Pin-Up is committed to promoting a safe and responsible betting environment for all users in Nigeria. The platform provides a range of tools and resources to help you maintain control over your gambling activity.

Self-Assessment

If you are concerned about your gambling habits, the platform encourages you to carry out a personal risk self-assessment. Consider the following indicators:

• Spending more than you can afford to lose.
• Betting to recover previous losses.
• Neglecting personal, professional, or financial responsibilities due to betting activity.
• Feeling distress when unable to access the platform.

If any of these apply to you, it is advisable to make use of the responsible gambling tools available on the platform or to seek professional support.

Registered users in Nigeria have access to the following account management tools:

• Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly caps on the amount you can deposit into your account.
• Betting Limits: Restrict the maximum stake allowed per bet over a defined period.

To activate any of these tools, navigate to the responsible gambling section within your account settings, or contact customer support directly.

Underage Gambling Prevention

The Pin-Up platform strictly prohibits the use of its services by individuals under the age of 18. The platform employs age verification procedures during registration and reserves the right to request proof of age at any time. If underage gambling is identified, the account will be immediately suspended and any funds may be withheld pending review.

Pin-Up operates in full compliance with applicable anti-money laundering (AML) legislation and the requirements set out by Nigerian regulatory authorities. The platform maintains strict internal controls to prevent its services from being used to facilitate financial crime, including money laundering and the financing of terrorism.

Legal Obligations

Pin-Up is legally obligated under Nigerian law and its operating licence to:

• Verify the identity of all users before processing financial transactions.
• Monitor account activity for unusual or suspicious patterns.
• Report any transactions or activities that raise reasonable suspicion of financial crime to the appropriate Nigerian authorities.
• Retain records of all identity verification documents and transaction histories for the period required by law.

Know Your Customer (KYC) Procedures

All users are required to complete the KYC verification process. This involves the submission of:

• A valid, government-issued photo identification document.
• Proof of current residential address.
• Documentation confirming the source of funds, where applicable for high-value transactions.

Accounts that have not completed the required KYC procedures will have restricted access to deposits, withdrawals, and certain platform features.

Transaction Monitoring

The platform employs automated systems to monitor all financial transactions in real time. Monitoring protocols are designed to detect:

• Unusually large or frequent transactions inconsistent with a user’s established profile.
• Structured deposits designed to circumvent reporting thresholds.
• Rapid cycling of funds through deposits and withdrawals without corresponding betting activity.
• Transactions linked to high-risk jurisdictions or flagged payment sources.

Suspicious Activity Detection

All flagged activity is reviewed by the platform’s compliance team. Where there are reasonable grounds to suspect financial crime, Pin-Up will:

• Place an immediate hold on the affected account and its associated funds.
• Request additional documentation or explanation from the account holder.
• Submit a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) to the relevant Nigerian regulatory or law enforcement authority.

Consequences of Policy Violations

Users found to be in breach of the platform’s AML policy may be subject to the following actions:

• Temporary or permanent account suspension.
• Freezing of account funds pending regulatory investigation.
• Complete account closure and forfeiture of any funds determined to be linked to prohibited activity.
• Referral to Nigerian law enforcement authorities where required by law.

Pin-Up is committed to protecting the personal data of all users in Nigeria. This section outlines the types of data collected, the purposes for which it is used, and your rights as a data subject under applicable Nigerian data protection legislation, including the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR).

Personal Data Collected

When you register and use the platform, the following categories of personal data may be collected:

• Identity Data: Full name, date of birth, gender, and government-issued identification details.
• Contact Data: Email address, phone number, and residential address.
• Financial Data: Payment method details, transaction history, and account balance records.
• Technical Data: IP address, browser type, device identifiers, and login activity logs.
• Usage Data: Betting history, session duration, platform interactions, and feature usage patterns.

How Your Data Is Used

Personal data collected on the platform is used for the following lawful purposes:

• Account registration, verification, and management.
• Processing deposits, withdrawals, and other financial transactions.
• Compliance with legal obligations, including KYC, AML, and tax reporting requirements under Nigerian law.
• Fraud prevention and platform security monitoring.
• Communication of account-related information and service updates.
• Improvement of platform services and user experience based on aggregated usage analysis.

Pin-Up does not sell personal data to third parties. Data may be shared with regulated service providers, payment processors, and regulatory authorities strictly as required by law or contractual necessity.

Your Rights as a Data Subject

Under the NDPR and applicable Nigerian law, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right of Access: You may request a copy of the personal data held about you.
• Right to Rectification: You may request corrections to any inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Right to Erasure: You may request deletion of your personal data, subject to any legal retention obligations.
• Right to Restriction: You may request that processing of your data be limited in certain circumstances.
• Right to Data Portability: You may request the transfer of your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Right to Object: You may object to the processing of your personal data in certain contexts.

To exercise any of these rights, contact the platform’s data protection officer through the official support channels. Requests will be processed within the timeframe specified under Nigerian data protection law.

Data Retention

Personal data is retained for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected and to comply with applicable legal requirements. Upon account closure, data may be retained for up to five years as required by Nigerian AML and financial regulatory obligations.

The security of your account, personal data, and financial transactions is a primary operational commitment for Pin-Up in Nigeria. The platform deploys a combination of technical and organisational safeguards to protect against unauthorised access, data breaches, and fraudulent activity.

Data Encryption

All data transmitted between your device and the Pin-Up platform is protected using industry-standard Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption. This ensures that sensitive information, including login credentials, payment details, and personal data, cannot be intercepted during transmission.

Data stored on platform servers is encrypted at rest using current encryption protocols, minimising the risk of exposure in the event of any system compromise.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Users are strongly advised to enable two-factor authentication on their accounts. When activated, 2FA requires a secondary verification step in addition to your password, typically through a one-time code sent to your registered mobile number or email address. This significantly reduces the risk of unauthorised account access, even if your primary password is compromised.

Continuous Activity Monitoring

The platform operates a continuous security monitoring system that tracks account activity and transaction patterns. This system is designed to:

• Detect and flag login attempts from unfamiliar devices or locations.
• Identify account activity inconsistent with your established usage patterns.
• Trigger automatic security holds where potentially fraudulent access is detected.
• Alert users to suspicious login activity via registered contact channels.

Organisational Security Measures

Beyond technical controls, Pin-Up enforces the following organisational security measures:

• Access to user data is restricted to authorised personnel only, on a need-to-know basis.
• All staff with access to sensitive data undergo regular security training and background screening.
• Platform systems undergo periodic security audits and vulnerability assessments by independent specialists.
• Incident response procedures are in place to manage and contain any security breaches in a timely manner.

User Responsibilities

You share responsibility for the security of your account. You are expected to:

• Use a strong, unique password for your account and update it regularly.
• Never share your login credentials with any other person.
• Log out of your account after each session, particularly when using shared or public devices.
• Report any suspected unauthorised access or suspicious account activity to customer support immediately.
