How the POPI Act Protects You When Playing Casino Games at Springbok Casino

One of our key focusses at Springbok Casino is ensuring that our players get to enjoy our casino games in a safe and secure environment.  How we go about protecting our playing is really an intricate process that involves high-tech security software and our adherence to a set of stringent policies and procedures.

Our Privacy Policy 

As per our privacy policy, we’re committed to respecting and protecting the privacy of each and every member.  Of course, in order to offer you a flawless service, there are a few details that we need to collect to maintain your account.

If you want to play casino games for real money, we need to gather basic info such as your name, email address, postal address and – in order to process payments – some financial particulars.  This is mostly the details for the credit card that you would like for us to use to process payments.

If you head over to the Springbok Casino homepage, you can view our complete privacy policy that outlines exactly what type of data we collect and store in order to maintain your account.

How does the POPI Act Protect Your Information? 

The Protection of Personal Information Act (or POPI Act) is basically the same as the General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR), which is also a data protection and privacy law in the European Union.  To move with the times and mitigate associated modern-day risks, the need for these types of laws became more evident.  South Africa officially enforced the POPI Act as of 1 July 2020, whereas the EU implemented the law on 25 May 2018.

Although companies don’t necessarily require your permission to collect certain data, it is how that data is managed that is governed by the POPI Act.  It is also up to the companies to ensure that they comply with the POPI regulations.  This includes ensuring that whatever data is collected is stored securely and that it is protected against potential data breaches.

Springbok Casino Keeps Your Info Safe

In addition to abiding by the legal guidelines and protecting whatever information we collect from our players, we will furthermore never sell, trade or rent your info to outside parties.  In the event that we do aggregate information for statistical purposes, this will never include any identifiable information.

When it comes to winnings landed by playing our casino games, you’re furthermore guaranteed that your cash-outs will remain strictly confidential.  All information pertaining to winnings is stored securely in virtual vaults and we will never willingly disclose details surrounding payouts unless it is required by law.

What Security Systems Protect You When Playing Casino Games?

When it comes down to the nuts and bolts of how we protect our members while playing casino games – we utilize high-end industry-standard digital encryption technology that is incorporated into our software.  Digital encryption technology is software that essentially makes it pretty much impossible for hackers to access information as it passes between the player and casino.

In the unlikely event that a security breach happens, the information will be heavily encrypted and thus rendered useless.  Think of it as a scrambling device that distorts the information while it is passing over the internet – only to become unscrambled once it reached its intended destination.

2. Store your login details in a reputable password protector, or make a note of it in an encrypted file.
3. Don’t play on public computers – if you do, ensure that you log out after every session.
4. Beware of phishing emails and learn how to identify them, e.g. will never ask you for your password.
