6. Sharing Your Personal Data with Third Parties
Gw Casino does not sell your personal information to third parties. We may, however, share your user data with carefully selected categories of recipients where necessary:
6.1 Payment Providers
To process deposits and withdrawals via PayID, Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller, Paysafecard, Neosurf, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, or bank transfer, we share the minimum necessary personal data with licensed payment processors. These providers are contractually bound to maintain data security and to use your information only to fulfil the transaction.
6.2 KYC and AML Service Providers
Identity verification is mandatory at Gw Casino before your first withdrawal. We engage licensed identity verification and AML screening providers to validate documents and screen against sanctions lists. These providers process your personal data as data processors acting on our instructions and under strict confidentiality obligations.
6.3 Regulatory Authorities
We are required to disclose personal information to government bodies, regulators, law enforcement, or courts when mandated by applicable law — including anti-money laundering authorities, tax authorities, and gambling regulators. Such disclosures are made only to the extent legally required.
6.4 Technology and Service Partners
Our platform relies on third-party technology partners including game software providers (such as Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, Play'n GO, NetEnt, Microgaming, Yggdrasil, Hacksaw Gaming, Push Gaming, Spribe, Red Tiger, Nolimit City, and Relax Gaming), cloud hosting providers, customer support software vendors, and analytics platforms. Each partner receives only the data strictly needed for their service and is bound by data processing agreements incorporating appropriate data protection safeguards.
6.5 Advertising and Marketing Partners
Where you have given your consent, we may share limited technical identifiers (such as hashed email addresses or device IDs) with digital advertising networks to deliver relevant promotions. You can withdraw consent at any time.
7. International Data Transfers
Because Gw Casino is a global platform, your personal data may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in countries outside Australia — including Curaçao and countries where our technology partners operate. Where such transfers occur, we take steps to ensure your personal information is protected to a standard equivalent to Australian law, including through:
- Standard contractual clauses approved by relevant data protection authorities
- Binding corporate rules or equivalent safeguards
- Transfers to countries with adequacy determinations recognised under applicable law
You may request information about the specific safeguards in place for your data storage and international transfers by contacting our Data Protection Officer.
8. Data Security
Gw Casino data security is a top priority. We implement a layered technical and organisational security framework to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. Key measures include:
- 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption on all data transmitted between your device and our servers — the same standard used by major banks.
- Encryption at rest for sensitive data stored in our databases, ensuring confidentiality even in the unlikely event of a server breach.
- Firewalls and intrusion detection systems to monitor and block unauthorised access attempts in real time.
- Access controls restricting staff access to your personal information on a strict need-to-know basis, with role-based permissions and audit logging.
- Regular security audits and penetration testing conducted by independent specialists to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
- RNG certification by independent laboratories to ensure game fairness, separate from but complementary to our broader information security posture.
- Staff training on data protection obligations and security best practices.
Despite these measures, no system is 100% impenetrable. In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights, we will notify you and the relevant supervisory authority within the timeframes required by law.
9. Data Retention Periods
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this privacy policy or to comply with our legal obligations. The table below outlines our standard data storage periods:
| Data Category | Retention Period | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Account and identification data | Duration of account + 5 years after closure | Legal obligation (AML/KYC regulations) |
| Financial transaction records | 7 years from transaction date | Tax and AML legal requirements |
| Gaming activity logs | 5 years from activity date | Regulatory compliance and dispute resolution |
| Customer support communications | 3 years from last interaction | Contractual and legitimate interest |
| Marketing consent records | Until consent withdrawn + 3 years | Proof of consent |
| Technical logs (IP, device data) | 12 months | Security and fraud prevention |
| Cookie data | As per individual cookie expiry (session to 2 years) | Functional and analytical purposes |
After the applicable retention period has elapsed, your personal data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with you. In some cases, data may be retained longer if required by an ongoing legal investigation or dispute.
10. Your Privacy Rights
As an Australian player, you have significant privacy rights under the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles. Where the GDPR also applies to you, you benefit from additional rights under that regulation. Gw Casino is committed to honouring these rights promptly and transparently.
10.1 Right of Access
You have the right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you. We will respond within 30 days. A request can be submitted to [email protected].
10.2 Right to Correction
If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated, you have the right to request its correction. Many details (such as your contact information) can be updated directly via your account settings on gw-australia.com.
10.3 Right to Deletion
Subject to our legal retention obligations, you may request the deletion of your personal information. Note that we are required by AML regulations to retain certain records for several years after account closure, which limits the scope of this right in some cases.
10.4 Right to Restriction of Processing
You can ask us to temporarily stop processing your user data in certain circumstances — for example, while you contest the accuracy of data we hold, or while a complaint is under investigation.
10.5 Right to Data Portability
Where data processing is based on your consent or on a contract, and is carried out by automated means, you may request a copy of your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
10.6 Right to Object
You have the right to object to data processing carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests, including profiling for direct marketing purposes. Where you object to direct marketing, we will stop processing your data for that purpose immediately.
10.7 Right to Withdraw Consent
Where processing is based on your consent (e.g., marketing emails, marketing cookies), you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal. To opt out of marketing communications, use the unsubscribe link in any email or contact [email protected].
10.8 How to Exercise Your Rights
To exercise any of the above privacy rights, submit a written request to our Data Protection Officer at [email protected]. We may ask you to verify your identity before processing your request. We will respond within 30 days; in complex cases we may extend this period by a further 60 days and will notify you accordingly.
11. Supervisory Authority — OAIC
If you are not satisfied with Gw Casino's handling of a privacy complaint, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC), the national supervisory authority for data protection matters in Australia:
- Website: www.oaic.gov.au
- Phone: 1300 363 992
- Post: GPO Box 5218, Sydney NSW 2001
We encourage you to contact us first at [email protected] so we can resolve your concern directly. We aim to address all privacy complaints within 30 days.
12. Responsible Gambling and Data Processing
Gw Casino takes responsible gambling seriously, and the way we handle personal data reflects this commitment. When you set responsible gambling tools — such as deposit limits, bet limits, loss limits, session time limits, cooling-off periods (24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days), or self-exclusion (6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or permanent) — we record and enforce those settings as part of our legal obligations under our gaming licence and our duty of care to players.
We may also use gaming activity data to monitor for behavioural indicators of problem gambling. If our responsible gambling team identifies a concern, a member of staff may contact you using the communication details on your account. This data processing is carried out in your vital interests and in compliance with our regulatory obligations — not for commercial gain.
13. Children and Minors
Gw Casino is strictly for players aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Age verification is part of our mandatory KYC process. If we discover that a minor has provided us with personal data, we will delete that information immediately and close the account. If you believe a minor has registered on gw-australia.com, please notify us at [email protected] without delay.
14. Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites (for example, responsible gambling resources or payment provider portals). This Gw Casino privacy policy applies only to gw-australia.com. We are not responsible for the data protection practices of external sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.
15. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Gw Casino privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in legislation, regulatory guidance, or our business practices. When we make material changes, we will notify registered players by email or via a prominent notice on gw-australia.com at least 14 days before the changes take effect. The date of the most recent revision is displayed at the bottom of this page. Continued use of Gw Casino services after the effective date of any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised privacy policy.
16. Data Protection Officer

- Email: [email protected]
- Postal address: Data Protection Officer, Gw Casino, available upon formal request
- Response time: within 5 business days for initial acknowledgement; full response within 30 days
