If this is true, your information is not safe

[ScamViruS]

This is old news about personal information being leaked from various sites, because I too have faced the same problem. I was targeted by scammers due to personal information being leaked not only from casinos but also from many other reputed sites. Many times, many sites sell our personal information for money, and we don't even know it until we get a scam call or email. So I think it's important to be aware of the reputation of the casino before doing KYC. Because casinos with a bad reputation never care about their customers, they even find ways to profit by selling customers' KYC information.

OP said it happened after completing the registration, so it’s not coming from scammers. Most likely it’s the website itself giving the info to their marketing team so they can call their gamblers and make them play more. Some agents even give you bonuses just so you’ll gamble. That’s their job, it’s marketing so gamblers will spend more money.

For me it’s not a scam, because we probably agreed to share our information without really reading their TOS.
But there’s always a way to avoid it,  just delete the account and they’ll stop. 

After he completed his KYC, he started receiving calls from unknown numbers, offering him various things, even high-interest loans. And those sites know the gambler who owns that number, because the gambling site selects that data in a specific way. That means they collect that database very carefully for the purpose of selling it.

Yes, we are lazy in reading TOS properly, which gives them the opportunity to exploit this laziness and make money by selling customers' personal information. Many fraudsters also purchase this database, and they use this database for many purposes. So I think we should not look at their work lightly as just marketing.

I think if something like this is happening, people need to be careful of KYC gambling sites because the gambling site can be selling their customers information and one day the information will get to scammers.

That can happen due to customer data hacking, not only at casinos. Apps installed on your phone also carry that risk. If an incident coincidentally relates to the KYC conducted at a casino, then perhaps there is something wrong with that casino. But not all casinos would do that. You may have seen phone numbers being sold openly on social media or in certain groups. They use those numbers for business purposes, offering products and even loans.

You don't have any idea what will happen next after you agree and entrust your KYC, behind the information you don't have any control anymore once you give them your data, the permission of using it is no longer in your control, and it's always best to research first before you agree and provide your personal data to any casino that you are planning to use and gamble around.

Yeah, I get it. I addressed that they can do whatever they want with it behind the scenes, but it depends on the casino. Even though we can't be too sure what will happen behind our backs, since we are not there to monitor it.

Some people prioritize their privacy no matter what, and I respect that because I also value it. But when it comes to gambling, I think finding a reputable casino could still help a bit, and research is also important. Unless you're a target, there's less chance someone will be interested in buying your KYC details, which I don't think they do, except a government might actually request it someday, or there could be leaks due to a hack., I

Every information save in an online device is total not safe even if a certain security is initiated to keep it safe But what explained in the message you use as an explained is something I barely experience through crypto casino and it's something that's possible if provided private information for social media account registration because they are know for selling their user information for marketing purposes.

[Satofan44]

Ironically, this is often the so called "licensed" websites that do this.
For instance, licensed casinos by the government licensing scheme in Greece have very scummy term clauses that you give them full permission to call you and share your phone with "partners". This is a full on GDPR violation but they don't care so long as this is not enforced.

Yeah and whose fault do you think that this is? If the system is broken and stacked against you, most people whine and blame someone else -- they do nothing to actually make a change. How many of them have even tried reporting a GDPR violation? How many have tried to sue if the competent authority did not act on the violation? It does not matter whether you think that something will work or not, it matters whether you have tried to do something about it. Furthermore, the phone number thing is so easy to avoid that it is a joke. Get a second phone number, use it on a secondary phone that is turned off. Use it only for these websites. There you go, problem solved by spending a total of 5 seconds of brain compute power.

But no, people prefer to complain like children instead of solving problems.

After he completed his KYC, he started receiving calls from unknown numbers, offering him various things, even high-interest loans. And those sites know the gambler who owns that number, because the gambling site selects that data in a specific way. That means they collect that database very carefully for the purpose of selling it.

That is a good theory, but it is just a theory. It could be a complete coincidence. Obviously if you think about probabilities in a proper way one will realize that every now and then it must happen by pure chance that someone starts receiving such calls after completing KYC somewhere. Welcome to the chaos of the universe. If he wants to be sure that it is some place, he must only give a unique set of data to that website such as an unique phone number. If the calls start coming in shortly after it was provided only to this website, then it is probably that website that is the cause. This would be a fairly decent test even if there are other reasons for which this might occur, like malicious apps on the phone that has this SIM card as someone mentioned.

