Hello

Have you guys received an email from SlotMagie and their subsidiaries? Where you are informed that there was a hacker attack on them and you could access data? Would like to attach a screenshot but don't know if/how it works ;D Best regards

I received the same email from Merkurbets. I find it particularly worrying what data was stolen there.


Based on current information, the incident concerns the following customer data: Name, address, transactions and account details (if these were available), ID details, photos from video identification and Risk ratings regarding the risk of gambling addiction.

Concerning Merkur-Bets, SlotMagie and Crazybuzzer

Interesting which data has allegedly been lost, I always thought that such data had to be encrypted on the servers and identified internally by programs or something like that.

I also find it astonishing that ID data etc. is stored accordingly, I thought it always said during Verification that it would only be stored for the process and then deleted etc.

I have informed the BfDI accordingly and asked for a statement on the case in question.

For me, such data breaches are usually just an excuse for "we sold your data".

This also shows the dangers that a digital euro can entail if you can't even manage to prevent such data theft in our strictly monitored online casino system. The amount of customer data that has been tapped into here is really quite serious. The hackers now know almost everything about you and you are completely defenceless against it.

What does that mean now? If you have received such an email, can you make any claims?

You can only claim damages and compensation for pain and suffering if the company has violated the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as part of the data breach. This is the case, for example, if the company did not adequately protect your data from unauthorized access.


If a breach has not yet been established by a data protection authority and there are no court rulings confirming a breach, you may have to be able to prove that the company has not complied with the requirements of the GDPR.



Even if a data leak generally constitutes a breach of the GDPR on the part of the company, it cannot be ruled out that the courts will ultimately reject a right to compensation in this case.

I'm curious to see what compensation is available, if it gets that far, I'll definitely sue the sh** out of them, why are there ID data with photos etc. lying around and still unencrypted? 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 there and nobody would have my data. There will be some serious repercussions. Just how buggy everything was there, 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,

I think there will be 10 free spins of 5 cents each in Fire Joker.
