As I was about to delete it, I realized that throughout my years of gambling, I've noticed that online casinos are much more secure compared to lotteries, you almost never receive scam emails like this one from an online casino. That's been my personal experience. Has anyone had a different experience, particularly with online crypto casinos?
Well you just have to ask yourself whether it was from the casino's that you have sign up? Or maybe your email has been on the list here? (

And so with that, I wouldn't jump on the conclusion just yet that the online casinos might be the culprit. Not saying that you might have used your emails to other website, and the hackers could have breach that website and then they able to get your email address. There are a lot of possibilities, is what I'm saying.
