True, but it's just limited. It only gets a little bad at the end of the month (who doesn't know the 5-10 cents winning pictures). I've also written "congratulations" a few times because I wanted to reach the number of points. But I stopped doing that and am more active in the forum. I can understand that not everyone has the time, but you can get the points quickly if you want to.

Pictures are preferably clear, but many good pictures would then "go under" because of that. I'm assuming the worst case scenario here. I don't think we've ever had a wave of spam like this before. Usually it was always a user who was a little more active. But even that sometimes gets on the nerves of some (including me).

Would have to work with a little more effort but also with a unique identifier then the user would remain anonymous from the data but the identifier would still identify him for the comparison


But let's be honest, the GJ team is really understaffed compared to the past and they would surely rather invest their time in GJ and in functions that benefit everyone and not waste time setting something like this up

I just think in this day and age there are always people who take advantage of it, whether it's polls, games, test sites and so on...... it can't be completely eliminated no matter how good your system is and if you try it takes a lot of time and even then people still slip through

Data check/data reconciliation is not difficult to implement, I realize that, butrr it would still be problematic because, as you write, there is a lot of work behind it. GJ is currently understaffed anyway and even if they weren't, it's really a lot of work. I don't know if it would be worth it financially. Take a look at how many rights consumers have and how many obligations companies have to comply with. An infringement can be punished with a fine of up to €300,000 or 2 years imprisonment ^^

Most sites on the internet are theoretically warnable one way or another, true to the motto "he who seeks finds"


I just googled BingBong back then and directly found something that could have been warned, namely the term "best online casino in Germany" under the Google tag

1) they are not allowed to call themselves a casino but a casino

2) Is this a clear violation of competition law as other providers are not allowed to use this term and I'm not 100% sure but can you just call yourself the best XYZ ?

Now the term has suddenly disappeared and it is correct whether they have noticed it through my hint here or have been warned or have come up with it themselves, I don't know but the fact is 99% of the websites could be warned first because of these hard rules

And there are lawyers who do nothing else 24/7 but search for such sites and make money, which is not always automatically created by other companies

Yes, but it has nothing to do with the GDPR. J e depending on the size of the company, every company has always employed a data protection officer. GJ cannot currently afford such a position. I also don't know how severely such violations (which you have now described) are punished.

Was it on Google or was it on the homepage? If it was on the homepage, then it is not allowed.


I don't believe that a casino is allowed to use "the best..." as an advertising slogan. This implies that casinos in Germany have been tested and declared the winner.

Yes, that's exactly why something like that is really no joke ^^ I think violations of the GDPR are punished more severely than other violations. Look how much Facebook paid for a violation 1.2 billion lol xD Don't think GJ would have to pay that much ^^ Probably depends on how much the companies make in win, but I want to make it clear to you that such a violation can have serious consequences.

That's a good option, which makes little sense with paysafe in my eyes, because then you don't really need it anymore. It would make sense with Paypal.

Yes of course it has nothing to do with DSGVO but just wanted to show how easy it is to pay on the internet if you are unlucky an average warning costs 2k-4k for data protection violations even more and even more if they are not reported


In my example above it was on Google like this
