FUNToken telegram gp added KYC to stop people from multi accounting and farming. I hope they don't do this with freebitco, because there are a lot of people that aren't abusing it and can't do KYC.
FUN token telegram group and Freebitco website operated by a separate group. I don't think they will apply the KYC verification rules in a similar way to the Freebitco users. The rules have been applied for the abusers (banned users) in the FUN token telegram group. I doubt that Freebitco team will unlock the account of the banned users through the KYC verification.
Honestly, nothing is off the table. If regulators start banging on the door, freebitco.in might slap KYC checks on us all - no questions asked. Just look at what went down in Germany; boom, users locked out overnight. Other countries could easily jump on that bandwagon.
Lets be real, regulators are obsessed with poking their nose into anything crypto or betting related. If they get twitchy about freebitco.in, theyll push for full-blown KYC everywhere. Thats not a wild guess, its just the way things are going. So, yeah, brace yourself. Its probably only a matter of time.
Other countries can't easily follow suit in doing what Germany did, most especially countries that are making huge money from taxing casinos that operate in and within the country, as we as taxing gamblers as well.
Casinos are part of the gambling ecosystem that is worth billions in dollars, with proper planning and execution, some countries that bettered the economy of their country with part fund they made from taxing gambling halls and casinos, so it's sure hard for a country that have allowed gambling for several years to turn around to ban it.
And speaking of kyc, you are right, kyc is inevitable so long as we use and even depend on centralized services instead of opting for decentralized services instead, we will one day wake up to every centralized casinos demanding mandatory kyc verification even before making a deposit will be allowed, we should know that the world is advancing and so also are some strict measures advancing too.
