Legal Basis for Processing
Observe: UK GDPR requires a lawful basis for each processing activity. Expand: Because Chance Casino operates in a highly regulated gambling environment under licence 58245 issued to Apex Gaming UK Ltd, we rely on multiple overlapping legal bases. Reflect: Below we explain the main grounds we use.
Performance of a contract
- Account creation and management: Processing your registration data, verifying eligibility (e.g. age and location), managing your player account and providing customer support.
- Provision of gambling services: Enabling deposits, wagers, game participation, withdrawals, bonuses and loyalty schemes, as described in the Terms and Conditions on chancecas.com.
Compliance with legal obligations
- Gambling regulation (UKGC): Meeting obligations under the Gambling Act, the UKGC Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice, including identity verification, anti-money laundering (AML), counter-terrorist financing and responsible gambling duties.

Legitimate interests
- Security and fraud prevention: Protecting our platform, players and corporate group (including Apex Gaming Group N.V.) against fraud, abuse, unauthorised access and other harmful activity.
- Service improvement and analytics: Analysing aggregated or pseudonymised data to understand performance, detect technical issues and improve games and site features.
- Business operations: Operating Chance Casino efficiently, including group-level reporting, internal governance and risk management.
Consent
- Marketing communications: Sending email, SMS or push notifications for promotions, bonuses or new features (where we are required to obtain your prior consent under UK GDPR and/or PECR).
- Optional cookies and tracking: Using non-essential cookies (e.g. advertising cookies) after you have provided consent through our cookie banner or settings.
You can withdraw consent at any time through your account settings, cookie preferences or by following the unsubscribe instructions in our messages. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before withdrawal and does not affect processing based on other legal grounds.
Purpose of Processing
Observe: We use personal data for clearly defined purposes. Expand: These purposes reflect regulatory requirements, operational needs and user expectations. Reflect: The main purposes are listed below.
- Providing and operating gambling services: To register and verify you as a player, open and maintain your account, offer games, process deposits and withdrawals, apply bonuses and manage loyalty or VIP schemes.
- Compliance and risk management: To perform age and identity checks, conduct AML/CTF screening, monitor for suspicious transactions, prevent fraud and meet obligations set by the UKGC and other competent authorities.
- Responsible gambling: To monitor patterns of play, offer tools such as deposit limits and self-exclusion, and, where appropriate, interact with you about safer gambling.
- Customer support and communication: To respond to your queries, handle complaints and provide important service updates (including changes to Terms or this Privacy Policy).
- Analytics and service improvement: To analyse usage trends, test new features, improve site performance and games, and enhance user experience on chancecas.com.

- Corporate management: To support business planning, reporting and management within Apex Gaming UK Ltd and its parent company, Apex Gaming Group N.V., while applying appropriate safeguards.
Disclosure & Sharing
Observe: Operating an online casino such as Chance Casino requires carefully controlled data sharing with third parties and regulators. Expand: We share only what is necessary, under contract and with safeguards. Reflect: The categories of recipients are described below.
- Payment service providers and banks: To process deposits, withdrawals and refunds, verify payment instruments, and carry out anti-fraud checks. These providers act as independent controllers or processors depending on the context.
- Technology and service providers: Hosting providers, game studios, KYC/AML verification services, analytics providers, anti-fraud tools, customer support platforms and IT security vendors who process data on our behalf under written data processing agreements.
- Regulators and authorities: The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC), financial intelligence units, tax authorities, courts and law enforcement bodies, where we are legally required or permitted to disclose information.
- Alternative dispute resolution (ADR): The Independent Betting Adjudication Service (IBAS) or other ADR entities approved by the UKGC, when you escalate a gambling-related dispute and we must share relevant data to resolve it.
- Group companies: Apex Gaming Group N.V. and other group entities (including those operating in Scandinavian and Canadian markets) for consolidated reporting, risk management and, where applicable, shared infrastructure, always subject to appropriate safeguards and, where required, international transfer mechanisms.
