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)?

Are using an android device or iPhone? If you are using an iPhone, I'm not sure these notifications would be coming to your phone because if there is something iPhone take seriously, it's users data and personalization of information, the only thing I think you will see is email messages. However, if you are using android device, then there is high change Google has personalized your information and they are giving you notifications based on what you have done before.

To avoid all these uncertain risk, don't use your important emails to registered into casino, used a good email but it shouldn't be the one that contain sensitive information on your phone, there is high possibility of casinos sending you marketing emails which you may not even want to see in your inbox and you can't be frown at them because you probably accepted their terms and conditions to use your email for marketing during the registration.

By any chance do you setup sms verification security on one of your casino account. I experienced the same too after using sms verification on one of my gambling account. Some casino usually share customer information. This practice is rampant in my local since I frequently received push notifications from local casino.

Have a spare mobile number dedicated for gambling. And set a security settings to blocked gambling related content by marking one sample as spam.

When you register to gambling platform or any other platforms especially if the platform is a membership type of platform, they have an opt to subscribe when you are in the process of sign up and some sites do not have this and there is a mandatory subscription to their newsletter.

You can opt to unsubscribe if you want to or if the platform do not have that option you can request to unsubscribe All subscription based emails coming from membership platform have unsubscribe button at the of email if you find them annoying you can unsubscribe.

I unsubscribe on many emails subscription that I have no interest to use or not active anymore, don't hit spam if there are unsubscribe button to avoid the newsletter from being flagged as spam.

Gambling push notifications is another issue I will want us to look into. There are so many gambling company today in the internet. But genuine and fake ones. Scammers have made it difficult for people to believe some of this gambling company online because I one or two way they have been scammed. Of course I am a victim of that. Even the genuine gambling company online today it's very hard for people to register and start gambling with the company because some of this fake gambling company that always use people information registered with them to penetrate into people's bank account. Please we should be careful with gambling push notifications online for some of this are not reliable.

Google account or email to create gambling site, it seems like there will never be notifications related to gambling from other services, so far I have never experienced similar problem, this is the first time I have heard of problem related to push notifications on cellphone or laptop just because use of email in gambling.
Moreover, email address linking cannot happen by itself without user intervention and this is really quite strange.

Personally, I always use an email that was specifically created for gambling, I use more than one gambling site and they are all registered with different email addresses, but I created this email only to register on the gambling site and not for other purposes.
Notifications will always be there, but only on one gambling site service, moreover this also gives me sense of comfort in any matter related to notifications from the gambling site services that are used.

The simple question I can ask you, is do you log into your email account both on your laptop and on your mobile phones, sometimes maybe?
If yes, then it is possible that google has linked both accounts on both devices, so when you log in, they recognize the device you are logging in from.

Also, it is possible that your allowed access to your email accounts from the sites your visited. Check your initial registration pages or profile info and terms and agreement you agreed to at the onset. It is even possible you already bookmarked these sites once you last visited or embedded their extension somehow and have not cleared your history and cache files and report logs so far.

I have not also seen any gambling site push notifications before but this is because I have not installed any gambling site application before on my device. I prefer to just use the gambling site website instead. Have you installed any gambling site application before on your device? If you have not, that could be the reason you have not gotten such notification before. If you install an app on your device, you can get push notification from the application on your device.

There's no need to panic you are still safe except you suspect a malicious activities from those notifications then it will raise concerns to handle. whenever you register for a gambling site or online casino as such, you get to see suggestive notifications resulting from the fact that google notice how frequent you visit such site so in other to make it somehow easier for yo to be able to navigate through easily, they allow such suggestive notifications of which they to have options for turning off notifications and as well as muting notifications if the have appeared to be disturbance to you.

Your Gmail isn't connected to others site automatically by google because i know for every gambling site you have to make sure to register first before your mail will be linked to any of the sites, they don't automatically link your mail to another site because you have your mail linked or registered on a particular site just like that. If it keeps inconveniencing you any further, just make sure to turn off notifications.

I think there's a way to disable that notification so you won't receive it anymore. I'm not sure how to do that since I have been gambling using my laptop and phone with the same Gmail number registered, but I'm not receiving a lot of notifications from gambling platforms.

There's an algorithm in Google or Facebook that probably monitors your interests, and they'll send you anything related to that. It's their way of marketing for those who paid them to sell their services and products.

