At Fortunica Casino, protecting the personal data and privacy of every player is not an afterthought — it is a core commitment built into every layer of the platform. The Fortunica Casino privacy policy outlines precisely how we collect, process, store and safeguard your personal information, and it has been drafted in alignment with the Australian Privacy Act 1988, the thirteen Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where applicable. Whether you are registering an account, making a deposit, claiming a bonus or simply browsing the site, data collection is happening transparently and purposefully. This page explains everything you need to know about Fortunica Casino data protection, your rights as a user, and how to exercise them.

Such data is treated with heightened confidentiality and is processed only on the basis of explicit consent or where necessary to protect your vital interests.
2.8 Data Received from Third Parties
We may receive personal information about you from third-party sources, including identity-verification agencies, fraud-prevention databases, payment processors and responsible gambling organisations. This data is used solely to supplement the information you have already provided and to fulfil our legal obligations under Australian and international law.
3. How We Collect Your Data
Fortunica Casino collects user data through the following methods:
- Direct submission: information you provide when registering, completing KYC verification, making a payment, contacting support or filling in forms.
- Automated technologies: cookies, web beacons, pixel tags and similar tracking tools that collect technical and usage data while you interact with the website.
- Third-party sources: payment providers, identity-verification bureaus, fraud-prevention partners and publicly available registries.
- Responsible gambling tools: data generated when you set deposit, loss, wager or session limits, or when you apply for a cooling-off period or self-exclusion.
4. Purposes and Legal Basis for Data Processing
Every instance of data processing at Fortunica Casino rests on one of the lawful bases recognised under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and the GDPR. The table below summarises the primary processing purposes and their corresponding legal grounds.
| Processing Purpose | Categories of Data Used | Legal Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Account registration and management | Identification, contact, financial | Performance of contract |
| Service provision (gameplay, bonuses, withdrawals) | Gaming activity, financial, technical | Performance of contract |
| KYC and AML compliance | Identification, financial, sensitive | Legal obligation |
| Fraud prevention and information security | Technical, financial, identification | Legitimate interest / legal obligation |
| Responsible gambling support | Gaming activity, sensitive, contact | Legitimate interest / vital interests |
| Marketing and promotional communications | Contact, communication | Consent |
| Platform improvement and analytics | Technical, usage, communication | Legitimate interest |
| Customer support | All categories as relevant | Performance of contract / legitimate interest |
4.1 Account Management and Service Provision
The primary purpose of data collection is to create and maintain your player account and to deliver the full range of casino services — including access to 4,000+ games from 50+ leading providers such as Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, Play'n GO and NetEnt, as well as processing your deposits and withdrawals, crediting bonuses and managing your VIP tier.
4.2 KYC and AML Obligations
Fortunica Casino is legally required to verify your identity before processing any withdrawal. This Know Your Customer (KYC) process involves reviewing identification documents, proof of address and, in some cases, source-of-funds documentation. These obligations stem from anti-money laundering (AML) legislation and our licensing conditions. Failure to complete KYC will result in withheld withdrawals, not as a punitive measure, but as a legal necessity.
4.3 Fraud Prevention and Information Security
We use personal data and automated risk-scoring tools to detect and prevent fraudulent activity, account takeovers, bonus abuse and money laundering. Data security is maintained through 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption, robust firewalls, intrusion-detection systems and regular security audits. Our random-number generators (RNGs) are certified by independent testing laboratories to guarantee fair play.
4.4 Responsible Gambling
Your gaming activity data and responsible gambling settings are processed to monitor for signs of problem gambling and to enforce any limits you have set. Fortunica Casino offers deposit, bet, loss and session limits, cooling-off periods of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days or 30 days, and self-exclusion periods of 6 months, 1 year, 5 years or permanent exclusion. This processing is carried out in your vital interest and in accordance with our responsible gambling policy.
4.5 Marketing Communications
With your explicit consent, we may send you promotional emails, SMS notifications or push alerts about new games, bonus offers and VIP rewards. You may withdraw consent at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any marketing email, by updating your communication preferences in your account dashboard, or by contacting us at [email protected].

