The Virgin Bet platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to distinguish you from other users of our website. This helps us to provide you with a high-quality, personalized browsing experience and allows us to improve our site.
We use essential cookies (necessary for the site to function, such as keeping you logged in securely), analytical cookies (to measure traffic and site performance), and targeting cookies (to deliver relevant advertising). You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies; however, please note that if you disable essential cookies, portions of the Virgin Bet app and website may become inaccessible or fail to function properly.

We share your personal data within the LiveScore Group. This may involve transferring your data outside the UK and the European Economic Area (EEA). Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK/EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring that appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the relevant authorities, are implemented.
7. Data Security
Security is paramount in the online betting industry. We have put in place robust, state-of-the-art security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorized way. All sensitive financial and identity data submitted via the Virgin Bet app is encrypted using SSL technology. Furthermore, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, and contractors who have a strict business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our direct instructions and are subject to a duty of strict confidentiality.
8. Data Retention: How Long We Keep Your Data
We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements.
