Anyone actually cashed out from Stay Casino without sending ID?
Sceptical too, mate. Offshore shop taking Aussies, they'll want ID before any cashout clears, I'd bank on it. Every offshore place I've played the KYC turned up the moment you asked for a withdrawal, no way around it. Keen to be proven wrong though.
Bonus taken, wagering cleared.
sometimes I’ll be driving out past Cairns and see these old signs for pubs, and they still have the same worn paint, just like those old slots I used to play. freo mate you’re probably right about the id bit though, anything offshore taking Aussies in will absolutely want the papers before they clear a withdrawal, it’s just how the whole cycle works, been through this before. i reckon you won't find a sneaky way around the kyck check if you want your cash out.
It's all hit and busted before, folks.
FreoMate summed it up. Unlicensed offshore shop, no local regulator to complain to, they'll demand ID the second you hit withdraw and you'll be sending passport pics into the void. Got a cashout screenshot from anyone who skipped KYC there? No? Then I'm believing it when I cash out, and only then.
Licence first, deposit after.
Maybe I'm being dumb here but when LeeManly says unlicensed, do they mean no licence anywhere at all, or just none recognised here? 🤔 Still learning bonuses and all this, and I only put a small deposit in last month. If KYC always comes up at withdrawal, is it even worth sending my passport pics offshore? 😬
Learning to clear wagering, go easy 🙏
Fair question, no worries. It usually means no licence a local regulator recognises, since these offshore shops hold their paperwork overseas where nobody here can help you if things go sideways. Either way, expect to send ID before any withdrawal clears, that's been my experience everywhere offshore. Ah well, we grind on 😉
Busted more than you've deposited 😉
Someone asked who's actually skipped KYC there and the thread has gone quiet, which tells you plenty already.
To answer Mike's question properly, offshore places usually do hold some sort of licence from somewhere like Curacao. Problem is if they decide your cashout isn't happening, you've got nobody local to escalate to. ACMA can't make an offshore operator pay up. So when people say "unlicensed" they really mean licensed somewhere useless to you.
My prediction on Stay Casino: yes, ID will be demanded before the first withdrawal, probably after they've already told you it was approved. That's the classic move. I'd want to see an actual proof of payout screenshot from an Aussie player before anyone puts serious money in. No cashout proof, no belief. If anyone here has one, post it.
Licence first, deposit after.
BetGod's got a point about frozen balances, but "send ID upfront" to an offshore shop? That's exactly what they want. Once they've got your licence and a utility bill, they've got everything, and there's no local regulator to complain to if it goes wrong anyway.
FreoMate said KYC hits the moment you withdraw, which matches my experience with these places. Nobody in this thread has actually posted a cashout that went through clean without docs, and until someone does, my answer stays the same. Got a cashout screenshot? Show me a withdrawal cleared, docs or no docs, and I'll eat my words. Otherwise it's all "they'll probably let you slide" talk, and probably doesn't pay the rent in Darwin.
Hype isn't a payout.
CairnsKid nails why I'm cautious with these offshore shops, once the docs are out there's no walking it back. My rule is simple: I never leave a balance sitting there hoping KYC will magically clear, whatever I've got left after wagering gets pulled as soon as I can. That means yes, I'd rather hand over ID on my terms than have a withdrawal frozen mid-queue while I'm scrambling for a utility bill. Anyone here actually had a payout go through there, or still dead silence? 😭
500x one day, zero the next. Classic.
