Megawayscasino Privacy Policy

Who is responsible for your data

Megawayscasino is operated by Skill On Net Limited, and that company acts as the data controller for the personal information you give us. We hold a licence from the Malta Gaming Authority (licence number MGA/CRP/171/2009/01), which sets conditions on how we verify players and keep records.

This policy is written for players in the United Kingdom, all of whom must be 18 or over. Read it alongside our Terms and Conditions, because the two documents work together. If anything here is unclear, ask us. We would rather explain than leave you guessing.

Your rights and how to use them

You control more than you might think. You have the right to:

  • access the personal data we hold about you;
  • have inaccurate data corrected;
  • ask for erasure, where we have no legal need to keep it;
  • receive your data in a portable format;
  • object to processing based on legitimate interests, and to direct marketing at any time;
  • restrict processing in certain circumstances.

To make a request, write to support@megawayscasino.com or use Live Chat (6am to midnight; our virtual assistant is available 24/7). We may ask you to prove your identity first, which protects you from someone else impersonating you. See our Contact page for the quickest route.

If you remain unhappy, you may complain to the Information Commissioner's Office, the UK data-protection authority, or to the data-protection supervisory authority for our licence jurisdiction in Malta.

How long we keep it

We keep data only as long as there is a reason to. Account and transaction records are retained for the period our licence and anti-money-laundering obligations require, which typically continues after an account is closed. Verification documents are stored securely for the same reason. Marketing preferences are kept until you opt out. When a retention period ends, we delete or anonymise the information.

Who else sees your data

We do not sell your personal information. We do share it, in a controlled way, with organisations that help us operate.

  • Payment providers and banks process your deposits and withdrawals.
  • Identity and verification services help us confirm documents and run the checks our licence demands.
  • Game suppliers and platform partners, including studios such as ELK Studios, Big Time Gaming, NetEnt, Evolution, Pragmatic Play, Playtech and Play'n GO, may receive technical information needed to deliver and audit the games.
  • Analytics and security providers help us measure site performance and block abuse.
  • Regulators, law enforcement and courts where the law requires disclosure.

Some of these recipients may be located outside the UK. Where that happens, we put appropriate safeguards in place so your data keeps a comparable level of protection.

Our legal bases for using your information

UK data-protection law requires us to have a lawful reason for every use of your data. We rely on four.

Contract. To run your account, take deposits and pay out withdrawals, we must process your details. Without them we simply cannot offer the service.

Legal obligation. Licensing and anti-money-laundering rules oblige us to verify who you are, check where your money comes from and keep records. This is why withdrawals stay pending until verification is complete.

Legitimate interests. We use limited data to prevent fraud, secure our systems, improve our games and handle disputes. We weigh this against your rights each time.

Consent. Where we send you promotions such as Prize Twister or Daily Picks offers, we do so only if you agreed. You can withdraw that consent whenever you like, and doing so will not affect the lawfulness of what we did before.

What we collect, and why we need it

We only gather information that has a job to do. Here is the honest list.

  • Account details: your name, date of birth, address, email address and telephone number. We need these to open an account and to confirm you are old enough to play.
  • Identity and verification documents: proof of ID, proof of address, evidence that you own the payment method you use, and, where required, evidence of the source of your funds. You upload these through our Upload Docs page.
  • Payment information: the method you choose (for example Visa, Mastercard, Fast Bank Transfer, PaysafeCard, Instant Payments by Citadel, WebMoney, PayPal or Apple Pay), transaction amounts and dates. Your minimum deposit is £10, and every movement of money is recorded.
  • Gameplay and account activity: games played, stakes, wins, bonus usage and login times. This lets us settle bets, apply bonus terms fairly and spot unusual behaviour.
  • Communications: messages sent through Live Chat, our virtual assistant or by email to support@megawayscasino.com.
  • Technical data: IP address, device type, browser and approximate location, used for security and to keep the site working properly.

Cookies, security and safer play

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you logged in, remember preferences, protect the site and measure how it performs. You can adjust non-essential cookies through your browser settings or the consent controls on the site. Blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the service from working.

We protect your information with technical and organisational safeguards, including restricted internal access. No system is perfectly secure, so please choose a strong password and keep it private.

Gambling should stay enjoyable. If it stops being so, GamCare offers free, confidential support on 0808 8020 133 or at gamcare.org.uk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do you ask for ID and proof of address?

Our Malta Gaming Authority licence and anti-money-laundering rules require us to verify who you are and where your funds come from before we process withdrawals. You upload documents through the Upload Docs page.

Do you sell my personal data?

No. We share it only with payment, verification, game, analytics and security partners who help us run the service, and with authorities where the law demands it.

Can I delete my data?

You can ask us to erase it. We will do so unless we are legally required to keep certain records, such as transaction and verification data, for a set period.

How do I stop marketing messages?

Withdraw your consent at any time by contacting support@megawayscasino.com or Live Chat. We will stop promotional contact, though we may still send essential account messages.

Who is the data controller?

Skill On Net Limited, the owner and operator of Megawayscasino, is the data controller for the personal data described in this policy.
