Privacy Policy
Paddy Power Casino is committed to protecting the personal information of all users who access our online slot games and casino services. This privacy policy outlines how we collect, use, store, and safeguard your data when you visit our website or use our gaming platform. We adhere to the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018 to ensure your information remains secure and is processed lawfully. By using Paddy Power Casino, you acknowledge and consent to the practices described in this privacy policy.
Information We Collect
When you register an account or use our services, we collect various types of personal information necessary to provide you with a secure and personalised gaming experience. The data we gather includes identification details such as your full name, date of birth, residential address, email address, and telephone number. We also collect financial information including payment card details, bank account information, and transaction history related to deposits and withdrawals. Additionally, we gather technical data such as IP addresses, browser types, device information, operating systems, and gameplay statistics to improve our services and ensure platform security.
For verification and regulatory compliance purposes, we may request copies of identification documents such as passports, driving licences, or utility bills. We also collect information about your gaming activity, including the slot games you play, bet amounts, wins and losses, and session durations. This data helps us identify patterns of play, detect fraudulent activity, and fulfil our responsible gambling obligations. Communication records between you and our customer support team are retained to maintain service quality and resolve any disputes that may arise.
How We Use Your Information
The personal data we collect serves multiple purposes essential to operating Paddy Power Casino and providing you with quality gaming services. We use your information primarily to verify your identity, process registrations, and maintain your account securely. Financial data enables us to process deposits, facilitate withdrawals, and maintain accurate transaction records in compliance with anti-money laundering regulations.
We analyse gameplay data to detect unusual betting patterns, prevent fraud, and identify potential problem gambling behaviours as part of our responsible gaming commitment. Your information also helps us personalise your experience by recommending slot games that match your preferences and tailoring promotional offers to your interests. We use technical data to optimise platform performance, troubleshoot technical issues, and enhance the overall user experience across different devices.
Marketing communications are sent to users who have provided consent, offering information about new slot game releases, special promotions, and bonus opportunities. You retain the right to withdraw marketing consent at any time through your account settings or by contacting customer support. We also use aggregated and anonymised data for statistical analysis, helping us understand player behaviour patterns and improve our casino privacy policy framework.

All third-party service providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and may only use it for the specific purposes we authorise. We conduct due diligence on our partners to ensure they maintain appropriate technical and organisational security measures. In circumstances where we are legally required to disclose information, such as court orders, regulatory investigations, or law enforcement requests, we will comply with such obligations whilst ensuring minimal data disclosure necessary to meet legal requirements.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties for their independent marketing purposes. Any data transfers to countries outside the United Kingdom are conducted in accordance with UK GDPR requirements, utilising standard contractual clauses or ensuring the recipient country maintains adequate data protection standards.
Your Privacy Rights
Under UK data protection legislation, you possess several rights regarding your personal information held by Paddy Power Casino. You have the right to access your personal data and receive a copy of the information we hold about you, which can be requested through your account settings or by contacting our data protection officer. The right to rectification allows you to correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal information in our records.
You may exercise the right to erasure, also known as the right to be forgotten, in certain circumstances, such as when your data is no longer necessary for the purposes it was collected or when you withdraw consent. However, this right may be limited by our legal obligations to retain certain information for regulatory compliance and financial record-keeping. The right to restrict processing enables you to limit how we use your information in specific situations, such as when you contest the accuracy of your data.
You have the right to data portability, allowing you to receive your personal information in a structured, commonly used format and transmit it to another service provider where technically feasible. The right to object permits you to oppose certain types of processing, particularly for direct marketing purposes, which we will cease immediately upon receiving your objection. Additionally, you have the right not to be subject to automated decision-making, including profiling, that produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects you without human intervention.
To exercise any of these rights, you may submit a request through your account, email our data protection team, or use the contact methods provided on our website. We will respond to your request within one month, though complex requests may require an additional two months. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office if you believe we have not handled your personal data appropriately.
Data Security and Retention
Paddy Power Casino employs comprehensive security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. We utilise industry-standard encryption protocols, including SSL technology, to secure data transmission between your device and our servers. Our systems are protected by firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and regular security audits conducted by independent cybersecurity experts.
Access to personal information is restricted to authorised personnel who require the data to perform their job functions, and all staff members receive regular training on data protection and privacy best practices. We maintain strict password policies, multi-factor authentication, and role-based access controls to minimise the risk of internal data breaches. Regular backups are performed to ensure data recovery in the event of system failures, whilst maintaining the same security standards for backup storage.
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this privacy policy and to comply with legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations. The following table details our standard data retention periods:
| Data Category | Retention Period | Justification |

Following the expiration of retention periods, we securely delete or anonymise your personal information in accordance with our data destruction policies.

We periodically review our retention practices to ensure compliance with evolving legal requirements and industry standards, updating this privacy policy accordingly to reflect any changes in how we manage and protect your information.
