Legal Basis for Processing
Under UK data protection law, we must have a valid legal basis for processing your personal information. Our processing activities are based on several legal grounds, depending on the specific purpose and type of data involved. We carefully assess each processing activity to ensure compliance with applicable regulations.
For most of our core services, we rely on contract necessity as our legal basis, meaning that processing your personal information is essential for performing our contractual obligations to you as a registered user. This includes account management, payment processing, and providing access to our gaming services. We also process certain information based on legal obligations, particularly those related to UK Gambling Commission requirements, anti-money laundering laws, and tax reporting obligations.
Where we process information for marketing purposes, we rely on your explicit consent, which you can withdraw at any time through your account settings or by contacting our support team. For security monitoring, fraud prevention, and service improvement activities, we rely on our legitimate interests, always ensuring that these interests do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.
Data Sharing and Third Parties
We share your personal information with carefully selected third parties only when necessary to provide our services, comply with legal obligations, or protect our legitimate interests. All third-party relationships are governed by strict data processing agreements that ensure appropriate security measures and compliance with UK data protection standards.
Payment processors and financial institutions receive necessary transaction information to process your deposits and withdrawals securely. These partners are PCI DSS compliant and implement industry-standard security measures. We share relevant information with the UK Gambling Commission and other regulatory bodies as required by law, including suspicious activity reports and compliance audits.

Your Rights and Choices
Under UK data protection law, you have several important rights regarding your personal information. We are committed to facilitating the exercise of these rights and will respond to your requests within the legally required timeframes, typically within one month of receiving a valid request.
You have the right to access your personal information and obtain a copy of the data we hold about you. This includes information about how we use your data, who we share it with, and how long we retain it. You can also request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal information, and in certain circumstances, you may request that we delete your personal information entirely.
- Right of access to your personal information and processing details
- Right to rectification of inaccurate or incomplete data
- Right to erasure (deletion) in specific circumstances
- Right to restrict processing of your personal information
- Right to data portability for certain types of information
- Right to object to processing based on legitimate interests
- Right to withdraw consent for marketing communications
- Right to lodge complaints with the Information Commissioner’s Office
To exercise any of these rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer using the contact details provided in this policy. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request to ensure the security of your personal information. Some rights may be limited in certain circumstances, particularly where we are required to retain information for regulatory compliance purposes.
Data Retention
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, comply with legal obligations, and protect our legitimate interests. Our retention periods are determined based on the type of information, the purpose for which it is processed, and applicable legal requirements.
Account information and transaction records are typically retained for seven years after account closure to comply with UK anti-money laundering regulations and tax obligations. Marketing consent records are kept until you withdraw consent or we determine that the information is no longer needed. Technical data such as server logs are generally retained for shorter periods, typically between 12-24 months.
When personal information is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it in accordance with our data retention schedule. However, we may retain certain information for longer periods where required by law, for legitimate business purposes such as fraud prevention, or where necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
