Legal Basis for Processing
Under the GDPR, we must have a lawful basis to process your personal data. Our legal bases for processing your information include:
- Contractual Necessity: Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, such as providing our gaming services and managing your account.
- Legal Obligation: Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject, including anti-money laundering, counter-terrorist financing, and responsible gambling regulations set by our licensing authority.
- Legitimate Interests: Processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or those of a third party, provided your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. This includes improving our services, preventing fraud, ensuring network and information security, and direct marketing (where consent is not required). We always conduct a balancing test to ensure our legitimate interests do not unduly impact your rights.
- Consent: In specific situations, we rely on your explicit consent to process certain types of personal data, particularly for direct marketing activities where required. You can withdraw your consent at any time.
Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell your personal data to third parties. However, we share your information with certain categories of recipients under specific circumstances:
- Service Providers: We engage trusted third-party service providers to perform functions on our behalf, such as payment processors, identity verification services, IT infrastructure providers, customer support platforms, and marketing agencies. These providers are contractually bound to protect your data and only use it for the purposes specified by Mr Vegas.
- Regulatory and Law Enforcement Bodies: We disclose your personal data when legally required to do so by our licensing authority, law enforcement agencies, or other governmental bodies, for purposes such as fraud prevention, anti-money laundering investigations, or to comply with court orders.
- Affiliates and Group Companies: We share your data with other entities within our corporate group for internal administrative purposes, service improvement, and to offer you a wider range of services.
- Professional Advisors: We share your data with our professional advisors, such as lawyers, accountants, and auditors, when necessary for legal, auditing, or compliance purposes.
- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your privacy during such a transfer.
Any third parties with whom we share data are carefully vetted and adhere to strict data protection standards.
Data Security
The security of your personal data is a top priority for Mr Vegas. We implement technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include:
- Encryption: We use industry-standard encryption technologies (SSL/TLS) to protect your data during transmission over the internet.

- Firewalls and Intrusion Detection Systems: Our systems are protected by firewalls and continuously monitored for suspicious activity.
- Regular Security Audits: We conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and address potential weaknesses.
- Data Minimization: We only collect and retain personal data that is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.
- Employee Training: Our staff receive regular training on data protection and security best practices.
While we protect your personal data, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. We encourage you to also protect your account, such as using strong, unique passwords and not sharing your login details.
