Today, Gambling Insider got remarks from Marina Bay Sands, a Singapore casino resort, regarding a data security problem that occurred on October 19th and 20th, 2023.

The breach entailed a third party gaining unauthorised access to the personal information of some Sands LifeStyle rewards programme members, affecting approximately 665,000 non-casino rewards members. The event was noticed on October 20th, 2023.

Marina Bay Sands notified its consumers in a statement regarding the issue that, based on their investigation findings, personal data of Sands LifeStyle rewards programme members was not compromised.

The casino resort's teams are trying to rectify the compromise and tighten data security systems.

While there is no evidence to suggest that the unauthorised party misused the accessible data, the event serves as a warning for customers to be wary of future phishing efforts and to update their login credentials on a frequent basis as a best practice.

This security problem had no effect on the membership data for the Sands Rewards Club, the casino rewards scheme. Marina Bay Sands notified the issue to Singaporean and other relevant authorities, and is cooperating with their investigations into the breach.

The data security problem at Marina Bay Sands follows a recent data breach involving Caesars Rewards, Caesars Entertainment's loyalty programme. Levi & Korsinsky is aggressively seeking persons affected by the breach to join a potential case to see whether they are entitled to compensation.

This incident compromised the personal information of over 65 million Caesars Rewards members, highlighting the growing necessity of data security in the casino and entertainment industries.

Marina Bay Sands recently finished over 850 ultra-luxury hotel rooms as part of its $1 billion refurbishment project. The substantial refurbishment features a contemporary Executive Club lounge, exquisite dining options, and health and wellness services.
