Mail

I don't want to receive mail from casinos. How can I ensure this for the ones that ask for the post code?

You have to be provided with opt out facilities - you'll need to go into each casino though and go to marketing settings. 

You may find some of these are not actually from the casino but from some other 'partner'

So, even if I opt out of getting letters, I still may receive some from the "other partner"?

Hey there @Proxy and welcome to the AskGamblers Forum  

As already advised by @pinnit2015, you should use the 'unsubscribe/opt-out' options offered by the relevant casino operator. Usually you would find these options as features under My Account tab or something of the kind. If you fail to find it, you'd better seek for further assistance from the casino support team. 

If you have subscribed from receiving emails from casino affiliate websites such as AskGamblers.com for example and you don't want that any longer, you should unsubscribe/opt-out from these websites too.

Probably should have clarified - meant more where some of these details are passed on (sometimes in breach of GDPR etc) to other's within the group.

Just go in and unsubscribe - job done. Might be a pain but sometimes the email footer has a direct link and it's just a case of one click.

I don't mind receiving e-mails. I just don't want to end up receiving mailing letters by mistake.

Thanks.

It's such a pain, we have about 2 every other day but no actual idea which casino they are coming from because they're mainly mailers from casinos we've not registered at!

[pinnit2015]

You should be able to pick what medium you want - SMS/Phone etc

I get, aside from Bingo sites the odd time and pap from rubbish outfits like BGO, very few in the mail. Used to be more but glad they're saving some trees.

Kind of makes me hesitant to hand that particular detail over in case something like this happens. I'd rather look for no account casinos, but I've yet to find any that have PayPal available.  I didn't have this issue with Grosvenor despite them asking for my address because they did not take the postal code (And I left all but the Emails promotional options unticked.). Though I'm sure they'd be able to find out anyway if they were so inclined.

You're not going to find any casino that doesn't ask for your address unless you're at Pay and Play casinos that use Trustly etc (not available for UK at the moment)

And none of them to my knowledge will accept Paypal etc as that's the whole point of them - using Trustly/Banking ID  for KYC etc.

If from the UK and registered to vote -easily obtained anyway from places like 192.com.

Also, you shouldn't be worried anyway as it should be opt in to these things. Don't opt in, shouldn't get anything, get something, then report them. 

Not to say there's not a chance of sharing of data across places - though again, you need to agree to this via their privacy policy in theory, though i'm fairly sure a few folk have done this outwith the law tbf.

Some folk, use bespoke email addy's ([email protected] etc) when signing up to casinos so it's easy to find the culprit (though i've never bothered)

Doesn't it say the names of the casinos or the return address on them? Not sure how they can  do it anonymously.

I guess I'll have to just register for a post code asking site, and find the opt out feature while hoping no slip ups are made.
