Is buying KYC accounts really worse than not gambling at all?

[Wiwo]

done kyc on my stake account since i started gambling at least that is the only casinos that i can point to that i did verify my account and that is not because i was asked to but i did that just to get my account to the best of it state, aside stake all the other gambling sites i have used have never asked me for kyc at any point so what the heck is the need for me to buy  a verified accounts when i know the risk that come with such actions.

[DPHOR]

You are putting yourself into risk especially buying a kyc'd account that is created and registered in another country or region. Now, there are possibilities for the original owner to retrieve their account after you might have fund the account or, the original owner being put to risk because they wouldn't know what the second owner could used the account for. Buying kyc account connotes that when additional verification is required you still need the attention of the original owners to continue the verification and you must give them access back to continue the verification, okay what if they logged in and noticed that you had a life changing winning they could withdraw it or quickly change password at that point and cut you off from that account. These are the implications of buying already kyc'd account in fact, I wouldn't encourage something like this rather it would be more better to use VPN if that particular site permit the use of vpn.

If you are restricted from using a particular casino for other reasons apart fromage factor then you should try to register on another one instead of buying KYC accounts that might not be authentic or verified...it's not advisable to do this because you might be putting yourself at risk...another problem you might encounter is, the informations being provided on the site won't match that account you are withdrawing to

[alani123]

Buying KYC accounts is something as an activity that directly supports organized crime and identity theft.
Moreover at any time your accounts could be claimed by the original ID holders and the platform could also deny your winnings.

So if you're found to be running under false ID at any time, the casino will surely take advantage of that. At best closing your account, or at worse deducting your balance and denying your winnings.

So yea, don't buy KYC accounts.

Is it really that bad if someone uses a sold KYC account just to gamble, especially if they’re not doing anything illegal with the funds?
Do you see this trend as dangerous, or just the natural result of over-restrictive rules?

It's not bad if you can afford to buy and lose money from that account and you are aware of the risk that you might be asked for KYC for the second time around.

And you know that there is nothing you can do when it's already done and asked you to. It's a dangerous if you haven't heard of those accounts that have been stopped during the withdrawal process and asked to comply for another kyc.

So, that is the danger that you'll have to encounter and ask yourself before purchasing one if you can take the heat whenever you encounter that in the future.

This is also the same for exchange kyc accounts.

It's very obvious that this is a dangerous thing and there are a lot of risk involved here. What if the casino find it out that you are using a sold KYC? Specially if you have won big money and then they ask you to go to a KYC and then you submit this fake personal info causing them to confiscate everything, are you willing to go down to that route? And as you have said, if you have nothing to hide when why do it?

And if you don't want to go KYC then there are still some casinos left that don't require any unless you hit a certain threshold. By now though, crypto base gamblers knows that it has evolved a lot that KYC is now mandatory.

So it's either you go with the flow and accept it and move or you are still in the old and traditional way of not sending any information, it's your choice.

Casinos have terms that stipulate their players should be the true owners of their accounts; they do not want manipulation and must abide by the location restrictions imposed by their license issuer.

Changing one's accounts is like cheating the system because the behavior of their players is being tracked, and changing one's accounts will see a pattern of change.

The user who bought an account is more likely to cheat because they are not using their own credentials, so the blame and restrictions will be placed on the real owner of the account.

Be careful with KYC gambling account how possibility hack back by the original user who submit document ID or verifying KYC, I have much experienced looking for my friend loss access with their gambling or exchange account who KYC by the other because all platform have feature for the original user getting back their account. If you can find the KYC service trust seems not problem yet but after paying for KYC gambling account and make huge deposit amount but the original KYC use know easily getting back their account.
Nowadays many people easily for KYC document ID not matter what platform kinds as gambling account or exchange account, but after document verifying the gambling platform its self can't guarantee you are the original owner of the gambling account regarding use the other people for submitting document ID.

[TheUltraElite]

I would rather suggest using a site that does not ask for KYC or a site that you trust with your KYC.

Most sites will also have strict rules against the use of purchased accounts. So you might find yourself blocked after spending a lumpsum on buying it.

Some of them might even be just scammers waiting for victims with no account in real using the irreversible nature of crypto to scam them.

Not sure if those sites still exist. I mean the ones that really don't ask for KYC even after you win big. From what I know, casinos let you sign up and play without KYC, but the moment you hit a big win they suddenly demand verification. That's the trick.

If you’re looking for a site that doesn’t ask for KYC, that usually means they’re not licensed. Playing there is high risk since they could just disappear anytime. There are also licensed casinos that don’t require KYC right away, but don’t be misled, don’t assume they’ll never ask. The fact that they’re licensed means they still have the right to require KYC at any point, it’s just a matter of timing. That’s something we always have to be prepared for.

With so many restrictions now, some players are turning to ready-made KYC accounts being sold on social media just to get around the blocks and keep playing. On the surface, it sounds shady, but then again, what’s the alternative? For a lot of gamblers in restricted regions, it’s either that or don’t play at all.

