Online Casinos Accused of Foul Play

24th October, 2009

An casino review site from Australia has hit out at some of the best uk casino operators, claiming that customer info is being sold off to the highest bidder.

AustralianGambling.com founder Nick Haslem spoke out after he and other casino site owners were able to buy player info, in order to email them and play at other online casinos.

Haslem claimed that the data on offer included full names and addresses, email addresses as well as date of birth, phone numbers and sensitive financial information.

And the list of online casino operators accused by the aussie casino specialist is surprising, considering the big brands being bandied about. Ladbrokes Casino, 32Red, 888 and William Hill - all casinos recommended by Casino Geezer - make the list.

Obtaining data in this way has affected the online casino industry for many years, resulting in consistent spam to customers inboxes, as well as putting customers at risk as far as problem gambling is concerned.

None of the online casino operators wished to comment on Haslem's claims.
