The platform will assess and correct inaccurate data within a reasonable time, subject to verification and legal constraints. In some cases, documentary proof may be required (for example, updated ID records or address confirmation).

- Payment-related data may be processed by the platform and by authorised payment service providers, banks, card schemes, and relevant financial intermediaries.

Such processing is carried out in line with contractual obligations, legal requirements, and this Privacy Policy.
Protection of Children’s Privacy
Age restrictions
This platform is intended only for persons who are at least 18 years old and who are legally permitted to participate in online gaming and betting under Indian law and any other applicable local regulations. Opening an account or using the services by a minor is not allowed.
Limitations in age verification
The operator takes reasonable steps to prevent access by minors, including age declarations during registration, identity verification procedures, and ongoing checks where necessary. However, age cannot be confirmed for every user without valid supporting documents. The platform relies on information provided by users and on verification checks performed during KYC processes.
Handling of minors’ personal data
If it is discovered that personal information belongs to a user who is under 18 years of age, the account will be suspended or closed, and reasonable steps will be taken to delete or anonymise the data, unless retention is required for legal, regulatory, or enforcement reasons. Parents or legal guardians who believe that a minor has provided personal information are encouraged to contact the platform promptly. Upon receiving a valid request and proof of guardianship, appropriate action will be taken to remove or restrict the minor’s data, in line with legal obligations.
International Data Transfers
Processing personal data in other countries
The platform may store and process personal information on servers located outside India, and may allow access to data from other jurisdictions where group entities, technology partners, payment processors, or service providers are based. These locations may have data protection laws that differ from those in India.
Categories of foreign processing activities can include:
- Hosting of website infrastructure, databases, and backup systems.
- Provision of customer support, IT maintenance, and security monitoring.
- Processing of payments, chargebacks, and financial reconciliations.
- Conducting KYC, AML, and fraud prevention checks using specialised providers.
Consent and safeguards for cross-border transfers
By using the services, registering an account, or providing personal information, users consent to the transfer, storage, and processing of their data in countries other than India, for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. The platform aims to ensure that such transfers are subject to suitable safeguards, such as contractual protections, standard data protection clauses where appropriate, confidentiality obligations, and secure technical arrangements.
All partners and service providers handling personal data are required, through contracts or equivalent arrangements, to maintain the confidentiality and security of information, to use it only for authorised purposes, and to comply with applicable data protection and financial crime laws.
Legal Disclaimer
Scope of the Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy is intended to provide a general explanation of how personal data is collected, used, and protected. It does not grant any rights or impose obligations beyond those required under applicable law and the terms and conditions of the services. In case of inconsistency between this document and mandatory provisions of law, those legal provisions will prevail.
Effect of disclaimer and user acceptance
The legal disclaimer within this Privacy Policy may limit or clarify how certain rules apply in practice, for example, where data must be retained despite a deletion request due to statutory obligations. The Privacy Policy, including this disclaimer, applies from the moment a user accepts it by:
- Using or accessing the website or mobile applications.
- Creating or maintaining an account.
- Clicking to accept or agree where such option is presented.
By such acceptance, users acknowledge that they have read and understood this document and consent to data processing as described, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Use of Cookies
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on a user’s device when visiting websites. They allow the site to recognise the device, remember certain information about preferences, and understand how services are used over time.

Responsibility of third parties
Third parties use personal data according to their own privacy policies and legal obligations.

These external websites and applications are operated by independent third parties and are not controlled by the operator of this platform.
No responsibility for external privacy practices
When users access third-party websites, their personal information will be handled according to the privacy policies and terms set by those third parties. The operator is not responsible for how external sites collect, use, store, or share data, and cannot guarantee their security or compliance practices.

Before providing any personal or financial information on another website, users should review that site’s privacy policy, terms of use, and security practices.
