Data Sharing
We do not sell personal information as a business practice. We share information only when it is needed to operate Blackpokies Casino, provide services you request, maintain security, or comply with lawful requests.
Who we may share data with
- Payment processors and banking partners to facilitate deposits, withdrawals, and transaction monitoring.

When we share information with service providers, we expect them to use it only for the services they provide to us and to apply appropriate safeguards.
Data Security
We apply a combination of technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. Security controls are adapted to the sensitivity of the data and the risks associated with online gaming and payments.
- Access controls and authentication measures intended to restrict data access to authorised personnel.
- Encryption and secure communication methods where appropriate for data in transit.
- Monitoring for suspicious activity to help detect account takeover attempts and fraudulent transactions.
- Procedures for incident handling and investigation aimed at reducing harm if an issue occurs.
No online service can guarantee absolute security. You can help by using a unique password, enabling any available security features, and keeping your login details confidential.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide the Blackpokies Casino services and for legitimate operational needs such as recordkeeping, dispute handling, security monitoring, and compliance with applicable obligations. Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and why it was collected.
- Account and transaction records are typically kept for a period that supports financial reconciliation, chargeback management, and audit needs.
- Verification and security records may be retained to prevent repeated fraud attempts and to support integrity reviews.
- Support communications may be kept to improve service quality and to resolve ongoing issues.
When information is no longer needed, we take steps to delete, anonymise, or securely archive it in line with our internal processes.
Your Rights
You may have rights regarding your personal information depending on your circumstances and location. Blackpokies Casino aims to support reasonable requests and provide clear information about what we hold and how it is used.
Common privacy requests
- Access: request a copy or summary of the personal information associated with your account.

To protect player safety and prevent fraud, we may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests. Some requests may be limited if fulfilling them would compromise security, impact other users, or conflict with recordkeeping and integrity requirements.
Third-Party Services
Our platform may include content or tools supplied by third parties, such as game software, payment widgets, analytics tools, or responsible gambling resources. These providers may process certain data as part of delivering their services. Blackpokies Casino seeks to integrate reputable partners and limit data sharing to what is necessary.
Links to third-party websites are provided for convenience. If you follow a link, the destination site’s privacy practices apply, and you should review their policies before sharing information.
International Transfers
Blackpokies Casino may use service providers or technical infrastructure located in different countries. As a result, personal information may be processed or stored outside Australia. When transfers occur, we take reasonable steps to ensure information is handled with appropriate protections and consistent with this Privacy Policy.
International processing can be necessary for fraud prevention, payment processing, hosting, customer support tooling, and platform reliability.
Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our services, technology, or operational practices. Updates will be posted on this page, and the revised version will apply from the time it is published.
If an update materially changes how Blackpokies Casino handles personal information, we will take reasonable steps to provide notice through the website or your account area where practicable.
