Our Commitment to Your Privacy
Ignition Casino takes the privacy of its players seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect from players based in Australia, why we collect it, how it is used, and what rights you have over your own data.

This policy has been prepared in consideration of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) contained in Schedule 1 of that Act. Where relevant, it also reflects obligations arising under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (Cth) and related rules issued by AUSTRAC.

4. Identity Verification and KYC Requirements
Australian regulations require us to verify the identity of players before processing withdrawals and in certain other circumstances. This process, commonly referred to as Know Your Customer (KYC), may require you to provide one or more of the following:
- A government-issued photo ID (e.g. Australian passport or driver’s licence)
- Proof of address (e.g. a recent utility bill or bank statement dated within the last 90 days)
- Proof of the payment method used (e.g. a screenshot of a cryptocurrency wallet)
- Source of funds documentation, in cases where our compliance obligations require it
Documents submitted for KYC purposes are handled with strict confidentiality and stored securely. They are used only for identity verification and compliance purposes and are not shared with third parties except as required by law or described in this policy.
