On 7 November, a forum posted news that the 1Win database had been leaked online. Attackers gained access to:

• names;
• emails;
• user passwords;
• mobile phone numbers;
• a list of the firm's partners and employees.

The most interesting thing is that the network got not superficial data, the loss of which is unpleasant, but not so dangerous. In the leaked database 1Win specific information Name, phone numbers. The culprit of the celebration was a hacker under the nickname fe0dor, who got full access to the bookmaker's tech.

The bookmaker did not comment on the information about the database leak at first, but later released an official statement. 1Win tried to justify itself by telling about leaks of other databases and an attempt to buy information from hackers.The information was first confirmed by reputable experts from the betting and gambling industry. They are perplexed how a bookmaker can spend millions of dollars on advertising and marketing, various integrations with influencers, but at the same time not protect the most important thing - personal data of clients.After the leak of information about passwords and phones, some 1Win users reported that their accounts were hacked. This applies not only to players, but also to the bookmaker's partners.

Personal data protection is one of the weakest points of most bookmakers. Reliable protection requires substantial costs, and some offices are not in a hurry to part with their profits for the sake of protecting the interests of users. Those bettors who place bets on sites that do not collect personal data, such as Dexsport, for example, are safe.

In addition to the personal data of customers 1Win plum revealed the algorithms by which the casino works. There are also a lot of interesting things here. The most important thing is that for each client RTP is calculated individually. No matter how lucky you are, the algorithms will adjust so that the winnings will not cover the losses.Discredited were also the partners of the platform. In the data leak there is information that some partners had their referral programme payouts cut, while others were marked as having no restrictions applied.

How to protect yourself from loss of personal data

There is always a risk when playing in a casino, which many people try to keep quiet about or make sure it is quickly forgotten online. The main risk is related to customer data leaks. In the last 1Win leak, a 29GB database hit the internet, with over 450 million rows in total. 
Other casinos have had database leaks as well. Among the latest major leaks can be highlighted casinos Stake, Strendus and Pin-up. Given the not the worst rating of portals, then registration on sites even in prominent BC and casinos, does not protect against the fact that your data can get into the public domain.

When choosing a gaming portal, carefully study the user agreement, especially in the sections of withdrawal, registration and account verification. Most of the BC collects about the clients not only information about where they live, work, how much they earn, but also requires documented confirmation of these data. All this can leak into the hands of attackers.

We, the Dexsport team strive to meet the highest security standards to ensure that our customers' data and user experience are protected from any intruders. To keep our customers safe, we have adopted the Web3 model, which eliminates the need to collect any personal data. Dexsport does not require personal information or KYC procedures, enabling our clients to enjoy the game without exposing sensitive data to potential risks.

If you are a fan of sports betting and gambling, you should carefully consider the risks if choosing non-anonymous casinos. Always be careful when choosing a gambling site and those sites where you leave any information. The less data the bookmaker receives, the more secure you are.
