheat with welcome bonuses and that they comply when a person wins a prize.
Quite right. If any gambling site performs the simplest things without comment and quickly enough - accepts a deposit, pays out winnings and accrued bonuses, does not cheat in promotions, then naturally such a site inspires our trust. It is also important that this continues for a long time and the player would not receive any unnecessary procedures, in his opinion, such as unexpected KYC confirmations or something similar. Then trust is definitely formed for the site and for the casino. And it is naturally broadcast in the user reviews of this casino on forums and reviews.
Trust is built over time and of the many oldest casino sites we know, there are enough of that list that we can use as a place to play gambling and it doesn't need to make us look for other sites, especially if that site comes from out there. We should be satisfied enough to play on trusted and reputable old sites and not try to play on shady sites, which may be riskier. Implementing KYC will probably be carried out by almost all casinos, including the old casino sites. This is due to the regulator, so the casinos have to follow the rules. But for trusted casinos, with the implementation of KYC, they do not change their services to their members, including if they want to deposit or withdraw large amounts of money.
