Technical and organisational security measures
The operator applies technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access. These measures include:

Compliance with Australian and international standards
Handling of personal information follows relevant Australian legal requirements, including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing legislation, and any licensing conditions applicable to remote gambling and betting services. Where international standards, such as principles similar to the EU General Data Protection Regulation, provide a higher level of protection, those principles are also taken into account in the design of data handling practices.

Users may opt out of non-essential marketing communications at any time by using account settings or the unsubscribe instructions in messages. Operational notices needed for service or legal reasons will continue to be sent.
Lawful bases for processing
The main legal grounds relied upon for processing personal information include:
- Consent provided when registering an account or selecting specific preferences.
- Performance of a contract to provide online casino and sportsbook services.
- Compliance with legal obligations under Australian and other applicable laws.
- Legitimate interests in operating a secure, lawful and efficient gambling service, balanced against users’ privacy expectations.
Processing is limited to what is necessary for these purposes and aligned with users’ reasonable expectations for an online gambling website.
Accessing, updating and deleting personal information
Users have practical ways to review and manage their personal information that is held in connection with their online gambling account.
How to access personal information
- Core account information, such as contact details and account settings, can be viewed by logging in and visiting the account profile area.
- A user may request a copy of personal information held about them by contacting customer support and providing sufficient details to identify the account.
- Identification checks may be required before information is provided, to protect privacy and prevent unauthorised access.
How to correct inaccurate details
- Certain personal details can be updated directly in the account profile, such as contact or preference information.
- Where fields cannot be edited online, users can contact support to request correction or completion of information.
- Evidence may be requested, for example updated identification or proof of address, where required for regulatory reasons.
Reasonable steps are taken to ensure personal information is accurate, complete and up-to-date for the purposes for which it is used.
How to request deletion or restriction
- Users can ask for closure of their account and for associated personal data to be deleted or de-identified, where it is no longer needed.
- Certain records may need to be retained for a defined period to comply with anti-money laundering, financial, tax or gambling regulations.
- During any retention period, data is stored securely and access is restricted to what is necessary for compliance.
Information that is no longer required and is not subject to mandatory retention will be destroyed or de-identified in a secure manner.
Consent to security checks and payment processing
By creating an account and using this gambling service, users acknowledge and consent that:
- Security checks may be carried out at registration and at any time while the account is active. These checks can include identity verification, age confirmation, address validation and source-of-funds review where appropriate.
- Payment and financial data relating to deposits and withdrawals will be processed by independent payment providers, banks and financial institutions, which may operate in Australia or overseas.
These providers handle payment information in line with their own regulatory obligations and security standards. The platform only shares the minimum data required to process transactions and manage risk.
Protection of minors and young persons
This gambling service is intended only for adults who are at least 18 years of age and legally allowed to participate in online betting and casino activities in their jurisdiction.
Age restrictions and verification
- Account registration and real-money play are not permitted for anyone under 18.
- Age and identity checks may be carried out using identity documents, databases and other verification tools.
- Users must ensure that login details are not shared and that no minor is able to access their account or devices to use these services.
The operator relies on information provided by users and on verification processes. It is not possible to confirm age in all circumstances without supporting documents or data from trusted sources.
Handling information relating to minors
- If it is discovered that personal data belongs to a person under 18 who has misrepresented their age, the account will be suspended or closed.
- Any personal information collected in these circumstances will be deleted or de-identified as soon as reasonably practicable, subject to legal retention obligations.
- A parent or legal guardian who believes that a minor has provided personal information or accessed the services may contact support to request closure of the account and removal of information.
Steps will be taken to handle such requests promptly, while complying with relevant gambling and financial regulations.
International storage and transfer of personal information
Operation of an online casino and sportsbook involves cooperation with partners and service providers that may be located in multiple countries.
Where information may be processed
Personal information may be stored and processed in:
- Australia.
- Countries in which group companies, data centres or technical support teams operate.
- Jurisdictions where payment providers, banks, identity verification services or analytics partners are established.
These locations may have privacy and data protection laws that differ from those in Australia.
Safeguards for cross-border transfers
When personal information is transferred to another country, steps are taken to protect its confidentiality and security, such as:
- Contractual arrangements requiring service providers to handle data in a secure and confidential manner.
- Limiting access to personal information to those who need it for service delivery, compliance or technical support.
- Using reputable providers that apply recognised information security standards.
By using this website and services, users consent to the transfer, storage and processing of their personal information outside Australia for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. All partners are expected to protect user data in line with this document and applicable law.
