How HellSpin Handles Your Data
A plain-English look at what we collect, why account and payment verification matters, and how you can access or delete your information.
Privacy at HellSpin
Last updated: August 27, 2026
This page explains, in practical terms, what personal data HellSpin collects from Australian players, how we verify accounts and payments, what cookies do on the site, and how you can see, correct or delete your information.
What We Collect and Why
When you open an account with HellSpin, we ask for the basics: full name, date of birth, email, mobile number and a residential address. We also record gameplay data such as bets placed, session length and bonus activity, because this is how we calculate wagering progress and detect problem patterns early. None of this is optional. Australian gambling regulation, overseen locally by ACMA, expects operators to know who is playing and to be able to prove age and identity on request.
- Identity details: name, date of birth, address, government ID for verification checks
- Contact details: email and mobile number for account access, security codes and support
- Financial details: payment method used, transaction amounts and timestamps in AUD
- Technical data: IP address, device type, browser and approximate location
- Gameplay data: pokie sessions, table game history, bonus wagering progress
Verifying Your Account and Payments
Before your first withdrawal, and sometimes before a first deposit, we run a know-your-customer check. This usually means a government-issued ID, and occasionally a recent utility bill or bank statement if the address on file doesn't match. If you deposit by PayID or POLi, the name on your bank account needs to match the name on your HellSpin profile. Card payments go through a similar match, and crypto deposits via Bitcoin, Ethereum or Tether are checked against wallet activity that looks unusual for the account. This isn't about slowing you down. It's the mechanism that lets us pay out quickly once you're verified, and it protects your balance from being accessed by anyone else.
- Government ID (driver licence, passport or proof of age card) for identity checks
- Selfie or short video match in some cases, to confirm the ID belongs to you
- Proof of payment method ownership for PayID, POLi, card or crypto wallet
- Proof of address if there is a mismatch with your registered details

How We Use and Share Your Data
Your data is used to run your account, process AUD deposits and withdrawals, apply bonus terms correctly, and respond when you contact support. It is shared only where necessary: with payment providers to move money via PayID, POLi, card networks or crypto rails, with identity verification services to confirm ID documents, and with fraud prevention tools that flag suspicious account activity across the industry. We don't sell player data to unrelated third parties.
Your Rights and How to Request Your Data
You can ask us at any time to see a copy of the personal data we hold, correct inaccurate details, or delete your account data once your legal and financial obligations with us are settled, such as any outstanding withdrawal checks. Requests go through live chat or the support email listed on your account page, and our team, working Australian hours, will confirm your identity before actioning the request. This confirmation step exists specifically so nobody else can request your data by pretending to be you.
- Request a copy of your stored data through support or live chat
- Ask us to correct outdated contact or identity details
- Request account closure and data deletion once withdrawals are settled
- Withdraw consent for optional cookies at any time through browser settings
Data Retention and Security
We keep account, verification and transaction records for as long as required to meet anti-fraud and record-keeping obligations, then remove or anonymise data that no longer needs to be linked to you. Data is encrypted in transit and access is limited to staff who need it to do their job, whether that's processing a payment or handling a support ticket. If you ever suspect your account has been accessed without permission, contact support immediately so we can lock it and investigate.
