Privacy policy at a glance
This Privacy Policy explains how Ricky casino collects, processes, protects, discloses, and destroys personal information across its online services. It sets out what information is collected, why it is needed, how long it is retained, and the safeguards in place. Use of data is based on user consent and other lawful grounds under Australian law. This document also outlines users’ choices and contact options for privacy enquiries.
Managing personal information and safeguarding privacy
Ricky casino handles privacy in Australia by collecting only what is necessary for account management, wagering, payments, and responsible gambling obligations.
- Types of information: identification details, contact information, age verification records, transactional and betting history, device and log data, location approximations, and responsible gambling preferences.
- Purposes: operate accounts, process payments, verify identity (KYC), prevent fraud, meet AML/CTF duties, support responsible gambling, and improve online services.
- Collection sources: information the user provides, activity on the websites and apps, and lawful data from service providers and verification partners.
- Security controls: encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, multi-factor authentication for staff, network segmentation, monitoring, and regular audits.
- Organisational measures: staff training, role-based access, confidentiality agreements, and vendor due diligence.
- Data minimisation and retention: only what is needed is collected and stored, and it is kept for as long as required for legal, regulatory, and operational purposes.
- Payment protection: payment information is handled by licensed electronic service providers using PCI-DSS level controls.
- Incident response: a structured plan covers detection, containment, investigation, user notification where required, and remediation.
- Accuracy: records are kept current through user updates and periodic checks.
- Transparency: users are informed about collection and processing at relevant touchpoints.
Users have rights to request access to their personal information, ask for corrections if it is inaccurate, and request deletion where permitted by law. Requests may require identity verification and will be addressed within a reasonable period.
Compliance aligns with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme, the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006, and the Spam Act 2003. Obligations under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 and applicable state and territory rules are also taken into account.
How collected information is used
Ricky casino uses personal information to provide and maintain services, verify identity, process transactions, and meet responsible gambling and AML/CTF requirements. Information also supports customer support, dispute handling, service improvement, and security monitoring. Limited data may be used for marketing where consent is given or permitted by law, and users can manage preferences at any time. Aggregated and de-identified information helps assess performance and improve websites and apps.
- Account creation, login, and profile management.
- Identity verification, age checks, and risk screening.
- Deposits, withdrawals, and payment reconciliation.
- Customer support and complaint resolution.
- Responsible gambling tools and self-exclusion administration.
- Fraud detection, security monitoring, and incident prevention.
- Analytics to improve features, performance, and reliability.
- Personalisation of content and basic user experience settings.
- Statutory reporting and cooperation with regulators.
- Direct marketing, only where consent or another lawful basis applies, with opt-out options.
All processing is conducted on lawful grounds, including user consent, performance of a contract, legitimate interests balanced against privacy, and legal obligations. Transparency guides each use, and users may contact the Privacy Officer for details about specific processing activities.
Accessing and updating your information
Users can view, correct, or update personal information through account settings and by contacting the Privacy Officer or support team. Requests may require identity verification to protect accounts. Deletion can be requested where permitted; however, certain records, such as customer due diligence and transaction details, must be retained for required periods under AML/CTF and gambling regulations. Users consent to security checks that may involve third-party identity verification services, and payment information is processed and stored securely by licensed electronic service providers. The platform maintains privacy and security standards designed to protect accounts and reduce unauthorised access.
Safeguarding children’s privacy
The service is intended for persons aged 18 years and over. Age cannot be confirmed without documentation, and identification checks may be required. If a parent or guardian notifies the service that a minor has provided personal information, steps will be taken to delete the information, subject to legal retention duties.
- Identity and age checks are conducted where needed.
- Accounts found to be used by minors are closed.
- Wagering activity by minors is voided as permitted by law.
- Parents or guardians may request deletion by contacting the Privacy Officer.
- Proof of guardianship and the minor’s identity may be required.
