I think there are many crypto casinos that allow you to play without KYC. Winnings under $1000 are usually fine. You can make small incremental withdrawals so you won’t be asked for KYC. However, if you are a high roller who frequently makes withdrawals over $5k, without KYC you will definitely have problems.
This is correct.
There’s a threshold—often based on a threefold rule—where total payments reaching a certain amount trigger mandatory KYC. That’s why you usually won’t be asked for KYC on your initial deposits, especially if they’re small.
On the other hand, casinos generally avoid asking for KYC unless they have to, since it can discourage players right from the start.
