Data Retention
OBSERVE: Gambling services must retain certain data for legal and security reasons but not longer than necessary. EXPAND: Retention periods differ by category (e.g., KYC vs. marketing). REFLECT: We provide clear timelines and criteria while accounting for statutory requirements and dispute periods.

- Transaction and financial records:
- Stored for a minimum of 5 - 7 years from the date of the relevant transaction, depending on applicable legal and tax requirements.
- Gameplay and behavioural logs:
- Retained for as long as necessary for security, anti-fraud, responsible gambling analysis, and regulatory purposes, typically up to 5 years after account closure, after which they may be anonymised or securely deleted.
- Customer support communications:
- Stored for up to 3 - 5 years from the date of the last interaction, depending on the nature of the enquiry and any related disputes.
- Marketing data:
- Processed until you withdraw your consent or object to direct marketing. We will then stop sending marketing but may retain limited records of your opt-out choice.

- Stored according to their individual lifetimes (see "Cookies & Tracking Technologies"), typically from the end of the session up to 24 months, unless you clear them earlier.
When deciding retention periods, we consider legal obligations, regulatory expectations, limitation periods for claims, security requirements, and the principle of data minimisation. When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted, anonymised, or aggregated.
Your Rights
OBSERVE: Users must be informed of their privacy rights in a way compatible with EU-style standards and comparable frameworks. The prompt refers to GDPR and Mexican alignment; we interpret this as a requirement to provide a comprehensive rights framework, while our primary user base in this context is Australia. EXPAND: We align our rights explanation with GDPR-like rights and Australian privacy expectations. REFLECT: We explain each right, outline processes and timeframes, and clarify that exercising rights is generally free of charge.
Overview of Your Rights
- Right of access: To obtain confirmation of whether we process your personal data and receive a copy of your data, along with information about how it is used.
- Right to rectification: To request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
- Right to deletion (erasure): To request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, for example where it is no longer needed or you have withdrawn consent (subject to legal retention obligations).
- Right to restriction: To request that we limit processing of your data in certain situations (e.g., while a dispute about accuracy or legality is being resolved).
- Right to object: To object to processing based on legitimate interests or to direct marketing at any time.
- Right to data portability: To receive personal data you have provided in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and to request that we transmit it to another controller where technically feasible.
- Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on your consent (e.g., marketing, non-essential cookies), you may withdraw it at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
How to Exercise Your Rights
- Submit a request:

- Specify the right you wish to exercise and provide sufficient information for us to identify your account (e.g., username, registered email address).

- Response timeframes:

Even where specific regulations such as GDPR or Mexican privacy laws are not directly applicable, we strive to honour comparable rights consistent with international best practices and Australian privacy expectations, subject to our legal and regulatory obligations (for example, AML/KYC retention requirements may limit full deletion in some cases).
