When you register and play at AquaWin, we collect various types of information necessary to provide you with our gaming services and maintain a secure environment. Personal information collected includes your full name, date of birth, residential address, email address, and telephone number. We also collect financial information such as payment card details, bank account information, and transaction history to process deposits and withdrawals. Technical data is automatically gathered when you use our platform, including IP addresses, browser type, device information, operating system, and gameplay patterns. We maintain records of your gaming activity, including games played, stakes placed, wins and losses, and account balance history. Additionally, we collect verification documents such as government-issued identification, proof of address, and payment method verification to comply with regulatory requirements and ensure safe gaming practices.
How We Use Your Information
The information we collect serves multiple essential purposes related to operating AquaWin casino and providing you with quality gaming services. We use your personal data to create and manage your gaming account, verify your identity and age to prevent underage gambling, and process your financial transactions securely. Your information enables us to deliver personalised gaming experiences, communicate important updates about our services, and respond to your customer support enquiries. We analyse gameplay data to detect and prevent fraud, money laundering, and other illegal activities. Your information also helps us comply with legal and regulatory obligations imposed by Irish and European gaming authorities. We utilise technical data to improve our platform’s performance, enhance user experience, and develop new features. In support of safe gaming, we monitor player behaviour to identify potential problem gambling patterns and offer appropriate support and intervention when necessary.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
AquaWin maintains strict controls over how your personal information is shared with third parties. We only disclose your data when necessary and lawful to do so. We share information with payment processors and financial institutions to handle your deposits, withdrawals, and related transactions securely. Third-party service providers who assist us with technical infrastructure, customer support, data analytics, and marketing services may access your information under strict confidentiality agreements. We disclose information to regulatory bodies and law enforcement agencies when required by law or to comply with legal proceedings. In cases where we suspect fraudulent activity, money laundering, or other illegal behaviour, we may share relevant information with appropriate authorities and industry fraud prevention databases. Business partners who provide integrated gaming content may receive limited data necessary to deliver their services through our platform. We may also share anonymised and aggregated data that cannot identify individual users for research, statistical analysis, and business development purposes.

We maintain strict internal policies limiting employee access to personal data on a need-to-know basis, and all staff members undergo regular training on data protection and privacy requirements. Our systems are regularly tested and updated to address emerging security threats and vulnerabilities. We retain your personal information for as long as your account remains active and for a period thereafter as required by Irish gaming regulations and legal obligations.
