Information about your transactions and activities with us; and
Information collected using cookies and similar technologies when you visit our Websites, such as your IP address, device ID, and internet usage.
Your Consent to This Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions
This Privacy Policy is part of our Terms & Conditions available onsite and on our Websites. Please read this Privacy Policy and the Terms & Conditions prior to accessing or using our services. By accessing or using our services, you agree to the Terms & Conditions and this Privacy Policy.

We automatically track and collect the following information when you visit our Websites and mobile applications: IP address; domain server; type of computer; type of web browser; and geolocation.

To set up your account onsite or on any of our Websites, complete a transaction with you, or provide information you requested, we will ask you to provide the information we need to establish your eligibility and fulfill your request. Depending on the activity you select, this personal information may include the following: first name, last name, date of birth, address, phone number, email address, credit card number, driver's license, passport, and social security number.

If you request casino credit, we may request bank account, credit, and other financial information. To comply with applicable law, we may collect additional background information about you. If you join our Xclub rewards program (in person at our facility) or establish an online account, we will store your account information, which may include the previously mentioned personal information, as well as your username, password, and gaming and entertainment activity and preferences for future use.
