Under our UKGC licensing obligations, the processing of data for responsible gambling is a priority. We use automated systems and manual reviews to identify behaviors that may indicate a risk of gambling harm.
- Self-Exclusion: If you choose to self-exclude, we will retain your data to ensure that your request is honored across our systems. We synchronize with GamStop to provide a unified exclusion experience.
- Affordability Checks: We may process financial data to ensure that the "quid" or "tenner" you spend is within reasonable limits relative to your financial circumstances.

- Responsible Gambling Organizations: Specifically GamStop, to facilitate national self-exclusion.
6. International Transfers
While we primarily process data within the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area (EEA), some of our third-party service providers may be located outside these regions. If we transfer your personal data out of the UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
- We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data.
- Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved for use in the UK (International Data Transfer Agreements) which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK.
7. Data Security
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered, or disclosed.
- We use industry-standard encryption (SSL/TLS) for all data transmissions.
- Access to your personal data is strictly limited to employees, agents, and contractors who have a business "need to know."
- We have procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator (such as the ICO) where we are legally required to do so.
8. Data Retention
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
- Customer Account Data: Generally retained for seven years after the closure of the account to comply with AML and UKGC regulations.
- Marketing Data: Retained until you withdraw your consent or for a maximum of two years of inactivity.
- Responsible Gambling Records: Retained indefinitely where necessary to enforce self-exclusion and protect the individual from harm.
9. Your Legal Rights
Under UK data protection laws, you have specific rights regarding your personal information:
- Request Access: Commonly known as a "data subject access request." You can receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Request Correction: You can have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected.
- Request Erasure: You can ask us to delete personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. Note: We may be unable to comply with your request for erasure for specific legal reasons (e.g, AML laws) which will be notified to you.

10. Cookies and Tracking
Our website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our site and allows us to improve our service.
- Essential Cookies: Required for account login and security.
- Analytical Cookies: Help us understand how "punters" move around the site, allowing us to optimize the layout.
- Marketing Cookies: Used to deliver relevant advertisements about upcoming "fixtures" or horse racing meets.
You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, but this may cause some parts of the website to become inaccessible or function improperly.
11. Marketing Communications
We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising.
- Promotional Offers: We may use your identity, contact, and usage data to form a view on what we think you may want or need. This is how we decide which bonuses or "fiver" bets might be relevant to you.
- Fair Play in Bonuses: All bonuses offered via marketing will include clear, upfront summaries of wagering requirements and terms to ensure compliance with UKGC "fair play" standards.
- Opting Out: You can ask us to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by following the "unsubscribe" links in any marketing message or by contacting support.
12. Bonus Abuse and Fraud Prevention
To maintain a fair environment, we process data to identify "bonus abuse." This includes monitoring for multiple accounts, irregular betting patterns, and the use of technical exploits. If we identify fraudulent activity, we reserve the right to share this data with other operators and regulatory bodies to protect the integrity of the UK gaming industry.
13. Complaints and the ICO
You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK regulator for data protection issues. We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO, so please contact us in the first instance.
For gambling-specific disputes, we are registered with an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) entity as required by the UKGC.
14. Changes to This Policy
We keep our Privacy Policy under regular review. Any changes we make in the future will be posted on this page and, where appropriate, notified to you by email. Please check back frequently to see any updates or changes. It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us.
