How to Play on a traditional Crypto Casino from the USA (Instant Withdrawals and No KYC)

Opening Thoughts

Roughly half of the posts in here, and in the other sweepstakes subreddits that I moderate, are related to redemption issues. There always seems to be something causing an issue for someone, resulting in delayed redemptions or even non-payment. Personally, I have no idea if the users are causing the issue or if the casino is purposely trying to be difficult, all I know is that it doesn’t have to be that way.

If you are someone who takes advantage of the free daily SC and AMOE from sweepstakes casinos and only buys packages that are discounted, then feel free to stop here, as this guide isn’t going to provide any value for you. But if you are someone who is a medium to high roller, then I would highly recommend making the change.

I understand that sweepstakes casinos are super easy to deposit on, but redemptions tend to be such a grueling process for most people, to a point where players just decide to continue playing and lose it all. Remember, sweepstakes casinos have to honor AMOE to be considered “legal”. While I have no idea how much these casinos are “losing” from AMOE, it is surely a large number. This paired with chargebacks makes it very difficult for a casino to offer instant redemptions and a meaningful VIP program. Instead, they rely on cheap Facebook ads to keep growing and suck every dime out of its existing players.

Crypto casinos offer a completely different experience for gamblers. No KYC, instant withdrawals, solid VIP programs, etc. It’s like night and day compared to sweepstakes casinos. With crypto casinos, the barrier to entry is EXTREMELY low, so the competition is VERY high. This is great for players, as crypto casinos will always strive to provide the best experience and value to stay ahead of its competitors. If they don’t, then they will drown in the sea of other crypto casinos.

Requirements

Shuffle.com Account (google auth)

Exodus Wallet (desktop, mobile or web3)

Crypto.com Account (mobile only)

Urban VPN Extension (connect to Finland)

Process

Step 1: Create a Crypto.com account

Step 2: Purchase Solana using a debit/credit card or Apple Pay

Step 3: Download Exodus Wallet

Step 4: Withdraw the Solana from Crypto.com to your Exodus Wallet

Step 5: Download Urban VPN

Step 6: Connect to Finland

Step 7: Create an account on Shuffle.com (google auth)

Step 8: Send the Solana from your Exodus Wallet to your Shuffle.com Solana deposit address

Step 9: If you win, follow this process in reverse

Tips

Be consistent by using the same method to deposit and withdraw (ie to and from the same address)

Try to keep all transactions under $10,000 in order to stay under the radar (although I don’t believe Shuffle cares-- for now)

Do not keep any substantial amount of crypto in your Exodus Wallet

Shuffle.com is currently in the midst of its second airdrop campaign (of three), so you will eventually receive a token airdrop (claimable on site) based on your wager activity

Final Note

Wagered volume on Shuffle.com is now averaging over $1bn per month, so you should never be concerned of them not honoring a withdraw. Additionally, they are backed by a number of notable VC firms, so they are definitely well funded.

I still believe that Stake.com or Stake.US (if you’re from the US) are the safest when it comes to getting paid out on big wins, as Stake is unquestionably the biggest crypto casino group. I also believe that Duelbits.com has the best VIP program, especially for new players (rakeback starts at 30%).

But the reason why I’m confident that Shuffle.com is the best for USA players wanting to play on a traditional crypto casino, is due to their funding and the fact that I have yet to see a single complaint about a player’s account being locked due to KYC (I have also played there quite a bit with no trouble). This is always the biggest concern when it comes to playing on crypto casinos while using a VPN and it seems that Shuffle.com is turning a blind eye for now. Granted, this could change in the future, as the same used to be true for Stake.com and other notable crypto casinos.

Disclaimers

I have no affiliation with Shuffle.com. My friends have been farming the airdrop for well over a year and I always ignored it… until recently. Had I known they were so relaxed on KYC, I would have played there exclusively. Whoops.

I understand that there are a few sweepstakes casinos with instant withdraws, but all of them (except for Stake.us) have lower RTPs, a terrible VIP program, or both.

If you want to play it 100% safe and still get the benefits of a traditional crypto casino, I would recommend Stake.us. They are continuing to roll out fiat payments, but I believe most people only have the option to use crypto. The only downside is, you have to KYC and you won’t be eligible for Shuffle’s airdrop campaigns. Additionally, they cap the amount you’re able to deposit in one day to $9,000 (fine for most people-- but not for all). Finally, and potentially most importantly, you never know if your state is next to be banned on Stake.us, so it would be a shame to work towards a high VIP level and then have that stripped from you.

Most traditional crypto casinos, including Shuffle, have a Curaçao gaming license. While there could be a risk that Curaçao reforms their gaming regulations to be more strict (which they’ve been talking about for years), in the end it won’t matter. For traditional crypto casinos, a gaming license is nothing more than a formality. They don’t actually need a license to operate and game providers are willing to provide game keys to unlicensed casinos (although under different terms).

I sent you a DM, I’m gonna check em out!

3

Why connect to Finland specifically and not some other country?

