When I first started gambling around 2015, anonymous casinos and sportsbooks were the norm. Some of you might remember DirectBet - it was huge back then before eventually shutting down.

Now, the landscape has clearly shifted toward regulated platforms. Yet some anonymous options still exist. So I'm curious, where does the community stand today? Would you still choose anonymous casinos, or do you prefer sticking with regulated ones?

IMHO, the majority is going to choose the regulated ones. There's that feeling where the crowd goes, then that very individual, like us, also goes where they go.

I remember that old casino and the others that have been in the industry for quite a while but they didn't last.

Just like the CEXes before, they are not regulated at all not until the pressure from the regulators have come and they have to implement KYC even if they've started for long and never required it.

And we will be that joining up on the bandwagon on the moment that we've seen that majority is already trusting up centralized or regulated platforms then we will be that going into this way.
Even if we do go against these business wont be stopping on trying out to comply on whats being asked or whats being mandated and since these are legit businesses then they will normally be trying out to comply for them to operate. Yes, we've seen those years that anonymous casinos are the main thing and thats why they do become that popular way back into those years and this is one of the reasons on why crypto gambling had become that popular but as years passing by then these anonymous casinos have become that regulated on which there's that transition on which we do end up on having no choice but as gamblers we do need up to comply for us to be able to withdraw our funds.

So far there are still some platforms who doesnt still require some verification when you do withdraw on which is good, but i wont be shocked nor surprised if one day they will be that having those sudden change into their terms and conditions. As a gambler then you will definitely be that trying out to bare up with those changes specially if you've been that long time playing on the said site and with those changes then we dont have any choice but to comply on whats needed for us to be able to have such good user experience or having no issues like lock up of withdrawals just because you havent done any KYC yet. Most of platforms now had already that kind of terms of conditions because there's already that gradual shift when it comes into this aspect.
