This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, process, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, create an account, or use our sports betting services. We process your data in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where applicable.

How We Use Your Information
22Bet uses your personal data for specific, legitimate purposes related to our sports betting operations:
We process your information to create and manage your betting account, verify your identity as required by gambling regulations, and ensure compliance with anti-money laundering laws. Your financial data enables us to process deposits, withdrawals, and betting transactions securely.
We analyze your account activity to detect suspicious behavior, prevent fraud, and maintain the integrity of our platform. This includes monitoring for problem gambling indicators and implementing responsible gambling measures when necessary.
Your communication preferences help us send relevant promotional offers, betting odds updates, and important account notifications. We also use aggregated data to improve our website functionality and develop new features that enhance user experience.
Legal Basis for Processing
We process your personal data based on several legal grounds under applicable data protection laws. Contract performance forms the primary basis for processing data necessary to provide our betting services, including account management and payment processing.
Legal compliance requires us to verify customer identities, maintain transaction records, and report suspicious activities to relevant authorities. Our legitimate interests include fraud prevention, platform security, marketing communications to existing customers, and business analytics that do not override your privacy rights.
Where required, we obtain your explicit consent for specific processing activities, such as marketing communications or optional data collection that enhances your user experience.
Data Sharing and Disclosure
22Bet shares your personal information only when necessary and with appropriate safeguards in place. We work with trusted third-party service providers who assist with payment processing, identity verification, customer support, and technical infrastructure maintenance. These partners are contractually bound to protect your data and use it only for specified purposes.
We may disclose your information to regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or other governmental bodies when required by law or to comply with legal obligations. This includes reporting requirements under gambling licenses and anti-money laundering regulations.
In the event of a business merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity, subject to the same privacy protections outlined in this policy.
Data Security
We implement comprehensive security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our platform uses industry-standard encryption protocols, secure socket layer (SSL) technology, and multi-factor authentication systems.
Access to your personal data is restricted to authorized personnel who require this information to perform their job functions. We regularly update our security systems, conduct vulnerability assessments, and maintain backup procedures to ensure data integrity and availability.
While we strive to protect your information using reasonable security measures, no system is completely secure. We encourage you to use strong passwords and keep your login credentials confidential.
Your Privacy Rights
You have several rights regarding your personal data under applicable privacy laws. You may request access to the personal information we hold about you, including details about how we process and share this data.
You can request corrections to inaccurate or incomplete personal information and ask us to delete your data in certain circumstances, subject to our legal and regulatory obligations. You may also object to specific processing activities or request data portability where technically feasible.
To exercise these rights, contact our privacy team using the information provided in the Contact Us section. We will respond to your requests within the timeframes required by applicable law and may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests.
Cookies and Tracking
Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience and improve our services. Essential cookies enable basic website functionality, while performance cookies help us analyze site usage and identify areas for improvement.
We use functional cookies to remember your preferences and settings, making your return visits more convenient. Marketing cookies may track your activity across websites to deliver personalized advertising content.
You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings, though disabling certain cookies may limit website functionality. Our cookie banner provides options to accept or decline non-essential cookies when you first visit our site.
Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy and comply with legal requirements. Active account data is maintained while your account remains open and for a reasonable period after closure to address any outstanding issues.
Financial transaction records are kept for the periods required by gambling regulations and tax laws, typically five to seven years. Communication records and dispute resolution data are retained for shorter periods unless ongoing legal matters require longer retention.
We regularly review our data retention practices and securely delete information that is no longer needed for legitimate business purposes or legal compliance.
International Data Transfers
22Bet may transfer your personal data to countries outside your jurisdiction to provide our services effectively. When we transfer data internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information according to applicable data protection standards.
These safeguards may include adequacy decisions by relevant authorities, standard contractual clauses, or other legally recognized transfer mechanisms that provide equivalent protection to your personal data.
Children's Privacy
Our services are intended exclusively for adults aged 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the legal gambling age in their jurisdiction. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected data from a minor, we will promptly delete this information and close any associated accounts.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or business operations. We will notify you of material changes through email or prominent website notices, giving you time to review the updated terms before they take effect.
