Richards Casino Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Richards Casino collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you visit our website, create an account, or use our online casino services from Australia. It is written to help you understand what data is involved in providing our services and the choices you may have.
We aim to handle personal information in a careful and proportionate way. Please read this policy alongside any in-product notices that may appear at the point of collection, as those notices may provide additional details about a specific feature or processing activity.
Information We Collect
Richards Casino collects information that you provide directly, information generated through your use of the services, and information obtained from third parties where appropriate. The categories below are examples; not every category will apply to every user.
- Account and profile details, such as your name, date of birth, username, password, and contact details.
- Identity and verification information, which may include documents and checks needed to confirm your identity and eligibility to use the services.
- Payment and transaction details, such as deposit and withdrawal records, payment method identifiers, and transaction timestamps (we do not intend to store full payment card details if a payment provider can process them on our behalf).
- Game and activity data, including gameplay history, bonuses used, session information, and responsible gaming settings you apply.
- Device and technical data, such as IP address, device identifiers, browser type, operating system, language settings, and diagnostic logs.
- Communications, including messages you send to customer support, feedback, and records of contact (for quality, security, and training purposes).
- Marketing preferences and consent status, where applicable.
- Information from third parties, such as payment providers, analytics tools, and service providers performing verification or risk checks, to the extent relevant and permitted.

We use information to operate Richards Casino, provide customer support, protect users, and maintain the integrity of our services. The main purposes include the following:
- Creating and administering accounts, including enabling log-in, maintaining profiles, and providing access to games and promotions.

- Personalising your experience, such as remembering settings, language choices, and displaying relevant content.
- Promoting offers and updates where permitted by your preferences and applicable requirements, including managing opt-in and opt-out requests.
- Maintaining security, detecting suspicious activity, and protecting the rights, property, and safety of Richards Casino, our users, and others.

Where we rely on your consent for a specific activity (for example, certain marketing communications), you can usually withdraw that consent through your account settings or the instructions provided in the message.

You can typically manage cookies through your browser settings. Some cookies are necessary for the website to function, and limiting them may affect your experience.
Data Sharing
We share personal information only where it is reasonably necessary to operate the services, provide requested functions, or manage risk and security. Depending on how you use Richards Casino, sharing may occur with the following types of recipients:
- Service providers that help us operate the website and provide features, such as hosting, analytics, customer support systems, security tooling, and communication platforms.
- Payment processors and financial service providers that enable deposits, withdrawals, and payment verification.
- Identity verification, fraud prevention, and risk management providers that help confirm details and detect suspicious activity.
- Professional advisers, such as legal, accounting, and auditing advisers, where needed for business operations.
- Authorities, regulators, courts, or law enforcement where we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to comply with a valid request, protect rights and safety, or address suspected unlawful activity.
- Corporate transactions recipients, such as in a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of assets, subject to appropriate confidentiality and continued protection of your information.
We do not sell personal information in the ordinary sense. When we use vendors, we expect them to handle data in line with contractual obligations appropriate to their role.
Data Security
Richards Casino uses technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. Security controls may include access restrictions, encryption in transit where appropriate, monitoring, and operational procedures for handling data.
No system can be guaranteed fully secure. You can help protect your account by using a strong, unique password and keeping your login details confidential.
Data Retention
We keep personal information for as long as needed to provide the services and for legitimate business purposes, such as maintaining records, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and meeting applicable obligations. Retention periods can vary depending on the type of information and why it was collected.
When information is no longer required, we will take steps to delete it, anonymise it, or securely store it and restrict access, depending on what is appropriate for the data and the purpose.
Your Rights
Depending on your circumstances and the nature of your interactions with Richards Casino, you may have rights in relation to your personal information. These may include:
- Requesting access to personal information we hold about you.
- Requesting correction of inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete information.
- Requesting deletion or de-identification of certain information, where practicable and appropriate.
- Objecting to, or requesting restriction of, certain processing activities in some circumstances.
- Managing marketing preferences, including opting out of promotional communications.
- Requesting a copy of information in a portable format where this is reasonable and supported.
Some requests may be limited because of security, legal, or operational reasons. If you ask us to action a request, we may need to verify your identity before responding.
Third-Party Services
Our website may include services provided by third parties, such as payment processing, identity checks, analytics, game providers, and embedded content. These third parties may process information as part of delivering their services.
Where third-party services are used, the information they collect and how they use it may be governed by their own policies. Richards Casino aims to select reputable providers and to enable integrations that are proportionate to the service being delivered.
International Transfers (General Only)
Richards Casino may use service providers and technical infrastructure that operate in multiple countries. This can mean that personal information may be processed or stored outside Australia.
When information is handled internationally, we take reasonable steps to ensure it is protected through appropriate safeguards, such as contractual requirements and security standards suitable for the type of data and the service being provided.
Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to our services, technology, or operational practices. When we make changes, we will update the content on this page and revise the effective information within the policy text where appropriate.
If an update materially changes how we use personal information, we may provide additional notice through the website or account communications.
