We automatically collect information about how you access our platform to improve our services and site security. This includes:
- IP address, device type, and browser settings.
- Log-in times and session durations.
- Data collected via cookies regarding your preferences on our site.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the data we collect to provide, maintain, and protect our services. Your data is never sold to third parties for marketing purposes without your explicit consent.
- Service Provision: To create and manage your player account, facilitate bets on your favorite pokies, and process your deposits and withdrawals in NZD.
- Legal Compliance: To verify your identity and age, ensuring we are compliant with the regulations set forth by the Department of Internal Affairs and the Gambling Commission NZ.

3. Data Protection and Security
We treat the security of your data as a priority. We implement industry-standard encryption technologies (SSL) to ensure that any information transmitted between your device and our servers remains private.
Your Data Rights
Under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020, you have rights regarding your personal information:
- Right of Access: You may request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
- Right of Correction: If you believe any information we hold is incorrect, you have the right to request that we update it.
- Right of Deletion: You may request that we delete your account and associated personal data, subject to our legal obligations to retain records for tax and anti-money laundering purposes.
To exercise these rights, please contact our support team at [email protected]. We are always keen to ensure your records are accurate.
4. Responsible Gambling and Data Privacy
At Imperial Wins Casino, we recognize that while playing pokies can be a great way to unwind, it is vital to keep it fun and safe. We take responsible gambling seriously. If we identify that a punter may be struggling, we may use the information we hold to reach out with support options.
We strongly encourage anyone who feels their gambling is becoming a problem to contact the Problem Gambling Foundation at 0800 664 262. Your interactions with support services are treated with the strictest confidentiality.
5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies to enhance your user experience. Cookies help us remember your preferences, such as your language settings or your favorite pokies, and allow us to analyze traffic on our site.
Most browsers allow you to decline cookies; however, please note that doing so may impact your ability to use certain features on our site, such as maintaining a stable session for your NZD transactions.
6. Retention of Data
We retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. Specifically:
- Account information is kept for the duration of your membership.
- Transactional records are kept for a minimum period as required by financial regulations and local New Zealand laws to prevent fraud and money laundering.
- Once data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymized.
7. International Transfers
While Imperial Wins Casino operates globally, we understand the importance of keeping New Zealand players' data secure. If we ever need to transfer your data to service providers located outside of New Zealand, we ensure that those providers adhere to data protection standards that are at least as stringent as those required under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020. We will only share the minimum amount of information necessary to complete your transactions (e.g, verifying a deposit via a payment gateway).
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal obligations. We will notify you of any significant changes via email or by posting a notice on our website. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.

If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback regarding this Privacy Policy or how we handle your personal data, please reach out to our dedicated support team. We appreciate the feedback from our community — it helps us keep our services "sweet as" for everyone.
Email: [email protected].
If you are unsatisfied with how we have handled your privacy concerns, you have the right to contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner in New Zealand.
Detailed Overview of Data Processing Principles
To provide further clarity on our commitment to your privacy, we follow these core principles:
Transparency
We believe in being upfront about what we do. When you sign up, you provide us with your data, and in return, we provide a secure, fast-paced, and fair gaming environment. We don't hide behind complex jargon; we want you to understand exactly how your data powers your experience.
Data Minimization
We only collect the information we absolutely need. For instance, we don't need to know about your personal habits outside of our casino, but we do need to verify your identity to ensure that you are of legal age and that your winnings are paid out to the correct individual.
Security Measures
We utilize advanced firewalls and encrypted databases. Every transaction, whether you are depositing via POLi or withdrawing your winnings via bank transfer, is encrypted. We treat your financial details with the same level of security that a major bank would.
Consent
By continuing to use our services, you consent to our processing of your data as described here. If you are not keen on these terms, you are free to stop using our services and request the deletion of your account.
Why We Require Specific Data
1. Identity Verification (KYC)
The Department of Internal Affairs requires us to verify the identity of our players. This is a standard procedure across all reputable gaming sites in New Zealand. By providing us with a photo ID, you help us prevent identity theft and ensure that only authorized users can access your account.
2. Payment Processing
When you use payment methods like POLi, Neosurf, or crypto, we must exchange specific information with our payment processors to authorize the transfer of funds. We limit this information to only what is required to process the transaction successfully.
3. Fraud Prevention
We analyze patterns of activity to detect fraudulent behavior. If we notice an account being accessed from an unusual location or multiple failed login attempts, we may trigger a security check. This protects your funds and your account integrity.
Your Role in Data Security
While we take every precaution to secure our servers, you also play a crucial role in maintaining your own security:
- Password Hygiene: Use a strong, unique password for your Imperial Wins account. Do not share your login credentials with anyone.
- Device Security: Ensure that your computer or mobile device is protected by updated security software.
- Phishing Awareness: We will never ask for your password via email. If you receive a suspicious email claiming to be from us, please forward it to our support team immediately.
- Responsible Play: Keep track of your betting activity. If you find yourself spending more time or money than intended, use our self-exclusion tools or contact the Problem Gambling Foundation.
Commitment to Fairness and Trust
We know that for the New Zealand punter, the reputation of a casino is built on the speed of payouts and the fairness of the pokies. Behind the scenes, the privacy of your data is the foundation of that trust. We are committed to maintaining a transparent relationship with our players.
"Chur" to all our loyal players for trusting us with your gaming experience. We remain committed to protecting your privacy while providing you with the top-tier casino experience you expect and deserve.
Final Compliance Note
This policy is designed to align with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020. We regularly review our internal processes to ensure that we are not just meeting the minimum requirements, but are actively pursuing best practices in data privacy and digital protection. Our internal privacy audit team works tirelessly to update our safeguards, ensuring that we are always ready to meet the challenges of an evolving digital landscape.
Should any government regulations regarding online gambling or data protection in New Zealand change, we will act promptly to ensure our practices remain in full alignment with the law. We are here to ensure that your time spent at Imperial Wins Casino is secure, fun, and entirely private.
