Financial information is also required for transaction processing, encompassing payment card details, bank account information, transaction history, and deposit or withdrawal records. We additionally gather technical data automatically through your interactions with our platform, such as IP addresses, browser types, device information, operating systems, and gameplay activity logs.
For compliance with anti-money laundering regulations and responsible gambling requirements, we may request verification documents including government-issued identification, proof of address, and payment method verification. Communication records between you and our customer support team are retained for quality assurance and dispute resolution purposes.

How We Use Your Personal Data
The personal information collected by Duelz Casino serves multiple legitimate purposes essential to providing our gaming services and maintaining regulatory compliance. We process your data on various legal bases as permitted under UK data protection law.
Your information enables us to create and manage your player account, process financial transactions including deposits and withdrawals, verify your identity and age to prevent underage gambling, and deliver customer support services. We utilise your data to detect and prevent fraudulent activity, money laundering, and other illegal activities on our platform.
Casino privacy policy requirements mandate that we monitor gameplay for responsible gambling purposes, identifying patterns that may indicate problem gambling behaviour. This allows us to implement appropriate player protection measures such as deposit limits, time-out periods, or self-exclusion options when necessary.
We process data to comply with licensing obligations imposed by the UK Gambling Commission and other regulatory authorities. This includes maintaining audit trails, reporting suspicious transactions, and cooperating with law enforcement agencies when legally required.
Marketing communications may be sent to you based on your preferences, promoting new games, bonuses, or special offers. You retain the right to opt out of such communications at any time through your account settings or by following unsubscribe links in our emails.
Technical data helps us improve platform performance, troubleshoot issues, enhance user experience, and develop new features. Analytics derived from aggregated, anonymised data inform our business decisions without compromising individual privacy.
Data Sharing and Third-Party Disclosures
Duelz Casino maintains strict controls over the sharing of your personal information. We do not sell your data to third parties for their independent marketing purposes. However, certain disclosures are necessary to operate our services effectively and comply with legal obligations.
We share data with carefully selected service providers who assist in delivering our platform functionality. Payment processors handle financial transactions securely, whilst identity verification services conduct anti-money laundering and age verification checks. Cloud hosting providers store data infrastructure, and customer relationship management systems facilitate support services. All such third parties are bound by contractual obligations to process data only according to our instructions and maintain appropriate security measures.
Regulatory authorities, including the UK Gambling Commission, may receive your information as required under licensing conditions. We comply with legal obligations to report certain activities and respond to lawful requests from law enforcement agencies, tax authorities, and courts.
In the event of a business restructuring, merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your personal data may be transferred to successor entities. You would be notified of any such change in ownership that affects your data.
Professional advisers including lawyers, accountants, and auditors may access your information when necessary for providing their services to our organisation. These parties are subject to professional confidentiality obligations.
| Third-Party Category | Purpose of Disclosure | Data Protection Measures |
|---|---|---|
| Payment Processors | Transaction processing | PCI DSS compliance, encryption |
| Verification Services | Identity and age checks | Contractual data processing agreements |
| Regulatory Bodies | Licence compliance | Legal obligation basis |
| IT Service Providers | Platform infrastructure | Confidentiality agreements, access controls |
| Customer Support Tools | Enquiry management | Role-based access restrictions |
Data Retention and Your Rights
Duelz Casino retains your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected and to satisfy legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations. Account data for active players is maintained throughout the duration of your relationship with our platform and for a period thereafter as required by gambling regulations.
Following account closure, we retain certain records for six years to comply with anti-money laundering legislation and tax requirements. Transaction records, identification documents, and correspondence may be preserved for this statutory period. After the retention period expires, data is securely deleted or anonymised so that you can no longer be identified from it.
Under UK data protection law, you possess several rights regarding your personal information. You may request access to the data we hold about you, receiving a copy of your personal information in a commonly used electronic format. Should any information be inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request correction.
In certain circumstances, you may request deletion of your data, though this right is not absolute and must be balanced against our legal obligations to retain information for regulatory purposes. You can object to processing based on legitimate interests or request restriction of processing in specific situations.
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time, though this does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal. You have the right to receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format and transmit it to another controller where technically feasible.
To exercise any of these rights, contact our Data Protection Officer using the details provided in your account dashboard. We will respond to requests within one month, though complex requests may require an additional two months with notification. You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office if you believe your data protection rights have been violated.
Security Measures and International Transfers
Protecting your personal information is paramount to Duelz Casino operations. We implement comprehensive technical and organisational security measures designed to prevent unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or damage to your data.
Encryption protocols secure data transmission between your device and our servers using industry-standard SSL/TLS technology. Data stored on our systems is protected through encryption at rest, with access controlled through multi-factor authentication and role-based permissions. Our infrastructure undergoes regular security assessments, penetration testing, and vulnerability scanning to identify and address potential weaknesses.
Employee access to personal data is strictly limited to those whose roles require such access for legitimate business purposes. All personnel receive training on data protection principles and confidentiality obligations. We maintain detailed audit logs of data access and processing activities to ensure accountability and detect unauthorised actions.
Firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and malware protection safeguard our network infrastructure. Regular backups ensure data availability and business continuity in the event of system failures or cyber incidents. We have established incident response procedures to address potential data breaches promptly, with notification protocols aligned to regulatory requirements.
Your personal information may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the United Kingdom where our service providers operate data centres or business functions. Such international transfers comply with UK data protection law through approved transfer mechanisms. Where data is transferred to countries not recognised as providing adequate protection, we implement appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by regulatory authorities.
| Security Measure | Implementation | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| SSL/TLS Encryption | 256-bit encryption for data transmission | Protect data in transit |
| Access Controls | Multi-factor authentication, role-based permissions | Prevent unauthorised access |
| Data Encryption | AES encryption for stored data | Secure data at rest |
| Network Security | Firewalls, intrusion detection systems | Block malicious activity |
| Security Monitoring | 24/7 monitoring, automated threat detection | Rapid incident response |
| Employee Training | Regular data protection education | Maintain security awareness |
