BtoBet Data Breach (2019)
If you are a customer of BtoBet, here’s what’s now in circulation.
In December 2019, a large collection of data from Nigerian gambling company Surebet247 was sent to HIBP. Alongside the Surebet247, database backups from gambling sites BetAlfa, BetWay, BongoBongo and TopBet was also included. Further investigation implicated betting platform provider BtoBet as being the common source of the data. Impacted data included user records and extensive information on gambling histories.

Each record is labeled: confirmed breach data, or an attacker’s claim no one has verified.
Leaked data cannot be deleted from the internet — anyone claiming otherwise is lying. Broker listings can be removed. We do the second, and show you exactly what to fix from the first.
What to do now
Steps that match what this notice says was exposed
Every step below is free and you do it yourself, and none of it depends on BtoBet.
- Tell your bank before you do anything else. Account and routing details are the fastest-moving of the fields in this notice. Call the number on the back of your card rather than any number in an email, and ask them to watch the account and reissue the card.
One more, whatever was exposed: a breach notice is a favourite disguise for a phishing email. If a message about this arrives, do not use its links — go to the company’s site yourself, or call the number on your statement.
