Bevezetés és Adatkezelő
Adatkezelő azonosítása
The data controller behind the Hungarian-language 1Bet site is Bellona N.V., registered at Heelsumstraat 51 E-Commerce Park, Curaçao, under company registration number 120860. The operating licence was issued by the Government of Curaçao (Antillephone N.V., licence no. 8048/JAZ). This means 1Bet is an offshore-licensed operator, not a provider authorised by the Hungarian SZTFH gambling regulator.
Adatvédelmi elvek
According to the operator’s documentation, 1Bet processes personal data on the principles of lawfulness, purpose limitation, and data minimisation. Data is collected only for defined purposes – account operation, payments, identity verification, and fraud prevention – and is not used beyond those purposes without a valid legal basis.
GDPR megfelelés
Although 1Bet operates under a Curaçao licence, players in Hungary fall within the territorial scope of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In practice this means Hungarian users retain the full set of GDPR rights – access, rectification, erasure, and portability – and can lodge complaints with the Hungarian data protection authority (NAIH) if they believe their data has been mishandled.
Gyűjtött Adatok Típusai
Személyes azonosító adatok
Registration and account verification at 1Bet involve the following identity data:
- Full name, date of birth, and residential address – the minimum age for an account is 18
- E-mail address and phone number used for account communication
- KYC documents submitted in the “Account Verification” menu: a passport, driving licence, or national identity card to prove identity, plus a utility bill or bank statement to confirm the address
Verification is mandatory before the first withdrawal – until it is completed, deposits work but payouts are blocked.
Tranzakciós adatok
Every deposit and withdrawal leaves a transaction record. 1Bet supports Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, NETELLER, MiFinity, Jeton, Rapid Transfer, Revolut, paysafecard (deposits only), and Klarna for OTP customers seeking fast banking, with cryptocurrencies available as a secondary option. Card withdrawals are paid to the bank account linked to the card. For most methods the minimum deposit is 10 EUR per transaction, while the displayed minimum on the site is 8,000 Ft; deposit maximums for customers living in Hungary range between 1,000 EUR and 8,800 EUR depending on the method.
Technikai és használati adatok
The operator also logs technical data automatically: IP address, device and browser type, login timestamps, and on-site activity such as pages visited and bets placed. This data supports security monitoring, session management, and the detection of duplicate accounts or bonus abuse.
Adatkezelés Célja és Jogalapja
Miért gyűjtünk adatokat
1Bet processes personal data for four core purposes: opening and running the player account, executing deposits and withdrawals, meeting anti-money-laundering and KYC obligations tied to its Curaçao licence, and – where consented – sending promotional communications such as bonus offers.
Jogalap és hozzájárulás
The legal bases are contract performance (account operation and payments), legal obligation (AML and identity checks), legitimate interest (fraud prevention and platform security), and consent (marketing messages and non-essential cookies). Consent-based processing can be withdrawn at any time through the account settings or by contacting support.
Adatmegőrzési időszakok
Account and transaction records are retained for the duration of the account and afterwards for the period required by AML and financial-record-keeping obligations under the licensing jurisdiction. Marketing-related data is deleted or anonymised once consent is withdrawn. The operator does not publish exact retention windows for each category, so players wanting precise figures should request them from support.
Adatbiztonság és Védelem
Technikai védelmi intézkedések
According to the operator, access to personal data is restricted to authorised staff and payment processors, with role-based permissions and monitoring of administrative access. Card payments are routed through PCI-compliant gateways rather than being stored directly on the platform.
Titkosítás és tárolás
Data in transit between the player’s device and 1Bet’s servers is protected by SSL/TLS encryption – visible as the secure connection in the browser. Uploaded KYC documents (passport, driving licence, identity card, utility bill, bank statement) are stored on protected servers and used solely for verification.
Adatvédelmi incidensek kezelése
Under GDPR, a personal-data breach that risks users’ rights must be reported to the supervisory authority within 72 hours, and affected players must be informed where the risk is high. Hungarian players who suspect unauthorised access to their account should change their password and contact support immediately via live chat or e-mail (currently available in English, according to independent tests).
Felhasználói Jogok
Hozzáférés és helyesbítés
Players may request a copy of the personal data 1Bet holds about them and may correct inaccurate details – for example an outdated address or a mistyped name – either in the account profile or through customer support. Changes affecting identity data may trigger a repeat KYC check.
Törléshez való jog
Players can request account closure and deletion of their data. Note that AML rules allow the operator to retain transaction and identity records for the legally mandated period even after the account is closed; deletion applies to data with no overriding retention obligation.
Adathordozhatóság
Where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out automatically, players may receive their data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and transmit it to another controller. Requests are typically submitted by e-mail to support, and the operator must respond within the GDPR deadline of one month.
