You deposited with crypto and the site still wants ID. That is common. What they usually ask for, when it triggers, and how to send it without making the wait worse.
Why they ask after you already paid
A lot of people treat “crypto casino” as “no ID ever.” Then the first cash-out opens a form. The deposit went through. The account now wants a passport. That gap is the product, not a glitch.
Crypto lets them take the coins without a bank in the middle. It does not cancel anti-money-laundering rules on a licensed operator. Many brands skip the form at signup so you play. They pull it when money tries to leave, when the lifetime total crosses a line, or when a check flags the account.
“No KYC” on a banner usually means “not yet.” Read it that way and the email is less of a shock.
Withdraw steps sit in How to Withdraw Crypto from a Casino.
What they usually want
- A government photo ID. Passport is the cleanest. National ID or a driving licence if they list it.
- A selfie or a short liveness clip. Same face as the ID. Light on your face. No cap, no crop that eats the edges.
- Proof of address. Utility bill or bank statement, usually under 90 days, name and address readable.
- Source of funds only on bigger stacks. A statement that shows where the coins were bought. Not every account hits this.
Names have to match the account. If you signed up as a nickname, fix the profile before you upload, or the first pass fails.
How to send it without dragging it out
- Use their verification page. Not a random Gmail thread. Not Telegram.
- Whole document in the frame. No thumb over the number. No glare on the laminate.
- Colour photo. A black-and-white scan of a passport is how you earn a second request.
- One ticket if something is unclear. Ask which field failed. Do not attach the same blurry file four times.
- Wait for the status to flip before you fire a second withdrawal.
Do not send these files to Gambling Gods. We cannot approve you. We cannot see their queue.
Can you refuse?
Yes. Then they can refuse the cash-out. The coins stay on their books until the check is done or the account is closed on their terms. Walking away from a stack because you will not upload ID is a real choice. Make it before the balance is large.
Do not invent a name. Do not buy a “verified account.” That path is how people lose both the coins and the login.
How long the review takes
A clean first pack can clear the same day. A glare selfie plus a bill from last year can sit for days. Weekends are slower. A source-of-funds ask is the long one.
The blockchain is not the delay here. There is no transaction ID until they approve the withdraw. Pending KYC is still inside the casino. That difference is in the withdraw guide.
If the file gets rejected
Read the reason. “Unreadable” means reshoot, not a different passport. “Name mismatch” means the account or the document is wrong, not the lighting. “Expired” means a new ID. Reply with the new file in the same case.
FAQ
I used crypto so they should not need my address.
They still might. A wallet is a rail. A licence can still demand a person behind the account.
Will they keep my documents?
Operators keep records for compliance. That is their privacy policy, not ours. Read it on their site before you upload.
Does a VPN trigger KYC?
It can flag the account. It can also breach their terms. If the brand blocks your country, a VPN is not a workaround we will walk through.
Should I KYC before I deposit?
If the site lets you, yes. A small verified account is less painful than a fat pending cash-out.
