I’ve noticed some scam accusation posts against certain casinos, and there seems to be a trend here.
Some casinos advertise themselves as KYC-free, but the moment you win big, that’s when they suddenly put all the requirements on you. And it’s not just basic KYC, they ask for heavy documents like passports, and some even request bank account details.
So I’m wondering, is this really a legal safeguard, or are they just using it as their own policy to forfeit players’ winnings?
This is actually a serious concern. Most of us might not have reached that level yet, but what if one day we do hit it big and end up facing the same situation?
It is shady and scammy when the casino itself where one is gambling on is shady and scammy, of one sticks to casinos with a proven liquidity and spotless reputation then there should not be a problem at all.
Also, it is always advisable to complete KYC in advance of one is sure one is going to be an user of a casino in the long term, so if one happens to hit some jackpot, there will be no excuse for the house to release our money immediately so we can enjoy it as we please.
