The UK regulatory bodies have called in the Gibraltar Regulatory Authority as part of their investigations into players data being sold openly. The Information Commissioners Office are still refusing to contact the public with full details but it is known that due to the extent of the breach it has become a major investigation.

We reported over the weekend how players date including usernames, passwords of 3 million online players had been circulated for sale, which included 315,000 online bingo players from a leading UK online bingo operator. Due to the fact that most players use the same usernames and passwords for a variety of accounts online bingo players are at significant risk of fraud.

The ICO initially likened the situation to the investigation at T-Mobile which took nearly a year to fully investigate.

We have seen a sample of 1,000 people on the lists with data that included:

• Name, USERNAME and PASSWORD

• Address

• Email Address

• Phone Number

• Date of Registration

• First Deposit

• Last Deposit

• Total Amount Deposited

• Balance of Account

• Balance of Bonus Account

• VIP Status

• Number of Deposits

• Amount Lost

• Revenue

• Biggest Win
