Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how VeryWell collects, processes, protects, discloses and destroys personal data belonging to users of its casino and sportsbook services in the United Kingdom. It applies to every visitor and registered account holder accessing the platform from a desktop or mobile device. All processing of personal information described in this document relies on consent given by the user at registration or through continued use of the services. The policy also outlines the security measures applied to stored data and the rights available to users under United Kingdom law. This document helps users understand how their information is handled at each stage of their relationship with VeryWell.
Privacy and Data Protection Practices
VeryWell places strong emphasis on protecting the personal data of its users across the United Kingdom. Information is collected only where necessary to open an account, process transactions, verify identity and meet the requirements of the UK Gambling Commission. Technical and organisational measures, including encryption, access controls and regular audits, are applied to keep this information secure. The following points summarise how data is collected and safeguarded:
- Personal details such as name, date of birth and address are collected during registration to confirm identity.
- Contact information, including email address and phone number, is used for account communication.
- Payment details are collected to process deposits and withdrawals.
- Device and browser information is gathered to support account security.
- Activity logs, including betting and gaming history, are retained for regulatory reporting.
- Identity documents may be requested to comply with age and verification checks.
- Encryption protocols protect data transmitted between the user and the platform or app.
- Access to stored data is restricted to authorised personnel only.
- Regular security assessments are carried out to identify and address vulnerabilities.
- Data retention periods follow guidance set by the Information Commissioner’s Office.
Users have the right to access the personal data held about them, request corrections where information is inaccurate, and ask for deletion where retention is no longer required by law. These rights can be exercised by contacting VeryWell’s support team directly.
VeryWell operates in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, and works under the oversight of the Information Commissioner’s Office and the UK Gambling Commission.
How Personal Information Is Used
Personal data gathered by VeryWell supports the operation of casino and sportsbook services for users based in the United Kingdom. Information collected at registration or during account activity is applied to manage accounts, process transactions and improve the overall quality of services offered. Some data is also used to meet obligations set by gambling and financial regulators. Marketing communications and analytics rely on separate consent, which users may withdraw at any stage. The list below outlines the main purposes for which collected information is used:
- Account setup and management.
- Identity and age verification before access is granted.
- Transaction handling, including deposits, withdrawals and refunds.
- Fraud detection and prevention across user accounts.
- Compliance with gambling and financial reporting obligations.
- Website and service improvements based on usage data.
- Notifications related to account activity and security alerts.
- Marketing communications sent where consent has been given.
- Analysis of usage patterns to support new features.
- Customer support responses to user enquiries.
Every use of personal data described above rests on a lawful basis recognised under United Kingdom data protection law, and VeryWell maintains transparency about the purpose behind each processing activity.
Accessing and Updating Personal Information
Users can review the personal information held in their VeryWell account by logging into their profile and checking the details submitted at registration. Corrections or updates to personal details, such as address or contact information, can be made directly through the account settings or by contacting customer support for assistance. Where a user requests deletion of certain information, the request is reviewed against retention obligations set by gambling and financial regulators before action is taken. Account verification may involve security checks, including confirmation of identity documents and payment methods, and users consent to these checks when submitting personal or payment information. Payment data submitted during transactions is handled by regulated electronic payment providers, and users consent to this processing when choosing a payment method. VeryWell maintains safeguards across these processes to protect user privacy and keep personal data secure throughout the account lifecycle.
Protecting the Privacy of Minors
VeryWell services are intended exclusively for individuals aged 18 and over, in line with United Kingdom gambling regulations. Age cannot be confirmed through the website alone, so identity documents are required before withdrawals or continued account use are permitted. Where VeryWell becomes aware that a minor has submitted personal data, or a parent or guardian raises this concern, the information is removed following verification.
- Registration is restricted to users who confirm they are 18 or older.
- Identity and age verification documents may be requested at any stage.
- Accounts suspected of belonging to a minor are suspended pending review.
- Parents or guardians may request the deletion of a minor’s data by contacting support.
- Verified requests result in the permanent removal of the minor’s personal information.
- Access to gambling services remains blocked once a minor’s account is identified.
International Transfer of Personal Data
Personal data submitted to VeryWell may be processed in countries outside the United Kingdom where technology, payment or verification partners operate. By using the platform, users consent to this transfer of information as part of the standard operation of casino and sportsbook services. VeryWell requires all partners handling personal data abroad to maintain confidentiality and apply protections consistent with United Kingdom data protection standards.
- Data may be processed by partners located within the European Economic Area or beyond.
- Transfers rely on safeguards such as standard contractual clauses where required.
- Payment providers may process transaction data in their country of operation.
- Verification and fraud prevention partners may access data from other jurisdictions.
- All partners are contractually bound to protect the confidentiality of personal data.
- Users may contact support for further information about specific data transfers.
