I still am still trying to find a straight answer... if I am in the USA, am I allowed to play poker on this site? if so, what KYC is involved?
You still missed answering the query in question, which was 'if US players are allowed or not?''
I can't speak for tech support, as I'm not in their chats etc. And I don't use BC US so I can't know for sure.
One trusted user who asked about this received personal assurances from me that everything would be fine with him. But I can't vouch for every new user.
I can say one thing, I've been using VPN for 3 years and BC doesn't know my username and all this time I was able to withdraw funds without KYC and play using VPN (although today I gave my ID to a BC Poker member for the first time to get a ticket to a freeroll).
This whole conversation boils down to the fact that from my answer you can easily determine whether a legitimate player can use VPN or not.
This is the only answer to your question that has been posted. The BcPoker account doesn't answer 99% of the questions, so this is what you have to go by. WHat happens if you get asked for Kyc? IDK so you're kinda at risk, but I have been playing for weeks without being asked for anything and as you see their campaign manager says he has been playing for awhile without being asked for documents.
What I would assume is as long as you're not trying to cheat the site in some way, shape, or form you will not be asked for any KYC. If you are into shady shit you will be asked. You can also see that 1 user was asked for documents for winning without ever depositing, least that's what I got from it. So what I just said is not 100%.
I wish someone was answering questions and concerns that someone has with straight answers, but noone seems to be answering anything when asked. I think the freeroll might be wrong and I asked for it to be double checked but noone has replied. I have seen multiple people ask about USA and no exact answer from BC. There are probably other questions that have been posed and noone seems to care to reply.
I am not trying to be difficult, but if you are going to maintain a site, you need some damn customer support here and you need to be answering potential customers questions. You can't just ignore anything asked and post a damn meme every now n then with some motivational crap or promotional mumbo jumbo.
