9pokies Casino Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how 9pokies Casino collects, uses, stores, and shares personal information when you access our website, create an account, make deposits (minimum deposit A$20), play casino games, or interact with our customer support and responsible gambling tools. It is written for players in Australia and should be read alongside any notices shown to you at the point we collect information (for example, during registration or verification).
We aim to handle personal information in a way that is reasonable, secure, and proportionate to the services we provide. By using 9pokies Casino, you acknowledge that you have read this policy and that you are at least 18 years old (or the legal minimum age where you access our services, if higher).

We only use such information to the extent necessary for legitimate operational, security, and compliance purposes.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

If you disable certain cookies, parts of the 9pokies Casino experience may not function as intended, such as staying logged in or loading personalised settings. For general guidance on managing cookies, you may refer to All About Cookies.
Data Sharing
We do not share personal information casually. 9pokies Casino shares information only when it is needed to provide the service, protect the platform, or meet legitimate operational requirements.
Who we may share data with
- Payment and banking partners to process deposits, withdrawals, chargebacks, and reconciliation.
- Identity verification and fraud-prevention providers to help protect players and the platform.
- Game and platform service providers that deliver gaming content, account infrastructure, or technical support.

- Professional advisers where necessary, such as legal, audit, or risk consultants.
Business transfers and corporate changes
If 9pokies Casino undergoes a corporate transaction such as a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, personal information may be transferred as part of that process. Where appropriate, we will take steps to ensure transferred information remains protected and used in line with this policy.
Legal and protective disclosures
We may disclose information if we believe it is reasonably necessary to comply with lawful requests, enforce our terms, address security incidents, or protect the rights and safety of players, our business, and the public. Because legal obligations can vary by circumstance, we assess such requests on a case-by-case basis.
Data Security
Security is central to maintaining trust in an online casino environment. 9pokies Casino uses a combination of administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to reduce the risk of unauthorised access, alteration, loss, or misuse of personal information.
- Access controls and role-based permissions to limit internal access to personal data.
- Encryption and secure communication methods where appropriate for data in transit and certain stored data.
- Monitoring tools to detect suspicious activity and protect accounts from takeover attempts.
- Operational procedures aimed at secure handling of verification documents and payment-related records.
No method of transmission or storage can be guaranteed as completely secure. Players can help protect their accounts by using strong passwords, keeping devices secure, and not sharing login details.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy. Retention periods vary depending on the type of data, how it is used, and whether it is needed for security, dispute handling, responsible gambling administration, or operational record-keeping.
- Account information is generally kept while your account remains active and for a reasonable period afterward for administration and security.
- Transaction and payment records may be kept for longer to support reconciliation, chargeback handling, fraud prevention, and audit trails.
- Verification information is retained as needed to demonstrate account integrity and to protect against duplicate or fraudulent accounts.
- Support communications may be kept to help us resolve issues, improve service quality, and maintain accurate records of interactions.
When information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to delete it or de-identify it in a way that reduces the likelihood of re-identification.
Your Rights
Your choices and rights may differ depending on your location and how you interact with 9pokies Casino. We support fair access and reasonable control over your personal information.
Common requests we can help with
- Access: request a copy of certain personal information we hold about you.
- Correction: ask us to correct inaccurate or outdated information.
- Deletion: request deletion where it is appropriate and feasible, noting that some information must be retained for security and record-keeping purposes.
- Restriction or objection: ask us to limit certain processing where applicable.
- Marketing preferences: opt out of promotional messages where such options are provided.
Account eligibility and age protection
9pokies Casino is intended for adults only. If we become aware that an account is associated with someone under 18, we will take steps to restrict access and handle associated information in a way that is appropriate to the circumstances.
Third-Party Services
9pokies Casino may integrate third-party tools and services that are necessary for delivering gameplay, processing payments, preventing fraud, measuring performance, or providing customer support features. These third parties may process personal information on our behalf under contractual controls aimed at protecting confidentiality and limiting use to agreed purposes.
Our website may also include links to external sites that we do not operate. If you follow a link to a third-party website, that site’s privacy practices will apply. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party service you choose to use.
International Transfers
Online casino operations can involve service providers and technical infrastructure located in different countries. As a result, personal information collected by 9pokies Casino may be processed or stored outside Australia depending on where our hosting, security, analytics, payment, or verification partners operate.
Where cross-border transfers occur, we take reasonable steps to ensure appropriate protections are in place, such as contractual safeguards and security requirements. The practical level of protection can vary by jurisdiction, and we encourage players to consider this when using online services.
Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, security practices, or operational needs. When updates are made, we will post the revised version on the 9pokies Casino website and adjust the effective date or update notice where appropriate.
If changes are material, we may provide additional notice through the platform, such as a message after login. Your continued use of the service after an update means you accept the revised policy to the extent permitted by applicable rules.