That is weird. I have also talked and logged on casinos and I have not received any push notifications to gamble or associated to gambling whatsoever. By chance your smartphone is of Chinese origin?
Because those smartphones usually come with a lot of trash and bloatware which indeed track what you do on the internet and show you those push notifications and advertisements.
It is likely Google does not have anything to do with those push notifications, that have other invasive ways to show you advertisements, like when you watch YouTube videos or when you see News on their Google News app, it is likely it is more about your phone being from China and those Chinese advertisement providers throwing those push notifications at you as part of their business model: they sell their smarthohones cheap and then they start getting profit from selling ads.

it is something you can disable, fortunately, but it requires some knowledge about messing with Android. Do you know anything about fastbooting, customized ROMs.or getting super admin privileges? That would help you to clean up your phone from thing you do not want to see.

If I used to my number to deposit to a casino as we have this apps called Gcash, I have noticed that after a couple of days, I will get a lot of messages as well and I'm thinking that the casinos that I have played might have been selling my phone number. And this really bothered me that I stop using the apps to gamble for the time being, but still though it's kinda late so I have to block those kind of text messages. But as far as crypto based casinos that I have registered, since I subscribed to them, I will from time to time received some promotional emails. Just surprised to hear though that gamblers here are claiming that they haven't experience this kind of push notifications from either Gmail or text message.

You just have to flag them as spam or totally block the number itself so that you won't get SMS or text message from gambling sites that you don't registered.

The same with Gmail (if you uses their services), just click on the ... dots on the left side mark as spam and unsubscribe. In that way there will be no more email to text messages coming from unknown source.

I do agree, though, I have experience the same, and even if I don't have any accounts on other gambling platforms, I was getting some text message as well.

As long as I gamble at some casino sites with gmail bound from laptops and cell phones it does not have any push notifications except those that come to gmail with promotions that the site offers, but this can be unsubscribed if you do not want these notifications.

But for apps for example maybe push notifications will always be there, but I very rarely install gambling apps and I don't think that all casinos should be accessed from the site directly.

This is something I haven't heard of before. Just like other users have commented, the notifications I get from casino are only via email and it's because I subscribed to receiving those promotional offers and announcements. I am not too sure but you maybe experiencing these push notifications if you use the casino's mobile app or if when you accessed the site via your mobile device you kind of inadvertently accepted to allow push notifications when the option came up on your screen.

For the second part of the question, Oshosondy has already given us the perfect reply.

Well, if it's in your gmail or email, then you can simply change your settings in gmail and block those unwanted emails that do advertisements; they can go to your spam or trash section. The thing is, those emails may be dangerous because some of them might be phishing emails, wherein if a user clicks on them, it will suddenly retrieve your information, so be wary of what link you click on and what website you are visiting. Also, when it comes to websites, you better have an ad blocker so that you will not accidentally click on a website that suddenly pops out. It can also be a dangerous link, and it is common to happen when visiting gambling sites because that's where money is. So its better to search for ad blocker or how to block those malicious website and emails in order to protect your informations and of course your money, these days its dangerous to just clicking on different websites or links.

It is simple as long as you link your google address to a specific gambling site after sometime you will see new emails from other providers of casino games.The reason for that is simple,we all know that Google does not care that much about privacy and especially Gmail which is part of their applications that they always update and innovate by adding new features.There is a cost to these innovations and that is privacy,no matter how hard they try to improve privacy so far they are not known for doing it well so I would not be surprised by such notifications,all fault of Google Gmail.You also have used the same Google account.

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 because of the cookies that you accepted when browsing the website. Also Google see the information you are browsing online and give you ads based on that. But another main reason for you to see it on another website like Facebook are the cookies you are accepting.

Quote from: Marvelockg on June 05, 2024, 02:10:07 AM

As long as it's just mere push notification that doesn't affect your privacy or security, it's nothing to be bothered about but the fact is that our privacy and security while using our mobile device has been brought down to the lowest point.

Yes but you can decide to avoid the privacy invading OS like Android and iOS. Or do not use what is pertaining to them like Chrome, Google search engine, not register any email account on the device which means you will not use Play Store, Youtube App and everything rhayt has to do with Google.

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.

From other gambling sites that you are not registered with? That was supposed to not happen unless that gambling site is also connected to the one you are registered with.

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?

Well, the problem is how you could stop a push notification if that application is not even installed on your phone because you will need to select the application first before you can find the disable or enable button. (On or off for other devices) That's why I am a bit surprised that you will find them in your notifications. Regarding using Gmail on all accounts, the same setting is applied. They should not be notifying you about anything gambling related even if you used that account for one or two gambling sites. I checked my e-mail and yes, I didn't find anything from other gambling sites that I am not subscribed to or registered with.

If there's anything, it will be the Google Chrome on your phone. I always search for basketball scores and now it notifies me with NBA and WNBA live scores.
