International Data Transfers

It may be necessary for us or our service providers to transfer your personal data to countries outside of the European Union and the European Economic Area.

We take all necessary measures to ensure your information and data are treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

To guarantee an appropriate level of protection for your personal data during transfers to third countries, we implement appropriate safeguards, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs). These transfers may be necessary to process your transactions, provide you with gaming services, or perform necessary verification checks.

Data Retention

We shall only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including the satisfaction of any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. When determining the appropriate retention period, we consider the nature and sensitivity of the data, the applicable legal requirements, and the potential risks from unauthorized use or disclosure.

You are to note that due to anti-money laundering regulations in licensed gaming jurisdictions in the European Union, including Ireland, we are obliged to retain personal data of players submitted during registration, and any data passed on during the operative period of a Player Account, for a minimum of five years from the last player transaction or account closure. Therefore, requests for erasure prior to the lapse of this period cannot be entertained.

Your Legal Rights

Under data protection law, you have specific rights regarding your personal data, which we are committed to upholding. These rights allow you to maintain control over your information. To exercise any of these rights, we may need to request specific information about you to help us verify your identity. You have the right to:

  • Request access to the personal data we hold about you.
  • Request correction of any incorrect or incomplete data.
  • Request erasure of your personal data (this right is not absolute and is subject to our legal retention obligations).
  • Object to processing of your data where we rely on legitimate interests.
  • Request restriction of processing in certain scenarios, such as if you contest the accuracy of the data.
  • Request the transfer of your personal data to you or another controller (data portability).
  • Withdraw your consent at any time, where we rely on consent for processing (e.g., for direct marketing).
  • Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, specifically the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC).

Automated Decision-Making

We generally do not use fully automated decision-making in our business relationship. If we use this procedure in individual cases (e.g., for AML risk profiling or Responsible Gambling checks), these processes are subject to human oversight to ensure fairness. We will inform you separately if such procedures are used, as required by law.

Data Security

We are bound by strict legal provisions on the protection of personal data. We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, accessed in an unauthorized way, altered, or disclosed. Access to your personal data is limited to those employees, agents, and third parties who have a business need to know.

Player Accounts can only be accessed with the player’s unique ID and password. You may also set up two-factor authentication (2FA) as additional protection from unauthorized use of your account. You are responsible for keeping your login information confidential and making sure it cannot be accessed by another person.
