User id, why do you need it? What are the risks if someone else gets it?

Why do you ask for the user ID when a user wins a reward? Or when there is a specific problem to be solved with a player? I assume the user id is something important for parsing and managing an account right? That said, the question arises, is it safe to expose the ID publicly? In the following contest in the general community there is one that consists of posting the user ID to show that you are part of the King community,
https://community.king.com/en/blog/discussion/355002/join-our-kingdom-and-get-this-royal-badge#latest
but if you need the user id and use it when you need to do something about an account then it does not seem safe to me publicly post the id since all those who access the community whether they are players or not will also see it and maybe have privileged access to someone's account?
What type of privileged access does the Id grant? And in case it doesn't grant any of that then why is it required in the cases I cited?
What risks do I run if someone gains access to my ID number?

Welcome to the King Community 🥰
First, the Game ID is something that you won't have a problem with if you make it public because no one but only King star will have access to your account. But there is a complete difference between Game ID and Account ID and your account ID is completely your personal, if you share it with anyone you can lose your account. The only thing asked in the community is the game ID and you will not be harmed if you make it public.
You can find details about Game ID in the link below.
If you have any other questions let us know and we will try to help you with the correct information.
Thank you.

Your Game ID will be needed if you have a problem with your game or if you have won a reward from the Community. Each game has a specific ID and the game ID is required to determine which game has the problem or which game will go to the Rewards
Thank you..

"King Star"? What is that?
Well... if the userid means almost nothing to worry about why do you need it in the cases I mentioned? What exactly makes you need it?
