Privacy Policy
Your data belongs to you. We collect and process personal information to deliver our gaming services, but you stay in control. This policy explains what we gather, why we need it, and how we keep it safe.
1. Nature and Scope of Personal Data Collected
When you create an account or use our platform, we collect information that helps us provide a secure and personalised experience. Some data you give us directly. Other information comes from how you interact with our services.
We collect the following categories of personal data:
- Identity information including full name, date of birth, nationality, and gender
- Contact details such as residential address, telephone number, and email address
- Financial data including payment card details, bank account information, and transaction history
- Account credentials like username, password, and security questions
- Verification documents such as passport, driving licence, and utility bills
- Technical data including IP address, device identifiers, browser type, and operating system
- Usage information covering gaming activity, betting history, and session duration
- Communication records from customer support interactions and marketing preferences
We only collect what we genuinely need. This means for registration, identity verification, payment processing, and delivering our services to you.
2. Purposes and Objectives of Data Processing
Every piece of information we hold serves a specific purpose. We process your personal data for the following reasons:
- Creating and managing your player account
- Verifying your identity and age to meet regulatory requirements
- Processing deposits, withdrawals, and financial transactions
- Providing customer support and responding to your enquiries
- Personalising your gaming experience based on preferences
- Detecting and preventing fraud, money laundering, and other illegal activities
- Meeting our legal and regulatory obligations under UK Gambling Commission requirements
- Sending marketing communications where you have opted in
- Improving our platform through analytics and performance monitoring
- Enforcing our terms and conditions
Under GDPR, we rely on several legal bases for processing. These include contract performance when delivering our services, legal obligations for compliance, legitimate interests for security and fraud prevention, and consent for marketing activities.
3. Security Measures and Technical Integrity
Protecting your information is something we take seriously. Our security framework combines technical safeguards with organisational procedures to keep your data safe from unauthorised access or misuse.
We use 256-bit SSL encryption for all data transmitted between your device and our servers. Access to personal information is restricted to authorised personnel who need it for their job functions. Regular security audits and penetration testing help us identify and fix vulnerabilities before they become problems. Our systems include firewalls, intrusion detection, and continuous monitoring around the clock.
Staff members receive training on data protection principles and confidentiality obligations. Physical access to our data centres is controlled through multiple layers of authentication.
4. Sharing Information with Third Parties
We share your data with external parties only when necessary. This happens for specific purposes, and we make sure appropriate protections are in place.
Categories of third parties who may receive your information include:
- Payment processors and financial institutions for transaction processing
- Identity verification providers to confirm your age and identity
- Regulatory bodies including the UK Gambling Commission and other licensing authorities
- Game providers and software suppliers who deliver our gaming content
- Professional advisors such as auditors, lawyers, and consultants
- Law enforcement agencies when required by legal process
- Fraud prevention services and industry databases
- Marketing partners where you have given consent
All third-party processors operate under strict contractual obligations. They can only use your data for specified purposes and must maintain appropriate security standards.
5. Cookie Management and Similar Technologies
Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. These small files help us deliver a better experience and understand how players use our platform.
Essential cookies make our site function properly. You cannot opt out of these because they handle things like keeping you logged in and remembering your language settings. Performance cookies collect anonymous data about site usage, helping us improve functionality. Marketing cookies track your browsing to deliver relevant advertisements.
You control non-essential cookies through our cookie banner when you first visit. Browser settings also let you manage or delete cookies at any time. Blocking certain cookies may affect how our platform works for you.
6. Data Retention Period
We keep your personal data only as long as necessary. Retention periods depend on the type of information and why we hold it.
Account information stays with us for the duration of your relationship with us. After account closure, we retain records for at least five years to comply with anti-money laundering regulations and gaming licence requirements. Transaction data follows the same timeline. Marketing preferences are deleted promptly if you withdraw consent.
Once retention periods expire, we securely delete or anonymise your data. Anonymised information may be kept indefinitely for statistical analysis.
7. User Rights Over Their Data
GDPR gives you significant control over your personal information. These rights apply regardless of where you are located.
You have the right to:
- Access your personal data and receive a copy of what we hold about you
- Rectification of inaccurate or incomplete information
- Erasure of your data in certain circumstances, also known as the right to be forgotten
- Restriction of processing where you contest accuracy or object to our use
- Data portability to receive your information in a structured, machine-readable format
- Object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing
- Withdraw consent at any time where processing relies on your permission
- Lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office if you believe we have breached your rights

8. International Data Transfers
As a company registered in Curaçao operating under licence 8048/JAZ, we may transfer your data outside the United Kingdom and European Economic Area. Such transfers occur only with appropriate safeguards.
We use Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission for transfers to countries without adequacy decisions. These contracts bind recipients to GDPR-equivalent protections. Where applicable, we also rely on binding corporate rules or your explicit consent.
You can request information about specific safeguards we apply to international transfers by contacting us.
9. Privacy Policy Updates
This policy may change from time to time. Updates reflect new legal requirements, changes in our practices, or improvements to our services.
We post revised versions on our website with the effective date clearly marked. Material changes warrant direct notification through email or account messaging. Continuing to use our services after updates take effect means you accept the revised terms.
Checking this page periodically keeps you informed about how we protect your data.