I asked this because of this:

I’ve had the experience before, after completing KYC on a gambling website, I suddenly started getting calls almost every hour from unknown numbers. At first I had no idea where they got my number, but eventually I realized it tho. Some of the callers were even offering high-interest loans—probably assuming I was a desperate gambler.

I think if something like this is happening, people need to be careful of KYC gambling sites because the gambling site can be selling their customers information and one day the information will get to scammers.

Has this also happened to you before or user LastKiss might have gotten exposed somewhere else?

People should be careful when they submit KYC. First of all, they shouldn't submit KYC everywhere they are asked to submit. People should do some research which casino or any other website they visit and how trustworthy they are, then they should analyze whether it's okay to trust this company and submit KYC or not.
Others have suggested that on this forum that when submitting KYC, it's a good idea to add watermark to it. For example, if someone submits KYC to BC.Game, add a watermark of BC.Game and submit that way.
Also, when someone submits KYC and also has to use a phone number on the website, I think it's a good idea to have a second number for that. One number shared with family members and friends, real life people and the second number used for online services.

If what LastKiss said is true, then it's very sad what happened to him and in such cases, the name of the casino should be shared publicly to protect others from becoming a victim of such a shady business.

But on what grounds would a site you registered with be letting out your private information to a another third party without clearly informing the customer of such developments. Most things these sites do is to hide these part of the conditions that gives them outright right to share our information under their ToS where the user mind wouldn't go to, because they know that many users wouldn't intentionally agree to such practice with their data. Yeah, it may not be scammers they share those information to but it's still goes against the privacy of the users beyond the extend he was willing to expose his data.

Sometimes our info usually get compromised from where we don't expect. It may not necessarily be compromised from the Gambling site where they hold our information, but in any other place where we register online with our KYC documents. About second to the last paragraph where you talked about us being careful of our KYC documents sothat gambling site will not sell it, I want to let you know that no matter how we are careful we can never be totally free from such thing like that because we will definitely expose our KYC document to the casino knowingly and unknowingly. We should just pray we don't fall victim otherwise no one is exempted provided your info is regularly used for online KYC.

[Tigerheart3026]

is there are any way to find out you that our information is misused in any platform like derk web? i need to know that, because i used my identity or personal information in many platforms, i completed kyc in several centralized exchanges, and many airdrops project,
but i don’t know those platform are abusing with my information, even i heard a few times in article our data's are selling in dark web sites, so i'm always worried about that matter.

You can’t verify it manually but a sign will be a random casino sending you email or sms regarding their casino updates even though you don’t register account on their casino.

I remember there’s some issue before that some casino sharing or selling their customers contact info such as email or mobile number to other casino.

This scheme is very popular before since lots of casino back then just come and exit scam later on. But right now, you can rely on reputable casino that they will protect your data.

my email box i seen a lots of spam messages from many unknown platform or agencies but i never sign in their websites that means my email address is already sold because how they got my email address without my provide to them, number is also selling because i sign up in many platform with my phone number in our local e-commerce platform, so they selling information then i got random messages a lot.

Well for if you're having some kind of trust issues for the gambling sites it's best not to gamble because if you can't go through KYC processes there's chances that you'll most likely not get paid when you win a huge sum. It's more or less the basic criteria needed for gambling,Probably when this happens you must've been victim of the wrong gambling sites so your contact is open to those scammers, and it happens unexpectedly sometimes from ads we mistakenly have clicked.

That's why it is very important for you to know the people you are dealing with before undergoing the process of kyc. Knowing who you are working with before you start the KYC check is a smart move, because you could get scammed by the who misuse your information.

When you begin a KYC process, you would be asked to hand over your personal details, and sometimes even financial details. And if you haven't verified who you are dealing with, you leave yourself open to fraudsters who might use your credentials to commit some financial crimes and so on.

Imagine their system was hacked and my data was stolen, well, the interval was too short, I completed KYC, and only a couple of hours later someone called me offering high-interest loans. I know not every casino does this, because I’ve completed KYC on other platforms without having the same experience. And this isn’t even the first time something like this has happened. Once, after finishing KYC on a new exchange, I got a similar call almost immediately.

