After being registered on a few sites that offer online gambling I have experienced on my mobile the increasing number of push notifications from other services of gambling field. My mobile is not tight to those sites where I'm gambling but bounded with Gmail.

I gamble via my laptop rather than mobile.

Does those push notifications mean that Google has linked somehow my laptop and Gmail account?

What is the best way to protect myself from such "guardianship" (if any)?

You have to turn them off on your app/browser settings and specific on notifications, or go through with each of those apps that are annoyingly goes through your notifs.

That is why I don't really allow and disables them because if you don't, you share a cookie with them every time you visit them and they'll send you bunch of these annoying notifications.

And as for google, they play a big role in here. They save our activities through their browser if you use chrome and IIRC, there's a way through its settings to disable any kind of notification.

This really happened most times that you register on a site where frequently visiting so many sites that looks like the same all does the same thing will always appear on your phone Sometimes the search Engine you put in always appears as the same way other sites that you didn’t register to have they send you messages and sometimes they send you the offer and notification and benefits. This is because you frequently familiar sites that looks like them where you are betting on so it is necessary that you get other notification.

I gamble majorly with my mobile phone but do my analysis with my laptop. I do not receive these notifications. The only time I see some adds is when I use my facebook account, they will begin to drop adds relating to my browser history to my facebook wall. I don't know if this is what you are referring to as notification because I don't really know how they will send you notification for a product you have not subscribed to or browsed their platform. It could also be that you might have visited some websites and put in your information for access to gambling information. This way, they might be sending you those notification so that when you signup in any of the platforms, they will get their commission.

There’s a way to stop that push notifications by simply not allowing it, and on every apps they have notifications not just in gambling. Having this kind of feature might trigger you to gamble more so better to turn it off and just allow notifications for the most important apps like social media platform and banks transactions. If you are into gambling, this might also help you to get updates from your bet online but then again be more responsible.

Probably the websites where you signed up with your Gmail account have sold or leaked users' data to shady people on the internet, so they keep sending emails of the same kind to you in an attempt to grab you as a customer for services they promote, or in other cases they might be trying to hack you by sending phishing emails that if you click, you are going to infect your device with malicious data which will compromise your safety and privacy.

The best way to protect yourself is to use alternative emails when signing up at websites on the internet. Don't use your personal email in these cases. Keep your personal email only for trustworthy essential websites, services, friends, family, job and real life contacts. Avoid all the rest.

I know what I'm talking about, because I used to commit this mistake since a long ago in this crypto environment, so I still receive a lot of garbage emails in a daily basis, including those ones stating they have very intimate and shameful records of mine and that if I don't give the sender some Bitcoins, I'm going to be exposed.

It is likely this is the case, if you gamble on the Chrome browser while you are logged in, then Google can push notifications on your smartphone even if you have never gambled on that device, now you could turn off those notifications, however this is how people that are on the recovering stage of their addiction get to struggle to remain clean, as those notifications may serve the function of a trigger and those people may gamble again when they are reminded they have not done so for a while, which is why anyone that likes to gamble should always do so from a device and accounts that are not connected in any way to their everyday life.

As long as you're using same email address on both your PC and mobile device, your activities tend to be monitored to a very large extent. There ar cases when I just access a gambling site in my chrome and then when I go back to my Facebook wall, I see lots of ads bringing other gambling site to my wall. It's a combination of what an algorithm does and the fact that most of your account are linked in some way.

This is very true. I think there is some sort of algorithm that Google might be making use of, which is not just the Gmail connection to our both devices; if not how, will they detect which site and which site the person visits more often and be given out ads on Facebook without you even suggesting it?

Until I started using my mobile phone to visit gambling sites, I had never seen any gambling ads on my Facebook page, but after one or two visits, I started seeing ads on one particular casino. I often use the plinko game, and the ads keep popping up.

You just have to visit your browser settings and disable notifications.
This are the steps to disable push notifications from your smartphone on any browser.
Step 1.
Click on the three dots at the top right corner on your chrome browser.

Step 2.
Click on settings.

Step 3.
Click on sites setting.

Step 4.
Click on notifications

Step 5.
Then turn off site notifications.

When you click on turn off notifications, you might also want to select the sites you would like to receive notification from, but when you turn it off, you won't receive any messages from any site until you turn it back on.

Can disable them. Massive pain in the ass usually since google (or any machine in general) hide it in the deepest darkest dungeon of your phone, but you can disable them. As for push notifications, in general it's just a browser thing I'd say. And in most cases, which I assume the same as yours, you have your google account logged in to that browser so push notifications are enabled.

Afaik though they generally aren't enabled? You must've clicked a popup randomly by accident which enabled it or something. I've NEVER had any popups in my phone, gambling related or not. That, or I just already set up notifications to gtfo when I saw them once lol.

Well, you probably may have agreed to some cookies for every notification relating to gambling to be sent to you. If that's not the case, then you might have mistakenly given off your email on another site for them to be able to send notifications to you.

