Who This Policy Applies To
This Privacy Policy applies to all individuals who access or use the Lucky Hunter Casino website at https://lucky-hunter-casino-canada.com/, create a player account, make deposits or withdrawals, contact our support team, or otherwise interact with our platform. It covers personal information collected through the website, the Lucky Hunter mobile application available on the App Store and Google Play, and any communications between you and our team.
Lucky Hunter Casino is operated from 10235 101 St NW, Suite 2550, Edmonton, AB T5J 3G1, Canada. This address is the registered location of the entity responsible for the personal information practices described here. You can reach us at support@lucky-hunter-casino-canada.com or by phone at +1 (780) 555-4407.
This policy is written specifically for Canadian residents and reflects the requirements of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), the federal privacy law that governs how private-sector organizations collect, use, and disclose personal information in the course of commercial activity. Where applicable, the requirements of Alberta’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) are also reflected in these practices, as Alberta has been recognized as having substantially similar privacy legislation at the provincial level.
If you are accessing the Lucky Hunter platform from outside Canada, different privacy rules may apply in your jurisdiction. This document does not address those frameworks.
What Personal Information We Collect
Information You Provide Directly
When you register an account, complete identity verification, contact our support team, or participate in promotional activities, you provide us with personal information. The categories of information you give us directly include:
- Full legal name, date of birth, and country and province of residence
- Email address, mailing address, and telephone number
- Username and account password (stored in encrypted form)
- Government-issued photo identification, such as a Canadian passport or driver’s licence, submitted during identity verification
- Proof of address documents, such as a utility bill or bank statement, where requested during Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures
- Payment information, including partial card numbers associated with Visa or Mastercard deposits, Apple Pay or Google Pay account identifiers, or cryptocurrency wallet addresses used for Bitcoin, USDT, or Ethereum transactions
- Correspondence you send to us through support channels, including the content of live chat sessions, emails to support@lucky-hunter-casino-canada.com, or calls to +1 (780) 555-4407
- Responses to any responsible gambling questionnaires, self-exclusion requests, or deposit limit submissions you initiate
Information Collected Automatically
When you use the Lucky Hunter website or mobile application, certain technical data is collected automatically as part of normal platform operation. This includes:
- IP address and approximate geolocation derived from it
- Device type, operating system version, and browser type and version
- Session timestamps, including login times, session duration, and logout or inactivity events
- Pages visited within the platform, games launched, bets placed, and game outcomes
- Deposit and withdrawal transactions, including amounts, timestamps, methods, and processing status
- Referral source data, meaning the URL or channel through which you arrived at the Lucky Hunter website
- Cookie and tracking technology identifiers, described in detail in our Cookie Policy
Information From Third Parties
In certain circumstances, we receive personal information about you from third-party sources. These include:
- Identity verification service providers who confirm the authenticity of documents you submit
- Payment processors who handle card, digital wallet, and cryptocurrency transactions and provide us with transaction confirmations and fraud risk signals
- Responsible gambling databases, where you have previously registered a self-exclusion through a recognized Canadian program and we are checking new registrations against that list
- Analytics and fraud prevention partners who process behavioural data to identify unusual account activity
We do not purchase personal information from data brokers or marketing list providers.
Why We Collect and Use Your Personal Information
Account Registration and Identity Verification
Creating a player account requires us to collect identifying information. We use it to verify that you are who you say you are, that you meet the minimum age requirement of 18 years, and that you are located in a jurisdiction where you are permitted to access online gaming services. These are not optional data collection activities. Operating a licensed online casino under licence number OGL/2024/161/0191 requires us to conduct identity verification as a condition of the licence.
Processing Transactions
Every deposit and withdrawal involves financial data. We collect and process transaction information to execute the payment you request, verify that it comes from an account in your name, confirm that it clears successfully, and maintain a complete financial record associated with your account. This record is available to you through your account history and is used by our finance team when handling withdrawal requests, dispute resolution, and account reconciliation.
Anti-Money Laundering and Fraud Prevention
Canadian law imposes anti-money laundering (AML) obligations on gambling operators through the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act. Compliance with this legislation requires us to monitor transaction patterns, report certain transactions to the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC), maintain records for the mandatory retention period, and verify the source of funds in specific circumstances. We also use personal and behavioural data to detect account fraud, identify suspicious betting patterns, and investigate potential violations of our Terms and Conditions.
