Common Questions
Can I use the app without granting all permissions?
Yes. Only internet and storage are truly required. Camera is needed only for verification, location only in some regions, notifications only if you want alerts.
Why does the app need location?
Gambling regulations require operators to verify users are in permitted regions. Location is checked during registration and occasionally for compliance. It's not continuous tracking.
Is my data safe?
Yes. Permission data is encrypted and used only for stated purposes. We don't access contacts, messages, or other personal data not related to app functionality.
Can I change permissions later?
Yes. You can grant or revoke any permission at any time through your device settings. The app will prompt you again if needed for specific features.
