Who We Are
BlackjackBet.co.uk is operated by BetSafe Gaming Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 12345678, with its registered office at 123 Casino Street, London, EC1A 1BB. We are fully licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission (licence number 000-1234-56789) to provide online blackjack and casino services to UK players.
As a responsible operator, we adhere to the highest standards of gambling data protection. Our team is dedicated to creating a safe and enjoyable gaming environment while respecting your privacy rights under UK data protection laws.
We process personal data as a data controller, meaning we determine the purposes and means of processing your information for our services.
Scope of This Policy
This privacy policy applies to all users of BlackjackBet.co.uk, including visitors, registered players, and those engaging with our marketing activities. It covers data collected via our website, mobile app, customer support channels, and promotional emails.
The policy does not apply to third-party sites linked from our platform or employment-related data processing. By using our services, you consent to the practices described herein, subject to your rights under UK GDPR.
We may update this policy periodically, and continued use constitutes acceptance of changes.
Commitment to UK GDPR and Data Protection
BlackjackBet.co.uk is fully committed to UK GDPR compliance as a GDPR blackjack site. We implement robust data protection principles, including lawfulness, fairness, transparency, purpose limitation, data minimisation, accuracy, storage limitation, integrity, and accountability.
Our gambling data protection measures align with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) for marketing and cookies. We conduct regular Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) for high-risk processing activities like age verification and anti-money laundering checks.
Your trust is paramount, and we appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO) to oversee compliance and handle your queries.
Information We Collect
We collect only the personal data necessary to provide our blackjack and casino services securely and in compliance with UK regulations. This includes data you provide directly and information gathered automatically during your interactions with BlackjackBet.co.uk.
All collections are proportionate and justified under UK GDPR, with clear lawful bases such as consent, contract performance, legal obligation, or legitimate interests.
Personal Data from Registration
During account registration, we collect basic personal details to create and verify your player account. This ensures a secure environment and compliance with age and identity requirements under UK gambling laws.
You provide this data voluntarily, but it is essential for accessing our services. Failure to provide it may prevent account activation.
Account Details and Verification
Account details include your chosen username, password, email address, date of birth, and full name. For verification under Know Your Customer (KYC) rules, we require proof of identity (e.g., passport or driving licence) and proof of address (e.g., utility bill).
These documents are securely scanned and stored encrypted. Verification typically completes within 48 hours, enabling full access to deposits and withdrawals.
We use third-party services for automated checks to minimise manual handling of sensitive data.
Usage Data and Gameplay Information
We automatically collect usage data such as your IP address, device type, browser information, session duration, and pages visited. Gameplay information includes bets placed, game outcomes, win/loss records, and time spent playing blackjack or other casino games.
This data helps us improve our platform and detect unusual activity for responsible gambling purposes.
It is anonymised where possible for analytics, reducing privacy impact.
Payment and Transaction Data
For deposits and withdrawals, we collect payment method details (e.g., card number last four digits, PayPal email) and transaction history, including amounts, dates, and statuses. Full card details are never stored by us; they are tokenised by payment providers.
This ensures secure financial transactions compliant with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
We monitor for fraud but only retain necessary details for dispute resolution.
Marketing and Communication Preferences
We record your preferences for marketing emails, SMS, or push notifications, including opt-in consents and any unsubscribes. Communication data includes support ticket details and chat transcripts.
These preferences allow personalised promotions while respecting your choices under PECR.
- Email opens and clicks for campaign optimisation.
- Survey responses for service feedback.
How We Use Your Information
Your data is used solely for legitimate purposes outlined here, always balancing our needs with your rights. Lawful bases include contract necessity for services and legitimate interests for improvements.
We never sell your data and prioritise minimisation.
Providing Blackjack and Casino Services
We use your data to manage accounts, process bets, payouts, and technical support. Registration details enable login and game access, while gameplay data powers real-time blackjack tables.
Verification data ensures only eligible UK players participate, upholding Gambling Commission standards.
Payment data facilitates seamless transactions.
Personalising Your Experience
Usage and gameplay data help tailor game recommendations, bonuses, and interface settings. For example, frequent blackjack players see relevant promotions.
This enhances enjoyment without compromising privacy, using aggregated insights where possible.

With Service Providers
Trusted providers handle specific tasks: payment gateways (e.g., Stripe), cloud hosting (e.g., AWS), analytics (e.g., Google), and verification services (e.g., Onfido).
They process data on our behalf under strict contracts, with no independent use allowed.
