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.

In reality, there is a legal validity to asking for KYC in a casino, so that a gambler cannot commit criminal acts. But if an institution approves KYC initially and later asks for bank account or other information after a big win, it may be illegal in some cases and may be legal in some cases. Especially if it is in a regulated casino, then there is no fear of doing it because there is a guarantee of getting that money, but in the case of any other platform, it may sometimes be a victim of scam. For this, the right decision must be taken according to the situation.

Thats what i dont really get, why would they even ask for bank info if a gambler wins big? like whats the connection? are they trying to check where the money comes from, or just using bank statement as extra doc to be sure the person who submitted the kyc is the same guy?

honestly it doesn't make much sense to me. can someone explain this?