If they're only offering some products not illegal high interest loan I'm fine with that

Actually in this situation if we don't really believe then maybe looking for other options by not doing KYC can be a solution but if we don't gamble that's even better but I doubt if active gamblers can stop quickly because of this.
The most important thing in the KYC problem I think is that it depends on the trust in the site we are playing, if they have great trust and they are trusted then if you still can't give up gambling maybe it's okay to do this because for now we will also be very difficult to find a site without KYC in it because it is like a standard rule that must be done.

The choice of site is important when we are on a site that only wants profit then doing KYC is ridiculous so choose a site that really has better public trust even though the risk is still there but we can at least be more comfortable there.

Before our kyc is not save at all ,do you know that sports betting company has access to our account at anytime, nomater how much is their for you ,they can remove the money at anytime,how I know is I won a bet worth 6millions but the winning ticket has not reflect in my account,I don't know that the bet has reflected but they purposely removed the money, thinking I will not monitor the game till ,I chatted them and I told them that I have won a game but not reflected,I sent the id of the game,before they released the game and the money in it, before I know it ,one of their workers started calling me to give him money.

If your experience involved a very short period of time after you completed KYC at the casino, without any other activity on any platform, something is likely wrong with the casino where you did the KYC. It is also possible that the casino has collaborated with another party to offer high-interest loans.
I personally have not had such an experience. My situation could have been quite bad if this had happened to me in the past. Instant loans combined with gambling addiction are a ticking time bomb ready to explode.

[Dick Long]

It's very rear depending on the site where the registration is done, and the phone settings may be vulnerable due ads activated on the phone and using browsers that are not properly secured in terms of security can leads to this.
Some of this loan site linked to some if the the gambling sites

This did showed there is an obvious compromise from the casinos, or the casino could be the owners of the loaning business so they will want to get their customers on two ends all at once and that will definitely not sit well with the compromise they are exposing the customers data to, even if it is that they are the ones in charge of the leading platform, it still does not make sense enough that such is happening with the data of a supposed customer of your other platform who may not be aware of your lending platform.

In such situations, if you have substantial evidence on the compromise in your information, you can actually take legal actions against the casino because it was supposed to be confidential and not for them to make it available to other members of the public, this is a call for us to be careful with the platforms we use and how much information we get to share to them sometimes.

What do you mean on what grounds? Nobody needs any ground to do something, regardless of whether it is legal or not. In many cases there is no regulation to protect you from this, in other cases you have accepted some terms that you didn't read that give them the permission to do these things and in the final group of cases they do it - knowingly breaking the laws or without permission. The people are the ones that are naive and uneducated about these things. They think that a business will treat them like a family member or something.   Meanwhile, 99% of the customers are completely replaceable and meaningless. You are nothing more than a number to them, they will try to make as much money off of you as they can.

If you want to submit KYC and know where a data leak came from, then there are methods that can be employed. This requires education and skill, things that most people in crypto are not willing to acquire. Furthermore, this would only help with the actual leaking of documents. If they read data off of submitted documents or input fields and pass it along to someone else, these protections are worthless. You can not practically find out who leaked your phone number if you are using the phone number on many number of services. Any employee that has access to it, the website itself or any hacker could take it from there and you would not be able to prove that.

[TastyChillySauce00]

Suspecting gambling site to sell their customer data is not wrong. However, this thing ever happened to me, and it's caused by the insider of bank sells my data to the marketing vendors for the promotion purpose. I got call by random numbers almost everyday.

So i think before assuming the gambling site that sells his data, the better he to checked everything before. Who knows your friend gets almost the same case to me.

[tygeade]

Data is one of the most valuable things in the world right now, so of course when you share your information it is going to get used. However, KYC and phone number is not the same, Op mentions someone got calls from others after they signed up, which means their phone number was shared, not their Kyc data.

KYC is a bit different because we are talking about your ID information, literally very secure and sensitive info, not like your phone number, you can change your phone number, you can't change who you are. So that is why I think KYC is mostly done with third party companies and try to be not kept in any data centre for those companies, they just send it to governments to make sure you are ok and not some criminal.
