Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, process, protect, and utilise your personal information when you access our gaming platform. We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of data protection and transparency in accordance with applicable South African legislation, including the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (POPIA). Our primary objective is to ensure that your privacy is safeguarded while you enjoy our services. This policy applies to all users, visitors, and players who interact with our platform, whether through web browsers, mobile applications, or other digital channels. Last updated: December 20, 2025.

1. Information We Collect

We collect various categories of personal information to facilitate account creation, payment processing, regulatory compliance, and enhanced user experience on our gaming platform. The information we gather falls into several distinct categories, each serving specific operational and legal purposes. Understanding what data we collect helps you make informed decisions about your interaction with our services.

When you register an account with us, we require essential identification information including your full name, date of birth, email address, and physical address. This information is fundamental for account verification and age confirmation, as we must comply with South African gambling legislation that strictly prohibits minors from accessing gaming platforms. We collect telephone numbers to facilitate account recovery, customer support communications, and important security notifications.

Payment-related information is collected when you make deposits or withdrawals. This includes banking details, credit card information, electronic wallet identifiers, and transaction history. We do not store full credit card numbers on our servers; instead, we utilise secure payment gateways and tokenisation technology to process financial transactions safely. We also collect information about your preferred payment methods and currency preferences.

Behavioural and technical data is automatically collected through cookies, web beacons, and server logs. This includes your IP address, device identifiers, browser type, operating system, pages visited, time spent on specific features, games played, betting patterns, and clickstream data. We use this information to optimise platform performance, personalise your gaming experience, and detect fraudulent activities.

We collect gaming activity data including your gameplay history, bet amounts, win/loss records, bonus participation, and account balance information. This data helps us understand player preferences, identify responsible gambling patterns, and provide accurate gaming records for dispute resolution and regulatory reporting.

2. Purpose and Legal Basis for Data Processing

We process your personal information for multiple legally justified purposes that align with South African gaming regulations and POPIA requirements. Each processing activity has a clear legal basis, and we ensure that data usage remains proportionate to the stated objectives.

  1. Account Creation and Management: We use your information to establish and maintain your gaming account, verify your identity, confirm your age eligibility, and provide ongoing account management services. This processing is essential for contract performance and legal compliance.
  2. Payment Processing and Financial Services: Your financial information is processed to facilitate deposits, withdrawals, and financial reconciliation. This is necessary for contract execution and regulatory reporting to the National Gambling Board and financial authorities.
  3. Responsible Gambling Compliance: We process data to monitor betting patterns, identify problem gambling indicators, enforce deposit limits, implement self-exclusion requests, and provide responsible gambling tools. This processing is mandated by South African gambling legislation and licensing requirements.
  4. Anti-Money Laundering and Know Your Customer: We process information to conduct KYC verification, monitor transaction patterns for suspicious activity, and comply with financial intelligence requirements. This is legally required under the Financial Intelligence Centre Act, 2001.
  5. Customer Support and Communications: We use your contact information to respond to inquiries, provide technical support, send account notifications, and communicate about promotions and updates. You can manage communication preferences through your account settings.
  6. Platform Security and Fraud Prevention: We process data to detect and prevent fraud, unauthorised access, hacking attempts, and security breaches. This processing protects both your account security and our platform integrity.
  7. Regulatory Compliance and Reporting: We maintain records and process data to comply with gambling regulations, tax obligations, dispute resolution requirements, and regulatory investigations by South African authorities.
  8. Service Improvement and Analytics: We analyse aggregated and anonymised data to improve platform functionality, develop new features, understand user preferences, and enhance overall service quality.

3. Data Sharing and Third-Party Disclosure

We share your personal information with selected third parties only when necessary for service delivery, legal compliance, or legitimate business purposes. All third parties are contractually obligated to protect your information with security standards equivalent to our own.

Payment processors and financial institutions receive necessary payment information to facilitate transactions. These include banking partners, electronic payment providers, and card networks. We share only the minimum information required for transaction processing.

Regulatory authorities and licensing bodies may receive your information when required by law or licensing conditions. This includes the National Gambling Board, the Financial Intelligence Centre, the South African Revenue Service, and other governmental agencies conducting investigations or enforcement actions.

Law enforcement agencies may receive information when we are compelled by court order, subpoena, or legal process to disclose data related to criminal investigations or legal proceedings. We will inform you of such disclosures unless legally prohibited from doing so.

Customer support service providers receive limited information needed to assist with inquiries and technical issues. These service providers are bound by confidentiality agreements and are prohibited from using your information for any purpose other than service delivery.

