5. Legal Basis for Processing
Under PIPEDA and applicable provincial legislation, we collect and process personal information based on your meaningful consent at the point of account creation. Certain processing activities are carried out without additional consent where required by law — for example, identity verification under federal AML regulations, age verification obligations, and regulatory reporting requirements imposed by iGaming Ontario (AGCO), BCLC in British Columbia, or AGLC in Alberta.
Where processing is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time, subject to legal and contractual limitations (for example, we may be required to retain certain financial records for a statutory minimum period even after account closure).
6. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may share your data with trusted parties in the following circumstances:
6.1 Service Providers
We engage third-party providers to assist with payment processing (including Interac network processors), identity verification services, fraud detection, IT infrastructure, and customer support platforms. These providers are contractually bound to process your data only on our instructions and in accordance with applicable Canadian privacy law.
6.2 Regulators and Law Enforcement
We may disclose personal information to regulatory authorities — including iGaming Ontario and the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), BCLC, AGLC, or other provincial bodies — as required by law or licence conditions. We may also disclose information to law enforcement agencies where legally compelled or where disclosure is necessary to prevent fraud or criminal activity.
6.3 Responsible Gambling Organisations
With your consent, or where required for player protection, we may share limited information with organisations such as ConnexOntario or the Problem Gambling Institute of Ontario to facilitate responsible gambling interventions or self-exclusion programmes.
6.4 Corporate Transactions
In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of business assets, your personal information may be transferred to the successor entity, subject to equivalent privacy protections.
6.5 International Transfers
Some of our service providers may process data outside of Canada. Where this occurs, we implement appropriate safeguards — including contractual clauses equivalent to those recognised under PIPEDA — to ensure your information receives a comparable level of protection.
7. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active and for a minimum of five (5) years following account closure, in accordance with Canadian AML regulations under the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (PCMLTFA). Financial transaction records may be retained for up to seven (7) years as required under the Income Tax Act (Canada).
Responsible gambling records, including self-exclusion history, may be retained beyond standard periods to protect the safety of affected players. When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised.
