It appears that if the casino benefits from fraud so be it, but ask them to payout and it becomes one for "thorough investigation". How can this practice be justifiable?

This question - that seems to feed off of the pessimism that many players have - is a legitimate one, but it's easily answered.
If you have ever been in Vegas, you probably understand that the casinos there are successful mainly because of their easy access and location. You walk in - there is no check-in counter, no ID check, no dress code, it's wide open. Sure, there are signs "No Minors Allowed" but no staff checking IDs. Anyone can sit at a slot machine and feed it cash.
You can cash out coins, but in most cases it's a cash receipt which you need to bring to the cashier. No biggie - no ID.
But if your winnings are $1000 plus, then expect to produce your passport or DL, and you'll be signing forms from the US IRS.
Online is similar, asking for documentation would drastically slow down the sign-up process probably by days.
Be honest with yourself - I would guess that 99% of you would skip that casino and go to one that
doesn't require ID upfront.
So what are you complaining about?
