Before you can bet, operators check what you can afford and where your money comes from, so your income and your bank statements go on file. Self-exclusion registers then share you across operators. Many keep the file five to ten years after your last log-in.
Reported incidents
Free bet promotion page sent visitors' data to Meta before asking for consent
2025-02-08Affected £20 free bet promotional page
On 8 February 2025 the Observer reported that bwin shared data with Meta on people visiting a promotional page for a £20 free bet. The transfer happened automatically when the page loaded, without the visitor being asked for consent. A bwin spokesperson said that due to an internal error the page was not fully aligned with other group sites, and that it had acted at once to fix it. The Observer tested 150 UK-licensed gambling sites in February 2025 and found 52 sending data to Meta before consent; the test user was then shown Facebook ads from 49 gambling brands.
People affected typically ask bwin to confirm whether their information was included, and which categories.
