How We Protect Your Data and Account

Data handling, cookie use, and account security on pokernews are built around standard US financial and privacy requirements. Your account credentials are stored in encrypted form, and login sessions use one-time verification codes sent to your registered device. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Data Retention We keep account and transaction records for the period required under applicable US regulations. You can request a copy of your data or ask for account closure through the help desk form.
Cookie Use Cookies on this site support session management, payment-flow continuity with PayPal and Venmo, and basic analytics. You can adjust cookie preferences from your browser settings at any time.
Account Security Login events trigger an OTP sent to your phone or email. If you notice an unrecognized session, use the account-lock option in settings immediately and contact live chat to flag the activity.
Requesting Changes To update personal details tied to your PayPal, Venmo, or Play+ wallet, submit a verified change request through account settings. Identity documents may be required to confirm the update.

Common Legal Questions About Your Account

The questions below cover what we get asked most about account rights, data, payment terms, and how to act on a legal request. If your question is not here, live chat or the help desk form will get you to the right place.

Yes. Creating an account and using the platform — including funding through PayPal, Venmo, or Play+ — constitutes your agreement to these terms as currently published on this page.

Access depends on your state's law. We restrict the platform in states where online gaming is not permitted. Confirm your state's current rules before funding your account or placing any wagers.

Submit a data-access request through the help desk form in your account settings. We process requests in line with applicable US privacy rules and will respond to your registered email address.

We retain records for the legally required period after closure, then delete them. Transaction records tied to PayPal, Venmo, or Play+ deposits may be kept longer under financial-compliance rules.

Open a case through the help desk form with your transaction ID. A manual review of the payment record — whether the original deposit came through PayPal, Venmo, or Play+ — begins within one business day.

Updated terms are posted on this page with a revised date. Continuing to use your account after that date means you accept the changes. We recommend checking back periodically to stay current.
