Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2026

World Sports Betting (worldsports-betting.co.za) takes your privacy seriously. This policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, and how we use it. By using our website, you agree to the practices described here.

Who We Are

World Sports Betting is operated in accordance with South African law, including the National Gambling Act 7 of 2004 and the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) 4 of 2013. We are committed to protecting your personal information and handling it responsibly.

What Information We Collect

When you register or use our site, we may collect the following:

• Your full name, date of birth, and South African ID number
• Contact details including your email address, phone number, and physical address
• Financial information such as your bank account details or payment method information used for deposits and withdrawals in South African Rand (ZAR)
• Device and usage data, including your IP address, browser type, and how you interact with our website
• Identity verification documents as required by FICA (Financial Intelligence Centre Act) compliance

Why We Collect Your Information

We need your personal information to run your account properly and keep it secure. There's no way around it. Specifically, we use it to:

• Verify your identity and confirm you are 18 years or older
• Process your bets, deposits, and withdrawals in ZAR
• Comply with our legal obligations under South African gambling regulations and FICA
• Detect and prevent fraud or problem gambling behaviour
• Send you account-related communications and, where you've opted in, promotional offers

How We Share Your Information

We don't sell your personal information to third parties. Full stop. But we do share it in certain situations:

• With the National Gambling Board (NGB) or other regulatory authorities when legally required
• With payment processors and banking partners to complete your transactions
• With identity verification and fraud prevention service providers
• With law enforcement agencies if required by a court order or applicable South African law

Keeping Your Information Safe

We use industry-standard security measures to protect your data. This includes encrypted connections (SSL), secure servers, and strict internal access controls. But no system is 100% foolproof, so we encourage you to keep your login details private and never share your password with anyone.

Your Rights Under POPIA

As a South African resident, you have rights over your personal information. You can request access to the data we hold about you, ask us to correct inaccurate information, or request that we delete your data in certain circumstances. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the details below.

Data Retention

We keep your personal information for as long as your account is active and for a period thereafter as required by South African law, including FICA record-keeping requirements. When we no longer need your data, we dispose of it securely.
