Gambling house responisbilty to protect people data

[harizen]

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.

I think that kind of law doesn't cover crypto-gambling sites even if the operation is under that certain country.

Besides, there's no need for such laws (don't get me wrong as it's really necessary at some point) as there's no way a gambling site will just post the name of the winners in public. I really never heard of that case on a gambling site. The only publicized jackpot winners are those who played live on television or in a game show.

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

I'm playing in casinos and the winners they published on casinos are all usernames there are no real names and country of origin this thing is not existing in Crypto casinos because they adhere to anonymity and privacy

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 ?

So far I don't know of any and you have not come out of the name of these casinos, if they do that many gamblers will stop playing on these casinos and that's their downfall, in the first place they sign up for anonymity not to get exposed.

This all entirely depends on where you're located in the world.  Some countries don't give a shit, other do, and very much so.  I don't know where I stand with all of the different gambling laws, and even though I think much of the tax, at leas that we get hit with her in the United States, especially Illinois is bullshit, it is the law to pay taxes and much of it does got to good causes, so I'm not so sure I think the reporting is wrong by the casinos.  If it's the law, they simply have to do what they are told or move elsewhere.

All of the casinos are only relying on the usernames, they're aware that they might get into trouble but still, they can get away with that even if they do it.
Some diplomatic people, they don't want to see some recognition from a casino for their wins because they want to hide their identity. Even in real life lottery, everyone who wins big have the choice whether to let themselves seen in public getting their money and be recognized or to remain silent and be completely anonymous.

[Solosanz]

Gambling houses are not allowed to reveal the identity of the person who won. Still, maybe the purpose of the casino revealing the winner's name in their casino is to tell the public who the winner is. But casinos should have thought carefully before they did because it could involve the winner's safety.

There's no written rule if the casino must not disclose the real identity of the winner. Why should the casino care? it's your life, the casino only have obligation to paid full winnings to the winner, they don't have any obligation to make the gambler is 100% safe.

But either way, the casino must inform the winner before they reveal their identity so that the winner can find out so they can allow the casino to do so or choose to keep it a secret.

As I mentioned before, the casino is the one who can do anything since their rule their money. If the gambler is really care with his privacy and doesn't want to expose their personal information in public, he can reject the prize.

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.

There's no rule about this but this actually depends on the which country that used by casino to operate. I meant you can see how EU has been implementing rule to protect the user's data. I guess there are also another countries who have been doing the same thing like EU.
The winner has right to choose whether he wants to keep his identity or not. This is always become the main concern by some people but online gambling may be unfamiliar with this kind of problem.

I don't even care whether that's scripted or not but the winner as the right for that.

This is what casinos should do in announcing the winners names using usernames instead of their real names. The casino can contact the winner privately so that it will not interfere with the winner's comfort in receiving the news that he has won some prizes.

That can help the winners to stay away from the public without getting noisy around them for their safety. The casino should think about that and not just think about its popularity. So yes, protecting the people's data, including the winners, will be the casino's responsibility.

[AicecreaME]

This really depends on the TOS of the casino you are playing. If it is already stated in the casino's policies that they will include the names, at least the usernames of those who won especially the big prizes, and you agreed with it, then you should not complain about it. Because most casinos put disclaimer in their rules already. Once you agree with it, there's no turning back. Now, if you happen to not read it, it's your fault and responsibility.

As far as I know, gambling website do not necessarily put your private information at risk because they just use in publishing and announcing the winners are their usernames which isn't their real name. It's just a pseudonym used by most people to hide their identity. If you did write your username using your real name, perhaps you might ask for their help to just put a name for you to sensor your identity. I think we can always try to negotiate things first if possible because you might even meet halfway and have an agreement that's with a consent of both parties.

Everyone is annoyed by the endless KYC requirements, and if the casino still prescribes the publicization of players who have received large winnings, then this is already too much, but there will certainly be players who will be quite satisfied with it, because large winnings are very rare and some people have a craving to become famous. But if the rules of the casino do not provide for publicity and they do it, then it is illegal and immoral.

