why do some online casinos have way stricter password requirements than others?
Was setting up a new account the other night and had to make a password with two symbols, upper and lower, a number, and no repeats. Felt like I was breaking into Fort Knox just to play a few slots. On another site last week, they let me use something real basic and didn't even force a special character. Wondering if they're following some regulation in one region or if it's just up to the IT/security teams. My “later” pile has fewer post-its than I have passwords. Curious what everyone’s seen on this.
Regulation is part of it, but some crypto casinos crank up the rules just to reduce support headaches from account takeovers.
The difference mostly comes down to how serious the site is about security and whether it cares about regulations. Casinos that actually value protecting balances (especially where crypto or fiat goes in fast like roulette) usually set the bar higher, while shadier ones just want your signup. I get why you’d keep a pile of password post-its though - these requirements can feel like a puzzle no one asked for.
