At Spirit Casino, we take your privacy seriously.

Whether you are browsing our game catalogue, creating an account, or making a deposit, understanding your rights and our obligations is essential.

5. Spirit Casino Cookie Policy
The Spirit Casino cookie policy governs how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on spirit-australia.com. Cookies are small text files placed on your device that help us deliver a faster, more personalised experience. By continuing to use our site, you agree to the use of cookies as described below. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through your browser settings or our on-site consent manager.
5.1 Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. They enable core services such as secure login sessions, shopping-cart equivalents (bonus selections), and fraud-detection mechanisms. Because they are essential to the operation of spirit-australia.com, they cannot be disabled without significantly impairing site functionality.
Analytical Cookies
Analytical cookies help us understand how players interact with Spirit Casino. We use tools such as Google Analytics to measure page views, session lengths, and navigation paths. The data collected is aggregated and anonymised wherever possible, meaning it does not directly identify individual users. This information guides our efforts to improve data security, site performance, and user experience.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember your preferences — such as your preferred language, currency, or game filters — so you do not have to reconfigure settings on each visit. They contribute to a seamless, personalised gaming session at Spirit Casino.
Marketing and Targeting Cookies
With your consent, Spirit Casino uses marketing cookies to deliver relevant promotional content and to track the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. These cookies may be set by trusted third-party advertising partners and may track your activity across other websites. You may opt out of marketing cookies at any time by updating your consent preferences.
5.2 Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Most modern browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings menus. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of spirit-australia.com. For more information on managing cookies, visit the browser-specific support pages for Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge. Our on-site cookie banner allows you to accept all, reject non-essential, or customise your cookie preferences at any time.
6. Sharing Your Personal Data with Third Parties
Spirit Casino does not sell your personal data to third parties. However, in order to provide our full suite of services, we may share your information with the following categories of recipients under strict contractual safeguards:
- Payment Processors: PayID, Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller, Paysafecard, Neosurf, and cryptocurrency networks require access to relevant financial and identification data to process transactions securely.
- Identity Verification Providers: Third-party KYC bureaus assist us in verifying your identity and complying with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) obligations.
- Regulatory Authorities: We may be required by law to disclose your personal information to the Government of Curaçao (our licensing authority), law enforcement agencies, or financial intelligence units.
- Game Providers: Providers such as Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, Play'n GO, NetEnt, Microgaming, Yggdrasil, Hacksaw Gaming, Push Gaming, Spribe, Red Tiger, Nolimit City, and Relax Gaming may receive limited technical data necessary to deliver their games and certify RNG integrity.
- Affiliate and Marketing Partners: Where you arrived at Spirit Casino through an affiliate link, that partner may receive confirmation of your registration (but not your financial or gaming data) for commission-tracking purposes.
- IT and Cloud Service Providers: Hosting, security, and analytics vendors process certain user data on our behalf under data-processing agreements that enforce the same data protection standards we apply.
All third-party arrangements are governed by written data-processing agreements that require our partners to maintain appropriate technical and organisational measures for information security.
7. International Data Transfers
Because Spirit Casino operates globally and uses cloud infrastructure, your personal data may be transferred to, and processed in, countries outside Australia. These may include countries within the European Economic Area (EEA) and Curaçao, as well as other jurisdictions where our service providers are located. When transferring user data internationally, Spirit Casino ensures that adequate safeguards are in place — such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, or equivalent protections recognised under Australian law. We will never transfer your data to a jurisdiction that does not provide an appropriate level of data protection.
8. Data Security at Spirit Casino
Spirit Casino data protection measures are among the most robust in the online gaming industry. We implement a multi-layered approach to data security and information security to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
8.1 Technical Security Measures
- 256-bit SSL/TLS Encryption: All data transmitted between your browser or mobile device and our servers is encrypted using industry-standard 256-bit SSL/TLS protocols, ensuring that your personal information cannot be intercepted in transit.
- Firewalls and Intrusion Detection Systems: Our servers are protected by enterprise-grade firewalls and continuously monitored by intrusion-detection systems that alert our security team to any suspicious activity.
- Encryption at Rest: Sensitive personal data — including financial records and identification documents — is encrypted when stored on our servers, providing an additional layer of data security.
- RNG Certification: Our random number generators are independently certified by accredited testing laboratories to guarantee fair play and the integrity of gaming outcomes.