If you think about it, casinos are already forcing stricter KYC, regulators are cutting off payment channels, and VPNs are everywhere.

So maybe it’s not surprising that people see buying a KYC account as the “lesser evil” compared to being shut out completely.

Buying or using a ready-made kyc account might look like a simple workaround but it’s loaded with risks on every side first of all from a legal and security standpoint those accounts usually belong to real people whose identities are being sold you might think you’re only using it to gamble but in reality you’re stepping into identity theft territory even if your intentions are harmless the act itself links you to fraudulent activity. Second there’s the issue of trust once you use someone else’s identity you lose control you don’t know who has access to the same account or what other purposes that identity is being used for you could deposit funds win big and then find yourself locked out with no way to prove the account is really yours worst case scenario you get flagged for fraud and the money is gone.

On a bigger scale this trend is dangerous because it feeds a black market industry every person buying these accounts keeps the cycle alive and makes it harder for regulators and casinos to distinguish genuine users from bad actors the more it grows the harsher restrictions will become and the less trust there will be between players and platforms. That said the fact this market even exists shows how restrictive the system has become when casinos and regulators lock out entire regions people will naturally look for loopholes vpn use is already common and account sales are just the next step but “natural” doesn’t mean safe it just highlights the disconnect between player demand and the rules being imposed.

Not everyone. There are some banned countries whose citizens cannot complete KYC verification, so they are forced to purchase a KYC-verified account.

For example, I live in a banned country, and most sites, including casinos and exchanges, do not allow KYC verification. So, I had to purchase a KYC-verified exchange account. It cost me about $30, but it's a big risk because the original account owner can reclaim their account at any time by providing legal documentation.

If you knowingly use a KYC account, it shows you understand the risk, so maybe you’d be okay if the account gets recovered. I still don’t think recovery will happen, though, because the people selling KYC accounts usually use details from folks who don’t care about gambling, either they got paid for it or, worse, the details were stolen.

So what do you think the real risk is?
There could be much bigger problems you haven’t even imagined yet.

First off, I like your title. It sounds like not gambling is something completely bad, worse than buying an account with a ready-made KYC. Whether or not to gamble is a strictly individual choice. There's nothing good or bad about it.

Regarding accounts with a ready-made KYC.

I don't see anything wrong with this, since gamblers are thus "fighting" for their privacy, which, by the way, each of us has every right to. But the current gambling system is under pressure from regulators, who are forcing gamblers to use KYC. In my opinion, this seems like an infringement on people's rights, particularly gamblers. The "system" imposes KYC, and gamblers, in response, seek alternative ways to "get around" it. Whether this is good or bad is a rhetorical question. But I wouldn't blame those gamblers who use such accounts only to preserve their right to privacy and don't exploit this "loophole" for illegal purposes.

Make sure that you ask the seller for their location, where you should log in after buying the account should also match the same location as the seller aka old user, what if the casino complain about suspicious login and ask you to submit some proof of location? Anyways the chances is very low for them to ask of such.

It is nothing new that some gamblers prefer using others KYC information to pass verification on online casinos but the idea of buying a KYC'ed account is not a good plan because you can't tell what the owner have done already with that account, there is also bad luck wagering to be considered, what if he is full of it? I prefer a fresh account and KYC it myself, either with someone close KYC details or my very own, I don't see anything bad in passing KYC on online casinos so I am just saying.

I think there are plenty of options available online. Of course, I agree with what TheUltraElite said, especially for platforms that don't require age restrictions. Yes, it's better to use your own account than to deal with withdrawals. Basic data is always verified by them if we use a backup account, even if we've taken over ownership from a friend or someone else. The potential for complications is very likely, and unwanted indications are also very high. Ultimately, this is quite a hassle for us.

[traderethereum]

This trend is dangerous because we don't know if a sold KYC account is clear or not. We can not risk that especially if we use much money to gamble. When the casino knows, they can easily block the account, and we cannot withdraw the money left.

If you are coming from a country on their ban list, you should not register at that casino but choose another casino. When the casino wants us to do complete verification, that will be a trouble to us because the data will not be the same as before.

Buying account whether it is already verified or unverified, it is not recommended at all because account sales is something against terms in most casinos so why should risking our money with bought account while we can simply use our own account? There is also a possibility to be asked KYC (again) later, so how can you do it? Some people may say something like to buy an account from our own relatives (friend or maybe familiy), but still it is not recommended.

This is the more reason why the casinos are become more suspicious of users and they waste no time in restricting a user. This is bad and I do not encourage it in any way whatsoever. And for those who buy KYC accounts, it is just as bad as cheating even if you have no ulterior motives. It is wrong. If you do not want to submit your kYC document, look for the alternative casinos that do not have a strict KYC submission requirements. This same thing applies to those who are in regions that are restricted. There are other options and they are legal. Casinos are business places and will not want to lose money that is why they frown at this.
