stake will die out soon lol the move with kyc was the most stupid thing that they could do
Just my perspective, nobody likes i,t and sure (stake) also does not like it as well.
Stake are one of the casino that are open regional site like on (US) The gambling problem soaring by several advertisers, streamers and apps from sportbets. Making the world have a gambling problem. What do u think the government gonna do? Of course they will try to pursue stakes for making gambling more strict especially to avoid underage gambling because of these pandemic gambling problems.
First step they are doing by changing the term & condition, and requesting every new user to do KYC first before they can gambling. Now, they are doing the second step asking old user to verified with the deadline. The last step, refusing or closing any account are not doing KYC after 1st January 2025 and I don't think is die as you think. Looks the chats rooms online over 50,000-60,000 user at the same time even not in weekends.
I gamble, I also don't like it. However, to avoided these kind of problem gambling by doing these things to prevent underage gambling. I'm fine with it, these gambling advertiser also needed to strictly as well (so kids, are not seeing these ads). Gambling advertiser are not the same like 5+ years ago.
