Legal Basis for Processing
We process your personal data only when we have a valid legal basis under the UK GDPR and other applicable laws. Depending on the situation, one or more of the following legal grounds may apply.
Performance of a Contract
- Account set-up and operation: we process your identity, contact, technical and gameplay data to register your account, enable you to log in, provide casino games, process deposits and withdrawals, and manage bonuses and promotions you participate in.
- Customer support: we use your contact and account data to respond to your questions, assist with payments, and handle service requests.
Compliance with Legal Obligations
- Gambling regulation: to comply with UKGC rules and other regulatory requirements, including licence conditions on KYC, anti-money laundering, counter-terrorist financing, player fund protection, responsible gambling, and reporting obligations.
- Financial and tax laws: to keep accounting records, satisfy audit requirements, and comply with tax and financial regulations in relevant jurisdictions.

- Special categories of data: in rare cases, if you provide health-related information in the context of responsible gambling (for example, disclosing a medical condition), we will handle it with your explicit consent or as otherwise permitted by law.
For users in Mexico, we also take into account the principles of the Federal Law on the Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties (LFPDPPP). In such cases, our processing is justified by the need to perform the relationship with you, comply with applicable legal obligations, and obtain your consent where required.
Purpose of Processing
We use your personal data for specific, explicit, and legitimate purposes. We do not process your data in ways that are incompatible with these purposes.
Provision of Casino Services

Regulatory, Compliance and Risk Management
- KYC and AML controls: verifying your identity, assessing risk, and meeting legal obligations in Great Britain and other operating jurisdictions.
- Responsible gambling: monitoring play patterns, applying financial and time limits, implementing self-exclusion and cooling-off measures, and contacting you where our monitoring suggests potential gambling-related harm.

Service Improvement, Analytics and Personalisation
- Website performance and optimisation: analysing usage data to improve site navigation, loading times, and overall user experience on casamerio.com.
- Game optimisation: understanding which games and features are most popular to refine our offerings and develop new services.
- Personalised content: tailoring certain content, such as recommended games or promotions, to your profile and behaviour, subject to your marketing and cookie preferences.
Marketing and Communications
- Direct marketing: sending you information about offers, promotions, tournaments, and new features of amerio-united-kingdom, subject to your consent or lawful interests under PECR.
- Service messages: sending important non-marketing communications, such as changes to terms, privacy updates, security alerts, and account notifications (these are not based on consent).
Disputes and Legal Claims
- Complaint handling: using relevant data to investigate and respond to complaints raised directly with us.
- ADR and litigation: sharing necessary information with IBAS or other ADR bodies, regulators, and legal counsel to resolve disputes and protect our rights.
Disclosure & Sharing
We do not sell your personal data. We share data only with trusted parties where necessary for the purposes described above, subject to appropriate safeguards and contractual protections.
Group Companies and Operators
- Corporate group: your data may be shared between Apex Gaming UK Ltd. and Apex Entertainment N.V., and other related entities, for operational, regulatory, and risk management purposes, including consolidated reporting.
Service Providers and Business Partners
- Payment providers and banks: to process deposits, withdrawals and refunds, and to carry out fraud checks and chargeback handling.
- Technical and hosting providers: suppliers that provide data hosting, IT maintenance, security monitoring, and platform services.
- Game providers: third-party casino game studios and software providers that require certain account and gameplay data to deliver games and ensure fairness and compliance.
- Analytics and user experience providers: partners that help us measure traffic, detect performance issues, and improve site usability.
- Marketing and advertising partners: subject to your consent, we may share limited data with email delivery services, CRM platforms, and advertising networks for campaigns related to casamerio.com and amerio-united-kingdom.

