ACCOUNT SECURITY

How pokernews Protects Your Account Data

Your account data and payment details are handled under strict access controls. We do not share your PayPal, Venmo, or Play+ credentials with third parties outside of what is required to process your transaction. SSL encryption covers all data in transit between your device and our servers.

Data Retention We hold your account and transaction records for as long as required by applicable state law and internal compliance standards. You can request a summary of what we hold by contacting support.
Cookie Policy We use cookies to keep you logged in, track session state on mobile, and measure which pages load correctly. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings at any time.
Account Access Controls Every login triggers a one-time passcode to your registered email or phone. If you suspect unauthorized access, contact live chat immediately so we can lock the account and review recent activity.
Requesting Changes To update your registered name, address, or linked payment method, submit a request through the account settings page. Changes to payment rails like PayPal or Venmo require re-verification before the next withdrawal.

If something in these terms is unclear, the questions below cover what we hear most. For anything not listed here, live chat or email support can give you a direct answer.

These terms apply to anyone who opens or uses a pokernews account. Access depends on your state of residence and is available only where state law permits participation.

We will post any changes to this page with an effective date. Continuing to use your account after that date counts as acceptance. Check this page when you receive an update notification.

Funds are held while we review the reason for suspension. If the review clears, we return the balance to your linked PayPal, Venmo, or Play+ account following standard verification steps.

Contact support via live chat or email with your account ID and the specific decision you are disputing. We review disputes and respond with a written explanation within the timeframe stated in your state.

We store only the reference data needed to process your transaction. Full PayPal and Venmo credentials are never stored on our servers — they stay within each payment provider's own secure environment.

Submit a data request through live chat or email support. We will compile your account history and transaction records and deliver them to your registered email address as permitted by applicable law.
