We take the security of your personal data very seriously. We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, accessed in an unauthorised way, altered, or disclosed.
These measures include:
- Encryption: Using SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmission between your browser and our servers.

Despite our best efforts, no system is 100% secure. If you suspect any unauthorised activity on your account, please contact us immediately.
7. DATA RETENTION
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
Typically, we retain customer account data for a minimum of five (5) years after the account is closed, or after the last transaction, to comply with AML and gambling regulatory obligations. This period may be extended if required by law or for ongoing investigations.
Gameplay data, responsible gambling settings, and communication records are also subject to these retention periods to ensure regulatory compliance, support dispute resolution, and maintain player protection records.
8. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS (INCLUDING YANDEX.METRICA)
Some of our service providers, including for website analytics, operate outside the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area (EEA). This means your personal data may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the UK/EEA.
Yandex.Metrica:
We use Yandex.Metrica, a web analytics service provided by Yandex LLC (Russia), to help us understand how users interact with our website. This service collects technical and usage data (e.g., IP address, browser type, pages visited) to generate statistical reports.
- Transfer Mechanism: The UK government has not issued an adequacy decision for data transfers to Russia. Therefore, any transfers of personal data to Yandex LLC are primarily based on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) adopted by the UK ICO, combined with supplementary measures (e.g., pseudonymisation, encryption where possible) to ensure an adequate level of protection for your data.
- Risks: While we implement safeguards, you should be aware that data protection laws in countries without an adequacy decision, such as Russia, may not be as comprehensive as those in the UK.
- Opt-out: You can opt-out of Yandex.Metrica tracking by using a browser add-on: https://yandex.com/support/metrica/general/opt-out.html.
By using our services, you acknowledge and accept the potential for such international data transfers, including the risks associated with non-adequate jurisdictions, and that we take all reasonable steps to protect your data in transit and at rest.
