Privacy Policy
Last Updated: December 19, 2025
At Golden Crown Casino, protecting your privacy isn't just a legal obligation—it's fundamental to building trust with our players. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and what rights you have regarding your personal data. We've written this in plain English rather than dense legal jargon, though the document remains legally binding.
By registering an account and using our services, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy. If you don't agree with any part of this policy, please don't use our casino. We recommend reading this entire document, but we've structured it clearly so you can jump to specific sections that interest you most.
Your Privacy Matters
We employ bank-level encryption, undergo regular security audits, and never sell your data to third parties. Your information is used solely to provide casino services and comply with legal requirements.
Information We Collect
Understanding what data we collect helps you make informed decisions about using our services. We collect only information necessary to operate the casino legally and provide you with excellent service.
Account Registration Information
When you create an account at Golden Crown Casino, we collect:
- Personal Details: Full name, date of birth, gender, and nationality. We need this to verify you're over 18 and eligible to gamble in your jurisdiction.
- Contact Information: Email address, phone number (optional), and residential address. These let us communicate important information about your account and comply with anti-money laundering regulations.
- Login Credentials: Username and encrypted password. Your password is hashed using industry-standard encryption—even we can't see your actual password.
- Verification Documents: Government-issued ID, proof of address, and payment method verification. Required by gambling regulations to prevent fraud and underage gambling.
Financial Information
To process deposits and withdrawals, we collect:
- Payment Details: Credit card information (last 4 digits only are stored), bank account details, cryptocurrency wallet addresses, or e-wallet information depending on your chosen payment method.
- Transaction History: Records of all deposits, withdrawals, bets placed, and winnings. This data is required for accounting, tax compliance, and responsible gambling monitoring.
- Payment Provider Data: Information shared by payment processors to verify transactions and prevent fraud.
Secure Payment Processing
We don't store complete credit card numbers. Payment processing is handled by PCI-DSS certified third-party processors. Card data is tokenized and encrypted during transmission. We never see or store your full card details, CVV codes, or banking passwords.
Gameplay and Activity Data
To improve our services and ensure fair play, we track:
- Gaming Activity: Games played, bet amounts, wins and losses, session duration, and playing patterns. This helps us identify problem gambling behavior and personalize game recommendations.
- Account Activity: Login times, IP addresses, device information, and geographic location. Used for security purposes and to detect unauthorized access.
- Bonus Usage: Which promotions you claim, wagering progress, and bonus terms compliance. Ensures fair bonus usage and helps us design better promotions.
- Support Interactions: Live chat transcripts, email correspondence, and support ticket history. Helps us improve customer service and resolve disputes.