6. Sharing Personal Data with Third Parties
Fortunica Casino does not sell your personal data to third parties. We may, however, share personal information with the following categories of recipients where necessary to deliver our services or comply with legal obligations:
6.1 Payment Providers
To process deposits and withdrawals via PayID, Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller, Paysafecard, Neosurf, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and bank transfer, we share the minimum necessary financial data with the relevant payment processor. Each payment partner operates under their own privacy policy and is subject to applicable data protection regulations.
6.2 Identity Verification and KYC Partners
We work with accredited third-party identity-verification agencies to fulfil our KYC obligations. These partners receive only the personal data required for identity-matching and document authentication and are contractually bound to protect your information security.
6.3 Regulatory Authorities
We may be required to disclose personal data to government bodies, law enforcement agencies, tax authorities or our licensing regulator (the Government of Curaçao) where compelled by law or court order. In such cases, we disclose only what is legally required and, where permitted, notify you of such disclosure.
6.4 Technology and Analytics Partners
We engage third-party providers for cloud hosting, analytics, email delivery and customer support software. These providers act as data processors and are permitted to use your user data only to provide the contracted service. All such arrangements are governed by data-processing agreements that meet the requirements of applicable data protection law.
6.5 Responsible Gambling Organisations
In certain circumstances — for example, if you request self-exclusion — we may share limited personal data with responsible gambling bodies to enforce exclusion orders across multiple operators or to facilitate referrals to support services.
7. International Data Transfers
Because Fortunica Casino is operated by a Curaçao-registered entity and uses cloud infrastructure and third-party service providers located in various countries, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside Australia or the European Economic Area (EEA). Where such transfers occur, Fortunica Casino ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place, including:
- Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission
- Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs) where applicable
- Adequacy decisions issued by relevant data protection authorities
- Contractual obligations requiring recipient parties to maintain equivalent data protection standards
If you would like further details about the specific safeguards applied to any international transfer of your personal information, please contact our DPO at [email protected].
8. Data Security
Fortunica Casino data security is maintained through a multi-layered approach designed to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction or disclosure. Key security measures include:
- 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption applied to all data transmitted between your browser or app and our servers
- AES-256 encryption for sensitive personal data stored in our databases
- Hardware and software firewalls that monitor and filter incoming and outgoing network traffic
- Intrusion-detection and intrusion-prevention systems (IDS/IPS)
- Multi-factor authentication (MFA) options for player accounts
- Regular penetration testing and vulnerability assessments conducted by independent security experts
- Role-based access controls limiting employee access to user data on a need-to-know basis
- Ongoing staff training on data protection, confidentiality and incident response
While we employ industry-leading security measures, no system is entirely impervious to breach. In the event of a data security incident that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, Fortunica Casino will notify you and the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, in accordance with our obligations under the Notifiable Data Breaches (NDB) scheme and the GDPR.
9. Data Retention
Fortunica Casino data storage practices are governed by the principle of storage limitation. We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. The table below summarises our standard retention periods:
| Data Category | Retention Period | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Account and identification data | 5 years after account closure | AML and legal obligations |
| Financial and transaction data | 7 years after the last transaction | Tax and accounting obligations |
| Gaming activity data | 5 years after account closure | Dispute resolution and regulatory requirements |
| KYC documents | 5 years after account closure | AML legislation |
| Communication and support records | 3 years after last contact | Legitimate interest, dispute resolution |
| Marketing consent records | Until consent is withdrawn + 3 years | Proof of consent |
| Cookie and analytics data | Up to 2 years | Analytics and site improvement |
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, your personal data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to you. Anonymised data may be retained indefinitely for statistical and research purposes.

Under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles, as well as the GDPR where it applies to your situation, you have a range of privacy rights in relation to the personal data that Fortunica Casino holds about you. These privacy rights are summarised below.
10.1 Right of Access
You have the right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you. We will provide this information within 30 days of your verified request, free of charge in the first instance.

If any of the personal data we hold about you is inaccurate, outdated or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct it. You may update basic account details directly via your player dashboard, or contact us for more complex corrections.
10.3 Right to Deletion ("Right to be Forgotten")
You may request that Fortunica Casino delete your personal data in certain circumstances — for example, where the data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or where you have withdrawn consent. Please note that we may be required to retain certain data to comply with legal obligations (such as AML record-keeping), even after your account is closed.
10.4 Right to Restriction of Processing
You may request that we restrict data processing in circumstances where, for example, you contest the accuracy of the data or object to our processing on legitimate interest grounds. While a restriction is in place, we may store the data but not actively use it.
10.5 Right to Data Portability
Where data processing is based on your consent or on a contract, and is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and to transmit it to another controller.

You have the right to object at any time to data processing based on our legitimate interests, including profiling. You also have an absolute right to object to data processing for direct marketing purposes, after which we will immediately cease all marketing communications.
10.7 Right to Withdraw Consent
Where data processing is based on your consent (such as for marketing communications or the use of non-essential cookies), you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time without detriment. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before the withdrawal.
10.8 How to Exercise Your Rights
To exercise any of your privacy rights, please submit a written request to our Data Protection Officer at [email protected]. To protect your personal information, we may ask you to verify your identity before processing your request. We will respond within 30 calendar days. In complex cases, this period may be extended by a further 60 days, in which case we will notify you within the initial 30-day window.

If you believe that Fortunica Casino has handled your personal data in a way that does not comply with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 or the Australian Privacy Principles, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).
- Website: oaic.gov.au

We encourage you to contact us in the first instance so that we can address your concern directly and promptly. However, you are entitled to approach the OAIC at any time without first contacting Fortunica Casino.

12. Children's Privacy
Fortunica Casino is strictly an adult platform. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 18. All players are required to verify their age as part of the registration and KYC process.
