WHY WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA

Personal data allows the Operator to identify the Player. When you register on the Website, you are requested to submit your personal information (your name, date of birth, email address etc.), and when you choose to make a deposit or withdrawal you are requested to register your financial details (account and debit or credit card details). We may request additional documentation such as, but not limited to, copy of your ID, passport, driving license, credit card and proof of address in order to verify your identity. From a certain size of transaction, for the Operator is it also compulsory to obtain a confirmation of your source of funds.

By logging in to the gaming site, our Website, the Player and visitors give us the consent to collect and store the information on your location. This is necessary in order to make sure that you are not playing in a restricted country, where it is legally prohibited or requires a local license for gaming.

We only process your Personal Data when we have a legal basis to do so. The processing can either be created from your consent, by fulfilment of a contract between the Operator and the Player and or visitors, on complying with our legal obligation or on fulfilling our legitimate interest. If you refuse to provide your Personal Data to us, we may be unable to provide you the service or parts of it.

We acquire your consent for certain processing activities during the registration process, where you actively agree to the processing by ticking a box. The completion of a contract requires, for example, that we process your account and debit or credit card details when you register as a real money player or choose to make a deposit or a withdrawal.

In certain cases, we process your personal data to achieve our legitimate interests. These consist of protecting us and any other users of the Website against fraud which includes use of stolen credit cards, or any other fraudulent or criminal activity (together with any chargeback or other reversal of a payment). To realize said interest, we may verify your details against and share Personal Data with other online gaming sites, bank institutions, credit card companies and other fraud prevention agencies, and with any relevant competent authorities. We also have a legitimate interest to preserve and improve customer relations and our service, and to allow for efficient marketing. To accomplish said interest, we possibly will use your personal data to communicate with you, to keep you informed about the changes in the Website, and, if not otherwise requested by you, to refer you to promotional offers regarding gaming on the Website. We might also process your personal data for statistical purposes or to conduct research.

We can also process your personal data to observe with our legal obligations. For example, anti-money laundering legislation requires all financial institutions to gather and record personal data to confirm a player’s identity and to report any transactions found suspicious. We may also process your personal data to support and promote Responsible Gaming as well as prevent gambling-related damage and addiction and underage gambling.

For any clarification or request to access, rectify, modify or oppose any procedure used in the transfer of the Player Data, the player may contact the Operator’s Customer Support.
