We also like to hear your views to help us to improve our services, so we may contact you for market research purposes. You always have the choice about whether to take part in our market research and we will only ever do this with your consent.

We have legal and regulatory obligations that we need to comply with, as determined by our regulators (the Gambling Commission and the Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner), or as set out in the Gambling Act 2005 and Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice, Gibraltar Gaming Act 2005 and the Generic Code of Practice for the Gambling Industry. These obligations include, but are not limited to, Responsible Gambling obligations, Anti-money Laundering, Anti-fraud & Anti-terrorism laws. Information processed to meet these obligations would include; your name, online identity, player ID, contact information, game history, betting history including withdrawals and deposits, information we may hold on your wellbeing and any correspondence held on your account.

We take responsible gambling very seriously and we have an obligation to identify those at harm from gambling as early as we can and help them stop gambling by placing certain limits on accounts; this could include deposit limits, product limits, limiting the ability of an account to gamble to certain products/times/periods. To meet these obligations, we continuously analyse customer’s transactions and evaluate behaviour or financial status across all of our products and brands, which may lead us to make decisions on your account(s). We may use automated decision making when we carry out identity and validation checks on customer transactions. This is so we can help you to gamble responsibly and make sure we can meet our obligations in respect of social compliance. This may include affordability checks which could include obtaining data from other sources such as public domain information or credit history

We need to also check and validate your age to ensure you are old enough to gamble. We do this either by an automated method or ask you to provide ID documents to us.

We also need to record details if you are self-excluded and or where we believe a customer may have a gambling problem.

We do all of this because we have a legal obligation to do so, and to protect the vital interests of you the data subject and where necessary, other people.

In the interests of responsible gambling, we may share information about you between members of the Betfred Group regarding any self-exclusion. This is part of our ‘Keep it fun’ responsibly gambling policy.

We have an obligation to implement measures to identify and investigate any suspected unlawful, fraudulent, or improper activity connected with our services, including possible money laundering, and the use of proceeds of crime and fraud.

We may implement manual and automated checks when processing your personal data to highlight any suspicious activity. Automated identification, verification and credit checks are carried out on our behalf by third party organisations. We do this to protect our staff and other individuals from harm or loss. This processing may include monitoring your online activity, including transactions and payments, games played, bets placed and IP address information.

This processing is necessary for us to comply with our contractual and legal obligations. We may also process information this way if it is in the legitimate interests of our customers and or our business.

We may carry out profiling of you and your activity in relation to our services so we can tailor marketing communications to better suit your interests.

This will be undertaken based on your use of our services and your marketing selections made via the preference centre on your ‘My Account’ page. This helps us build a picture of you, your preferences, and your habits to better understand your interests and how you play. When we do this, we are doing so because it is in the legitimate interests of you our customer and our business.