Must gambling house present thier gamblers winning in cash many times back and some of them still involve this culture to the present days in gambling, I think going public is very common with the online casinos whereby they need to see the physical representation of the winner in person to come for his claim, aslo it depends on the type of games being gamble on, some were paid instantly in cash to the winner in the casino house, but there's a great challenge with bulkiness and security safety of the gambler.

those who want to be famous in gambling because of something like getting a big fortune or winning a jackpot, it is a very risky thing for their personal life

but again, gambling sites have a big role in protecting the personal data of their consumers and if the winner is willing to have his data published (when he wins the big bet or loses big) then it is not illegal because it is based on the consent of the person

KYC will continue to have pros and cons and we won't be finished discussing that

If the case is likely be settled between the casino and the gambler, then there’s no reason that it will still be brought to the court, it will only be a long process searching for the truth. But if the gambler has certainly experiencing some fears at the moment because of publishing his real identity, and if the casino will deny about it, then obviously it should be bring to the court and just wait for the final judgement.

^This also depends on the casino's ToS.
If you have agreed with the terms and this was on the term, there is nothing you can do to follow them. But if it is not, you have a right to protect yourself and I think they will respect on it. But in this case, usually, I have heard they mention most likely the user names but not your true name, probably that is enough to determine that there is a real player from the casino. They respect your decision if you did not reveal your identity and I think they will communicate your first about this.

If its not mentioned on their terms and conditions then you cant really fight up and they do have anytime have the rights on doing so or as they like.You cant present something in terms of evidences that they had

violated something which do really sucks since you cant present something that would justify your right but in overall sense which there should really be that privacy law which is standard.

Platforms shouldnt really be easily giving out exposure into someones identity and its true that these things could be settled and could be clarified in between the platform and the gambler itself.
If it didnt end up on a good terms then this is where legal actions would be made up.

Everything is choice because we all as gamblers have the right to privacy and our data need to be protected from the public which can cause a lots of damages from haters and enemies. Some gambling platforms always do this to attract gamblers to their platforms as a good platform that pay gamblers whenever they win bets or games.
 There is limit to the kind of news that need to be public because there are so gamblers that don't like for there names to be on social media for their friends or family to see that  they had big winnings.

I would agree with you to some extent if these platforms were unlicensed. I bet a crypto casino which got their license from UK Gambling Commission and operates there will be under heavy scrutiny if they violate GDPR.

Besides, there's no need for such laws (don't get me wrong as it's really necessary at some point) as there's no way a gambling site will just post the name of the winners in public. I really never heard of that case on a gambling site. The only publicized jackpot winners are those who played live on television or in a game show.

We never really know when casino owners would act foolishly and show people these names for marketing purposes. These laws are for mitigating controls.

You can always sue someone, so asking if you can go to court is pointless - of course you can. Whether you can win is another thing, but you can be sure that you can go to court

Should casinos be disclosing your data without your consent? Of course not. The problem is people often do what they shouldn't and get away with it, so I can't tell you if you'd win or not. It would probably come down to how far you can go with the court case, how good your lawyer is, how much money can you spend and such things.

[Sandra_hakeem]

I don't know why you guys still insist on making people's data public without the consent of the person OR without prior agreement that those infos will be publicized; AFAIK, that cannot happen as it's not in relation to any section of the casino's jurisdiction. A mere booking ID( those random figures on the tickets) could convince any inquisitive mind. I repeat, you can't force peeps to let out their informations so YES, they have every right to sue them if anything of that sort ever happens. There's always an agreement made prior the release of such huge funds.

If people wanted to become famous through gambling, they would probably be happy with the KYC at gambling sites. But the thing is that majority of people only want to gamble without disclosing who they are. How can they be happy, if the casino makes them in the spotlight and start marketing that this person has won this much amount of money? This is just beyond imagination.

I don't know if the legal provides covers to the gamblers on this matter, but one thing is for sure if any gambling site tries to do it with me to make my data exposed in front of the public, I may quit that casino forever.

There's no even consent to begin with as I don't believed gambling sites will just post their winner.

I don't even recall a gambling site who did that in the past.

Usually, gambling sites send emails to their subscribers and they will announced the winner there with the usernames instead of real name.
