Very strange coincidence...all these years nothing ever happened and now after thousands of Merkur users all dates were publicly accessible something like this happens to me! I told SlotMagie about this update and also sent a screenshot of the message from my email account and the associated block.

I would first wait and see if others are affected. At the moment it remains an isolated case for you. I don't want to defend Slotmagie and co. either, but there is currently no connection between the two incidents.

Yes, let's wait and see. If there is no response from SlotMagie within the 14-day period, then I will take legal action.

I also made a request to CrazyBuzzer. Apart from blah blah blah and "We deeply regret the incident and can assure you that we attach great importance to the safety of our customers and are taking this review as an opportunity to invest even more in this area", not much will come of it.

There are many data leaks, and if you take a closer look, you will often find that your own email address has already appeared several times in different databases. You can easily get an initial assessment by checking your email address at https://haveibeenpwned.com/ (one of several sites where you can roughly check this).


Even if the time period of a leak fits, it is just as likely that your data has already appeared elsewhere. Spammers in particular obtain email addresses from a wide variety of sources.

To request information from Slotmagie, you can submit a data protection request in accordance with the GDPR. According to the law, this must be answered within one month. The support team forwarded me directly to the data protection officer, as for data protection reasons they are only allowed to provide information on stored and possibly accessed data via this person.

First of all, thank you for the link.

Does anyone here have any experience with class actions or can anyone estimate whether a 25% success fee is a usual rate?
Are there any hidden costs?

My data at SlotMagie & CrazyBuzzer is affected, but luckily I was able to verify myself via Schufa. I never upload ID and other document scans, pictures and videos online and therefore only register/verify on platforms that allow Verification via Postident, bank transfer and/or Schufa.

I've already used Protectra in the past, for a different case. There were no hidden costs.


It's good news for you that your ID data is not affected.

- Part of the article unfortunately had to be removed because an entire article from another website was copied 1:1 (unfortunately this causes problems for us) - -


Probably every compensation gets 5 free spins or something like that 🤐

I received 10 free spins for El Torero today

It's kind of awesome, as if nothing had happened.

I don't want to defend the booths, but it's not all that unusual. Here is a WIKI list. Mind you, only cases with losses in the millions:
