- Data processed in Malta (EU) for Canadian players benefits from EU data protection standards (including GDPR).

EXPAND: We specify typical periods and criteria, recognizing that exact durations may vary by law and type of data.
REFLECT: The following outlines how long we keep different categories of data and when we delete or anonymize them.

- We typically retain core account data (name, contact details, KYC information, account history) for the duration of your active account and, after closure, for a period generally not exceeding 5 to 7 years, depending on the applicable legal requirements (e.g., AML, gaming regulations in Malta and Ontario).
- Transactional and gaming data
- Betting history, transaction records, and related logs are usually retained for at least 5 years after the end of the business relationship or the relevant transaction, to comply with regulatory and accounting obligations and for dispute resolution.

When personal data is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected and we are not required by law to retain it, we will either securely delete it or irreversibly anonymize it. If you request deletion, we will also consider whether we can fulfil your request consistently with our legal obligations (see "Your Rights").
