  • Multi-factor authentication for user and admin access.
  • Intrusion detection & monitoring.
  • Vendor security audits.
  • Data breach response plan – aligned with POPIA S22 and GDPR Art. 33 (72-hour regulator notification).

Where appropriate, we employ encryption, pseudonymisation (for example, by using your customer ID rather than full name) and anonymisation solutions to reduce the impact of any security incident to Personal Information. Although, the nature of the internet means that transmission and storage of information may not be totally secure, we have deployed end to end encryption to protect your Personal Information in transit and static encryption to protect your Personal Information at rest.

In addition, we limit access to your Personal Information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your Personal Information on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

Managing security incidents relating to Personal Information:

We have procedures to deal with any suspected Personal Information breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

If you have any reason to believe that your Customer Account information may no longer be safe, please contact our customer support staff immediately.

Keeping your Customer Account safe:

When you create a Customer Account with us, we ask you to choose a password. We use password protection to ensure your Customer Account always remains safe and secure and can only be accessed by you.

You must choose a password that is strong and unique (not used elsewhere); you should frequently change your password. You must not share your username and password with anyone. If you suspect your password has been disclosed, change it immediately to ensure your Customer Account remains safe.

If you use a passkey (unique code or password) or biometric identification (such as fingerprint, face-scan or screen lock) to verify your identity on your device to access our products or services, this data is never shared with Betway. The passkey itself is stored on your local computer or mobile device, which will ask for your screen lock biometrics or PIN to confirm your identity. Biometric data is never shared with Betway or any of our third parties.

When you choose to make payments using Google Pay or Apple Pay, we do not receive or store any Personal Information or payment card details from these services. All sensitive information is handled directly by Google or Apple in accordance with their own privacy policies.

  1. Retention of your personal information

We retain your Personal Information for the period you remain an active customer with us. When you are no longer an active customer, we will continue to retain your Personal Information for as long as is necessary to comply our legal and regulatory obligations, such as those imposed under taxation, financial accounting, gambling, anti-money laundering or statute of limitation laws. For example:

  • Financial and KYC records – minimum 5 years (FICA obligation).
  • Transactional records – up to 7 years (tax and regulatory compliance).
  • Marketing and consent-based data – until withdrawal or inactivity.

Secure deletion and anonymization protocols apply at end of lifecycle.

Data deletion is not an absolute right and there may be times where we must retain your data, even after you’ve enacted your rights.
