By using our services, you agree to the practices described in this policy. We at Charmius operate under a licence issued by the Tobique Gaming Commission, and we handle your data in accordance with applicable data protection laws in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and other jurisdictions we serve.
Who We Are and What This Policy Covers
Charmius Casino is owned and operated by 3-102-957682 S.R.L., registered in Costa Rica, with payment processing handled by Massivity Ltd, registered in Cyprus. We provide a wide range of gaming products, including slots, live dealer games, table games, and sports betting, and this policy applies to all personal data collected through our website, mobile version, and PWA application across Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS devices. If you have questions about how we handle your personal information, you can reach our support team via live chat, available 24/7, or by email at [email protected].
Information We Collect
We collect several categories of personal data to provide our services, verify your identity, process transactions, and comply with our regulatory obligations. The information we gather includes:
- We collect registration details such as your name, date of birth, email address, phone number, and residential address when you create an account with Charmius.
- We gather identity verification documents, including government-issued ID and proof of address, as part of our one-time verification process, which typically takes between 2 and 24 hours.
- We record financial information related to deposits and withdrawals, including payment method details for options such as Visa, Mastercard, Interac, Bank Transfer, and various cryptocurrencies.
- We track your gaming activity, including wagers, game history, bonus usage, and session duration, to manage your account and improve our services.
- We collect technical data such as your IP address, device type, browser information, and login timestamps for security and fraud-prevention purposes.
- We store communication records when you contact our customer support team through live chat or email.
How We Use Your Data
We use the information we collect for a number of legitimate purposes connected to operating Charmius Casino safely and efficiently. Our purposes include:
- We process your data to verify your identity and comply with anti-money laundering and know-your-customer requirements before confirming any withdrawal request.
- We use your financial details to process deposits and withdrawals, including applying our daily and weekly withdrawal limits of $2,000 and $5,000 respectively.

- We personalise your experience by tailoring offers, VIP rewards, and Loyalty Program benefits based on your activity level and Experience Points.
- We use your contact information to send account notifications, security alerts, and, where you have opted in, marketing communications about new promotions and tournaments.
- We monitor transactions and account behaviour to detect fraud, prevent unauthorised access, and protect the integrity of our platform.
Legal Basis for Processing
We process your personal data on several legal grounds, depending on the context. In most cases, we rely on the performance of our contract with you when you register and play at Charmius, our legitimate interest in preventing fraud and securing our platform, our legal obligation to verify identity and report suspicious activity to regulators, and, where applicable, your consent for marketing communications. You may withdraw your consent for marketing at any time by contacting our support team or adjusting your account preferences.
Sharing Your Information
We do not sell your personal data to third parties. However, we may share your information with select partners where necessary to operate our services, including:
- We share payment data with processors such as Massivity Ltd and relevant banking or e-wallet providers to complete deposits and withdrawals.
- We disclose necessary information to game providers and live dealer studios, including Booongo, Betsoft, Pragmatic Play Live, and other partners, so that gameplay can function correctly.
- We provide information to regulatory authorities, including the Tobique Gaming Commission, when required by law or licensing conditions.
- We may share data with fraud-prevention and verification services to confirm your identity and protect against unauthorised account use.
- We engage trusted technology vendors who support our website, PWA app, and customer support systems, under strict confidentiality obligations.
Data Retention
We retain your personal data for as long as necessary to provide our services, comply with legal and regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Verification documents, transaction records, and gaming history are generally kept for the period required under our licensing framework, even after you close your account, to meet audit and anti-money laundering requirements.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate our website, remember your preferences, and analyse how you interact with Charmius. These technologies help us keep you logged in, apply correct currency and language settings, and improve the overall performance of our platform.

Data Security
We implement industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse.
