Oh, the ecstasy of KYC checks in casinos! Isn't it grand watching regulators flex their mighty power, demanding that sacred ID laws be upheld? And the casinos, those noble creatures, tasked with guarding personal info like a mythical beast protecting its hoard!
But why must casinos suffer such trials? Why bear the weight of privacy, shielding against intrusions, and bolstering security? All for that enchanting instant when a player hits the jackpot!
Indeed, when fortune smiles upon a modest depositor, the casino's KYC prowess awakens! What a sight! Who would want to expose their identity while basking in their fiscal triumph? The casino must seize the chance to save and embrace legal shortcuts, right?
So uhm, what are you getting on to exactly?
Rule of thumb of mine whenever I deal with these kinds of casinos is to check if they have an announcement channel over here at bitcointalk, that at leasts sets me up that these people are confident enough of their credibility. If they aren't here, it's a big no-no for me no matter how much licenses can be bought, but credibility and reputation couldn't be purchased. I've seen a lot of people saying that these sites you're talking about appears to be derivates of the same fraudulent site, although I don't want to confirm nor deny these allegations as that would mean I'd have to waste my money over sites that are already shady, all for the sake of bypassing KYC which isn't even that hard in the first place.
I suggest you stop looking for no-KYC casinos, this field is a breeding ground for scammers and hackers.
Though the criteria of not being on the forum doesn't really make a casino a scam but as you said, this industry is full of scammers so people need to be careful when they are choosing a platform to gamble and they shouldn't just choose a platform only because it doesn't ask for KYC. It is much better to choose a reputable platform and do KYC there and only use that for gambling.
People who tend to change platforms every now and then are more vulnerable to scams and frauds, such people need to stick to one platform and only use that for their gambling activities if they want to stay away from scammers.
I'm not saying all of the casinos that are not on this forum are scams or what, it's just that it's really hard to trust a casino (at least for me) when you don't have channels to reach them out, bitcointalk being one of them. So I refrain from using casinos that do not have announcement channels here. In any case, the point still stands that you should really avoid no-KYC casinos because well, let's just say I'm not gonna side with the greater evil here. Considering you'd have to chose between entrusting your identity to another corporation, or risking yourself from getting scammed by some snotty-nosed kid in North Korea or wherever on God's green earth just to save from being "tracked by the government".