Due to how frequently I receive some irrelevant Google notifications from Chrome, I decided to just disable every push notification from Chrome and other browsers I am using. You can do so if you don't want to receive those notifications.

You have full control of what you want to receive and what and where you link your Gmail account, you can always disable this in your security setting it is better to avoid or decline a push notification in your browser for opt-in, and yes you can link your laptop to your Gmail account to secure your account better go here
https://myaccount.google.com/ and see where your email is linking.

And about push notifications, you can go here for a guide on how to disable push notifications on many browsers

3^rdparty cookies just stroked my mind. They may analyze my traffic and send data to interested parties which are bounded with Google. The latter may in turn share those data on mutually profitable basis (let's say via Google ads) with other gambling sites. Is such scheme possible?

We all should assume that, even if we take the measures to avoid tracking (disabling/deleting cookies, using different browsers/devices, VPN, etc.) chances are that our hobbies are still leaked to who knows what actors in the industry, so I would've thought just like you.

Sometimes they are nothing more than pure coincidences, but as time goes on and the industry moves inexorably in that direction, we'd better be suspicious.

I guess it's actually due to your email push notifications. I gamble on my mobile devices but when I'm online since I registered using the same Gmail on my mobile and PC, I get same push notifications anytime there is one. The best thing to do is to switch off the notifications on the device you don't always want to receive such notifications. I do this most times and on some telegram casino where I play, I keep receiving instant notifications about new offers but then I just disable or mute the notifications and only visit when I want. Google push notifications Is similar but you have to set it your self on your gmail account management on which website is allowed to notify you.

It's good you finally turned off the notification though I guessed not all devices notify users either to accept or reject when they signed up at first.

P.S. Thanks to all advice I have prohibited the push notifications on my Android. However Google's capability to follow my activity bends my mind.

Don't be too surprised about this, Google gets majority of their funds yearly from Ads, they are the biggest digital marketers and they will do anything somehow right, in order to get users data for this, we can reduce our dependency on their services which seems free but not and that's Degoogle

Looks like you are logged into the same gamil account on your chrome browser both on your mobile and laptop. They both are in sync and that is why you are getting push notifications on the mobile browser. Logout from the Gmail ID that you have used on the mobile browser and it should work fine or you can manually switch off these notifications from the browser. For that you can do a small Google search and you will find tutorial on how to proceed.

Yeah, I commonly use the same account on both devices but never login into it simultaneously on mobile and laptop. Still further,I had never been synchronous login at gambling service and gmail account. All of these set me thinking of some intricate traces remaining on my laptop after ended gambling activity.

First the email used to register on those gambling sites are logged on in your phone same as your laptop which definitely we are entangled to receive mail notifications from both devices.

If you feel inconveniences having those notifications on your phone but preferably on your laptop, then you willi have to either logout the email from your phone or better still... take he settings steps as @Oshosondy has guided.

Yes that is the right solution op observation of such push notifications does not only occur in gambling site, it's as a result of this connection or usage of same email as many has explained here, another thing is when signing up or registering some site one need mute some notification if you don't want them before it occur, but why your seeing it on mobile device instead of laptop is email which setting can handle.

For email it's very easy, you will just have to unsubscribe, top tier casinos will give you that option. But if you register on a like second tier casinos, you can still do that if you uses Gmail as your provider.

https://support.google.com/mail/answer/8151?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop

That's why I practice to create a new email account for casinos that I will register and not use my main account.

For SMS, it's the same, depending on your service provider and the phone model itself, you can block those numbers, not just for casinos or anything that relates to gambling but any number that you are not familiar with.

Yes, it happens from other gambling sites, it doesn't have to be same or affiliated gambling sites for it to happen that way. Just as the common ads that appears on our screen about a related subject, a product or service you might have engaged with, google will just at will be sending ads about some other similar products and services.

Just that in the cases of op having those notifications prompt on his phone instead of the laptop he uses for gambling is because the Gmail address must have been created using that particular phone that's why the notification messages are directed to the phone not his laptop. All he can do is to deactivate it through settings in his phone.

Gambling push notifications is another issue I will want us to look into. There are so many gambling company today in the internet.

If you do not want gambling push notification, disable it from the gambling app that is on your phone. Also check if there are apps on your phone that you do not install by yourself and delete them all.

Quote from: DYOR+BTC on June 05, 2024, 08:18:05 AM

Please we should be careful with gambling push notifications online for some of this are not reliable.

If you are using a good gambling site, that should not be a problem. If the gambling site that you have its app on your phone sends you message through push notification, you can just go to the gambling website to check what the notification is about. If you do not want such notification, delete the app.

@satscraper
Let me ask you a question, did you have any gambling site app on your device where you get the push notification? Secondly is that did you suspect any app on your device is doing it? Go through your apps and delete the unwanted ones.