- Affiliates and advertising networks: Where you have given consent, we may share limited pseudonymised information (e.g. identifiers or conversion data) with marketing partners and affiliate networks to measure campaign performance and prevent fraud.
- Professional advisers: Lawyers, auditors, consultants and similar professionals who are bound by confidentiality obligations and only receive data necessary for their services.
- Corporate transactions: In connection with mergers, acquisitions, restructurings or asset transfers involving Apex Gaming UK Ltd or Apex Gaming Group N.V., subject to appropriate confidentiality and data protection safeguards.
We do not sell your personal data in the sense commonly understood as a commercial sale of personal information for monetary consideration.
International Transfers
Observe: As part of a group with presence in the United Kingdom and Malta and markets in Scandinavia and Canada, some processing may involve cross-border transfers. Expand: UK GDPR imposes specific rules for transfers outside the UK. Reflect: We apply recognised safeguards for any such transfers.
- Transfers within the UK and EEA: Data processed within the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area (including Malta where Apex Gaming Group N.V. is based) benefits from equivalent or "adequate" protection under UK and EU law.
- Transfers to Canada and other countries: Where data is accessed from or transferred to countries outside the UK/EEA (for example, in connection with group operations relating to Canadian or Scandinavian markets), we rely on UK-approved Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent contractual safeguards, and we assess local laws to ensure an appropriate level of protection.
- Transfers to service providers: When using non-UK/EEA service providers, we implement standard contractual clauses, technical measures (such as encryption and pseudonymisation) and internal policies to protect your data.
- No reliance on Privacy Shield: We do not rely on the former EU-U.S. Privacy Shield framework as a transfer mechanism. Where relevant, we use up-to-date transfer tools recognised by the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) and, where applicable, EU authorities.
Copies of the relevant transfer safeguards (or a description of them) can be requested through the contact channels described in the "Complaints & Contacts" section, subject to redactions for commercial confidentiality and security.
Data Retention
Observe: We must keep personal data only for as long as necessary. Expand: Gambling, financial and AML regulations often require us to retain data for minimum periods. Reflect: We apply defined retention periods and then delete or anonymise data where feasible.
- Player account and identification data: Typically retained for up to 5 years after your account is closed or after our business relationship ends, to meet AML, gambling and legal record-keeping obligations, and to handle potential disputes.
- Transactional and betting data: Deposits, withdrawals, wagers and game history are normally kept for 5 years from the relevant transaction or from account closure, whichever is later, unless longer retention is required by law or to resolve ongoing disputes.
- KYC/AML documentation: Copies of identity documents and source-of-funds information are maintained for at least 5 years after the end of the relationship, in line with applicable AML regulations.
- Marketing data: Data used for marketing is kept until you withdraw consent or object to marketing, after which it is promptly suppressed from active marketing lists but may be retained in a minimal form to respect your opt-out choice.
- Technical logs and security data: Server logs and security-related data are retained for periods typically between a few months and 2 years, depending on the nature of the data and security needs.
In all cases, we may retain data for longer where necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims, to respond to regulatory investigations, or to comply with legal obligations. Once retention periods expire, we either securely delete the data or irreversibly anonymise it so it can no longer be associated with you.
Your Rights
Observe: Individuals have rights under UK GDPR and, where applicable, other privacy frameworks. Expand: While Chance Casino is focused on Great Britain, our practices are designed to be broadly aligned with EU GDPR and, to the extent relevant, Mexican data protection standards. Reflect: Below we describe your key rights and how to exercise them.
Core data protection rights
- Right of access: You can request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and obtain a copy of that data, together with information about how we use it.
- Right to rectification: You can ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data (for example, updating your contact details).
- Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"): You can request deletion of your data where it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected, where you withdraw consent (and there is no other legal basis), or where processing is unlawful. This right is subject to legal and regulatory retention requirements, particularly under gambling and AML rules.
- Right to restriction of processing: You can ask us to limit processing in certain situations, for example while we verify accuracy or assess an objection.
