3. Purposes of Data Processing
Pokie Spins Casino processes your personal data only for clearly defined and legitimate purposes. The primary reasons for our data processing activities are:
3.1 Account Management
To create, maintain, and manage your player account, including verifying your identity, processing KYC (Know Your Customer) documentation, and maintaining the accuracy of your personal information on file.
3.2 Service Provision
To deliver the gaming services you have requested, including access to our catalogue of 4,000+ games from 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. Data processing in this context enables us to personalise your gaming experience and ensure seamless performance across all devices.
3.3 Legal and Regulatory Obligations (KYC/AML)
As a licensed online casino, Pokie Spins Casino is required by law to conduct identity verification and anti-money laundering (AML) checks.

Your personal information and gaming history are used to support responsible gambling initiatives. If you set deposit limits, bet limits, loss limits, session limits, or request a cooling-off period (24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days) or self-exclusion (6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or permanently), we retain this information to enforce those decisions and protect your wellbeing.
3.6 Marketing and Communications

- Legal obligation: compliance with KYC, AML, and other applicable regulatory requirements.
- Legitimate interests: fraud detection, information security, and business analytics, where these do not override your rights.
- Consent: for marketing communications and the use of non-essential cookies.
