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?

For me, the only difference between anonymous and regulated casinos is KYC. You could still get scammed by regulated casinos, maybe the fact that the casino has a license gives the gamblers a false sense of hope that they might get their coins back(if they take legal actions), but I'm pretty skeptical about this. I would choose an anonymous casino, that has good and verified reviews online. I don't mind using regulated casinos, but KYC sucks and I try to avoid doing KYC verification as much as possible.
2015 was a different era for crypto. I don't remember this correctly, but there were many unregulated crypto exchanges back then.

I agree. Having a license doesn't necessarily mean the casino can't become shady. Because if they want to scam their gamblers, no one can stop them regardless of they're regulated or not. So it's about how they established their casino to prove that they can be trust. Through reviews of the gamblers based on their own experience playing on the site.

Anyway, regulation is already part of casino and it's inevitable for them to continue operating their business. Hence, it's our choice if we will comply and undergo kyc or refrain ourselves from playing.
