We do not process your data in any way that is incompatible with these objectives. The primary purposes for which we process your personal data are detailed below:

  • To Manage Your Account: We use your data to create, verify, and maintain your account. This is essential for providing you with access to our platform, managing your settings, and offering effective customer support.
  • To Process Financial Transactions: Your financial information is processed to facilitate secure deposits, withdrawals, and payouts. We implement strict security measures to protect your funds and personal details during all transactions.

Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal data in strict compliance with applicable data protection laws. Every processing activity is justified by a specific legal basis, ensuring that your information is handled lawfully and transparently. Our reliance on these grounds depends on the specific purpose for which we are processing your data. The legal bases upon which we process your personal data are as follows:

  • Contractual Necessity: A significant portion of our data processing is necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations to you. This includes managing your account, processing your wagers, and delivering our gaming services as described in our Terms and Conditions.
  • Legal Obligation: As a licensed gaming operator, we are subject to various legal and regulatory requirements. We are required to process certain personal data to comply with these laws, such as those related to anti-money laundering and responsible gaming.
  • Legitimate Interests: We process some data to pursue our legitimate business interests, provided these do not override your rights and freedoms. This includes activities like fraud prevention, risk management, and analysing user data to improve our services.
  • Consent: For processing activities that are not covered by other legal bases, such as direct marketing communications, we will obtain your explicit consent. You have the right to withdraw this consent at any time.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

In the course of our operations, we may need to share your personal data with certain trusted third parties. We ensure that any entity with access to your data adheres to strict confidentiality and data protection standards. Data sharing is limited to what is necessary for the third party to perform its function. We may share your personal data with the following categories of recipients:

  • Service Providers: We engage third parties that assist with IT infrastructure, payment processing, marketing, and legal services.
  • Regulatory and Government Authorities: We may disclose your data to law enforcement agencies and regulatory bodies as required by law.
  • Verification Services: Your data may be shared with agencies that perform identity and age verification checks to comply with our legal obligations.
  • Corporate Transactions: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or restructuring, your data may be transferred to the new entity.

International Data Transfers

To provide our services, it may be necessary to transfer your personal data to countries outside of Australia. Some of our service providers or group companies may be located in other jurisdictions. When we transfer your data internationally, we implement robust safeguards to ensure its protection. We take all necessary steps to guarantee that your information is treated securely and in accordance with applicable privacy standards, including the use of contractual agreements.

Data Security

We are committed to protecting your personal data from unauthorised access, alteration, or disclosure. We implement a range of technical and organisational security measures to safeguard your information. These measures include the use of encryption technologies and strict access controls to ensure your data is handled securely. In the event of a data breach, we will notify affected individuals and the relevant regulatory bodies as required by law.

Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including any legal, regulatory, or operational requirements. Financial and transactional data must be kept for a minimum of five years after account closure to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. Due to these legal obligations, requests for data erasure made before the expiry of this retention period cannot be accommodated.

Your Legal Rights

Under applicable data protection laws, you have several rights concerning your personal data, which empower you to maintain control over your information. We are committed to facilitating the exercise of these rights and will require identity verification before processing any request to protect your data. You have the right to make the following requests regarding your data:

  • Right to Erasure: You can request the deletion of your personal data, subject to our legal data retention obligations.
  • Withdrawal of Consent: You may withdraw your consent for marketing communications at any time through your account settings or by contacting support.