8.2 Organisational Security Measures
- Access to personal data is restricted to authorised personnel on a strict need-to-know basis.
- All staff who handle user data undergo mandatory training in data protection and information security best practices.
- Regular internal audits and third-party penetration tests are conducted to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities.
- A documented incident-response plan is in place to ensure rapid and transparent notification in the event of a data breach.
Despite our rigorous data security programme, no system is entirely infallible. In the unlikely event of a breach affecting your personal data, Spirit Casino will notify you and the relevant supervisory authority as required by law.
9. Data Storage and Retention Periods
Spirit Casino retains your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy or as required by applicable law. Our data storage periods are governed by the following principles:
| Data Category | Retention Period | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Account and identification data | 5 years after account closure | AML / KYC regulatory obligations |
| Financial transaction records | 7 years after transaction date | Tax and financial regulatory requirements |
| Gaming activity logs | 5 years after last activity | Dispute resolution and responsible gambling audits |
| Customer support communications | 3 years after resolution | Quality assurance and dispute management |
| Marketing consent records | Until consent is withdrawn + 3 years | Proof of consent |
| Cookie and analytics data | Up to 13 months | Platform analytics and improvement |
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, your personal data will be securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with you. Our data storage practices are reviewed annually to ensure continued compliance with Australian and international regulations.
10. Your Privacy Rights
Spirit Casino is committed to honouring your privacy rights under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and, where GDPR applies, under European law. The Spirit Casino privacy framework recognises the following privacy rights for all our players:
10.1 Right of Access
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data Spirit Casino holds about you. We will respond to verified access requests within 30 days. Where requests are particularly complex, we may extend this period by a further 30 days, with prior notification.
10.2 Right to Correction
If any personal information we hold is inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date, you have the right to request that we correct it. You may also update certain account details directly through the Spirit Casino player portal.
10.3 Right to Deletion
Subject to our legal retention obligations (including AML/KYC requirements), you may request that we delete your personal data. Where deletion is not immediately possible due to mandatory data storage requirements, we will restrict the processing of your data to the minimum necessary.
10.4 Right to Restriction of Processing
You may ask Spirit Casino to restrict the data processing of your personal information in certain circumstances — for example, while the accuracy of your data is being verified, or where you have objected to processing and we are assessing the grounds for that objection.
10.5 Right to Data Portability
Where data processing is based on your consent or on a contract, and is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, or to request that we transmit it directly to another controller where technically feasible.
10.6 Right to Object
You have the right to object to data processing based on legitimate interests, including profiling for direct marketing purposes. Upon receipt of a valid objection, Spirit Casino will cease the relevant processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
10.7 Right to Withdraw Consent
Where we rely on your consent for any data processing — such as sending you promotional emails or setting non-essential cookies — you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of any processing that took place before you withdrew consent.
To exercise any of these privacy rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer at [email protected]. We will respond promptly and at no cost to you. We may ask you to verify your identity before processing your request to protect against unauthorised access to your personal data.
11. Responsible Gambling and Data Processing
Spirit Casino processes certain categories of personal data specifically to support responsible gambling. Our responsible gambling tools — which include deposit limits, bet limits, loss limits, session duration limits, cooling-off periods (24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days), and self-exclusion options (6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or permanent) — require us to record and monitor your gaming activity. This data processing is carried out under a legal obligation and in your vital interest. Information related to self-exclusion is treated with the highest level of confidentiality and is only accessible to the staff members responsible for managing responsible gambling programmes. Spirit Casino may also share self-exclusion data with third-party gambling platforms where required by law or agreed to by you, to prevent you from opening new accounts during an exclusion period.
12. Supervisory Authority — OAIC
In Australia, the body responsible for overseeing compliance with the Privacy Act 1988 is the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC). If you believe that Spirit Casino has not handled your personal data in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the OAIC. Before doing so, we encourage you to contact us directly so that we can attempt to resolve your concern promptly and informally.
You can contact the OAIC at:
- Website: www.oaic.gov.au
- Phone: 1300 363 992
- Post: GPO Box 5218, Sydney NSW 2001

The revised Spirit Casino privacy policy will take effect immediately upon publication, and your continued use of our site following notification constitutes your acceptance of those changes.
