Cookies and Similar Technologies
Uptown Pokies Casino uses cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage and pixels) to ensure the site works correctly, to secure sessions, and to understand how the site is used.
Types of cookies we may use

- Preference cookies that remember selections (for example, language or display settings) to improve usability.
- Analytics cookies that help us understand site performance and feature usage so we can improve the service.

You can adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies. If you disable certain cookies, parts of Uptown Pokies Casino may not function properly, including account login, gameplay stability, or payment features.
Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information when necessary to operate Uptown Pokies Casino, to protect users and the platform, and to comply with lawful requests.
Who we may share data with
- Payment processors and banking partners to facilitate deposits and withdrawals and to manage chargebacks and payment disputes.
- Identity verification and fraud-prevention providers to help confirm identity, assess risk, and prevent unauthorised activity.
- Game and platform service providers that support account functionality, gameplay delivery, and technical operations.

Data minimisation
When sharing information, we aim to limit disclosures to what is relevant for the specific purpose and to require appropriate confidentiality and security measures from recipients.
Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect information processed by Uptown Pokies Casino against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. Security measures are designed based on the nature of the information and the risks involved.
- Encryption and secure transmission methods for sensitive data where appropriate.
- Access controls to limit internal access to authorised personnel on a need-to-know basis.
- Monitoring and logging intended to detect suspicious activity and reduce fraud risk.
- Operational safeguards such as staff training and documented procedures for handling data.
No system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You also play an important role by using a strong password, keeping login details confidential, and notifying us if you suspect unauthorised access to your account.
Data Retention
Uptown Pokies Casino retains personal information for as long as needed to provide the services you request, to meet operational needs, and to address disputes, fraud prevention, and compliance obligations that may apply. Retention periods can vary depending on the type of information and the reason we hold it.
- Account information is typically retained while your account remains active and for a reasonable period afterwards.
- Transaction and verification records may be retained longer to support financial reconciliation, risk management, and dispute handling.
- Technical logs are usually retained for shorter periods unless they are needed for security investigations.
When information is no longer required, we take steps to delete it, de-identify it, or store it securely with restricted access, depending on the context and technical feasibility.
Your Rights
Depending on your location and the circumstances, you may have rights relating to your personal information. Uptown Pokies Casino supports privacy choices in a practical and security-conscious way.
- Access: request a copy of certain personal information we hold about you.
- Correction: ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Deletion: request deletion of certain information, where we are not required to keep it for legitimate operational, security, or compliance reasons.
- Objection or restriction: ask us to limit certain processing in appropriate situations.
- Marketing preferences: opt out of promotional communications where such options are provided.
To protect players, we may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests. If we cannot fulfil a request, we will aim to explain the reason, such as when retention is necessary for security, payment disputes, or compliance-related purposes.
Third-Party Services
Uptown Pokies Casino may link to or integrate with third-party services, including payment gateways, verification tools, analytics providers, and game content delivery systems. These third parties may process information under their own policies and terms.
If you follow a link to a third-party site or use a third-party feature, your interaction is governed by that provider’s privacy practices. We recommend reviewing their policies carefully, particularly where you submit payment details or identity documents through a third-party flow.
International Transfers
Some service providers supporting Uptown Pokies Casino may operate in different countries. As a result, your information may be processed or stored outside Australia. When we rely on overseas processing, we take steps intended to ensure that information continues to be handled with appropriate protections, such as contractual controls and security requirements suitable for the type of data involved.
International data flows can be complex, particularly for payment processing and fraud monitoring. Where possible, we aim to limit transfers to what is necessary to operate the service reliably and to manage security risks.
Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, security practices, or operational requirements. The updated version will apply from the time it is published on the Uptown Pokies Casino website.
If changes are significant, we may provide additional notice through the site or through account communications. Continuing to use the service after an update means you accept the revised policy to the extent permitted by applicable requirements.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or how Uptown Pokies Casino handles personal information, you can contact our support team at [email protected].
To help us respond efficiently, please include the email address associated with your account and a clear description of your request. For security reasons, we may ask for additional verification before providing account-specific information.