4

Shuffle makes you enter a name and address prior to depositing …

5

Chumba is absolutely horrible

6

Does it have to be exodus wallet or could it be say any hardware or similar wallet?

7

Just wondering if using a wallet is necessary. I found I could buy eth through robinhood then directly transfer to SHUFFL.

8

Anyone know any onchain crypto casinos. Specifically ones like betfury where you used to mine bfg tokens while playing that earned divs. Looking for one like that or similar really. Been playing bc game cuz hit so good there but not hit good since bear market started really. Hoping that’s about to change again as tokens shoot up. That’s when I did real good last cycle.

9

hey bro thanks for the guide, is exodus needed? or can i use a alternative such as Phantom?

10

If you are 18 and from the US with a US ID, but on Shuffle an address set to Canada, If they ask for 2nd step verification can you submit your US ID?

11

Okay but luckybird.io is really really good minimum bet is .0001 sc so I can get a crazy progressive strategy going with not much money at all

12

Shuffle is going to be going to KYC within the year. Trust me

13

I personally have never claimed that you won’t get KYC’d if you use a VPN, I just said you don’t need to KYC to play on the site. I also said that there is a small chance you get KYC’d (ie losing the KYC lottery), which is also true. But if you are consistent with your deposits and withdrawals, to and from the same wallet, the odds of your account getting restricted are minimal to none. This isn’t financial advice, this is just street advice.

Now, the part of this whole thing that you might not understand is that a majority of their revenue is generated from US citizens. So until the DOJ truly cracks down on online casinos (similar to what they did with Binance), the show will go on. There are ways to prevent users from accessing your site via a VPN and there are also geolocation checkers. All of these casinos have neither.

I’ve been playing on Stake for 4 years, have $67mm wagered, with wins over $700k, and never get got KYC’d. Same goes for Duelbits, Gamdom, Roobet, Chips, and Shuffle. The only site I was KYC’d on was Rollbit, where I was able to use my US ID (which I don’t think works anymore).

Does this mean the same will happen for you? Absolutely not. But what I am saying is that with Shuffle in particular, my understanding is that they currently aren’t KYC’ing anyone. Maybe if you’re blatantly trying to launder money by depositing a shitload of money, playing dice for exactly 1x wager, then withdrawing to a different wallet, and doing this multiple times, then yeah, they might KYC you. But I literally haven’t seen a single complaint and have checked with many people about this. Nobody that I know has gotten KYC’d yet.

Could Shuffle’s stance on KYC verification change? Of course there is a possibility. But if you make an account now, there is also a chance that you get grandfathered in to their “no KYC” bucket, especially if you wager a lot. The last thing they want to do is lose a lose a whale.

As I’ve mentioned in previous posts/comments, if you are concerned about getting KYC’d, then you could always apply for a Palau ID. My understanding (again, from talking to others) is that this should work for most casinos, but I’ve never had an account restricted pending KYC verification, so I couldn’t tell you myself. There are a few other countries that offer ID’s similar to Palau’s Digital Residency Program that could be worth looking into as well.

And finally, as I mentioned in this post…

If you want to play it 100% safe and still get the benefits of a traditional crypto casino, I would recommend Stake.us.

No specific reason other than I’m able to access the site and Pragmatic isn’t blocked. There are plenty of other countries that could work too.

15

Hmmm yeah I do see that. Seems to be something they added as “proof” that they KYC’d everyone. You can just use details from here: https://www.fakenamegenerator.com/

All you need to do is make sure that you pick a country that isn’t restricted, even if you use a different country for a VPN.

Again, this is not financial advice, it’s street advice. Shuffle could change their requirements at any time, but realistically speaking, there’s a way of getting around everything.

16

100% true. After checking out this list of top platforms, I can’t even look at those hybrid sites with bouncing little characters anymore, lol.

17

I don’t think you can access the site from Australia without a VPN.

18

Any hot wallet that supports Solana. Hardware wallets like Ledger, Trezor or Gridplus are totally fine too.

The purpose of this guide was to give everyone one option for every step, so you didn’t have to do any guessing.

19

Yes. Otherwise you risk getting banned from Robinhood and/or triggering KYC verification on Shuffle. Less concerned about the latter, but many crypto casinos check where the crypto is coming from and Robinhood’s wallet addresses are known (see below).

Just make sure not to hold your crypto in the Exodus wallet for an extended period of time. Don’t want to risk, for example, losing your crypto by connecting to a public wifi that’s been compromised by a hacker.

Shuffle is doing an airdrop based on gameplay, but that’s coming in two months so you’d be late. Chips is mining, but the token isn’t tradeable and it now takes a lot more wagering to get a token than it did years ago.

Gambly I believe is the only where you might actually have an opportunity to make money from “mining” the token… but I believe it works in the point system. I still haven’t looked into it much yet, only made an account.

They also manage Retardio Casino (Milady related), but I don’t believe they have the opportunity to earn tokens there. I could be wrong… I just haven’t looked into this shit in a while. I saw a few big accounts following them on Twitter though.
