Last Updated: May 1, 2026.
Welcome to Ludios Casino (ludioscasino.co). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website and use our services. We value the trust you place in us when you deposit your loonies and toonies, and we are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of data integrity and transparency.
By accessing or using Ludios Casino, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not access the site.
1. Introduction and Legal Framework
Ludios Casino operates within the complex regulatory landscape of Canada. We recognize that data protection is governed by both federal and provincial legislation. Our practices are designed to comply with:
- PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act): The federal privacy law for private-sector organizations in Canada.
- Provincial Laws: Including British Columbia’s PIPA, Alberta’s PIPA, and Quebec’s Law 25 (formerly Bill 64).
- Ontario Regulations: For players located in Ontario, we adhere to the standards set by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) and iGaming Ontario.
- GDPR Standards: While we focus on the Canadian market, we adopt many principles of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to ensure a "gold standard" of privacy for all users.
2. Information We Collect
To provide a premium gaming experience — from the first "puck" drop to your final withdrawal — we collect several types of information.
A. Personal Identification Information
When you register for an account, we collect:
- Full Name and Date of Birth (to verify you are of legal gambling age in your province).
- Residential Address (to confirm Canadian residency).
- Email Address and Phone Number.
- Government-issued ID (Passport, Driver’s License) for KYC (Know Your Customer) purposes.
B. Financial Information
To facilitate deposits and withdrawals via Interac e-Transfer, iDebit, InstaDebit, and credit cards, we collect:
- Partial payment card numbers and expiry dates.
- Transaction history in CAD (CA$).
- Wallet addresses for cryptocurrency transactions.
- Source of wealth documentation (where required by AML laws).
C. Technical and Usage Data
- IP Address and Geolocation Data (to ensure you are playing from an authorized Canadian jurisdiction).
- Device information (browser type, operating system).
- Gameplay history, including bets placed, wins, and bonus wagering progress.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- Account Management: Creating and maintaining your Ludios Casino account.
- Verification: Performing KYC and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks to prevent fraud.
- Processing Transactions: Ensuring your Interac e-Transfers and other payments are processed securely and swiftly.
- Customer Support: Responding to inquiries sent to [email protected].
- Personalization: Tailoring match bonuses (100-200%) and free spin offers to your play style (subject to Ontario marketing restrictions).
- Regulatory Compliance: Meeting our obligations to provincial regulators and reporting suspicious activities.
- Responsible Gambling: Monitoring play patterns to identify potential signs of problem gambling.
4. Disclosure of Your Information
We do not sell your personal data. However, we may share information with third parties in the following circumstances:
A. Service Providers
We share data with trusted vendors who perform services for us, including payment processors (like Interac), identity verification services, and cloud hosting providers.
B. Regulatory and Legal Bodies
We may disclose your information to the AGCO, BCLC, or other provincial authorities if required by law or to protect our legal rights.
C. Marketing and Analytics
With your consent, we may share non-sensitive data with analytics providers to improve our bilingual (EN/FR) interface and promotional strategies. Players in Ontario will notice a more restricted approach to bonus marketing in compliance with local standards.
5. Canadian Data Residency and Storage
While we strive to keep data within Canadian borders where feasible, some of your information may be processed or stored on servers located outside of Canada. In such cases, your personal information may be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions, which may be different from Canadian law. We use Standard Contractual Clauses and robust encryption to ensure your data remains protected regardless of its location.
6. Payment Security
Ludios Casino prioritizes the security of your financial data.
- Interac e-Transfer: This remains our most trusted and recommended method for Canadian players. We do not see your banking login credentials; the transaction is handled through secure banking gateways.
- Encryption: All financial data is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and stored in encrypted environments.
- PCI-DSS: We comply with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards for all Visa and Mastercard transactions.
7. Responsible Gambling and Data Monitoring
Your safety is our priority. We use data analysis to monitor for "puck" drops that suggest risky behavior. If our systems detect signs of distress, we may use your contact information to provide resources.
In accordance with Canadian standards, we provide links and contact details for support:
- ConnexOntario: 1-866-531-2600.
- Problem Gambling Helpline: 1-888-230-3506.
You have the right to request self-exclusion, and we will retain a record of this request to ensure you are blocked from our marketing and gaming services across all related platforms.
8. Your Privacy Rights
Under Canadian law (PIPEDA and provincial equivalents), you have specific rights regarding your data:
A. Right of Access
You have the right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you. This includes your transaction history in loonies and your bonus wagering logs.
B. Right of Rectification
If any information we hold is inaccurate or incomplete (e.g, a change of address or a new phone number), you have the right to have it corrected.
C. Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten")
You may request that we delete your personal data. Please note that we are legally required to retain certain data (such as financial records and KYC documents) for a minimum period (usually 5–7 years) to comply with AML and tax laws.
D. Right to Withdraw Consent
You can opt-out of marketing communications at any time. This includes emails regarding match bonuses, free spins, or loyalty "fiver" rewards.
E. Right to Portability
You may request that we transfer your data to another service provider in a structured, commonly used format.
To exercise any of these rights, contact our Data Protection Officer at [email protected].
9. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Ludios Casino uses cookies to enhance your experience. These include:
- Essential Cookies: Necessary for the site to function and to keep you logged in.
- Performance Cookies: To understand how you navigate our site and where we can improve.
- Functional Cookies: To remember your preferences, such as your language choice (English or French).
You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings, though disabling certain cookies may impact your ability to use the full features of the casino.
10. Bonus Policy and Data Usage
Our "Bonus Culture" is a core part of the Ludios experience. We use your gameplay data to calculate:
- Wagering requirements (typically 30x–40x).
- Eligibility for 100-200% match bonuses.
- Distribution of free spins.
Special Note for Ontario Players: In accordance with iGaming Ontario regulations, promotional offers and bonus information are only displayed on our site once you have expressed interest or opted-in. We do not use your data for aggressive "public" bonus advertising in the Ontario jurisdiction.
11. Protection of Minors
Ludios Casino has a zero-tolerance policy regarding underage gambling. We do not knowingly collect data from individuals under the age of 19 (or 18, depending on the province). Our KYC process is designed to filter out minors, and any account found to be operated by a minor will be closed immediately, with all data purged except for what is necessary to prevent future registration.
12. Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Fraud Prevention
As a Canadian-facing entity, we comply with FINTRAC guidelines. We monitor transactions for suspicious patterns. Your data may be used to:
- Identify multiple accounts created by the same person.
- Verify the legitimacy of large "puck" bets.
- Flag unusual withdrawal patterns to unverified Interac accounts.
13. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in Canadian law or our internal processes. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your loonies and your identity.
