What personal information crypto casinos actually require and when you can play completely anonymously.
It Depends on the Casino
Different casinos have different requirements:
Tier 1: Fully Anonymous
- Required: Nothing (or just an email)
- No KYC, no phone number, no real name
- How: Some casinos let you play with just a crypto wallet connection
- Example sites: Several crypto-native casinos listed on AllBets
Tier 2: Email Only
- Required: Email address
- No real name, no ID, no address
- Most common approach at Curaçao-licensed crypto casinos
Tier 3: KYC on Withdrawal ️
- To play: Email only
- To withdraw: Government ID, proof of address, sometimes a selfie
- Typical trigger: First withdrawal, or withdrawals above $2,000-$5,000
Tier 4: Full KYC Required
- Before playing: Full identity verification required
- Typical for: UKGC, MGA, and other Tier 1 licensed casinos

What Happens to Your Data?
At reputable casinos:
- Encrypted storage — your documents are stored securely
- Not shared with third parties (except regulators)
- Deleted after a retention period (varies by jurisdiction)
At disreputable casinos:
- Your data could be sold, leaked, or misused
- This is why choosing a licensed, reviewed casino matters
Privacy Best Practices
- Use a unique email for gambling — don’t use your primary email
- Enable 2FA on your casino account
- Choose no-KYC casinos if privacy is your top priority
- Read the privacy policy before submitting any documents
- Never send documents over unencrypted channels (no regular email or social media)
Our stance: You should only share personal information with casinos that have a valid license and strong privacy protections. If a no-name, unlicensed casino asks for your passport, that’s a red flag.
