Cookies & Tracking
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site, remember your preferences, and analyse traffic. Strictly necessary cookies are always active; all other cookie categories (analytics, marketing) require your explicit consent, which you can manage via our cookie consent banner or account settings. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
How We Use Your Data
Your personal data is used to provide and improve our services, comply with regulatory requirements, detect and prevent fraud, and (where you have opted in) send you relevant marketing. We do not sell your personal data to third parties. From May 2025, all marketing communications require explicit, product-specific opt-in consent in line with updated UKGC marketing rules.

We may share your data with selected third parties only where necessary:
- Payment processors – to handle deposits and withdrawals securely

- UKGC and other regulatory authorities – as required by law
- IT infrastructure and security providers – operating under strict data processing agreements
All third-party processors are contractually bound to handle your data in accordance with UK GDPR.
Data Retention
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. Account data is retained for a minimum of five years after account closure to meet AML and regulatory obligations. Where retention is no longer justified, data is securely deleted or anonymised.

In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights, we will notify you and the ICO within 72 hours as required by UK GDPR.
