Last Updated: May 12, 2026.
Welcome to AstroMania Casino (astromaniacasino.one). We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of our punters. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, process, and disclose your personal information when you have a crack at our range of pokies, table games, and sports betting markets.
Operating within the Australian market, we adhere to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). While we provide a cosmic gaming experience, we stay grounded in our legal obligations to ensure your data is handled with the highest level of integrity.
1. Introduction and Scope
This Privacy Policy applies to all users (referred to as "punters," "you," or "your") who access our platform via desktop or mobile. By creating an account or using our services, you consent to the data practices described in this policy.
AstroMania Casino is dedicated to providing a ripper experience, but that requires the collection of certain personal details to verify your identity, process your PayID or POLi deposits, and ensure we are meeting our regulatory requirements under the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) guidelines and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) laws.
2. Information We Collect
To provide a seamless experience when you’re ready for an arvo session on the pokies, we collect several types of information.
2.1 Personal Identification Information
- Registration Data: Full name, date of birth, gender, and residential address.
- Contact Details: Email address ([email protected]) and mobile phone number.
- Identity Verification: Copies of your driver’s license, passport, or utility bills to satisfy "Know Your Customer" (KYC) requirements.
2.2 Financial Information
To facilitate punting with AUD, we collect:
- Payment Details: Partial credit/debit card numbers (Visa/Mastercard), PayID identifiers, and transaction history.
- Source of Funds: In certain circumstances, we may request documentation regarding your source of wealth to comply with Australian AML/CTF legislation.
2.3 Technical and Usage Data

4. Disclosure of Your Information
We do not sell your personal information to third parties. However, we may share your data with trusted partners to ensure the platform runs smoothly:
- Payment Providers: To process your BPAY, Neosurf, or crypto transactions.

5. International Data Transfers
AstroMania Casino may use servers located outside of Australia. While your data may be stored or processed in other jurisdictions, we take all reasonable steps to ensure that any overseas recipient treats your information with the same level of protection required by the Australian Privacy Principles.
If we transfer data to a country with different data protection laws, we implement standard contractual clauses to ensure your privacy remains a top priority.
6. Data Security
We take the security of your "hard-earned" very seriously. AstroMania Casino employs industry-standard encryption protocols (SSL/TLS) to protect your financial transactions and personal details.
- Firewalls: We use advanced firewall technology to prevent unauthorized access to our cosmic servers.
- Internal Access: Access to your personal data is restricted to authorized employees who need it to perform their jobs (e.g, support staff during local arvo hours).
- Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): We strongly encourage all punters to enable 2FA on their accounts for an extra layer of protection.
7. Data Retention
How long do we keep your info? As long as you have an active account with us. If you decide to close your account, we are legally required under Australian AML/CTF laws to retain certain records for a period of seven (7) years. After this period, your data will be securely deleted or anonymized.
8. Your Rights as a Punter
Under the Privacy Act 1988, you have specific rights regarding your personal information:
8.1 Access and Correction
You have the right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you. If you notice that your address or phone number is out of date, you can update it in your account settings or contact [email protected].
8.2 Deletion (The Right to be Forgotten)
You can request that we delete your personal data. Please note that legal obligations (such as record-keeping for the ACMA) may prevent us from deleting everything immediately.
8.3 Marketing Preferences
If you're tired of hearing about the latest free spins on the pokies, you can opt-out of marketing emails at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of our communications.

10. Responsible Gambling and Privacy
