Data Retention Policies

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes. Our retention periods vary depending on the type of information and applicable legal requirements.

Account information and transaction records are typically retained for seven years following account closure to comply with anti-money laundering regulations and tax reporting requirements. Gaming activity data may be retained for shorter periods unless required for ongoing regulatory compliance or dispute resolution.

Marketing preferences and communication records are retained until you withdraw consent or request deletion, provided no other legal basis for retention exists.

Upon expiration of applicable retention periods, we securely delete or anonymize your personal information using industry-standard methods to ensure complete destruction of identifiable data.
