In my opinion, if you are afraid of KYC, you shouldn't be even gambling on such platforms at all, because you have to keep in mind your personal data can be asked by the casino at anytime, despite placing low or high bets, winning small or big money. It can be quite frustrating to have won a decent chunk of money, while being unable to withdraw because you don't want to go through the identification procedure.
I partially agree. Gamblers need to know that KYC can be requested at any time, understand? That's a fact. The problem is when the casino only decides to demand documents after the player wins, or uses KYC as an excuse to withhold withdrawals.
The frustration isn't just with the process itself, but with the lack of transparency. If the rules were clearer from the beginning and KYC was requested right at registration, a lot of headaches would be avoided.
