Privacy and security issues with regards to online casinos (and to a lesser extent, bookies) just send me up the wall. I know why, to a certain extent, it's necessary, particularly for smaller outfits..but do I really need to send such ridiculous amounts of detail? As TDTAT points out, data is at risk from any employee who can access it and the more unecessary information that is given increases the ease at which (identity) fraud can take place.
Perhaps the most annoying request I've had is to send debit card scans - with the CVC number showing. I just won't do it - aside from the fact that I'd be concerned that any old employee from that group could take that info and sign up all my money away..email is NOT a secure method of sending information. It's like taking a photocopy of your cards, folding them, then closing the folds with a couple of bits of sticky tape and writing the address on the outside of the paper and hoping that it doesn't get handled by a dodgy postal worker.
Bah Humbug
