We operate a strictly 18+ platform and adhere to the DCMS Voluntary Code for responsible play.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use your data to process entries and enforce our safety tools. Specifically:

  • Legal Compliance: To provide winner details to the ASA if requested to prove draw integrity.

4. Data Sharing & Third-Party Processors

We do not sell your data. To operate securely, we share data with the following appointed providers:

  • Payment Processing: We have appointed Cashflows to handle secure payment transactions. No payment data is processed by us directly.

  • Delivery: Courier services for prize fulfillment.

5. Data Security & Retention

We retain your data only for as long as necessary. If you choose to self-exclude, we will retain your identity data specifically to ensure we can block any future attempts to create an account, as part of our commitment to your safety.
