I agree, it is dumb for a casino not to KYC a player before they sign up, because they could deposit their own money/receive a tip, and try to withdraw but that money is just gone. Makes me think some casinos are thieves, such as roobet. Happened to me, but I ended up just KYCing, but for people who don’t have it available, they just have frozen money.
It is just a strategy. Casino wants to get new gamblers and their money, but someone don`t like KYC, someone more don`t want to wait KYC, etc. And the moment of cheating - if the gambler win, casino can KYC him for a long time and as result can say that he has some mistakes in his data. I don`t want to name any casino, but i know several with such strategy.
I think it would have been brave enough for you to name such casinos, after all, this is a community where the truth is supposed to be revealed to guide others. I would have just named the casinos if I were sure of it if I were you, to avoid it, they shouldn't have done it if it is so bad on their part to reveal what they had done. Aside from that, it's true that casinos are strategists, not only them, it's every company that deals with customers and earns money through their deposits. They all have their ways to pretend and strike when they have the opportunity. However, the customers are to be blamed at times, most people are just adults but they are not wise, which is why they fall victim most times. The exception to this are those who had done their KYC a long time ago but because of one reason or the other telling them to add to the information submitted.
In my experience, those who are often victims of this are the ones that are so proficient in gambling, they are threats to the house. But this is never fair, to say the least. But to those who believe they want to keep their identity secret or would not do KYC from the beginning, I blame them most, this is so ugly and the end can't be good for them, especially when the casino is now tossing them up and down and starts rejecting their documents that they would have accepted if the person did the KYC from the beginning. This is not new and I have witnessed lots of them, but it's not me, it's other people. They will start looking for one excuse or the other just to deny it. This happens if the person wants to make a somewhat reasonable high withdrawal.