- Right to object: You can object at any time to processing based on legitimate interests, including profiling for such purposes. You also have an absolute right to object to direct marketing, which we will respect immediately.
- Right to data portability: For processing based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means, you can request that we provide your data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, or that we transmit it to another controller where technically feasible.
- Right to withdraw consent: Where we rely on consent (e.g. for optional marketing or cookies), you may withdraw it at any time through your account settings, cookie banner/options or via the unsubscribe link in communications.
Alignment with Mexican privacy standards
For users located in Mexico, we aim for broad alignment with the principles of Mexico's Federal Law on the Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties (LFPDPPP) and its Regulations, including transparency, consent (where required), purpose limitation, proportionality and accountability. While our primary legal framework is UK law, many of the rights described above correspond to rights of access, rectification, cancellation and opposition (ARCO rights) recognised under Mexican law.
How to exercise your rights
- Request channels: You can submit rights requests through the contact channels provided on chancecas.com (for example, via designated privacy or support contact points described in your account or on the "Contact us" page).
- Verification: We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request, to protect your account and prevent unauthorised access.
- Response timeframes: We aim to respond to rights requests within one month (30 days) of receipt. In complex cases or where multiple requests are made, this may be extended by up to a further two months, but we will inform you of any extension and reasons.
- Fees: We handle rights requests free of charge, unless requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in which case we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act, as permitted by law.
If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority as set out in the "Complaints & Contacts" section.
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
Observe: Cookies and similar tools are essential to operate and improve Chance Casino on chancecas.com. Expand: Some are strictly necessary, while others require your consent under UK law. Reflect: Our cookie controls allow you to manage non-essential cookies.
Types of cookies we use
- Strictly necessary (session) cookies: Required to log you in, maintain your sessions, secure your account, process payments and provide core site functionality. These are usually session cookies that expire when you close your browser.

- Analytics/performance cookies: Help us understand how visitors use the site, which pages are popular, and where errors occur, so we can improve performance and usability.
- Advertising/targeting cookies: Set by us or third parties (such as affiliate partners or advertising networks) to deliver and measure personalised offers and campaigns, where you have given consent.
- Similar technologies: Pixels, tags, SDKs and local storage used for fraud prevention, analytics and marketing, treated in a similar way to cookies.
Cookie management
- On-site controls: When you first visit chancecas.com, and from time to time thereafter, you will see a cookie banner or preference tool allowing you to accept, reject or customise non-essential cookies.
- Browser settings: You can configure your browser to block or delete cookies. However, blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect the functionality of Chance Casino and could prevent you from using certain features.

Data Security
Observe: Protecting your data and transactions on Chance Casino is critical. Expand: We use technical and organisational measures consistent with industry good practice. Reflect: While no system is perfectly secure, we work to reduce risks to an acceptable level.
- Encryption in transit: Data transmitted between your device and chancecas.com is protected using TLS (Transport Layer Security) version 1.2 or higher, helping to safeguard information from interception or tampering.
- Encryption at rest and access control: Sensitive data is stored in secure environments with logical and physical access controls, and is encrypted or pseudonymised where appropriate. Access is limited to personnel who need it for their role and is governed by role-based permissions.
- Authentication and account protection: We encourage the use of strong, unique passwords and employ mechanisms to detect suspicious login behaviour. Where available, additional authentication measures may be used to strengthen account security.
- Security monitoring and audits: We conduct regular vulnerability assessments and security monitoring, and we work with specialised providers to assess and improve our security posture. We aim to align our practices with recognised standards such as ISO 27001 and SOC 2; unless explicitly stated otherwise, references to such standards indicate alignment with good practice rather than formal certification.
- Staff training and policies: Employees and contractors with access to personal data receive data protection and security training, and are bound by confidentiality obligations and internal policies.
- Incident response: We maintain procedures to detect, respond to and remediate security incidents. Where a personal data breach occurs that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority and, where required, affected individuals, in accordance with legal requirements.
