Gambling house responisbilty to protect people data

[AmoreJaz]

Since you already won the money most probably you can file a case against that site because they didn’t respect your privacy and put you at a bigger risk. Exposing your personal data after winning will make your life at risk, people might start looking for you because of that money. The site should not do this without your consent, or they can just use a nickname to at least protect you from any harm.

the OP should give some examples of this situation. because in this forum, i haven't seen exposing privacy details of the winners. most of the time, it is only the username of the person. but not personal details.
but if this is not respected, certainly, you can file a lawsuit especially if your safety is at risk. because public knowing the amount of your winnings will give them idea and some may form a bad plan towards your winnings.

Right, the usernames are given if they've won big money. There's no personal information that's included but if that's seems to be a big issue for anyone, I think that they have the right to be sensitive on it.
There's too much data being shown to the public these days but I think on this matter, it's totally and entirely different from those that they should worry about.

Ideally, gambling houses should not disclose the identity of the person who won big without first asking him. Unfortunately, this is not respected always.

You have to be specific you've used the word always so there should be names of casinos that abuse their players by posting their real names but so far all we can see are usernames and you're username is not an indication or even proof that your can go to court and tell the court that there is abuse, unless you've used your real name as your username.

Those gamblers who do not want their information to be public, but the gambling houses make their names public, can go to the court of law as this is a serious offense. Gamblers can claim damages to the gambling site on this basis. Do you think gamblers should take the help of courts in this case ?

If this happens and it is not on their terms you can charge them in court but be sure you have the means for a long battle because casinos especially the popular ones can go on a long court battle.

This is one thing that is often overlooked by gamblers as they move to check out new sportbooks and casinos. While the funds contained and in the security of the gambling company are very high priority for hackers, identity documents are also very valuable and prized by fraudsters who can use them to abuse all sorts of financially related transactions. You should definitely give a lot of thought of who you are handing your information over to, because if you are giving your information to sites based in China for example - it's likely that such documentation could also wind it's way into the archives of the oppressive CCCP government for future abuse in various ways.

[Slow death]

A well known gambling house who has been in the business for more that 10years should understand how unsafe and how not being discreet about such huge winning might attract wrong eyes. Hence, while the gambling house is seriously investigated by policing and licensing bodies, others should be able to know the fate that befalls any gambling house caught exposing peoples data.
Compensation should even be paid to the persons whose data was exposed.

I agree with you, but the problem is that online casinos do not have headquarters and are anonymous and even the owner of the casino is someone anonymous, how will the police find the casino to arrest the owner or managers of the casino if they are anonymous? and to make matters worse is that casino could be selling people's documents and people won't find out, they could be doing it for years without anyone finding out

the truth is that most people are more concerned about creating account in new casinos that give high bonuses, the bonus has blinded people, even if you ask people to do research about the casino first, people just won't listen and will create new casino account because they want high bonuses

[Vaskiy]

In online gambling we haven't got much incidents in which the people's information revealed. In offline lottery events the authorities used to reveal the winner information and it is way to increase the trust of the people that someone have won the lottery and it isn't scammed.

In some cases this identity reveal is a big problem to the winner. Recently in my country an auto rickshaw driver won a bumper lottery, once after his win he wasn't able to live peacefully. Because, people started following with expectation of financial aid.

When username is been given then you wouldnt really see any issues yet these are just aliases and even if its proclaimed into the public then there's no way that people would find out your identity.
Unless if the said platform would really be releasing out those names which is something that cant really see thats happening in the market.When it comes to privacy protection then it do just
turns out to be a default thing.Platforms does have their terms and conditions and also those privacy terms which those informations been accumulated
is really safe on their side but everything isnt an assured thing for it to happen.

Before being ended up in that situation, can you give examples of that gambling house that publicly mentioned their winners? I think that's not a usual case as there are even times that even if someone won big, there's no prompt given to all users on that gambling house.

Besides, if we talk about crypto-gambling, there's no KYC at some point. Even if it has, I don't see yet a case where after a crypto-site asks KYC for their big winners, they will reveal to the public the identity of the winner.

Can you give more details about your topic?

Hard to give a response to this as I think it's only the lottery that is being public their winners and that's only for certain countries.

Where did you get that idea, OP? I think no there is no gambling house yet that is doing that kind of action.

If you are subscribed to some gambling sites, the winner of huge amount is always mentioned on their username, and not on real names.

