Protection of Children’s Privacy
The platform is intended solely for individuals who are 18 years of age or older. Access to and use of the services by minors is strictly prohibited.
Age Verification
While Bet365 takes reasonable steps to restrict access by minors, the platform cannot independently verify the age of every user without the submission of valid identification documents.

All international data transfers are conducted with appropriate safeguards to protect user information. These include:
- Contractual obligations requiring all partner organisations to maintain the confidentiality and security of personal data
- Data processing agreements that set out the responsibilities of each party in relation to personal information
- Restrictions on the use of personal data by third parties beyond the agreed purpose
Users may contact the platform for further information regarding the specific safeguards applied to international data transfers.