Marketing and analytics partners may receive anonymised and aggregated data that cannot identify you personally. This information is used to improve advertising effectiveness, understand market trends, and develop our services. Personal identifiable information is never shared with marketing partners without your explicit consent.

In the event of business restructuring, merger, acquisition, or bankruptcy, your information may be transferred to the acquiring entity. We will provide notice of such transfers and ensure that privacy protections remain substantially equivalent.

4. Data Protection and Security Measures

We implement comprehensive security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, and destruction. Our security framework combines technical, administrative, and physical safeguards aligned with industry best practices and South African data protection standards.

  1. Encryption Technology: All sensitive data transmissions utilise industry-standard SSL/TLS encryption protocols that render information unreadable to unauthorised parties. We encrypt data both in transit and at rest using advanced encryption standards.
  2. Secure Server Infrastructure: Our servers are housed in secure, climate-controlled facilities with restricted physical access, surveillance systems, and biometric controls. We maintain redundant systems and regular backups to ensure data availability and recovery.
  3. Access Controls: Only authorised personnel with legitimate business need can access your personal information. We implement role-based access controls, multi-factor authentication, and detailed access logging to monitor data access.
  4. Regular Security Audits: We conduct periodic security assessments, penetration testing, and vulnerability scans to identify and remediate potential weaknesses. Independent security experts perform annual audits of our systems and processes.
  5. Employee Training: All staff members handling personal information receive mandatory data protection training covering POPIA requirements, secure handling procedures, and confidentiality obligations. Employees sign confidentiality agreements as a condition of employment.
  6. Incident Response Protocol: We maintain documented procedures for detecting, responding to, and reporting data breaches. In the event of a security incident affecting your information, we will notify affected individuals and relevant authorities as required by law.
  7. Firewalls and Intrusion Detection: We deploy multi-layered firewall systems, intrusion detection systems, and network monitoring to prevent unauthorised access attempts and identify suspicious activity.
  8. Data Minimisation: We collect and retain only the personal information necessary for stated purposes. We regularly review and delete information that is no longer required for legitimate business purposes.

5. Your Privacy Rights and Control Options

Under South African data protection law, particularly POPIA, you have fundamental rights regarding your personal information. We are committed to enabling you to exercise these rights fully and transparently.

You have the right to request access to your personal information that we hold. You can submit access requests through your account portal or by contacting our privacy team. We will provide your information in a clear, understandable format within thirty days of your request, subject to legal limitations.

You have the right to request correction or update of inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated personal information. You can update most information directly through your account settings. For information requiring our verification, we will correct the information within thirty days of your request.

You have the right to request deletion of your personal information when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to legal retention requirements. Some information may need to be retained for regulatory compliance, fraud prevention, or legal disputes.

You have the right to object to processing of your information for certain purposes, particularly direct marketing communications. You can manage communication preferences directly in your account or request cessation of specific processing activities.

You have the right to data portability, enabling you to request your information in a structured, commonly-used format for transfer to another service provider. We will provide your data within thirty days in a machine-readable format.

You have the right to lodge complaints with the Information Regulator should you believe your privacy rights have been violated. The Information Regulator investigates complaints and can impose remedies when privacy breaches are substantiated.

You have the right to withdraw consent for processing at any time. However, withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing conducted before your withdrawal and may not be possible for processing required by law.

6. Data Retention and Compliance Framework

We retain personal information for the duration necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, balanced against legal retention requirements and legitimate business interests. Our retention schedule complies with South African gambling regulations and tax legislation.

Account information is retained for the duration of your account’s active status and for five years after account closure to facilitate dispute resolution and comply with gambling regulatory requirements. Financial records are retained for a minimum of seven years to satisfy tax and regulatory obligations.

Payment and transaction records are retained for a minimum of ten years as required by the Financial Intelligence Centre Act and the Income Tax Act. These records are essential for regulatory audits, dispute resolution, and anti-money laundering compliance.

Behavioural and gaming activity data is retained for the duration necessary to provide accurate game history and settlement records, typically five years. Aggregated and anonymised analytics may be retained indefinitely for service improvement purposes.

Security incident logs and access records are retained for a minimum of two years to facilitate investigation of security breaches and suspected fraud. Communications and customer support records are retained for three years to support dispute resolution and quality assurance.

We comply with the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013, which establishes the legal framework for data protection in South Africa. We also adhere to the National Gambling Board’s regulations regarding player account information and gaming history documentation. Our compliance framework ensures that all data processing activities meet or exceed legal standards.

This Privacy Policy remains subject to periodic review and updates to reflect regulatory changes, technological developments, and evolving best practices. We encourage you to review this policy regularly to stay informed about how your information is protected.