[Pierre 2]

In my ideal perfect world, it is the best thing to hide your identity if you hit something like a million dollar or more. Big money comes with big troubles. Gambling companies may like to advertise their winners - but its big issue. Some countries have very strong mafias (especially South America) and you can be easily targeted. They may steal from you, they may threaten your family etc. I rather prefer hidden identity.

[Plaguedeath]

Is there any rule if the casino must not disclose the identity of the person who win big amount of money? If it's written on their terms of service, you can archive it and then make a report to your local court. IMO there's no casinos who say they wouldn't disclose the identity of the person because the reason they do this to make people know the winner is human and they're just want being transparent. If the casinos didn't disclose the identity, you can expect people will say the winner is scripted etc.

[SirLancelot]

Are pertaining to online casino? Because this identity doesn't matter online since no one can identify your exact details such as where the winner  live, full name and whereabouts since casino willpnly announced the winners name and that's not enough to doxxed unless the winner is posting it on his social media account. It will be hassle to file case on court against the casino since the winner country might be different on the casino hq. And also it will took a lot of resources to file a case and find a lawyer that will handle this kind of international case.

User has the right to file a case but it's just a waste of money and time to pursue it if the winner lives on different country. This is only possible for land based casino.

OP didn't mentioned if it's online or offline but he only said gambling houses so maybe he is referring to both types and I think I have seen a few online casinos before where they featured the winners in public. Even though some winners are scared for the things that can happen to them, they still won't bother filing a case due to the reasons that you said.

What important about them for now is that they win big and they can still use that money to be able to protect themselves. They can hire security, or transfer to a new place. This can be crazy but I think some even use the money to change their name and maybe face. There are reports on the past where a lottery winner did some of these things.

This is the way things should be but we also know that many time the regulations and the laws do not precisely make the most sense, the protection of the personal information of their customers should be one of the priorities of most casinos, especially since we are talking about a market in which most people care about their privacy and do not like the idea of being exposed, as this could put them at risk not only of criminals but even oppressive governments could go against them if they find out they use bitcoin and they gained a lot of it recently.

Suffice to agree with what you say, because as long as I have been on several gambling sites because I like online gambling, I have never once seen that the site provides personal winning data besides maybe there are several Username lists and it is still quite reasonable but for personal data that else I've never even seen that.

Before we can conclude about that protection of data we should assure first if the casino is trusted and trying to comply some requirements to make their business legal. But if casino is just implementing that for nothing and they don't have good reputation since they are new then maybe providing our KYC information is not really safe since we don't know if they can handle it well or they are honest and did not want to do anything bad what we provide to them.

[Peanutswar]

We have to can now with the Data Privacy Act that they need to comply for the authenticity, certificate, and regulations about the collected data came from their users that's the season why it is good to play only to those registered, trusted and reliable gambling casino only.Because they process and follow the law that comply to operate. Once the casino have a data breach there's a chance that you can file a case in the court.

in my country the law on privacy has been passed and those (be it companies, groups or individuals) who share personal data of a person can be sentenced to prison.
indeed announcing the winner to the public is part of marketing but it would be nice if the gambling business manager only mentioned a pseudonym or on online gambling sites only mentioned the account name.
many are harmed by their personal data information that is publicly disclosed, personal data is more valuable than gold.

[Yogee]

I think that there's no specific regulation about that.....

Just take it easy. I think that publishing identity is not even being regulated by regulators.

How about the Data Privacy laws enacted? The European Union has GDPR and I'm pretty sure other countries outside also have their own version of it. What I'm saying is that it depends on where these casinos are operating or where their license come from. You'll have strict implementation of data privacy law if it's from Europe.

On general sense then it should really be standard that it should really be strict when it comes to implying these laws towards business platforms or companies who had been asked out with these documentations on which it should really be kept away from possible exposure or exploits.Its true somehow that imposing or implementing levels do really differ on each country
which there are some who are really that too strict and there are ones who are just too loose on implementing these laws.
This is why as a user then its not really something that we would really be that confident once we do sent out our identification on what site we are dealing with.

[Yatsan]

'House' implemented it so therefore they'd be accountable with it. This is the doubt which worries the gamblers; giving personal information to gambling website. All of us are ofcourse sfraid that our personal infos might leak and worse is to be used in illegal activities which might reflect to our records as an individual and citizen of a country.

Unfortunately, gambling is not supported by governments of some countries. But to counteies wherein it is legal, gbling sites which freely operates are registered and are being taxed such as here in my country, if I'm not mistaken. They'd be required to do so because their gambling sites would be banned in an instant unless players would use VPN to gain accessibility but that won't avoid problems in the future in terms of transactions which might result to conflicts afterwards.
