Heypokies Casino operates with players in Australia in mind and offers real-money gaming to adults aged 18 and over, with a minimum deposit of $A20. This policy should be read together with any relevant site terms and responsible gaming information, as privacy and account security are closely connected.

We aim to use information in a proportionate way and only for purposes connected to providing and protecting the services, unless you have been informed otherwise.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Heypokies Casino uses cookies and similar technologies to keep the site functional, remember preferences, support security, and understand how the platform is used. These technologies can include cookies, local storage, pixels, and server-side identifiers.
Types of cookies we may use
- Strictly necessary cookies to enable core functions such as account login, navigation, and fraud prevention.
- Preference cookies to remember settings like language, display preferences, or session choices.
- Performance and analytics cookies to understand site usage and help improve stability and user experience.
- Marketing cookies that help tailor promotions or limit repetitive advertising, where applicable.
You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. If you block certain cookies, parts of the site may not work correctly, and some security features may be limited.
Data Sharing
Heypokies Casino does not sell personal information as a standalone product. We share information only where it is needed to provide services, protect the platform, comply with applicable obligations, or support business operations.
- With payment and banking partners to process deposits and withdrawals and handle transaction checks.
- With identity verification and fraud-prevention providers to assess account risk and confirm eligibility.
- With technology service providers that host data, deliver content, provide analytics, or support customer service tooling.
- With professional advisers (such as legal, audit, and security consultants) where necessary to operate responsibly and address claims or disputes.
- With prospective buyers or corporate partners in connection with a business transfer, merger, acquisition, or restructuring, subject to appropriate confidentiality measures.
When we share information, we aim to limit it to what is relevant for the stated purpose and apply contractual or operational safeguards appropriate to the relationship.
Data Security
We take security seriously and use a combination of administrative, technical, and physical measures intended to protect personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration, or disclosure. No online service can guarantee absolute security, but we work to reduce risk and respond quickly to issues.
Examples of security measures
- Access controls designed to limit who can view or handle personal information.
- Encryption in transit and, where appropriate, encryption or other protections for stored data.
- Monitoring and logging to help detect suspicious activity and system vulnerabilities.
- Account protection measures such as password requirements and session management.
- Operational procedures for responding to suspected security incidents.
You also play an important role in protecting your account. Use a strong, unique password, avoid sharing login credentials, and contact support promptly if you suspect unauthorised access.
Data Retention
Heypokies Casino keeps personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purposes described in this policy. Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and why it is held.
- Account and transaction records may be retained to support payments, withdrawals, dispute handling, and financial reconciliation.
- Verification records may be retained to support account integrity, prevent repeat fraud, and demonstrate eligibility checks.
- Security logs may be retained to investigate incidents and maintain platform safety.
- Marketing preferences may be retained so we can respect your communication choices.
When information is no longer required, we take steps to delete it, anonymise it, or store it in a form that is appropriately restricted, unless longer retention is necessary for a legitimate operational need.
Your Rights
Depending on your location and circumstances, you may have rights relating to your personal information. Heypokies Casino supports privacy requests in line with applicable requirements and our ability to verify and respond securely.
- The right to request access to personal information we hold about you.
- The right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
- The right to request deletion, where retention is not required for essential operational reasons such as security, dispute management, or transaction processing.
- The right to object to, or request restriction of, certain processing in specific situations.
- The right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, such as some marketing communications.
- The right to request a copy of certain information in a commonly used format, where feasible.
To protect players, we may need to verify your identity before completing a request. We may also decline requests that would compromise another person’s privacy, undermine platform security, or conflict with legitimate operational requirements.
Third-Party Services
The Heypokies Casino website may integrate third-party services, including payment solutions, game providers, analytics tools, and customer support systems. These third parties may process information as part of delivering their services.
Where third-party links or embedded content are available, their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. We encourage you to review those policies before providing information through external services.
Game providers and platform features
Some games may be delivered through third-party technology. This can involve the exchange of technical identifiers, gameplay events, and device data to ensure the games function correctly, prevent abuse, and support fairness and reliability.
International Transfers
Heypokies Casino may store or process information in countries other than Australia depending on where our technology partners, hosting providers, and service teams operate. This can include transferring information to regions with different privacy frameworks.
When information is transferred internationally, we take steps designed to ensure it is handled securely and in line with this policy, such as using contractual protections and limiting transfers to trusted providers with appropriate security practices.
Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in how Heypokies Casino operates, improvements to security practices, or changes to the services we offer. Updates may also be made to clarify wording and improve transparency.
When changes are material, we may provide additional notice on the website or through account communications. Your continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy to the extent permitted by applicable requirements.
