sky bet also installs spyware on your devices when you use their services. it's called iesnare and it uploads information about you to a company called iovation who can then use your personal data. but dont worry the company was cofounded by two people who also co-founded ultimate bet and who allegedly siphoned millions of users funds out of the site during the superuser glory days of internet poker.
so it's in safe hands then...
Teddy, iesnare is used industry wide not just by Sky. If you look hard enough, there are ways of blocking iesnare.
In the era of scrutinisation of what companies use/keep data for it's really about time, the bookmakers came clean about this.
