We collect personal information when you interact with us and use our services (the “Services”).

The Personal Information we ask for on registration is compulsory (unless indicated in the forms as optional) and we need it to be able to process your registration, contact you and comply with gambling and financial laws to which you are subject. Unfortunately, therefore, if you do not want to provide such Personal Information, you will not be able to use our services.

• A 'permitted general situation' or 'permitted health situation' (as per Australian Privacy Principles) exists (for example, where the information is required to establish or defend a legal or equitable claim or there is a serious threat to the life or health of the individual or the public).

We have in place additional measures to protect your sensitive information and its confidentiality (see Security section).
