The General Directorate of Gambling Regulation (DGOJ), belonging to the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, has an alert service for identity theft on online gambling platforms, called PhishingAlert, which notifies users when others have registered with their data in betting houses. This is a tool that prevents unauthorized registrations in online games and this service can be accessed by all those interested in preserving their identity and integrity by completing a form, either in person at one of the authorized registries or through electronic certificate.
HOW PHISHINGALERT WORKS
Once the user has registered, the electronic headquarters returns a report - available in the Citizen Folder - on the status of the service for operators who have verified their identity up to that point. When a gaming operator performs the identity verification of a new registrant, their data is compared with those registered with PhishingAlert. Specifically, your name, surname, date of birth and DNI or NIE number are checked.
If the data between the user registration applicant and any of the registered persons match, the DGOJ notifies the person registered in the service, indicating that they must contact the gaming operator to resolve the case.
