Dataskydd och verifiering

Hej alla, jag är intresserad av att veta hur dataskyddssituationen är, oavsett om det är på ett kasino, vadslagningsleverantör eller onlinepoker.

Som vanligt måste du alltid verifiera dig. Men då kommer leverantörerna och säger att vi behöver dina dokument. Även din elräkning eller något liknande. Ditt ID-kort (riktigt läskigt). Numera finns det till och med leverantörer där jag kan verifiera mig själv med mitt bankkonto via internetbank.

Personligen tycker jag att det borde räcka. När allt kommer omkring ska en bank vara pålitlig. Jag tror också att det finns mycket färre klagomål och krångel med onlineleverantörer.

När det gäller dokument (pass/id-kort), hur är dataskyddssituationen? Ingen vet vem som har tillgång till deras personuppgifter. Vad händer med den?

Om du flyttar, kanske till och med till ett annat land, vad händer med verifieringen?

Hello Cidalia1900!

Let me share what I have learned thus far, though to be honest, data protection is generally a very complex topic. Should also be based on the current GDPR requirements.

Well, providing ID is nothing unusual and if you play in decent casino - based on your account details, I would expect GGL-licensed sites I guess you don't worry. Being able to verify through baking identity is a really good feature; on the other hand, I'd say especially off-shore casinos missing a concrete German license would have real troubles using details stored through German banks.

Basically only the required staff should be able to get to your personal details and solely for the strictly set purposses. Ask the casino for such details, because it depends on various aspects.

Additionally, if you move to another country, at least your address will very likely change, which will require new verification. Best approach is to discuss details with the casino support in advance.

To learn more about GDPR, try to get to the official source:

"The Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), known as Bundesdatenschutzgesetz in German, is a crucial piece of legislation governing data protection and privacy in Germany."

Tack så mycket för svaret. Ja, jag tror att det är som du beskrev. Annars skulle det bli en hel del juridiska problem.

You are welcome. I'm glad you asked.

Quite often I see how deeply players are concerned whether casinos approach their sensitive data accordingly and I think it is wise to be cautious. Since gambling has always been recognized as something more or less controversial, such thoughts may have crossed our minds. 🙂

I think you mention very good points too, and I agree that we would see many more incidents if the regulations weren't adhered to. On the other hand, avoiding unnecessary risk, like avoiding unlicensed casinos with weird feedback, is part of healthy gambling habbits.
