Information from Third Parties
In some circumstances, we receive personal information from third-party sources as part of our legal and regulatory obligations. This includes identity verification results from KYC and AML service providers, fraud risk scores from payment processing partners, and information provided by regulatory authorities where required by law.
Why We Collect Your Personal Information
Under Principle 1 of the Privacy Act 2020, personal information must only be collected for a lawful purpose that is directly connected to the organisation’s functions. Below are the specific purposes for which Speedz Casino collects and uses your data:
Account Registration and Management
To create and maintain your player account, verify your identity, process deposits and withdrawals, and provide you with access to the games and services on the platform. This is necessary to fulfil the contractual relationship between you and Speedz Casino when you register.
Identity Verification and Age Confirmation
New Zealand law, including the Gambling Act 2003, prohibits gambling services from being provided to persons under the age of 18. We are required to verify that every account holder meets this threshold before real-money play is permitted. This verification process is also part of our obligations under the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009 (AML/CFT Act), which applies to gambling operators in New Zealand and requires us to confirm the identity of customers and keep records of those confirmations.
Legal and Regulatory Compliance
Our gaming licence OGL/2024/110/0173 carries obligations around record-keeping, responsible gambling monitoring, and reporting. We use your information to comply with these obligations and to respond to any requests from regulatory authorities under applicable New Zealand law. This includes retaining transaction records and account activity logs for the periods prescribed by legislation.
Anti-Money Laundering Obligations
Under the AML/CFT Act 2009, Speedz Casino is required to conduct customer due diligence, monitor transactions for unusual patterns, and report suspicious activity to the relevant authorities. Personal information, including identity documents and financial transaction history, is used as part of this process. We do not have discretion over these obligations; they are a condition of operating a licensed gambling service in New Zealand.
Responsible Gambling
We use account activity data to identify patterns that may indicate problem gambling behaviour, including unusually high frequency of play, large increases in deposit amounts, or attempts to reverse self-exclusion decisions. This monitoring is part of our responsible gambling programme and aligns with the expectations set out in the Gambling Act 2003 regarding the welfare of players.
Communications and Support
To respond to enquiries submitted via live chat, email, or phone, and to send you information about your account, including withdrawal confirmations, security alerts, and verification requests. We may also send you promotional communications about bonuses and offers where you have opted in to receive them. You can withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time through your account settings or by contacting support.
Platform Security and Fraud Prevention
To detect and prevent fraudulent account activity, unauthorised access, bonus abuse, and other activities that breach our Terms and Conditions or applicable law. Security monitoring is a legitimate interest that protects both individual players and the integrity of the platform as a whole.
Service Improvement
Aggregated, anonymised data derived from player activity may be used to understand how the platform is used, identify technical issues, and make improvements to the interface and game catalogue. This data is not used in a form that identifies individual players.
Legal Bases for Processing
Speedz Casino processes personal information on the following grounds:
- Contractual necessity: Processing required to open and operate your account and fulfil the services you have requested.
- Legal obligation: Processing required to comply with the Privacy Act 2020, the AML/CFT Act 2009, the Gambling Act 2003, and any other applicable New Zealand legislation.
- Legitimate interests: Processing necessary for fraud prevention, security monitoring, and responsible gambling oversight, where those interests are not outweighed by your privacy rights.
- Consent: Processing based on your explicit agreement, such as receiving promotional emails or push notifications. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.
How We Share Your Personal Information
Speedz Casino does not sell personal information to third parties. We share your data only where necessary and only with the categories of recipient listed below:
Payment Processors
To complete deposits and withdrawals, your payment information is processed by our payment partners. For card transactions, this involves Visa and Mastercard’s processing infrastructure. For Apple Pay and Google Pay transactions, data is handled in accordance with those providers’ own privacy frameworks. For cryptocurrency transactions involving Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDT, wallet address data is used to complete transfers on the relevant blockchain network. Each payment provider operates under its own privacy and security standards, and we select partners who meet established security benchmarks.
Identity Verification Providers
When you submit KYC documents, we share that information with our identity verification partners who confirm document authenticity and match your details against relevant databases. These providers are bound by confidentiality obligations and are only permitted to use your data for the specific verification purpose for which it was shared.
Regulatory Authorities
We are required by law to share certain information with regulatory authorities. This includes reporting obligations under the AML/CFT Act 2009 and any lawful requests from the New Zealand Police, the Department of Internal Affairs, or other competent authorities acting within their legal powers. We do not share information with authorities beyond what is legally required.
Responsible Gambling Organisations
Where a player is subject to a self-exclusion order or where we identify a serious responsible gambling concern, limited information may be shared with organisations supporting that player’s welfare, including BeGambleAware and Gambling Therapy. Any such sharing is carried out in the player’s interests and within the bounds permitted by applicable law.
IT and Infrastructure Providers
Like all online platforms, we use third-party services for hosting, database management, security monitoring, and customer support infrastructure. These providers access personal data only to the extent required to perform their technical functions and are contractually obligated to protect it.
Game Software Providers
Certain game providers, including Evolution, Play’n Go, PG Soft, Pragmatic Play, and others whose titles appear in our catalogue, may receive session-level technical data as part of game delivery. This is typically limited to what is required to load and run the game correctly and does not include your full account details.
International Data Transfers
Some of the third parties with whom we share data operate servers outside New Zealand. Where personal information is transferred internationally, we take reasonable steps to ensure that the receiving party provides a comparable level of protection to that required under the Privacy Act 2020. This may involve contractual arrangements, data processing agreements, or reliance on the recipient’s jurisdiction having equivalent privacy protections recognised by the New Zealand Privacy Commissioner.
How Long We Keep Your Information
Speedz Casino retains personal information for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy and to comply with legal obligations. In practice, this means:
- Account information and transaction records are retained for a minimum of five years following the closure or termination of an account, in accordance with AML/CFT Act 2009 record-keeping obligations.
- KYC documents and identity verification records are retained for the same minimum period of five years after the end of the business relationship.
- Support communications are retained for up to three years unless there is an active legal or regulatory matter that requires longer retention.
- Marketing consent records are kept for as long as necessary to demonstrate that consent was properly obtained and to honour any withdrawal of consent.
- Technical logs and session data used for security and fraud detection are typically retained for up to twelve months, after which they are deleted or anonymised.
When personal information is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised in a manner that prevents re-identification.

