Do you have a link to the entry? I couldn't find it right away. Thank you

Well, it only says what we already know. But that makes it official. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkur_Group


Incidentally, this also shows what you can make of the advertised and highly reputable industry, which is characterized by highly secure systems with highly secure monitoring by the GGL. Everything is absolutely monitored, regularly checked and cannot be tampered with. That's clear...

As I won't incur any costs/disadvantages, I will probably join the collective kkkage at Protectra against Merkur Bets, SlotMagie and Crazy Buzzer.
I still need to find out whether I can/must do this for all 3 providers individually or whether it will be bundled together.

I don't think it makes sense with Protectra unless you have suffered damage or lost control of your data/accounts (even briefly). As I've never heard of this company before, I can't assess them. But I wouldn't trust them blindly either. Especially not if you don't have legal protection insurance. And in the unlikely event that I might get €3.95 at some point, I don't want to be on record. Keyword "Streisand effect".

It's difficult with links here. If you search for "Data leaks: check your claims quickly and free of charge", you'll end up on the consumer protection website. There you can quickly and easily check your chances of compensation. And you can also find more information about your rights and what else you can do.

Is that you Mr. Gauselmann? You've been registered here since yesterday and seem to want to trivialize and play down the matter in every post.

The advantage of Protecra is that you don't need your own legal protection insurance.

And how can you lose control of your data in the short term?

He doesn't look like the old b*****d 🤣

Just the idea that a rich person registers with gamblejoe to trivialize something is pretty crazy 😆
Everyone can have their own opinion, whether they're a new user or one of the first.

Yes, that's me. I tried to hide it with my profile photo but it didn't work


I'm just saying. It's not so unusual that everyone will die now. There have always been things like this on the internet. But I don't think this Internet will prevail Microsoft. Adobe, Blizzard, Facebook etc.pp. There is hardly a well-known company that has never been affected by something like this.

In extreme cases, money can be refunded and identity theft can also be investigated. However, since not a single case is known yet, I wouldn't necessarily panic. However, if you insist, you are welcome to do so.

The effort involved in identity theft is not small. You have to go to the police, report it, etc. It takes time and nerves.

And that's just one of the things that can happen. Even the email warns against phishing and call scams. If you forward your data there, then you are to blame (and liable accordingly) and not Merkur bets or the other companies that have not protected your data. Yes, I'm IT-savvy and the Risk of me falling for it is low - but there are other people who don't have this IT-savviness and they are particularly at risk. By the way, my mail was in the spam folder. I don't think many people regularly check their spam folders.

Sure, no reason to panic, but also no reason to sit back and pretend it's no big deal.

However, no copies of IDs, bank details, home addresses, telephone numbers etc. have been stolen from the companies you mentioned.

So far there have been no 10 freespins on 5 cents in Fire Joker. I don't think there's nothing more to come.

That doesn't work at all? But I've always said mafia shed to the German gambling monopoly and then you're blackmailed into playing there, without the blackmail I would never have registered and nobody would have my data. There will be some serious repercussions. Just how buggy everything was, the slots and the site itself constantly crashing and everything, you knew that nobody could program it properly, I've never seen anything like that at a Curacao. They rob you of your money with underground unfair RTP and as the icing on the cake they store your data insecurely until it is stolen,

All masks or the whole network are affected SlotMagie CrazyBuzzer etc. and every Gamblejoe member or over 95% have been hacked and strangers have your data. Now is the time to fight back people.

This is a huge scandal.

They give nothing in compensation. Even Betano just gave out a freebet today.
