First of all, casino isn`t interesting in it. They don`t need to care about addicts - they make money and don`t want to pay for decreasing their profit.

That is on them; we are discussing how Blockchain + KYC can improve self-exclusion in preventing gambling addiction.  Not whether casinos will accept it or not.  Smiley  After all, if the regulatory board requires it, they need to follow, if not, then the casino is entitled to their decision Smiley.
I agree. It can be some problems with offshores, but it doesn`t our problem.

The second - if casino would share other casinos only your wallet - you can create new wallet easily. If they would share your data and wallet - it seems that they would break a law. Also it can be used against gamblers. If one casino will block you or even just restrict in any way - they can share it to other casinos.
I think you need to read this article: https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/news/article/online-operators-required-to-participate-in-gamstop-from-march-2020  to see specifically if cross-platform sharing of self-exclusion data is illegal.
As i understand, it is true only for UK? And it`s about fiat money? With cryptocurrencies it would be more difficult. I don`t care about KYC but lots of people believe in anonymity in crypto.
It is bad situation as for me. I still think, that for gambler it must be an opportunity but not duty. I would prefer to KYC one more time in new casino i believe, than be KYCed in 200 casinos, that i don`t know.
