Access to Information
How users can access and manage their data
Users can review and update much of their personal information directly in the account settings area, including contact details, preferences, and some verification documents. For additional access requests, users may contact the support team or designated data protection contact. Reasonable steps may be taken to verify identity before providing access to protect user privacy.
Correction of personal data
If any information is incorrect or incomplete, users have the right to request correction. The platform may ask for supporting documentation, such as identity proof or address proof, before changing sensitive data like name or date of birth. Corrections will be made within a reasonable time and, where necessary, relevant third parties such as payment partners may be notified.
Deletion of personal data
Users may request deletion of their personal data where:
- The information is no longer needed for the original purpose.
- Consent has been withdrawn, and there is no other legal basis for processing.
- Processing is unlawful under applicable law.
However, data may be retained when required for:
- Compliance with legal and regulatory obligations in India or other jurisdictions.
- Anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing record-keeping.
- Tax, accounting, and audit requirements.
- Establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.
In such cases, data will be restricted to limited access and used only for the required purposes.
Consent to security checks and payment processing
By registering and using the online services, the user agrees that:
- Security checks may be carried out, including verification of identity, age, payment methods, and source of funds where required.
- Personal data may be provided to external verification services, payment processors, banks, card schemes, and other financial service providers for transaction processing and fraud prevention.
- These providers process payment and verification data in line with their own regulatory obligations and contractual arrangements.
The operator takes reasonable steps to ensure that these partners respect confidentiality and use personal information only for authorised purposes linked to the services provided to the user.
Protection of Children’s Privacy
This platform is intended only for persons who are 18 years of age or older, or higher age if required under the laws of the relevant Indian state. Registration, account use, and participation in online casino or sportsbook services by minors is strictly prohibited.
The operator does not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 18 years. Age is checked using self-declared data and, where necessary, verification documents such as identity proof or address proof. However, without official documents, age cannot be practically verified in all cases at the point of access.
If it is discovered that personal data has been collected from a minor, the account will be closed as soon as reasonably possible, and the information will be deleted or anonymised, subject to legal retention obligations. A parent or legal guardian who believes that their child has provided personal data may contact support to request review and deletion where permitted by law.
International Data Transfers
To provide reliable online services, personal data may be stored or processed on servers located outside India, including in countries where some of the platform’s group companies, service providers, or business partners operate. These may include jurisdictions in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or other regions that offer technical and operational support.
By using the services and providing personal information, the user consents to such international transfers, subject to this Privacy Policy and applicable law. In all cases, the operator seeks to ensure that:
- Adequate contractual and technical safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent protections.
- Partners handle personal data in a manner that is secure, confidential, and consistent with the purposes outlined in this document.
- Transfers comply with applicable cross-border data transfer rules.
Where local law grants additional protection for data transferred abroad, those protections will be observed to the extent they apply to the services.
Legal Disclaimer
This Privacy Policy describes how personal data is collected, processed, and protected in the context of the online casino and sportsbook services. In case of conflict between this document and mandatory legal provisions, the applicable law will prevail and may modify how certain rules apply in practice.
The legal disclaimer applies from the moment the user accepts this Privacy Policy, including by:
- Creating an account and ticking any acceptance box presented.
- Continuing to use the websites or mobile applications after being informed of the policy.

Nothing in this document limits any non-excludable rights granted to users under Indian law or other mandatory regulations. The operator reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy in line with legal, regulatory, or operational changes, as described in the section on Acceptance of Privacy Policy.

By providing personal information and using the services, users consent to such sharing as required for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. These third parties are expected to handle personal data in line with contractual confidentiality and security obligations and may process it only to the extent necessary to perform their services.
