8. Fulfilling Our Obligations
Legal and Regulatory Requirements
We must adhere to various legal and regulatory obligations, some requiring the use and retention of personal data for specific periods. As a betting and gaming provider, we are regulated by the Gambling Commission of Great Britain and the Betting (Amendment) Act 2015 in Ireland. We conduct checks to ensure responsible and legal betting and gaming.
We prioritize our social responsibility and responsible gambling commitments, actively monitoring for signs of problem gambling to intervene early and provide support. When a customer in Great Britain self-excludes via GAMSTOP, we receive and apply this restriction across our platforms. We analyze data from self-excluded customers (e.g., age, location, betting behavior) to identify risk factors and improve our support mechanisms.
Other business-related laws, such as those for payment processing or complaint handling, may require us to retain personal data, potentially beyond account closure.
Fraud, Money Laundering, and Illegal Activities
During account setup, betting, or gaming, we perform identity verification, fraud prevention, and anti-money laundering checks using third-party databases and public sources. We may share your data with organizations that verify transactions or detect illegal activities, which may be shared with other entities for credit, identification, or fraud prevention purposes. Where necessary, we report to law enforcement, debt recovery agencies, or similar bodies.
To combat illegal activities and promote responsible gaming, we collaborate with the Gambling Anti-Money Laundering Group, the Gambling Commission, and the UK Information Commissioner’s Office to share information with other providers legally and in line with industry guidelines.
9. Privacy Rights: Can You Object?
The activities described above are essential to providing our Services legally and responsibly. If you do not wish your data to be used in this manner, you may choose not to use our Services and close your account.

We may share your data with:
- Business partners, suppliers, or subcontractors to fulfill contracts with you or them.
- Advertisers and ad networks to deliver relevant advertisements.
- Analytics and search engine providers to optimize our website.
- Regulatory or sporting bodies to enforce rules, ensure integrity, or prevent crime, based on your betting behavior or information from relevant authorities.

We may also share data:
- During business transactions like mergers, sales, or restructurings.
- To comply with legal obligations or enforce our terms.
- To prevent fraud, cheating, or money laundering, sharing with regulators, gaming bodies, financial institutions, or law enforcement.
We ensure your data is handled securely and in compliance with applicable laws.
