March 30, 2009 Online Casino News:
Who Has Your Info?
For many online casino players, they
worry about security, but they assume
that their casino has taken care of
protecting their information. They
assume that once they are done with an
online casino that they cancel their
account and their information is
destroyed – and that no one has access
to it except those that they have
explicitly given permission to. However,
as it turns out, they have been assuming
incorrectly.
The European Parliament has started
formal discussions in regards to online
information – who has access, and who
doesn’t – and who shouldn’t but does.
There are many instances across the
board that there are people out there
that spend their days trying to hack
into the online casino systems to get
credit card and personal information
about players – and are able to do so
because there is no real regulation in
place. The EP says that they want to see
“more stringent and efficient means of
user data protection” and many say that
it can’t come soon enough.
There are numerous cases out there where
players had their information lifted off
of the online casino’s books, and they
didn’t even know it until it was too
late. The online casino industry then
informs the patrons of the occurrence,
but there needs to be a way to stop it
from happening in the first place.
In the United States the online casino
industry spent years trying to fight the
government’s attempts at regulating the
industry, but now they are asking them
to do so, as are their patrons. For
their part, online casino users can take
some matters into their own hands. If
they chose to protect themselves, they
can ask the online casino to delete
their account when they stop playing,
and have them clear out all of your
personal information. You should also
ask any payment agencies that they are
using to do the same thing.
