On top of this, one of the problems is that a lot of sites now use KYC as their excuse but were planning to steal the money anyways, so then you've given them your full identity and documents when they were already planning to scam, just making it more dangerous
Yes, in such a scenario, KYC is an element of risk assessment - whether your money can be stolen without problems or not. They evaluate first of all your jurisdiction - whether you can file a lawsuit against them. And only then being on sanctions lists and the like.
It all comes back to each individual, if KYC is really problematic, you should not gamble at a casino that asks you for KYC, but if KYC is not a problem for you, you should look for a site that really has a good reputation on this forum, never give out your identity. in casinos that have just been announced on this forum because it is clearly very dangerous and risky that you might experience.
So far I personally have never sent any ID to the casino just filled in the information data for them at level 1 but usually that's not a problem for me because I'm just a small gambler who bets with less money than a rich gambler who makes bigger bets. Larger ones are usually always vulnerable to strict regulations to prevent money laundering, so it comes back to each individual's view of KYC, whether they are comfortable or not, they should be able to choose it.
This is not about what someone can or cannot pass the KYC. And that hypothetically there is a ranking of players depending on their citizenship. That is, a player from the Top 10 countries (US, UK, GE) will not have problems withdrawing his winnings, like a player from Bangladesh (no offense).
