Privacy Policy
At Billybets, we are committed to protecting your personal information and ensuring transparency about how we collect, use, and safeguard your data. This privacy policy outlines our practices regarding the information we gather when you use our online slot games and casino services. We recognise the importance of maintaining your trust and operate in accordance with applicable data protection regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Irish data protection laws. This document explains your rights as a user and our responsibilities as a data controller.
Information We Collect
When you register and play at Billybets, we collect various types of information necessary to provide our services and comply with legal obligations. Personal information includes your name, date of birth, email address, postal address, telephone number, and payment details. We also gather technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and gameplay activity. This information is collected through registration forms, account verification processes, payment transactions, and cookies placed on your device. We may also collect information about your gaming preferences, deposit and withdrawal history, and communication with our customer support team. For safe gaming purposes, we monitor gameplay patterns to identify potential problematic gambling behaviour and ensure responsible gaming practices. All information collection is conducted with your knowledge and, where required, with your explicit consent.
How We Use Your Information
The information we collect serves several essential purposes in operating Billybets casino services. We use your personal data to create and manage your account, process deposits and withdrawals, verify your identity and age to comply with licensing requirements, and prevent fraud and money laundering. Your information enables us to provide customer support, send important account notifications, and communicate promotional offers where you have opted in to receive marketing materials. We analyse gameplay data to improve our slot games and overall user experience, ensuring our platform meets player expectations. For safe gaming initiatives, we utilise your information to identify signs of problem gambling and implement appropriate interventions, including deposit limits, self-exclusion tools, and reality checks. We may also use aggregated, anonymised data for statistical analysis and business intelligence purposes. Your payment information is processed securely through encrypted channels and is never stored in full on our systems beyond what is necessary for transaction processing.

Security Measures and Updates
Billybets employs robust technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. We utilise industry-standard SSL encryption for all data transmissions between your device and our servers, ensuring that sensitive information such as payment details and login credentials remain secure. Our systems are protected by firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and regular security audits conducted by independent third parties. Access to personal data within our organisation is restricted to authorised personnel who require such access to perform their duties, and all staff members receive regular training on data protection and privacy requirements.
We implement strict password policies, requiring strong authentication for account access and administrative functions. Payment card information is processed through PCI DSS compliant payment gateways, and we do not store complete card details on our servers. Regular backups of data are maintained in secure, encrypted storage locations to ensure business continuity whilst protecting against data loss. We continuously monitor our systems for suspicious activity and potential security breaches, with incident response procedures in place to address any issues promptly.
This privacy policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or service offerings. When we make material changes, we will notify you through email or prominent notice on our website at least 30 days before the changes take effect. The current version will always be available on our platform with the date of last revision clearly indicated. We encourage you to review this privacy policy regularly to stay informed about how we protect your information. By continuing to use Billybets casino services after changes become effective, you acknowledge and accept the updated terms.
