SportBet processes your personal data only when we have a valid legal basis to do so. These bases include:

  • Contractual Necessity: Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, such as providing our betting services and managing your account.
  • Legal Obligation: Processing is necessary to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation, such as anti-money laundering (AML) laws, responsible gambling regulations, and tax requirements.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

SportBet may share your personal information with third parties only in specific circumstances and always with appropriate safeguards:

  • Service Providers: We engage trusted third-party service providers to perform functions on our behalf, such as payment processors, identity verification services, IT support, and marketing agencies. These providers are contractually bound to protect your data and use it only for the purposes for which it was disclosed.
  • Regulatory and Law Enforcement Authorities: We will disclose your information when legally required to do so by our licensing authority, law enforcement agencies, or other governmental bodies, for example, to comply with subpoenas, court orders, or other legal processes.
  • Fraud Prevention and Responsible Gambling Organisations: To protect against fraud, money laundering, and to promote responsible gambling, we may share information with relevant organisations and databases.
  • Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your personal information may be transferred to the acquiring entity. We will notify you of any such change in ownership or control of your personal data.
  • Affiliates: We may share data with our affiliated companies for internal administrative purposes, to provide you with integrated services, or for marketing purposes, where allowed by law and your preferences.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

Data Security

SportBet implements robust technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

  • Encryption: We use industry-standard encryption technologies (e.g., SSL/TLS) to protect data transmitted between your device and our servers.
  • Access Controls: Access to your personal data is restricted to authorised personnel who require it to perform their job functions.
  • Firewalls: Our systems are protected by firewalls to prevent unauthorised access.
  • Regular Audits: We regularly audit our security systems and processes to identify and address potential vulnerabilities.
  • Employee Training: Our employees receive regular training on data protection and privacy best practices.

While we strive to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, SportBet cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Retention

SportBet retains your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. This typically includes the duration of your active account with SportBet and for a period thereafter, as required by our licensing authority and anti-money laundering regulations (usually 5-7 years after account closure). We may retain data for longer periods if there is an ongoing legal dispute or if required by specific regulatory provisions.

Once the retention period expires, your personal data will be securely deleted or anonymised.

International Data Transfers

As SportBet operates globally, your personal data may be transferred to, and processed in, countries outside of your country of residence, including countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). These countries may not have the same level of data protection laws as your home country.

When we transfer your data internationally, SportBet takes appropriate safeguards to protect your data. These safeguards may include:

  • Transferring data to countries deemed to provide an adequate level of data protection by the European Commission.
  • Using standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.
  • Implementing binding corporate rules.

By using SportBet's Services, you consent to the transfer of your information to these countries.

Children's Privacy

SportBet's Services are strictly not intended for individuals under the age of 18 (or the legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction, if higher). We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected data from a minor, we will take immediate steps to delete that information from our records.

If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.
