Contract Performance — to create and manage your account and provide competition services as described in our Terms & Conditions.
Legitimate Interests— for fraud prevention, platform security, analytics, and improving our services, where these interests are not overridden by your rights.
Legal Obligation — where we are required to process data to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including responsible gambling obligations and anti-money laundering requirements.
The following jurisdiction-specific frameworks apply to users in the respective regions:

By registering on the Platform and ticking the relevant consent box(es), you agree to receive marketing communications from us by email and/or SMS. Your consent is voluntary and you may withdraw it at any time.
6.1 Email Marketing

Once you unsubscribe, we will remove you from our marketing email list within 5 business days. You will continue to receive essential service emails unless you close your account.

For users in the United States, our email marketing complies with the CAN-SPAM Act 2003, which requires that all commercial emails include a valid physical postal address, a clear opt-out mechanism, and that unsubscribe requests are honoured within 10 business days. All our marketing emails include our registered company address and a working unsubscribe link in satisfaction of these requirements.

If you consent to SMS marketing, we may send you text messages about competitions and offers. Every text message we send will clearly explain how to opt out.

6.3 Withdrawal of Consent
Withdrawing your consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdrew consent. Withdrawal of marketing consent does not affect your ability to use the Platform.
7. Sharing Your Data
We do not sell your personal data. We may share your personal data with the following categories of recipients:
Approved Affiliates and Partners: With your consent, we may share your details (including contact and mailing list information) with carefully selected affiliates and partners who offer related products and services. These parties are contractually required to handle your data in accordance with applicable privacy laws and to offer clear opt-out mechanisms.
Service Providers: Third parties who assist us in operating the Platform, such as email delivery services, SMS gateway providers, analytics platforms, IT support, and hosting providers. These parties act as data processors and are bound by confidentiality and data protection obligations.
Sportsbook Partners: Affiliated sportsbooks and competition operators where necessary to administer competitions you have entered.
Responsible Gambling Bodies: Where required by law or regulation, we may disclose information to self-exclusion schemes, gambling regulators, or responsible gambling organisations.
Law Enforcement and Regulators: We will disclose personal data to competent authorities where required by applicable law, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Company, our users, or the public.
Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our business, your personal data may be transferred to the relevant third party as part of that transaction, subject to the same privacy protections.
All third parties with whom we share your data are required to maintain adequate data protection standards. We do not authorise them to use your data for their own independent purposes beyond those specified.
For California residents: We do not “sell” or “share” your personal information as those terms are defined under the CCPA/CPRA, including for cross-context behavioural advertising, without your express consent.
8. Data Security
We take the security of your personal data seriously and implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect it against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or disclosure. These measures include encryption of data in transit and at rest, access controls,
and regular security reviews.
As stated, we do not store any credit card, bank account, or other payment information. All payment processing, where applicable, is handled by third-party payment providers with their own security standards.
In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority within the timeframe required by applicable law (typically 72 hours under GDPR; as soon as practicable under the Australian Notifiable Data Breaches scheme; and without unreasonable delay under applicable US state laws). Where the breach is likely to result in a high risk to you, we will also notify you directly where required.
9. Data Retention
We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as necessary to provide our services. When you close your account, or where data is no longer needed, we will securely delete or anonymise it, except where we are required to retain it longer by law (for example,
financial transaction records may be retained for up to seven years under applicable tax and anti-money laundering laws).
Marketing data is retained until you withdraw your consent or as required by applicable anti-spam regulations.
Data collected for regulatory and responsible gambling compliance purposes will be retained for the period required by the relevant laws or regulatory guidance.
10. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our Website uses cookies and similar technologies (including web beacons and pixels) to improve functionality, analyse traffic, and deliver relevant content. Cookies are small text files stored on your device.
10.1 Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies: Necessary for the Website to function (e.g., session management, login). These cannot be disabled.
Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors use the Website (e.g., Google Analytics). Used only with your consent.
Marketing/Tracking Cookies: Used to deliver targeted advertising and track the effectiveness
of campaigns. Used only with your consent.
10.2 Managing Cookies
When you first visit the Website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner allowing you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time via the cookie settings link in our Website footer. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings, though disabling certain cookies may affect Website functionality.
11. International Data Transfers
Because we operate globally and work with international service providers, your personal data may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in countries outside your country of residence. Some of these countries may not provide the same level of data protection as your home country.
Where we transfer personal data outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission or UK Information Commissioner, or we rely on other lawful transfer mechanisms recognised under applicable law.
For transfers involving Australian users, we comply with Australian Privacy Principle 8 (APP 8), which governs cross-border disclosure of personal information. Before disclosing your personal data to an overseas recipient, we take reasonable steps to ensure that the recipient does not breach the Australian Privacy Principles in relation to that information.
For transfers involving US users, data may be stored and processed in the Philippines or other jurisdictions. We implement appropriate contractual protections to safeguard your data in transit and at rest.
Transfers from the Philippines are conducted in accordance with the National Privacy Commission’s cross-border transfer rules under the Data Privacy Act of 2012. Transfers involving Indian users are conducted in accordance with the DPDP Act 2023 and any rules made thereunder.
12. Age Verification and Minors
Our services are intended for adults who meet the minimum age requirement applicable in their jurisdiction. The general minimum age to register and participate is 18 years. However, higher minimum ages apply in certain jurisdictions — most notably, participation in sports betting and related competitions in the Philippines is restricted to persons aged 21 or over under PAGCOR regulations. Where local law sets a higher minimum age than 18, that higher age applies to users in that jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect or process personal data from individuals who do not meet the applicable minimum age.
By registering, you confirm that you meet the minimum age requirement applicable in your country of residence. We may request proof of age at any time. If we become aware that we have collected data from a person who does not meet the applicable minimum age, we will delete it promptly. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such data, please contact us immediately at marketing@2milliontipping.com.
13. Responsible Gambling
The legal classification of tipping competitions varies by jurisdiction. In some countries and territories where we operate — including the Philippines (regulated by PAGCOR), Canada (where paid entry competitions may be treated as gambling under the Criminal Code), and certain US states — our activities may be subject to gambling regulations. In other jurisdictions, such as Australia and the United Kingdom, tipping competitions structured as skill-based contests are generally not classified as gambling, and responsible gambling obligations do not directly apply.
In jurisdictions where our activities are subject to gambling regulation, we are committed to supporting responsible participation. Where required by applicable gambling laws or regulations, we may process personal data to monitor for signs of problem gambling behaviour and to comply with self-exclusion, cooling-off, or harm-minimisation obligations. We may share relevant information with licensed responsible gambling bodies and self-exclusion schemes as required by the laws of the relevant jurisdiction.
Regardless of jurisdiction, if you have concerns about your participation or wish to discuss self-exclusion options, please contact us at marketing@2milliontipping.com.
14. Your Rights
