Just a question for some if you have the answers. I see sll the scam accusations towards the casinos for holding funding and/or blocking accounts on KYC failure. So is the casino keeping these funds that players are winning? And is this why there is such an up surge in the KYC bs everyone has been dealing with? Obviously the providers aren't aware of the scam accusations and KYC denials so safe to assume they are clueless on the payout? Now isn't the provider just as liable to pay the player their winnings as the host platforms?
On kyc failure and the user not being able to access or withdraw their funds from the casino, the casino gets to keep this funds if the user has no choice but to forget about it, this is definitely why some scam casinos will boldly allow users from areas and countries they themselves put on their restriction list to sign up and successfully deposit money into the Casino, they allow the user to play games and as soon as the user wins and places a withdrawal request, they will ask him or her to complete kyc verification first, something the casino already know the user can not pass due to playing from a location the casino restricts, when the user can not pass the kyc verification, the casino refuses him or her withdrawal of the funds on the grounds that kyc verification was not passed, this fund automatically becomes that of the casino.
This is a strategy so many small casinos are using to scam unsuspecting victims.
That's a good post although the big casinos are the ones that get away with it. The smaller casinos are the ones that can't afford to steal money since their reputation isn't good enough to overcome the bad press.
