Winning Poker Network Distributing Personal Information to other Gambling Sites - Page 2 - Winning Poker Network -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

It doesn't have to be the site, could be individuals. Why were people having random charges on their debit cards after depositing on different sites in the last 2 years? Fwiw, my email for ACR is only used for ACR. How would I get spam from random gambling sites? There is a lot of money to be made selling lists of emails, phone numbers, addresses. It's a big money business.

I agree with you guys that this is probably the case. Still unfortunate that it is happening though.

I'm on BCP as well, but haven't experienced this issue. I will say this, before we jump to any conclusions, it's not entirely improbable that an employee stole the database to sell to another company or it was hacked.

on the bcp main lobby, under the help tab, click faq. there is a statement that they absolutely do not give or sell our personal information to any 3rd parties.

"Will you share my information with any third party?

The privacy of information regarding our customers is of the utmost importance to us at BlackChip Poker. We do not share any data with third parties."

who knows, maybe the info database was stolen. if so, even that's kind of creepy.

Then we need a wpn rep to come in here and shed some light on this instead of just ignoring it.

Maybe someone with access decided to "affiliate" the entire player pool onto a casino and using that to get around the 3rd party sharing verbage.

These networks are really unsecure from anyone who has access in the building. They probably also have several databases for different purposes.

If it was someone in marketing sales on their own its pretty stupid.

A) make it stop go away.
B) dont bs us or im gone you lost my trust.

My fiancé works in marketing for a casino. Her boss, the VP brought a list of 200k+ when getting the job from another casino. It's standard, but unfair to consumers x

Well maybe i cant get the exact truth, but i do expect something, which is not too much to ask. I too am a supporter of the site as well as blackchiprep, and im in no way blaming him or anybody.

Just want an explanation.

i made my first real money deposit yesterday on ACR. my current phone number does get a lot of bs calls but usually not texts. i usually dont even get too much email or snail mail even though i have many sportsbook accounts (some shadier than others).

anyways i got a text tonight from 4208 saying "Breanne@processing.ibiz.cc/Short adv/ Got bank account?/ Got job? :[ http://qerY.us/3in]: sSurURe"

i have a strong feeling it has something to do with WPN/ACR etc

I'm disappointed that this thread has been live for days now, multiple other players have confirmed getting the same mailing, emails, etc and no network rep has responded....while I am sure one has surely viewed this thread by now.

they need your ss id card to apply to the bank provider that will provide you with your debit card. They need to verify your identity haven't you guys ever applied for a debit card they all ask your SS id.

Yes, I got one of these shortly after I signed up for ACR.
