Navigation
At Casino Lab, we take your privacy seriously.

| Processing Purpose | Legal Basis |
|---|---|
| Account creation and management | Performance of a contract (APP 3) |
| Provision of casino games and services | Performance of a contract |

5. Casino Lab Cookie Policy
The Casino Lab cookie policy governs our use of cookies and similar tracking technologies on casinolabs-au.com. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us improve your experience, analyse site traffic, and deliver relevant content. Our cookie policy classifies cookies into four main categories.
5.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. They enable core features such as session management, login authentication, and security checks. You cannot opt out of essential cookies without affecting website functionality.
5.2 Analytical Cookies
Analytical cookies (for example, those placed by Google Analytics) allow us to measure how visitors use our platform — which pages they visit, how long they stay, and where they exit. This data is aggregated and anonymised where possible and is used solely to improve our services. Casino Lab data protection measures ensure that no individually identifiable profiles are built from analytical cookies alone.
5.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember your preferences, such as language settings, currency selection, and game lobby layout. They make your experience at Casino Lab more personalised without tracking your behaviour for advertising purposes.
5.4 Marketing Cookies
With your consent, marketing cookies may be placed by Casino Lab or our trusted advertising partners. These track your browsing activity across our platform and, in some cases, third-party websites to display relevant promotions. You can withdraw consent for marketing cookies at any time through the cookie preference centre accessible in the footer of our website.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You may manage cookies through your browser settings or our on-site consent tool. Note that disabling certain cookies may limit your ability to use some features of the Casino Lab platform. For full details, refer to your browser's help documentation.
6. Sharing Personal Data with Third Parties
Casino Lab does not sell your personal information to third parties. However, we do share user data with carefully selected partners and service providers where necessary to operate our platform and comply with legal obligations. Sharing is always governed by contractual safeguards and data protection standards equivalent to those described in this policy.
6.1 Payment Providers
To process deposits and withdrawals, we share financial personal data with payment service providers including Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller, Paysafecard, Neosurf, and cryptocurrency processors for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin. These providers are bound by their own regulatory obligations and data security standards.
6.2 Identity Verification and KYC/AML Partners
We engage accredited third-party identity verification services to fulfil our KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) obligations. These providers process your identification documents and perform checks against sanctions and PEP lists.
6.3 Regulatory and Law Enforcement Authorities
We may disclose your personal information to the Government of Curaçao (our licensing authority), Australian law enforcement agencies, or financial intelligence units where required by law or court order. Such disclosures are made on the basis of legal obligation and do not require your prior consent.
6.4 Technology and Platform Partners
Our game catalogue includes titles from 50+ software 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. Limited technical data may be shared with these providers to facilitate gameplay and resolve technical disputes.
6.5 Fraud Prevention Services
To protect our players and maintain platform integrity, Casino Lab works with fraud detection and cybersecurity specialists. These partners may receive device fingerprints, IP addresses, and behavioural data to identify suspicious patterns.
6.6 Marketing and Analytics Partners
Where you have provided consent, anonymised or pseudonymised user data may be shared with analytics platforms and affiliate marketing networks. This data is used to measure campaign performance and improve targeting. Your full identity is never shared with advertising partners.
7. International Data Transfers
As an online casino licensed in Curaçao and serving Australian players, Casino Lab may transfer your personal data to countries outside Australia. Such transfers occur, for example, when data is processed by our Curaçao-based operator, by European game providers, or by globally operating payment processors.
All international data transfers are conducted in compliance with APP 8 of the Australian Privacy Act 1988. We ensure that overseas recipients are subject to either: (a) a law or binding scheme substantially similar to the APPs; or (b) contractual obligations that impose equivalent data protection standards. Where GDPR applies, we additionally rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission.
8. Data Security at Casino Lab
Casino Lab data security is a core operational priority. We implement robust technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or disclosure. Our information security framework includes:
- 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption: All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using industry-standard 256-bit SSL/TLS protocols.
- Data encryption at rest: Sensitive personal data stored on our servers is encrypted at the database level.
- Firewalls and intrusion detection: Our infrastructure is protected by enterprise-grade firewalls and continuous intrusion detection systems.
- Access controls: Personal information is accessible only to authorised Casino Lab staff on a strict need-to-know basis.
- RNG certification: Our Random Number Generators are independently certified by accredited laboratories, ensuring fair play and the integrity of game outcomes.
- Regular security audits: We conduct periodic penetration testing and vulnerability assessments to maintain the highest possible standard of data security.
- Staff training: All Casino Lab personnel with access to user data receive ongoing training in information security best practices and data protection obligations.
Despite these measures, no online platform can guarantee absolute confidentiality. In the unlikely event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, Casino Lab will notify affected players and relevant authorities in accordance with applicable law.
9. Data Retention Periods
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes set out in this privacy policy or as required by law. The table below provides indicative data storage periods for the main categories of information.
| Data Category | Retention Period | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Account and identity data | Duration of account + 7 years | AML/KYC legal obligation |
| Financial transaction records | 7 years after last transaction | Tax and regulatory compliance |
| Gaming activity logs | 5 years | Dispute resolution / responsible gambling |
| Marketing consent records | Until consent withdrawn + 3 years | Proof of consent |
| Customer support communications | 3 years | Service quality and dispute resolution |
| Technical and log data | 13 months | Security analysis and analytics |
| Cookie and tracking data | Up to 13 months from collection | Analytics optimisation |
After the applicable retention period has expired, Casino Lab will securely delete or anonymise your personal information so that it can no longer be linked to you. Where anonymisation is not possible, we will ensure the data is restricted from further data processing.
10. Your Privacy Rights
As an Australian player, you benefit from a comprehensive set of privacy rights under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles. If you are located in a jurisdiction covered by GDPR (for example, if you are an EU national playing while visiting Australia), additional rights under GDPR Articles 15–22 may also apply. Casino Lab is committed to honouring all applicable privacy rights promptly and transparently.
10.1 Right of Access
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data that Casino Lab holds about you. We will respond to verified access requests within 30 days. In complex cases, we may extend this period by a further 60 days with prior notice.
10.2 Right to Correction
If any personal information we hold is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, or misleading, you have the right to request its correction. Casino Lab will take reasonable steps to correct the data without undue delay.
10.3 Right to Deletion (Right to be Forgotten)
Subject to legal retention requirements (particularly KYC/AML obligations), you may request the erasure of your personal data. We will delete or anonymise data where there is no overriding legal ground to continue its data storage.
10.4 Right to Restriction of Processing
You may request that Casino Lab restricts the data processing of your personal information in certain circumstances — for example, while the accuracy of data is being contested or while an objection to processing is being assessed.
10.5 Right to Data Portability
Where processing is based on consent or a contractual relationship, and is carried out by automated means, you may request that we provide your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format (e.g., CSV or JSON). You may also request that we transmit this data directly to another service provider where technically feasible.
10.6 Right to Object
You have the right to object to data processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interests, including profiling for direct marketing purposes. Upon receipt of a valid objection, Casino Lab will cease the relevant processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
10.7 Right to Withdraw Consent
Where we process your personal information on the basis of consent — for instance, for marketing communications or optional cookies — you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
Exercising Your Privacy Rights
To exercise any of the privacy rights listed above, please contact our Data Protection Officer at [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity before processing a request to protect your personal information from unauthorised disclosure. We will not charge a fee for handling reasonable requests.
