I recently noticed a trend where no-KYC crypto casinos are becoming increasingly popular in regions with strict regulatory environments. What do you think are the key factors driving this shift, and how might it impact responsible gambling practices?
When thinking of the impact on responsible gambling practices it's not just the overcoming of strict regulatory environments I have in mind. But rather also easy access to illicit use such as by minors, etc..
Many countries these days have internet service provider level of blocks, which means the potential for a site to be blocked (but still accessible via VPN) by the government or regulator is a possibility. Let's face it though, there are simply too many sites out there, in so many countries and jurisdictions with different laws, that a player with money will always have an outlet to spend it. Responsible gambling has always relied on the willpower of a player as the most important requirement, but then the whole thing becomes redundant - because responsible players know their limits and don't go beyond it, irresponsible players have little self control and will find ways to gamble regardless of any blocks put up.
