This requirement also violates the human right to privacy, which is guaranteed by the fundamental documents of human rights. 
That's what I think.

It is, as you said, humiliating.

There are some reasons why KYC would be justified, even though in most cases it vulnerates the human right to privacy, it's true. For example, it is good to verify that no children have access to gambling (is is now being discussed in my country whether it would be advisable KYC to see porn, with a strong interest followed mainly by the feminists). But not for money laundering, because under suspicion of being guilty, the police can find a criminal without having to impose mandatory identification to every citizen.

I still think that there must be a way to probe online that you are an adult without giving away all your personal data. Maybe the blockchain could hold this info cyphered, so anyone could sign a message for example to prove that he is 18+.

Users has human rights to privacy, i agree with that, but the casinos make the game rules, and if you want to play in their engines then you need to follow their rules. And casinos don't implement KYC just to fuck around with users, they have reasons for it:

* Avoid users underage.
* Avoid promotions abuse
* Avoid money laundering

But user can take the desition if gamble with those rules or not. That's why i use my betting bots in JD, they don't have KYC, they don't care about bots, and they allow multiple accounts. So, for me those are fair rules for the users.
