Responsible Gambling Monitoring: 888bets uses transaction and behavioural data to monitor for indicators of problem gambling. Where patterns of concern are identified, we may make contact to offer responsible gambling tools and support. This processing is carried out under our legitimate interest in protecting the welfare of our Players.
888bets does not sell, rent or trade your personal data to third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes. Any sharing of your data is strictly limited to what is necessary to deliver and operate the Platform services.
We share personal data with carefully selected third-party service providers who act as Data Processors on our behalf under binding contractual obligations. These include:
888bets may disclose personal data to governmental, regulatory or law enforcement authorities where required by applicable law, court order or regulatory directive. We will notify you of such disclosures where we are legally permitted to do so.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring or sale of all or part of 888bets's business operations, personal data held by 888bets may be transferred to the acquiring or successor entity. We will endeavour to notify affected Players prior to any such transfer and to ensure that the receiving entity maintains equivalent data protection standards.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised in a manner that prevents re-identification.
888bets implements a range of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, disclosure, alteration or destruction. These measures include:
Notwithstanding the above, no internet-based data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Players are also responsible for maintaining the security of their own Account credentials and should report any suspected unauthorised access to our support team immediately.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit the 888bets Platform. They enable the Platform to recognise your device, maintain your session state between pages, and remember your preferences. Without essential cookies, certain Platform features such as account login and bet placement would not function correctly.
You can manage and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to refuse all or certain types of cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being set. Disabling cookies beyond the strictly necessary category will not affect your ability to use the core features of the Platform but may affect certain personalisation and analytics functions.
As a user of the 888bets Platform, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data. Requests may be submitted to our support team at the contact details listed in Section 15.
You have the right to request confirmation of whether 888bets holds personal data about you, and to receive a copy of that data along with information about how it is being processed.
If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that it be corrected or updated. Many account details can be updated directly through your account profile settings.
In certain circumstances, you have the right to request deletion of your personal data. Note that where retention is required to comply with legal obligations (e.g., AML record-keeping), we are unable to erase that data until the mandatory retention period expires.
You may request that we temporarily restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances — for example, while an accuracy dispute is under review or where you have objected to processing and verification is pending.
Where processing is based on your consent or on contractual necessity, you have the right to receive a copy of your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format and, where technically feasible, to have that data transmitted to another controller.
You may object to the processing of your personal data where that processing is based on legitimate interests, including for direct marketing purposes. Objections to marketing will be honoured immediately. Objections to other processing will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
Where processing is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal. To withdraw consent for marketing communications, update your account preferences or contact support.
Response Timeframe: 888bets will respond to all verified data rights requests within 30 calendar days of receipt. Where a request is complex or involves a large volume of data, we may extend this period by a further 30 days with prior notification.
The 888bets Platform is intended exclusively for adults. As stated in our Terms & Conditions, access is restricted to individuals aged 21 years or older. 888bets does not knowingly collect, process or retain personal data belonging to individuals under the age of 21.
