Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, process, and protect your personal information when you access and use our online gaming platform. We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of data protection in accordance with applicable UK legislation, including the Data Protection Act 2018 and the UK General Data Protection Regulation. By using our services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the practices described in this policy. Last updated: January 15, 2024.
1. Information We Collect
We collect various types of personal information necessary to provide our gaming services, ensure regulatory compliance, and maintain platform security. The information we gather falls into several distinct categories, each serving specific operational and legal purposes.
Personal identification information includes your full name, date of birth, residential address, email address, and telephone number. This data is essential for account verification, age confirmation, and compliance with anti-money laundering regulations. We also collect financial information such as payment card details, bank account information, cryptocurrency wallet addresses, and transaction histories to process deposits and withdrawals securely.
Technical information comprises:
- IP addresses and geographical location data
- Device identifiers and browser information
- Operating system specifications
- Access timestamps and session durations
- Gaming activity logs and betting patterns
- Website navigation behaviour and preferences
We may also collect identity verification documents including passport copies, driving licences, utility bills, and bank statements as required by UK gambling regulations and responsible gaming policies.
2. Legal Basis for Processing
Our processing of your personal data is founded upon several legal bases as defined under UK data protection legislation. We primarily process information based on contractual necessity, where data handling is essential for providing gaming services, managing your account, and fulfilling our obligations under the terms of service.
Legal compliance represents another fundamental basis for processing, particularly regarding age verification, identity confirmation, anti-money laundering procedures, and reporting obligations to the UK Gambling Commission. We maintain detailed records to demonstrate adherence to regulatory requirements and responsible gambling initiatives.
Legitimate interests justify processing for fraud prevention, security monitoring, platform optimization, and marketing communications to existing customers. We carefully balance these interests against your privacy rights, ensuring proportionate and transparent data handling practices.
Where required, we obtain explicit consent for specific processing activities such as promotional communications, optional data sharing arrangements, and enhanced analytics programs. You retain the right to withdraw consent at any time without affecting other legal bases for processing.
3. How We Use Your Information
Your personal information serves multiple essential functions within our gaming platform ecosystem. Account management represents the primary usage category, encompassing registration processing, identity verification, payment handling, and ongoing customer support services.
Regulatory compliance necessitates extensive data utilization for age verification procedures, responsible gambling monitoring, suspicious activity reporting, and maintaining comprehensive audit trails. We analyze gaming patterns to identify potential problem gambling behaviours and implement appropriate intervention measures.
Security and fraud prevention activities include:
- Real-time transaction monitoring and analysis
- Account access verification and authentication
- Identification of suspicious betting patterns
- Prevention of multiple account creation
- Protection against unauthorized access attempts
Marketing and communication purposes involve sending transactional notifications, promotional offers, responsible gambling reminders, and platform updates. We tailor communications based on your gaming preferences and historical activity patterns while respecting your communication preferences.
4. Information Sharing and Disclosure
We maintain strict protocols regarding information sharing, disclosing personal data only when necessary for legitimate business purposes, legal compliance, or user safety. Our sharing practices align with UK data protection requirements and gambling industry standards.
Third-party service providers receive limited personal information necessary for specific operational functions including payment processing, identity verification, customer support, and technical infrastructure management. We establish comprehensive data processing agreements with all partners, ensuring equivalent protection standards.
Regulatory authorities may receive personal information as required by UK gambling laws, anti-money laundering regulations, and law enforcement requests. We cooperate fully with legitimate investigations while protecting user privacy within legal boundaries.
Business transfers involving company restructuring, mergers, or acquisitions may necessitate data sharing with prospective partners or successors. We ensure continuity of privacy protections throughout any transition process.
We never sell personal information to third parties for commercial purposes or engage in unauthorized data sharing arrangements outside our defined operational requirements.
5. Data Security Measures
We implement comprehensive security measures designed to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our multi-layered security approach incorporates industry-leading technologies and best practices.
Technical safeguards include advanced encryption protocols for data transmission and storage, secure socket layer technology for website communications, and robust firewall systems protecting our infrastructure. We employ tokenization for sensitive payment information and maintain separate encrypted databases for different data categories.
Administrative controls encompass:
- Strict employee access controls and authentication requirements
- Regular security training and awareness programs
- Comprehensive background checks for personnel handling personal data
- Detailed access logging and monitoring systems
- Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
- Incident response procedures and breach notification protocols
Physical security measures protect our data centers and office facilities through controlled access systems, surveillance monitoring, and environmental controls. We partner with certified data center providers maintaining internationally recognized security standards.
6. Data Retention Policies
We retain personal information for specific periods determined by legal requirements, business needs, and data protection principles. Our retention schedules balance operational necessities with privacy rights and storage minimization objectives.
Account information remains active throughout your relationship with our platform and for seven years following account closure, as required by UK gambling regulations and financial services legislation. This includes transaction records, identity verification documents, and communication histories.
Gaming activity logs and betting histories are preserved for five years to support regulatory compliance, dispute resolution, and responsible gambling monitoring. Marketing preferences and communication records are maintained for three years following the last interaction or until consent withdrawal.
Technical data including IP addresses, device information, and access logs are typically retained for two years unless required for ongoing security investigations or legal proceedings. We automatically purge expired data through systematic deletion processes.
7. Your Privacy Rights
Under UK data protection legislation, you possess comprehensive rights regarding your personal information. We facilitate the exercise of these rights through accessible procedures and reasonable response timeframes.
Access rights enable you to request copies of personal information we hold, including processing purposes, data categories, sharing arrangements, and retention periods. We provide comprehensive responses within one month of verified requests.
Rectification rights allow correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information. You may update account details directly through your profile settings or contact our support team for assistance with complex modifications.
Additional rights include:
