Would you like to see casinos to be fined more often for the practice of only asking for personal information from winning gamblers or do you think this will have a harmful effect on their finances?
That amount is even small, it should have run in millions. The fair practice I know is to disallow a deposit if the withdrawal would not be honoured simply because of a lack of KYC. Companies are using this approach to cheat their customers, and the first bad experience I had was with brokerage companies. Some were so bad to the point that they would be rejecting genuine verification documents after a withdrawal is initiated so as to frustrate the trader from withdrawing their money. That is why I like to do all the necessary KYC while dealing with any companies to avoid issues later.
And what the UK has done to the casino is so good if it's true. I will not mind if a law could be passed in this regard as well.
