Not only by checking their reputation but also their TOS if they are requiring KYC in any form , because some sites mentioned about not having this security rules but suddenly upon withdrawal they will pretend to be checking your legitimacy so need to pass details.
things that what I love in Honest casino that they already indicate profiling even before you decide to create account.
with those rules then we will decide if to continue or not.
A lot of cases Ive seen here and out the forum about the players surprised of the team verifying them after they won or if they wanted to take their funds out.
for me this is dishonesty and deserve a negative record for tha said casino , why not being truth from the beginning? this will end me think that their main intention is to fool people and nothing more.
hoping that the casinos for the future will never do such stupidity because this will record to their own names in the end.
I've seen people complaining about the same thing as well where the casino preached to be KYC-free but then asked for KYC, but that case is different because if a casino isn't saying anything about KYC and then asks you to verify yourself, it means that they have it in their terms and conditions but you didn't read them, a lot of people don't like reading terms and conditions because they find it boring or tiring which is why they get in trouble later on.
One should read the rules, terms and conditions, and frequently asked questions before they go ahead and make a deposit at a casino, if they are not satisfied with the rules of the platform, they should not gamble with them at all instead of complaining later.
I see your point and sympathize with the frustration you've expressed. The practice of introducing KYC suddenly at the withdrawal stage is indeed questionable, and I concur that transparency is vital in such situations.
However, as tedious as it may be, due diligence falls on the user too. Every casino has its terms and conditions, albeit cloaked in convoluted jargon, it is there for us to understand their modus operandi.
It's akin to signing a contract without reading it, which is risky business in any scenario. An informed player is a safe player. So, let's put on our reading glasses and tackle those T&Cs like they're going out of style!
