COLLECTING DATA & HOW IT’S USED

We need to collect Personal Data for you to make use of our services. Below follows an outlay of the type of information we collect; how we use the information, and for which purposes.

Personal Information

Personal Information is individually identifiable information, namely information that identifies an individual or may with reasonable effort identify an individual.

How Personal Information is gathered:

In situations where a customer is not physically present for identification purposes, operators are required to:

• Ensure that the customer’s identity is established by additional documents, data, or information;

• Supplementary measures to verify or certify the documents supplied, or confirmatory certification by a credit or financial institution;
• Ensuring that the first payment is made through an account opened in the customer’s name with a credit institution.

Personal Information also includes the information that you provide when filling in the forms when you register an account, as well as any other data that you submit to us via the Website(s) or email, e.g.: first and last name, date of birth, credit card information, physical address, email address, phone number, etc.

All depositing players will be contacted telephonically by our support staff to verify account details when you first register your account and, you will be asked to verify Personal Information. Information such as your first and last name, date of birth, physical address, email address, a phone number will be reviewed against a trusted 3rd Party Site to verify the details provided to us.

Also, Personal Information includes correspondences made via our Website(s), email, telephone and live chat or through other means of communication, such as customer account transaction history, whether this takes place through the Website(s) or via other means of communication including Website log-ins and details, traffic data, location data, weblogs, activity logs and other traffic information recorded on the system.

We keep your Personal Information secure and will not sell, transfer, trade, or rent your details out to any party.

Only staff will have access to general client information on a registered Customers’ account.

Please continue reading for more details.

Payment Information

For you to enjoy all aspects of our gaming platform or any services affiliated with it, such as performing purchases, gameplay, etc., payment information will be collected from you, such as your credit card number and bank account details, and we will require the below documents from you.

All deposits on your account must also be verified and are done to ensure the security and safety of all players at the casino.

Documents required include:

• A valid copy of your driver’s license, ID or Passport, or any other form of identification.

• A valid (less than 90 days old) utility bill which carries your name and current home address. Examples of these: Mobile phone, water, telephone, gas or electricity bill.

• A  copy of the credit or debit cards you have used at the casino. Please note the 3 digit CVV number on the back and the middle 8 digits on the front of the card must be blocked out, this will also apply to the middle 8 digits embossed on the back of the card.

• A completed Authorised Deposit Report Form, which will be sent to you. This will need to be completed and returned to us. Each page should be initialed and all fields filled in.

Over and above the process explained, those withdrawing for the first time will also need to participate in a quick telephonic verification.

If you’ve made previous withdrawals, you will be sent an email requesting some documents with regards to confirming your withdrawal request. These documents will be required on your first withdrawal as well as cumulative withdrawals.

These will include documents confirming your Identity, address details, date of birth, Authorized Deposit Report Form, and PCI compliant copies of credit cards used to deposit.

Voluntary Information

We also collect information which you share with us voluntarily. Examples include when you send us an email, react to communication from us, or when you share additional information about yourself via i.e.: live chat.

Device Information

We may collect specific types of connection details and information with regards to your device, software, or hardware that may identify you, such as the device’s unique identifiers (e.g. UDID, MAC address), browser fingerprinting, IP address, and geo-location data.

3rd Party Information

We are also required to conduct security assessments by obtaining personal data from third parties. Examples include relevant information about your credit history from financial services providers, as well as information that is gathered to verify your identity and prevent fraudulent or illegal activity.

Non-Personal Information

Non-Personal Information is data, when used on its own, can’t be applied to identify or contact you.

Therefore, we are not aware of the identity of the user from which the Non-Personal Information has been collected.

We use Non-Personal Information for different purposes, the most important being an improvement of our services, preventing fraud, and performing web analytics. We may gather such information, either independently or through the help of our third-party service providers (if / when applicable).

Examples of Non-Personal Information:

• Technical Information:

For us to enhance the functionality of our services and provide you with a better user experience, we collect technical information transmitted by your device, including certain software and hardware information (e.g. the type of browser and operating system your device uses, language preference, access time and the domain name of the website from which you linked to the Services; etc.).

• Game Play Information:

We record game play information, and this includes, amongst other things, your deposits, bets, bonuses, game session duration, and your high scores.

• Device and Connection Information:

If or when you download our software to your device, we may collect information from the particular device you are using, for security and fraud detection and prevention purposes. For example, we may gather information with regards to other software which is running simultaneously with our software for detecting if you are using software that is associated with fraudulent activity (e.g. robots, malware, etc.) or checking if the connection you are using is via a VPN or proxy.

• Analytics Information:

How you make use of our services is another area to collect data, such as application usage, log files, user activity (e.g. pages viewed, the amount of time spent on particular pages, online browsing, clicks, actions, etc.), time stamps, alerts, etc. This information assists us in streamlining our services and your experience because it enables us to more accurately troubleshoot errors and bugs, and it’s a reliable tool for research and analytics purposes.

• Anonymous Information:

To avoid you being identifiable, we may render your information unidentifiable. Our use and disclosure of such accumulated information are not subject to any restrictions under this Privacy Policy and, we may disclose it to others without limitation and for any purpose, such as for marketing purposes.

• Data Combination:

The combination of Personal Information, plus Non-Personal Information and/or Anonymous Information is regarded as Personal Information and will be treated as such for as long as it remains combined.
