1. Purpose and Scope
This document describes the identity verification procedures applied by Amusement City Casino in connection with guest access, membership registration and the management of personal data collected through these processes. These procedures apply to all individuals who visit the venue at 4 Westmoreland Street, Dublin 2, D02 W951, Ireland, or who submit a Guest Pass request via the official website at amusementcity.ie.
Identity verification at Amusement City Casino serves the following purposes: confirming that a visitor meets the minimum legal age required to enter a gambling venue under Irish law, establishing the identity of individuals seeking membership or guest access, maintaining accurate records as required by applicable Irish legislation, and ensuring compliance with data protection obligations under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Irish Data Protection Act 2018.
2. Legal Basis for Identity Verification
Amusement City Casino operates as a land-based gambling venue in Ireland and is subject to Irish law governing gambling premises, including age verification requirements. Under standard Irish practice, any individual seeking entry to a licensed gambling venue must be able to demonstrate that they have reached the legal gambling age. Identity verification is the mechanism through which this requirement is fulfilled.
The casino acts as the data controller for all personal data collected during the identity verification and registration process. This status is established in the casino’s Privacy and Cookie Policy, which governs how personal information is collected, used, stored and protected.
3. Accepted Identity Documents
Amusement City Casino requires visitors to present a valid government-issued photographic identity document at the point of entry or registration. In line with general Irish practice for gambling venues, accepted documents include a valid passport and a valid driving licence issued by an Irish or recognised authority. The document presented must be current, unaltered, and clearly display the holder’s name, date of birth and photograph.
Staff at the venue are authorised to inspect identity documents and to decline entry to any individual who is unable to produce satisfactory proof of age and identity. The casino does not accept expired documents or documents that show signs of alteration.
4. Guest Pass Process and Identity Data
Visitors who wish to access the venue as guests may submit a Guest Pass request through the official website. The Guest Pass form is hosted via Tally and requires the submission of personal information necessary to process the request. By submitting this form, the individual acknowledges that their data will be processed by Amusement City Casino in accordance with the casino’s Privacy and Cookie Policy.
Data submitted through the Guest Pass form is retained for a period of 12 months from the date of submission. If a visitor requests deletion of their data before this period expires, the casino will process that request in accordance with the applicable GDPR rights described in Section 6 of this document.
5. Membership Registration and Data Retention
Individuals who register as members of Amusement City Casino are required to provide identity information as part of the membership registration process. Membership records are retained for the duration of the active membership and for a further period of three years following the termination of membership.
The retention of membership data beyond the period of active membership is carried out for the purposes of regulatory record-keeping and compliance with applicable Irish legal obligations. Members may request information about the data held in relation to their membership at any time by contacting the casino using the details provided in Section 7 of this document.
6. Data Subject Rights Under GDPR
As the data controller, Amusement City Casino recognises and upholds the rights of individuals whose personal data is processed in connection with identity verification, Guest Pass requests and membership registration. These rights include the following:
- Right of access: an individual may request confirmation of whether their personal data is being processed and, if so, obtain a copy of that data.
- Right to rectification: an individual may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data held by the casino.
