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 sound like they want to cheat, maybe hoping that you won't be able to pass the KYC verification since the reason why you first start gambling on the platform was because they don't asked for KYC verification from you.
On the other hand it's not so true, some times you are the one that failed to go through their terms and conditions, just because they don't ask for KYC details at first doesn't mean that they can't ask you later.
It's also a clear way for some bad casinos to cheat customers, as they will likely keep rejecting every KYC information you provide to them, and if you call them to justice they will claimed you fail to pass their requirements.
All you need to do is avoid bad online casinos with bad reputation.
