Privacy Policy
Last Updated: October 2026 | Effective Date: January 1, 2026
At Bovada (“we,” “our,” or “us”), protecting the confidentiality, security, and integrity of your personal information is paramount. This Privacy Policy outlines our procedures concerning the collection, storage, utilization, and disclosure of personal data gathered when accessing our portal, sportsbook, casino, and related services.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information to provide high-performance gaming, verify identity, and adhere strictly to anti-fraud and anti-money laundering (AML) mandates:
- Identification & Contact Data: Legal full name, date of birth, residential address, telephone number, and verifiable email address supplied during registration.
- Transactional & Payment Data: Ledger data including deposit histories, wallet addresses (such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether, or Litecoin public hashes), payment method validation records, and withdrawal manifests.
- Technical & Usage Metrics: Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, device hardware identifiers, browser versions, operating system architecture, localized time zone attributes, and in-app browsing trajectories.
- Identity Verification Records: Government-issued identification credentials, utility invoices, and source-of-funds confirmations requested under standard Know Your Customer (KYC) compliance routines.
2. How We Use Your Information
We process collected data in accordance with legitimate operational needs and applicable regulations, specifically to:
- Administer user accounts, process real-money wagers, and disburse payouts promptly.
- Mitigate security threats, prevent unauthorized duplicate registrations, and counteract syndicated fraud.
- Ensure compliance with international age-gating requirements (minimum 18 years or age of majority).
- Tailor gaming incentives, deposit match vouchers, and Bovada Rewards point conversions to individual preferences.
- Facilitate customer service requests submitted through 24/7 Live Chat or email support channels.
3. Cryptographic Storage & Security Measures
Bovada deploys bank-grade 256-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL/TLS) encryption across all endpoints. Sensitive credentials and password hashes are preserved utilizing salted one-way hashing algorithms (SHA-256). Cold-storage partitioning is enforced for cryptocurrency reserves and treasury balances, separating player deposit holdings from ongoing operational liabilities.
4. Sharing and Disclosure of Data
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to non-affiliated marketing entities. Data disclosures are restricted solely to:
- Regulated transaction processors and blockchain network validators executing user-directed deposits and disbursements.
- Independent software test agencies (e.g., iTech Labs) auditing game randomness and payout metrics under strict confidentiality agreements.
- Recognized law enforcement, judicial, or regulatory bodies when mandated by valid legal subpoenas or anti-money laundering obligations.
5. Data Retention & Erasure Rights
Player profiles and transactional ledgers are retained for the duration of the account lifespan and for the statutory period required under global financial record-keeping standards (typically five to seven years post-closure). Subject to local privacy legislation, users may request review, modification, or restricted processing of their personal data by contacting our compliance division.
6. Updates to This Policy
We reserve the right to revise this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect technological advances, emerging legal standards, or operational developments. Revisions will be published on this page alongside an updated effective date.
