1win Privacy Policy in Canada
This Privacy Policy explains how personal information is collected, used, stored, shared, and deleted when users access the 1win online casino and sportsbook services in Canada. It applies to all visitors and registered account holders who interact with the platform, applications, and related services. The policy describes the purposes and legal grounds for data processing, based mainly on user consent and applicable law. By using these services, users confirm that they have read, understood, and agreed to the handling of their personal data as described in this document.
How Personal Data Is Collected and Protected?
- Identification information is collected when users create an account, such as name, date of birth, address, email, telephone number, and account credentials, to verify identity and enable access to the services;
- Transaction and payment information, including deposits, withdrawals, betting records, and payment method details, is processed to operate the gaming account, meet anti-money laundering obligations, and complete financial operations securely;
- Technical and usage data, such as IP address, device identifiers, browser type, operating system, and interaction logs, is recorded to maintain platform security, prevent fraud, and improve online performance;
- Verification documents, such as copies of identification, proof of address, and payment method ownership, may be requested to comply with age verification, know-your-customer, and regulatory requirements in Canada and other relevant jurisdictions;
- Communication information, including emails, chat logs, call recordings, and complaint records, is stored to respond to user requests, resolve disputes, and support responsible gaming measures;
- Preference and setting information, including language choice, notification settings, and responsible gambling limits, is retained to tailor services to each user and support safer play;
- Security measures include encryption of sensitive data in transit and at rest, access controls, multi-factor authentication where applicable, regular security assessments, and staff training on privacy procedures;
- Organisational safeguards include role-based access to personal information, confidentiality obligations for employees and contractors, documented retention schedules, and incident response procedures for potential data breaches;
- Data is stored on secure servers operated by the platform or trusted providers that apply industry-standard security controls and follow contractual data protection requirements;
- Personal information is kept only for as long as necessary to fulfil legal obligations, provide services, manage disputes, and satisfy regulatory record-keeping rules, after which it is securely anonymised or destroyed.
1win users have the right to request access to their personal information, ask for corrections of inaccurate data, and, in some circumstances, request deletion or restriction of processing. Users may also object to certain types of processing and can withdraw consent for specific activities where consent is the legal basis, subject to legal or regulatory limits.
The handling of personal data follows applicable privacy and data protection laws in Canada, as well as international standards such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where relevant. The platform aims to apply consistent safeguards for users in all provinces and territories, while respecting local gambling and privacy regulatory frameworks.
Purposes for Using Personal Information
Personal data collected from users in Canada is used by 1win to operate and manage gaming accounts, verify identity, and provide access to online casino and sportsbook services. Information is processed to handle deposits, withdrawals, bet settlement, and bonus management, and to deliver a stable, secure betting environment. Data is also used for customer support, technical maintenance, analytics, and product development to improve the quality and reliability of the services. Marketing communications may be sent in line with user preferences and applicable consent rules, and users can adjust or opt out of these communications at any time. In addition, information is processed to comply with anti-money laundering legislation, fraud prevention obligations, and other applicable regulations.
- Manage user registration, authenticate logins, maintain account profiles, and provide access to games, betting markets, and related services;
- Process financial transactions, including deposits and withdrawals, verify payment methods, and maintain accurate financial and betting records;
- Conduct age verification, identity checks, and ongoing monitoring to satisfy know-your-customer and anti-money laundering obligations;
- Monitor gameplay and account activity to detect and prevent fraud, abuse, bonus misuse, and suspicious behaviour that could affect the integrity of the platform;
- Provide customer support through email, chat, and other communication channels, investigate complaints, and manage dispute resolution;
- Analyse technical and behavioural data to maintain site performance, fix bugs, enhance security controls, and improve user experience on the online platform;
- Develop and refine products and services, including personalisation of content, responsible gambling tools, and interface improvements based on aggregate analytics;
- Send service notifications, account alerts, security messages, and, where permitted, promotional materials and offers that may be of interest to the user;
- Enforce terms and conditions, protect legal rights, and cooperate with law enforcement, regulators, and dispute resolution bodies when justified;
- Fulfil legal, regulatory, tax, and accounting obligations, including record keeping and reporting required by gaming and financial regulators.
All processing of personal information is based on lawful grounds, such as user consent, performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations, or legitimate interests that do not override user rights and freedoms. The platform aims to ensure transparency by informing users about key purposes before data is collected or used for new activities, and by offering accessible ways to manage privacy preferences.
Accessing and Managing Your Information
Users can access their personal information by logging into their account and reviewing the profile, payment, and settings sections available on the platform. Most basic details, such as contact information and preferences, can be updated directly by the user to keep records accurate and current. Where certain data cannot be edited online, users may contact customer support to request corrections, updates, or, in some cases, deletion, subject to legal and regulatory retention duties. Requests to restrict processing or obtain a copy of stored personal data can also be submitted through support channels or the designated privacy contact, and they will be handled within a reasonable period, in line with applicable law. By creating and maintaining an account, users acknowledge that security checks may be carried out using their information, and that payment and financial data may be processed by trusted electronic service providers to complete transactions and comply with banking and anti-money laundering rules. The platform maintains technical and organisational safeguards to protect privacy throughout these processes, limiting access to authorised personnel and partners that require the information to operate the services securely.
Protection of Minors and Age Restrictions
The 1win online casino and sportsbook services are intended only for users who are at least 18 years old, or any higher age required by applicable provincial gambling laws. Persons who do not meet the legal age requirement are not permitted to open an account, place bets, or use any real-money gaming services. Age cannot be fully verified without supporting documents, so users are required to provide accurate information and cooperate in verification checks when requested. Parents and legal guardians who believe that a minor has provided personal data are encouraged to contact support so that appropriate action can be taken.
- Age verification procedures, including requests for identity documents, may be applied at registration, during withdrawals, or at any other time deemed necessary;
- If it is discovered that a user is under the legal age, the account will be closed, betting activity will be reviewed, and personal information will be removed or anonymised in line with legal obligations;
- Any balances associated with an underage account will be handled in accordance with applicable law and regulatory guidance;
- Parents or guardians may request deletion of personal data relating to a minor by providing sufficient proof of their relationship and the minor’s identity;
- Educational information about responsible gambling and age restrictions may be displayed on the site and in communications to support the protection of young persons;
- Partnerships and marketing activities are structured to avoid targeting individuals under the legal gambling age in Canada.
International Storage and Transfer of Data
Personal information collected from users in Canada may be processed and stored by 1win on servers located outside the province or outside Canada, in countries where technology, payment, analytics, or customer support partners operate. Such transfers are required to deliver reliable online services, provide international payment options, and maintain secure infrastructure. By using the site and creating an account, users consent to their personal data being transferred and processed in these other jurisdictions, subject to appropriate protections. All partners that receive personal information are required to preserve confidentiality and apply adequate technical and organisational safeguards.
- Data may be stored or processed in countries that do not have the same privacy laws as Canada, but contractual clauses and safeguards are used to maintain a similar level of protection;
- Cross-border transfers are limited to partners and group companies that are necessary for operating accounts, processing payments, providing support, or delivering technology solutions;
- Service providers handling personal information are selected based on their security standards, compliance practices, and ability to meet privacy commitments;
- Agreements with third parties include confidentiality obligations, data protection requirements, and restrictions on using personal information for unrelated purposes;
- Where required, additional measures such as data minimisation, pseudonymisation, or encryption are applied before data is transferred internationally;
- Users can contact 1win’s privacy contact point to obtain further information about international transfers and the safeguards used to protect their information.