- Regulators: the UK Gambling Commission, Curaçao eGaming, tax authorities, and other regulators may receive data to allow us to demonstrate compliance with licensing, AML/CTF, and responsible gambling obligations.
- Law enforcement and public bodies: where required by law, court order or lawful request, we may disclose data to police, courts, and other public authorities.
- Alternative dispute resolution: if a dispute is referred to IBAS or another ADR provider, we share relevant account, transaction, and communication data to facilitate the dispute process. IBAS may be contacted via its consumer claim form at https://ibas-uk.com/consumers/claim-form/.
Corporate Transactions
- Business transfers: in the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganisation or sale of assets involving our business or the amerio-united-kingdom brand, your data may be transferred to the new owner, subject to continued protection in line with this Policy and applicable law.
Whenever we share your personal data with third parties, we require them to use it only for the purposes and in the ways we specify, and to protect it with appropriate security measures.
International Transfers
Because we operate online casino services under licences in Great Britain and Curaçao, and use global service providers, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the United Kingdom, including countries that may have different data protection standards.
Where Your Data May Be Transferred
- Curaçao: operational, compliance and back-office activities carried out by Apex Entertainment N.V. and certain service providers may involve transfers to Curaçao.
- European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland: some of our technical, payment, or analytics providers are located in, or process data from, EEA countries or Switzerland.
- Other countries: subject to legal and regulatory restrictions, certain providers (for example, cloud or security vendors) may process data in other jurisdictions, which will be disclosed in our detailed service provider list if and when available.
Protection Measures for Cross-Border Transfers
- Adequacy decisions: where the UK government recognises a country as providing an adequate level of data protection, we may rely on that decision for transfers.
- Standard contractual clauses and IDTA: for other countries, we typically use appropriate contractual safeguards such as the UK International Data Transfer Addendum (IDTA) and/or the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), adapted as necessary for UK law.
- Additional safeguards: we may apply supplementary technical and organisational measures (such as encryption and access controls) to ensure an essentially equivalent level of protection.
We do not rely on the former EU-US Privacy Shield framework, which has been invalidated. If you would like more information about the specific safeguards applied to a particular transfer of your data, you may contact us at [email protected].
Data Retention
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy legal, accounting, regulatory or reporting requirements. Retention periods can vary depending on the type of data and applicable law, particularly in the context of gambling and anti-money laundering regulation.
Typical Retention Periods
- Account and identification data: generally retained for the duration of your account and for up to 5 years after account closure, to comply with gambling and AML obligations and to manage potential disputes.
- Transaction and payment records: usually kept for up to 7 years from the date of the relevant transaction, to comply with financial and tax regulations.
- KYC and AML records: retained for at least 5 years after the end of the business relationship or the date of the last transaction, in line with applicable AML/CTF laws.
- Responsible gambling and behavioural data: kept for as long as necessary to manage your responsible gambling tools and thereafter for up to 5 years after account closure, subject to any longer legal requirements.
- Marketing data: retained until you withdraw your consent or object to marketing, after which we will keep a minimal record of your preference (for example, in a suppression list) to ensure we do not contact you again inappropriately.
- Technical logs and security data: stored for shorter periods, typically from a few months up to 2 years, unless needed longer for security investigations or legal proceedings.
We may retain anonymised or aggregated data that no longer identifies you for analytical and statistical purposes, indefinitely. When data is no longer required in identifiable form, we will securely delete or anonymise it in accordance with our data retention policy and applicable legislation.
Your Rights
Under the UK GDPR and related laws, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal data. For users located in Mexico, we also seek to respect the core ARCO rights (Access, Rectification, Cancellation, Opposition) established under Mexican data protection law, to the extent applicable.
Your Data Protection Rights
- Right of access: you can request confirmation that we process your personal data and obtain a copy of that data, together with information about how and why we process it.
- Right to rectification: you can ask us to correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you. In many cases you can update basic details directly in your account settings.
- Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten" or "cancellation"): you can request deletion of your personal data where there is no compelling reason for us to keep it, for example where it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected and we have no legal obligation to retain it.
- Right to restriction of processing: you can ask us to restrict processing of your data in certain circumstances, for example while we verify its accuracy or where you have objected to our use of it.
- Right to object: you can object to processing based on our legitimate interests or for direct marketing. If you object to marketing, we will stop sending you marketing communications.
- Right to data portability: you can request to receive certain personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and to have that data transmitted to another controller where technically feasible.
- Rights related to automated decision-making: you can request human review of certain decisions based solely on automated processing that significantly affect you, such as risk assessment decisions, where such rights are provided by law.
- Right to withdraw consent: where we rely on your consent (for example, for marketing or certain cookies), you may withdraw it at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
For users in Mexico, the rights of Access, Rectification, Cancellation and Opposition (ARCO) can be exercised through the same contact channels described below. We will consider such requests in line with both UK and, where applicable, Mexican legal requirements.
How to Exercise Your Rights
- Submitting a request: you can exercise your rights by contacting us at [email protected] or by using any dedicated privacy or contact form made available on casamerio.com.
- Information we may request: to protect your account and data, we may ask you to provide additional information to verify your identity before complying with your request (for example, confirming account details or providing identification documents).
- Timeframe: we aim to respond to valid requests within one month (30 days) of receipt. In complex cases or where we receive multiple requests, we may extend this period by up to a further two months, in which case we will inform you of the extension and reasons.
- Fees: requests are normally handled free of charge. We may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act on requests that are manifestly unfounded, excessive, or repetitive, as permitted by law.
Some rights are subject to legal restrictions or may be limited by gambling, AML or regulatory obligations. For example, we may not be able to delete certain transaction or identity data while we are required by law to retain it. Where we cannot fully comply with your request, we will explain why.