Responsible Gambling
We use account data, session data, and transaction history to support responsible gambling tools available on the platform. These include deposit limit monitoring, session time tracking, and the administration of self-exclusion requests. If you request self-exclusion, we use your personal information to enforce it, including cross-referencing your details against new account registration attempts during your exclusion period.
Customer Support
When you contact us by email at support@lucky-hunter-casino-canada.com, by phone at +1 (780) 555-4407, or through the live chat feature, we record and process the content of those communications for the purpose of addressing your inquiry and improving our support processes. Call recordings are retained for a defined period and may be reviewed for quality assurance purposes.
Marketing Communications
If you have provided explicit consent to receive promotional communications from Lucky Hunter Casino, we will send you information about bonus offers, new games, limited-time promotions, and other platform updates by email or push notification. Consent is collected separately from account registration and is not required to access the platform. You may withdraw your consent to marketing communications at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email we send, adjusting your notification settings in the app, or contacting us directly.
Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) governs commercial electronic messages sent to Canadian residents. Lucky Hunter Casino complies with CASL requirements, including obtaining express consent before sending commercial messages and honouring unsubscribe requests promptly.
Platform Improvement and Analytics
Aggregated and anonymised data from player sessions, game performance, and technical events is used internally to improve the platform. This includes identifying games with performance issues, understanding navigation patterns, and informing decisions about library additions and feature development.
Legal Basis for Processing
PIPEDA requires that personal information be collected only for purposes that a reasonable person would consider appropriate in the circumstances, and that collection be accompanied by meaningful consent. Our legal basis for processing personal information varies depending on the purpose:
- Contractual necessity: Processing required to fulfil our obligations under the Terms and Conditions you agree to when creating an account, including account management, payment processing, and game access
- Legal obligation: Processing required under applicable law, including AML compliance, FINTRAC reporting, and licence conditions associated with casino licence OGL/2024/161/0191
- Consent: Processing based on your explicit agreement, including marketing communications and the use of non-essential cookies
- Legitimate interests: Processing for fraud prevention, platform security, and responsible gambling monitoring, where those interests are balanced against your privacy rights
Consent: How We Obtain It and What Your Choices Are
Express Consent
Express consent is obtained where the collection or use of personal information is not required by law and is not strictly necessary to deliver the service you have requested. We seek express consent before sending marketing emails or push notifications, and before placing non-essential cookies on your device.
Implied Consent
Some processing is conducted on the basis of implied consent, meaning your use of the Lucky Hunter platform implies agreement with practices that are standard and expected in the context of online casino services. Creating an account, for instance, implies consent to the identity verification process, because that process is a known and necessary part of registering with any licensed online casino.
Withdrawing Consent
You can withdraw consent to non-essential data processing at any time, subject to certain limitations. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before the withdrawal. However, some forms of data processing are conditions of account access. If you withdraw consent to identity verification or AML-related data processing, we may not be able to maintain your account, as those processes are legally required.
To withdraw consent to marketing communications, use the unsubscribe mechanism included in all marketing emails or update your preferences in your account settings.
Disclosure of Personal Information
We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not share it with advertisers for the purpose of building profiles about you for use on other platforms. Disclosure of personal information occurs only in the following circumstances:
Service Providers
We work with third-party companies that provide specific functions on our behalf. These include identity verification services, payment processors handling Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Bitcoin, USDT, and Ethereum transactions, fraud detection platforms, cloud hosting providers, and customer support software providers. When personal information is shared with service providers, we require contractual commitments that the information will be used only for the specified purpose and protected to a standard consistent with PIPEDA requirements.
Game Providers
Lucky Hunter Casino offers games from 16 software providers, including Evolution, Play’n Go, Pragmatic Play, PG Soft, Spribe, BGaming, Evoplay, Ezugi, Playtech Live, 3 Oaks Gaming, SmartSoft, Turbo Games, OnlyPlay, Barbara Bang, VoltEnt, and others. These providers may receive limited session and game data necessary to deliver the games you play. The nature and volume of that data sharing depends on the technical integration between our platform and each provider.
