We all know that many casinos are now regulated, which means they can enforce KYC at any time. But if there’s a casino claiming to offer anonymous gambling, without a license and does not have a bad reputation.. would you be willing to risk your money there? Or would you rather stick to regulated and reputable casinos?
I would rather stick to regulated and reputable casinos to avoid stories that touch on the long run. If a casino is offering anonymity and they decided to change due to the fact that it is been regulated. Well for me I see nothing wrong with a casino enforcing kyc, it is good for a casino to know its customers incase if there is any fraudulent activities it can easily be detected and more also the reason why many casino users won't like kyc is because it will make them not to exploit the casino like having multiple accounts, won't be possible as a result of kyc. So aside this I don't see any more reason why a casino user will want to remain anonymous or dislike a casino for enforcing kyc.
I would also stick with regulated and reputable casinos because I don't love surprises but to be honest, I would risk and gamble on an unlicensed, non-kyc casino if they have a good reputation on this forum but overall, I think I'd prefer regulated and reputable casino, especially those who are very popular, active on this forum and always solve scam accusations if there is any.
By the way, to answer your last sentence, people prefer to remain anonymous because they don't want to have a history of gambling on any casino website. Some people are from banned countries and want to gamble anonymously by using VPN. Some people dislike KYC because it's not a nice procedure, it might be a discomfort for many people, especially in cases when casino asks them to go outside in the shop, buy something and take a picture with that bill.
