Who We Are
Kingdom Casino NZ (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates the online gambling platform at casino-kingdomnz.com. We are the data controller responsible for your personal information collected through our website, mobile app, and related services. This policy applies to all players registered in New Zealand and governs how we handle your personal data in accordance with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 and applicable international standards including GDPR.
We collect only the information necessary to provide our services, comply with legal obligations, and protect both you and Kingdom Casino. Here is a complete breakdown of what we collect and why:
Full name, date of birth, gender, nationality, government-issued ID number. Collected during registration and KYC verification. Required by law for anti-money laundering compliance. | Email address, phone number, residential address, postcode. Used for account management, security alerts, and required regulatory correspondence. |
Payment method details (card last 4 digits, bank account identifiers), deposit and withdrawal history, transaction records. Full card numbers are never stored — processed by PCI DSS-certified providers only. | Games played, bets placed, session duration, win/loss records, bonus usage, responsible gambling limit settings. Used to provide the service and monitor for problem gambling indicators. |
IP address, device type, browser, operating system, screen resolution, time zone, geolocation (country/city level). Used for security, fraud prevention, and service optimisation. | Copies of government photo ID (passport, driver’s licence), proof of address documents, and payment method verification images. Stored encrypted and used solely for identity verification and AML compliance. |
We process your personal data only where we have a lawful basis to do so. Every use of your data falls into one of four legal categories: contract performance, legal obligation, legitimate interest, or consent.
⚙️
Service Delivery CONTRACT
Processing your registration, account management, deposits, withdrawals, bonus awards, gaming sessions, and customer support communications. This is the core reason we hold your data.
⚖️
Legal & Regulatory Compliance LEGAL OBLIGATION
Identity verification (KYC), anti-money laundering (AML) checks, age verification, problem gambling monitoring, tax reporting, and maintaining records required by our gaming licence and NZ law.
🛡️
Security & Fraud Prevention LEGITIMATE INTEREST
Detecting and preventing fraud, unauthorised account access, payment abuse, and multi-accounting. Monitoring for suspicious activity to protect all players and the integrity of the platform.
📧
Marketing Communications CONSENT
Sending promotional emails, SMS offers, and push notifications about bonuses and new games — only if you have opted in. You can withdraw consent and unsubscribe at any time from your account settings or via the unsubscribe link in any email.
📊
Service Improvement & Analytics LEGITIMATE INTEREST
Analysing aggregated, anonymised usage data to improve our platform, fix bugs, optimise game performance, and enhance the player experience. We never sell individual player data for analytics purposes.
✅We never sell your personal data. Kingdom Casino does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for their own commercial purposes — ever. Any sharing of data with third parties is strictly limited to what is necessary to operate our service or comply with the law.
We share your data with third parties only in these specific, limited circumstances:
▸Payment processors (Visa, Mastercard, POLi, and crypto networks) — to complete your financial transactions. They receive only the data necessary to process your payment.
▸KYC and identity verification providers — to verify your identity and age as required by our gaming licence. These providers operate under strict data processing agreements.
▸Game software providers (e.g., Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Microgaming) — receive anonymised session data to deliver game content. They do not receive your personally identifiable information.
▸Regulatory authorities and law enforcement — when required by law, court order, or our licensing authority. We cooperate fully with lawful requests while protecting your rights.
▸Fraud prevention databases — to cross-check against known fraudulent accounts, stolen payment methods, and self-excluded players listed in national exclusion registers.
