Privacy Policy

Last Updated: June 23, 2026

Welcome to Stake.us. We value your privacy and are deeply committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy outlines how Sweepsteaks Limited (operating as Stake.us, "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards your information when you visit our website and utilize our social casino platform, accessible at us-us-stake.com.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By creating an account, accessing the site, or partaking in our free-to-play social casino games, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the terms outlined in this document. If you do not agree with this policy, you must immediately cease all use of our services.

1. Information We Collect

To provide you with the best possible social gaming experience and to ensure compliance with US sweepstakes laws, we collect various types of information from our users. This information is broadly categorized into the following segments:

A. Personal Identity Information

When you register for a Stake.us account, participate in our VIP program, or request a redemption of Stake Cash (SC) for real-world cryptocurrency prizes, we collect personal information that can directly identify you. This includes:

  • Contact Details: First and last name, email address, date of birth, residential address, state, and zip code.
  • Verification Data (KYC): Government-issued identification documents (such as a US driver's license or passport), biometric facial scans, and utility bills used strictly to verify your age, identity, and eligibility to play.
  • Account Credentials: Usernames, passwords, and two-factor authentication (2FA) tokens.

B. Gameplay and Financial Data

While Stake.us is a free-to-play social casino, we track data related to your interactions with our virtual currencies and games:

  • Virtual Balances: Records of your Gold Coin (GC) and Stake Cash (SC) balances, acquisition methods (daily reloads, purchases, mail-in requests), and redemption history.
  • Gaming Activity: Detailed logs of your bets, wins, losses, session durations, and interactions with our Live Dealer and Stake Original games.
  • Payment Information: If you choose to purchase optional Gold Coin packages, we collect transaction history. Please note, cryptocurrency transactions are processed via secure blockchain networks, and traditional fiat payments are handled by third-party processors. We do not store full credit card numbers on our servers.

C. Automated Device and Usage Data

Our servers automatically collect technical information when you navigate the platform to ensure security and optimize performance:

  • Device Specs: IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers, and mobile network information.
  • Usage Logs: Access times, pages viewed, referral URLs, and interactions with our community chat features.

2. How We Use Your Information

The data we collect is essential for operating a secure, fair, and legally compliant social casino. We utilize your information to:

  • Provide the Service: Create and manage your account, process Gold Coin purchases, and facilitate the redemption of Stake Cash for crypto prizes.
  • Legal and Compliance: Verify your identity to ensure you meet the minimum age requirement (21+) and reside in an eligible US state (excluding WA, NV, ID, NY, KY, MI, VT).
  • Platform Security: Monitor for fraudulent activity, account takeovers, money laundering attempts, and violations of our Terms of Service.
  • Personalization: Track your VIP progression, calculate Rakeback and monthly bonuses, and tailor game recommendations.
  • Communication: Send you transactional emails, security alerts, and, with your explicit consent, promotional materials regarding giveaways and new game releases.

3. Disclosure of Your Information

We hold your privacy in the highest regard and do not sell your personal data to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. However, we may share your information under the following circumstances:

A. Service Providers and Partners

We employ trusted third-party companies to perform vital functions on our behalf. These include KYC verification partners (e.g., Sumsub or Veriff), payment processors, customer support software (e.g., Intercom), and email delivery services. These providers are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and are prohibited from using your data for any other purpose.

B. Legal Obligations and Safety

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, or subpoena. Furthermore, we reserve the right to share data with law enforcement agencies or regulatory bodies if we have reasonable grounds to suspect fraudulent gameplay, money laundering, or threats to the safety and integrity of the Stake.us platform and its users.

4. Tracking Technologies and Cookies

We utilize cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies are small data files stored on your device that allow us to remember your preferences (such as dark mode settings or language selection), keep you logged in, and analyze site traffic.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling essential cookies may impact the functionality of the Stake.us platform, preventing you from logging in or playing games correctly. We also utilize analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, to measure platform engagement and optimize our UI/UX design.

5. Data Security and Retention

We implement robust physical, technical, and administrative security measures designed to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. This includes end-to-end SSL encryption, secure firewall configurations, and mandatory Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for user accounts.

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law (such as anti-money laundering regulations, which typically mandate data retention for up to 5 years after account closure). Once the retention period expires, your data is securely deleted or anonymized.

6. US State-Specific Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a resident of certain US states, including California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, or Utah, you may have specific statutory rights regarding your personal data. These rights generally include:

  • Right to Know: The right to request disclosure of the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you over the past 12 months.
  • Right to Delete: The right to request the deletion of your personal information, subject to certain legal exceptions (such as our requirement to hold data for AML and sweepstakes compliance).
  • Right to Correct: The right to request the correction of inaccurate personal data held by us.
  • Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your privacy rights.

To exercise these rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer by utilizing the Live Support feature within your account dashboard or by emailing [email protected]. We will verify your identity before processing your request.

7. Children's Privacy

Stake.us is strictly intended for an adult audience. Our services are not directed at, nor do we knowingly collect personal information from, individuals under the age of 21. If we become aware that a minor has provided us with personal data, we will take immediate steps to permanently delete that information and terminate the associated account.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our legal obligations, platform features, or operational practices. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
