Privacy Policy
1. Overview
Next2Go runs under Australian gaming rules that say personal data from players must be collected and processed. This policy covers what gets collected, the reasons behind it, and how it gets used.
When you make an account, you’re accepting these privacy terms. Don’t use the platform if you disagree with any part of this policy.
This policy is an agreement between you and Next2Go. Updates happen occasionally and come into effect once published. It’s worth checking back now and then because continuing to use the site after changes means you’re okay with them.
2. Information We Collect
Next2Go picks up various personal information to run gaming services and stay within legal bounds:
- Your Registration Info: What you put in when signing up – name, birth date, email, phone, and address.
- Messages: Anything sent through the platform, email, live chat, or other ways you contact us.
- Account Stuff: Records of your deposits, withdrawals, bets, gaming sessions, and other account transactions.
- Tech Details: Login info, IP addresses, location data, device details, browser type, and logs of your site activity.
ID Documents: Verification materials – passport copies, utility bills, bank statements, payment proof – needed for account approval and security.
Your Input: Survey answers and other feedback you share for service improvements.
3. How We Use Your Information
Here’s what Next2Go does with your information to provide services and follow the law:
- Running Your Account: Setting it up, keeping it going, and doing the customer ID stuff that Australian gaming laws require.
- Gaming Operations: Handling your bets, processing gaming transactions, and giving you access to sports betting and casino games.
- Payments: Taking care of deposits, withdrawals, and payments through banks, credit cards, and digital wallets.
- Customer Help: Sorting out account issues, tech problems, betting questions, and general queries through chat, email, and phone.
- ID Verification: Checking who you are, confirming your age, and blocking unauthorised access – all part of responsible gambling rules.
- Marketing Stuff: Sending promotions, betting tips, odds updates, and platform news to people who want to receive them.
- Legal Requirements: Meeting anti-money laundering, counter-terrorism funding, and responsible gambling rules under Australian law.
- Security Work: Spotting and stopping fraud, account misuse, match-fixing problems, and other dodgy betting or gaming activity.
- Data Analysis: Using combined data to make betting markets better, improve odds setting, and boost overall service.
4. Marketing Communications
Players who choose to receive marketing can get promotional emails, SMS, or push notifications about Next2Go services, betting promotions, better odds offers, and partner content. This covers new betting markets, casino games, and exclusive bonuses from sports betting and gaming partners.
You can stop marketing messages anytime through your account settings or by contacting support at support@next2go.com.au.
Winners of promotions and top players agree to let Next2Go use their username or initials for marketing without extra payment, where legally allowed.
5. Data Sources
Next2Go gets personal information from what you enter directly and from your activity on the platform. Information also comes from legitimate third parties like sports data companies, odds services, fraud prevention firms, and payment partners.
Technical providers and sports betting platform suppliers help run betting operations and casino games. These arrangements might involve access to your information, but strict confidentiality agreements and data protection rules apply that meet Australian Privacy Principles.
All third-party data sharing follows this privacy policy, with contracts ensuring proper protection of your information and adherence to responsible gambling standards.
6. Internal Access and Sharing
Your personal information might get shared among Next2Go group companies, subsidiaries, and authorised business partners when needed for services, legal compliance, and responsible gambling monitoring.
Certain Next2Go staff have access to player data: compliance officers, responsible gambling coordinators, payment processing team, customer service reps, VIP account managers, sports trading analysts, and senior management – but only when their job requires it.
Everyone with data access has signed confidentiality agreements and gets regular training on data protection rules under gaming laws, privacy legislation, and responsible gambling standards.
7. Third-Party Disclosure
Next2Go doesn’t sell or rent your personal information to outside parties to make money.
Data gets disclosed to third parties only in these situations:
- Legal Demands: When courts, regulators, or laws under Australian federal and state legislation require it.
- Regulatory Reports: To meet licensing conditions and reporting requirements, state gaming regulators, and other relevant bodies.
- Safety Issues: When disclosure seems necessary to protect Next2Go, players, or others from harm, fraud, match-fixing concerns, or illegal betting activity.
- Service Providers: To sports data providers, odds compilation services, payment processors, marketing partners, and operational support companies under strict data protection agreements.
- Responsible Gambling: To self-exclusion databases, problem gambling support services, and relevant counselling organisations as required for player welfare.
- Business Changes: During corporate restructuring, mergers, acquisitions, or asset transfers, with prior notification to affected players where legally allowed.
- Social Media Features: Platform features might include social sharing options for betting wins or achievements, provided by third-party platforms like Facebook and Twitter, with data processing governed by those platform’s privacy policies.
External website links might be present for reference, including links to sports news sites and betting information resources, but Next2Go isn’t responsible for the privacy practices of linked sites.
8. Data Retention
Either you or Next2Go can close an account anytime. After closure, personal information stays on file for the time required by Australian law and international rules.
Kept data serves legal purposes, including possible requests from authorities about financial records, suspicious betting investigations, money laundering checks, or other matters related to sports betting and gaming.
Australian anti-money laundering rules and gaming laws require keeping player registration data, transaction records, and betting history for at least five years after the last account activity or closure.
Records of responsible gambling interactions, including self-exclusion requests and spending limits, are kept according to harm prevention requirements under state and territory laws.
Anonymous betting and gaming data might be kept indefinitely for market analysis and service improvements where no automated decisions are involved.
9. Security Measures
Next2Go knows it has legal duties about personal data protection and uses comprehensive security measures to keep your information safe according to Australian Privacy Principles and international data protection standards.
Getting into your account needs unique login credentials, with two-factor authentication (2FA) available as extra security for better protection. You’re responsible for keeping your login information private and stopping unauthorised access to your betting and gaming accounts.
Technical security includes advanced encryption protocols, secure data transmission systems, restricted access controls, regular penetration testing, and continuous security monitoring to maintain data integrity and prevent unauthorised disclosure or cyber threats.
