no that was me, needed to "check" something

its happening for a long time.
Again easy: update your passwords for all casinos you use , if you havent done so yet.

The leaks they use are sometimes years old.

Yeah will be doing it when I get back from having this wisdom tooth removed I need to start using differnt passwords for all sites it’s just easier just using the same few but it’s always risky.

TBH we shouldn’t of having to be doing this but something I’m gonna start doing is putting a gambling block on my bank and just remove when I play after seeing what happened with videoslots recently my biggest worry is someone using my card on a casino to do a deposit then withdraw to another card and wipe my bank out

If they try and get into any of my accounts (probably 4-5 I have), they will be able to withdraw an accumulated total of around 18 pence.

Saying that, I will change my passwords, just in case I get lucky.

But in all my life of playing online (since early 00s), I've never EVER left money sitting in an account. Always withdrawn it or spunked it back. I literally don't have the willpower to leave a large amount of money sitting there. Maybe a tenner or something, but that's it.

Same cheeky I never leave money in my account not cause I don’t trust it more so I’d like to either withdraw it when I’ve had enough playing or lose
It all, having a balance makes me wanna go back and play it if I left it

One reason I like to keep money in my account as if withdrawing and depositing often it makes it harder for me to keep track of where I am limit wise.

I play at one casino and I have my monthly deposit limit. Once my deposit limit it reached. That's it. I'm done for the month.

Whereas if I keep withdrawing and depositing to play I feel it would make that a bit harder to manage. Because for me it is not really any other limits I use. It really comes down to I only want to deposit a max of £x per month.

Edit: I'd like to add that the CM article was very well written and informative.

I suppose on the flip side, this could shine a positive light on those offshore casinos that let your withdrawal requests sit in a pending state for 48 hours, before even considering processing it.

Every cloud and all that

Are people really still using using easy to crack/the same password still?

I use those chrome generated passwords for everything and they're all unique of course. You could torture me to death and I couldn't give you a single password because I haven't got the first clue what they are...

Plus I've got 2FA enabled everywhere I can have it.

Not wishing to raise an old thread, but last year Max posted about a similar issue and gave back then some good advice for players.