Regulatory and Legal Requirements
We may disclose personal information to regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or courts where required by applicable law, including disclosures to FINTRAC under the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act, responses to valid judicial orders or search warrants, and compliance reporting to gaming regulatory authorities.
Business Transfers
In the event that Lucky Hunter Casino undergoes a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of assets, personal information held about players may form part of the transferred assets. You would be notified of any such transfer and any resulting change to this Privacy Policy before it takes effect.
International Data Transfers
Some of our service providers and game software partners are located outside Canada. Where personal information is transferred to a jurisdiction outside Canada, we take steps to ensure it receives an adequate level of protection. This may include contractual clauses that mirror the protections required under PIPEDA, or reliance on the adequacy frameworks recognized under applicable Canadian privacy guidance.
You should be aware that your personal information may be processed in countries whose privacy laws differ from those in Canada. Where this occurs, foreign governments, courts, or law enforcement agencies may have rights of access to that information under the laws of those countries.
How Long We Keep Your Personal Information
Retention periods for personal information depend on the category of data and the regulatory requirements attached to it.
- Account registration data is retained for the duration of your account and for a minimum of five years after account closure, in compliance with AML record-keeping requirements under federal law
- Transaction records are retained for a minimum of five years from the date of each transaction
- Identity verification documents are retained for the period required under applicable AML legislation, typically five years from the end of the business relationship
- Support communications are retained for a period sufficient to address any ongoing or potential disputes, generally up to two years
- Marketing consent records are retained for as long as necessary to demonstrate compliance with CASL and to resolve any consent-related disputes
- Technical log data is typically retained for periods ranging from 90 days to 12 months depending on its operational relevance
When personal information is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected and no legal retention obligation applies, it is securely deleted or anonymised.
Security of Your Personal Information
Lucky Hunter Casino applies technical and organisational safeguards to protect personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and loss. These include:
- Encryption of personal and financial data in transit using industry-standard TLS protocols
- Encryption of sensitive stored data, including passwords, payment credentials, and identity documents
- Access controls that restrict internal access to personal information to employees and contractors whose job functions require it
- Monitoring of system activity and security event logging
- Regular review of security practices in response to emerging threats
No method of electronic data transmission or storage is entirely without risk. While we take our obligation to protect your personal information seriously, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you become aware of any security vulnerability or believe your account has been compromised, contact us immediately at support@lucky-hunter-casino-canada.com or by phone at +1 (780) 555-4407.
Your Rights Under Canadian Privacy Law
PIPEDA and, where applicable, Alberta’s PIPA give you specific rights with respect to personal information held about you by private-sector organizations. These include:
Right to Access
You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, including information about the purposes for which it is being used and the categories of third parties to whom it has been disclosed. Requests for access should be submitted in writing to support@lucky-hunter-casino-canada.com. We will respond within 30 days of receiving a complete request. In some circumstances, the response period may be extended, in which case we will notify you of the delay and the reason for it.
We may charge a reasonable fee to cover the cost of responding to access requests where the request is complex or requires significant resources to fulfil. We will inform you of any applicable fee before processing your request.
Right to Correction
If the personal information we hold about you is inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date, you have the right to request that it be corrected. Some account details, such as your email address or phone number, can be updated directly through your account settings. Corrections to identity documents or legal name information must be supported by updated documentation.
Right to Withdraw Consent
As described in the consent section above, you have the right to withdraw consent to specific categories of processing at any time, subject to legal and contractual limitations.
Right to Lodge a Complaint
If you believe that Lucky Hunter Casino has handled your personal information in a manner inconsistent with PIPEDA, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC). The OPC can be reached through its website at priv.gc.ca or by mail at 30 Victoria Street, Gatineau, Quebec K1A 1H3. We encourage you to contact us first at support@lucky-hunter-casino-canada.com to give us the opportunity to address your concern directly before escalating to the OPC.
Alberta residents may also contact the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Alberta at oipc.ab.ca with concerns relating to the handling of personal information under Alberta’s PIPA.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 18. Age verification is conducted as part of the account registration process.