Your Rights Under the Privacy Act 2020
The Privacy Act 2020 gives New Zealand residents specific rights in relation to their personal information. Speedz Casino is committed to honouring these rights in practice, not just on paper.
Right of Access
You have the right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you. Under Principle 6 of the Privacy Act 2020, we must respond to your request within 20 working days. We may ask you to verify your identity before releasing the information, which is a standard step to prevent unauthorised access to your data.
Right of Correction
Under Principle 7 of the Privacy Act 2020, you have the right to request that inaccurate personal information held by us be corrected. If we disagree that a correction is warranted, we will note your request alongside the disputed information.
Right to Complain
If you believe we have interfered with your privacy, you have the right to make a complaint. You can do this by contacting us directly in the first instance. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may escalate the matter to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner at www.privacy.org.nz or by calling 0800 803 909. The Privacy Commissioner has authority to investigate complaints and take enforcement action where breaches of the Privacy Act 2020 are established.
Right to Withdraw Consent
Where we process your data based on consent, such as for marketing communications, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect any processing that took place before you withdrew consent. You can opt out of marketing emails using the unsubscribe link included in each message, or by contacting support directly.
Security of Your Personal Information
Speedz Casino takes the security of personal information seriously and maintains technical and organisational measures designed to protect it against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include:
- SSL encryption for all data transmitted between your browser or app and our servers
- Encrypted storage of passwords and sensitive account credentials
- Access controls that limit internal access to personal data on a need-to-know basis
- Regular security assessments of our systems and third-party providers
- Two-factor authentication options available within account security settings
- Monitoring systems designed to detect unusual account activity or unauthorised login attempts
No online system is completely immune to risk. If you have reason to believe your account has been compromised, contact our support team immediately via live chat or at support@speedz-casino-new-zealand.com.
In the event of a privacy breach that is likely to cause serious harm to affected individuals, we will notify the Privacy Commissioner and affected players as required under Part 6 of the Privacy Act 2020.
Responsible Gambling and Your Data
Speedz Casino uses personal information, including account activity, deposit frequency, session duration, and self-exclusion history, as part of its responsible gambling framework. This use is consistent with our obligations under the Gambling Act 2003 and reflects our commitment to player welfare.
If you set a deposit limit, cooling-off period, or self-exclusion through your account, those decisions are recorded and enforced using your personal data. Self-exclusion records are maintained even after account closure to prevent re-registration during the exclusion period. This retention is necessary for the protection of the player and is not subject to deletion requests during the active exclusion period.
If you are concerned about your gambling, you can access free and confidential support through:
- BeGambleAware
- Gambling Therapy
- The New Zealand Problem Gambling Helpline: 0800 654 655
Minors and Age Restrictions
Speedz Casino does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. Our platform is strictly for adults, and access by minors is prohibited under the Gambling Act 2003. If we discover that an account has been registered by a person under 18, the account will be closed immediately, any funds held will be handled in accordance with our Terms and Conditions and applicable law, and the personal information associated with the account will be deleted except where retention is required for legal or regulatory purposes.
If you believe a minor has accessed our platform using your details or someone else’s, please contact us immediately at support@speedz-casino-new-zealand.com.

This policy applies only to Speedz Casino and does not extend to any third-party site you visit from our platform. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any external site before providing personal information to it.

Where changes are material, we will notify registered account holders by email or through a notice within the platform.
