Personal information collected and how it is safeguarded

The platform handles personal information in line with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.

Information collected

  • Identity and contact details: name, date of birth, residential address, email, phone number, and verification documents such as a passport or driver licence.
  • Account and verification records: account IDs, security settings, responsible gambling preferences, and results from KYC and AML/CTF checks including sanctions and politically exposed person screening.
  • Transaction and payment information: deposit and withdrawal records, payment method details, amounts and timestamps. Payment service providers may store card or bank information in line with PCI DSS or equivalent standards.
  • Gameplay and betting activity: wager history, outcomes, preferences, limits, and self-exclusion status.

  • Network segmentation, firewalls, continuous logging, and security monitoring.
  • Regular vulnerability scanning and periodic independent penetration testing.
  • Staff training, confidentiality obligations, and privacy-by-design practices.
  • Vendor due diligence and data processing agreements that require confidentiality and appropriate security.

Retention and deletion

  • Records are kept only for as long as needed for the purposes in this policy or as required by law. AML/CTF records may be retained for at least 7 years.

How information is used

Personal information is used for lawful purposes that a user would reasonably expect and as set out in this policy:

  • Account delivery: setting up and managing accounts, verifying identity, and providing online services.
  • Transactions: processing deposits, withdrawals, bonuses, and account adjustments.
  • Support: responding to requests, investigating issues, and resolving disputes.
  • Security and integrity: monitoring to detect, prevent, and investigate fraud, misuse, and prohibited activity.
  • Responsible gambling: applying limits, time-outs, and self-exclusion, and recording interactions related to user welfare.
  • Improvement and analytics: analysing performance and usage to maintain and enhance the websites and apps.
  • Regulatory compliance: meeting obligations under Australian law including AML/CTF, reporting, and lawful requests from authorities.
  • Marketing and service messages: sending service and security notices. Promotional messages are sent only where the user has consented and can be controlled through preferences.

Processing is conducted in a transparent manner consistent with this document and the Australian Privacy Principles.

Accessing, updating, or deleting your information

Users can review, update, or correct profile details in account settings where available. For other requests, contact the support team through the help centre or contact form. A request may require identity verification. A response is usually provided within 30 days where reasonable.

Corrections and deletions

  • Corrections are made promptly when supported by adequate information.
  • Deletion or de-identification is carried out when the information is no longer needed and there is no legal duty to retain it. Certain records must be kept for minimum periods, for example under AML/CTF laws and for dispute resolution.

Security checks and payments

  • By using Ricky casino, the user consents to security checks, identity verification, sanctions screening, and fraud monitoring.
  • Payment information is processed by authorised payment service providers that may store necessary personal and financial details to complete transactions. The platform may retain tokens and limited identifiers such as the last four digits of a card for verification, reconciliation, and security.

Privacy of minors

The services are intended for persons aged 18 and over. The operator does not knowingly collect information from minors.

  • Age is verified during onboarding or at any later time deemed necessary. The operator cannot confirm age without identity documents.
  • If a parent or guardian believes a minor has provided personal information, they should contact support. Any related account will be reviewed, and information will be deleted or de-identified where permitted by law.
  • Where required for legal compliance, limited records relating to the investigation may be retained.

Overseas disclosure and cross-border processing

Personal information may be transferred to and processed in countries outside Australia where service providers, data centres, payment processors, customer support, analytics, or fraud-prevention partners operate. By using the site and services, the user consents to this overseas processing.

The operator takes reasonable steps under APP 8 to ensure overseas recipients protect confidentiality and handle information in a manner consistent with the Australian Privacy Principles, including through contractual obligations, audits where appropriate, and technical safeguards such as encryption.

If there is any inconsistency between this policy and other privacy notices on the site, this policy takes precedence to the extent of the inconsistency. Nothing in this policy limits rights or remedies available under Australian law.
