If players have to deal with their own account closures at GoWild, I would have expected the email to have been sent out by now. There is going to be considerable dissent if GoWild suddenly locks UK players out and cancels all their benefits and comps without giving the players a chance to do it themselves. Players would also prefer to withdraw or play down to zero, rather than be locked out and have to contact CS to get any remaining balance out of their accounts.<br />
<br />
If 32Red are going to use the list for marketing, then they could choose to market only to those players they are pretty certain they don't already have. However, it may not go down too well if players start complaining about data violations on the part of 32Red who have somehow ended up with all their personal information without explicit permission from the GoWild players themselves. Given that 32Red will then hold a UK licence, this could be more serious than it has been in the past where such transfers have remained under an offshore jurisdiction. Ideally, GoWild should ensure that players have the opportunity to opt out of having their information transferred, and should send out an email, or even have a message in the casino and their website about it.

I guess we will see but the end date is 1st October, there is still time for GoWild to communicate, it might be less than you and I would prefer but there is still time.<br />

The data protection issues in this deal are very real, I agree. This is I think the relevant bit<br />

Is it ever acceptable to disclose personal data to other organisations for them to use for their own purposes?<br />
<br />
It depends. You may be approached by a third party seeking personal data about one of your employees or customers. For example, the police may want information in connection with an investigation, or an individual may want information to pursue legal action. In such cases, you may choose to disclose the information if the conditions of a relevant exemption are satisfied.<br />
<br />
Unless one of these specific exemptions applies, individuals should generally be able to choose whether or not their personal data is disclosed to another organisation. If your intention to disclose information in this way was not made absolutely clear at the outset, at a time when the individual had the option not to proceed in their business relationship with you, then you will usually have to get the individual’s consent before making such disclosures.<br />
<br />
A decision to share personal data with another organisation does not take away your duty to treat individuals fairly. So before sharing personal data, you should consider carefully what the recipient will do with it, and what the effect on individuals is likely to be. It is good practice to obtain an assurance about this, for example in the form of a written contract.
