Breach Warning

Leave a reply

The BC Lottery Corporation had to shut down its Play Now online casino gambling site on its launch day as a result of security compromise causing the leak of personal information of account holders. An attempt to re-launch the site has actually failed too, as gamblers other than account holders were still able to access player accounts and important security data was accessible too.

Unfortunately the account breach is still active, and the company has not overcome the security issues yet. Initial reports say that the security breach compromised some player accounts and at least $8,000 was wagered illegally.

The UK liberalized gambling regulations resulted in the fact that now online casinos sites have to ensure that all of the messages leaving the gambling group should correspond with the strict standards laid out by the Advertising Standards Authority in the UK. The messages should not be misleading and contain over-sells for their gaming products.

One of William Hill’s email marketing messages about the currently running new bonus promotion  has been recently called out by the ASA. The complaint was initiated because of vague details, key details and requirements left out of the Will Hill emails.

Will Hill’s entire email campaign had to be abandoned.
