How We Handle Your Data
Collecting your information
The data we gather is limited to what a safe, legal real-money casino requires.
- Identity details: the full name, email, home address, phone number and date of birth you supply when registering.
- Verification documents: a photo ID from a government authority, proof of where you live and, if required, confirmation that the payment method in use is registered to you.
- Payment records: deposits, withdrawals, the methods used and their outcomes.
- Play records: your stakes, wins, game history, bonuses and Charlottetown Rewards activity.
- Technical data: your connection address, the device and software you use, and location signals for geolocation checks.
- Messages: emails sent between you and our team.
- Responsible play settings: the limits, breaks and self-exclusion options you choose.
Protecting under-age users
Nobody below the age of 19 may hold a Charlottetown Casino account, and deposits are blocked until we verify how old you are. If we learn that a person under 19 has been using a player profile, we shut it down and remove their data, keeping only the information the law requires us to hold onto. Full details of this policy appear on the Protecting Minors page.
Keeping your information
- Records of your identity, payments and account remain on file after closure for whatever period Canadian anti-money laundering and tax rules demand.
- We keep self-exclusion records for as long as needed to honour the exclusion.
- We remove or anonymise other data once there is no legal or business reason to hold it.

Explaining why we use it

Choosing your marketing

- You can change your preference in your account settings, or follow the opt-out instructions in any promotional message.
- No offers are ever sent to self-excluded accounts or to accounts on a cooling-off break.
- Choosing not to receive marketing will not stop the service messages we send about your account or your payments.
Securing your data
- We encrypt all data sent between your device and our site.
- Only employees whose work requires it can access personal information.
- Our payment partners process payment card details, and complete card details are never stored on our systems.
- We monitor our systems for unauthorised access.
Sharing with trusted parties
We never sell personal information. It is shared only with:
- Payment partners: for handling deposits and withdrawals.
- Verification partners: for confirming identity, age and location.
- Service partners: game studios, hosting, email delivery and fraud prevention.
- Authorities: where Canadian law requires disclosure.
Every partner must protect the data and may use it only for the task we assign.
Relying on legal grounds
Your information is processed so we can deliver the services we owe you under our contract and meet Canadian legal obligations. We also use it for legitimate interests, fraud prevention among them, and, with your agreement, for optional cookies and marketing. Withdrawing consent is possible at any time and leaves your account unaffected.
Transferring data beyond Canada
Certain partners may store or process data outside Canada. In those cases, our contracts oblige them to keep it as secure as Canadian rules require. Authorities in the receiving country may be entitled to access it under local law.
