The site provides reviews, game information, and links to licensed online casinos. For privacy-related enquiries, users may contact the site operator via the contact details published on the website.

What Data We Collect

This website may collect the following categories of data:

  • Usage data: IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, time on site, and referring URL. Collected automatically via server logs and analytics tools.
  • Cookie data: Identifiers stored in the user's browser to support site functionality, analytics, and affiliate tracking. See the Cookie section below for detail.
  • Contact data: Name and email address, only when a user voluntarily submits a contact form or newsletter sign-up. The site does not collect contact data passively.

No special-category data (health, financial, biometric) is collected by this website. Payment data is handled exclusively by the licensed casinos to which users are referred - this site does not process transactions.

How We Use Your Data

Data collected on this website is used for the following purposes:

  • Site analytics: Understanding how visitors interact with content, to improve the quality of information provided. Legal basis: legitimate interest.
  • Affiliate tracking: Recording clicks on casino referral links so that commercial arrangements between this site and partner operators can be measured. Legal basis: legitimate interest.
  • Communication: Responding to user enquiries submitted via contact forms. Legal basis: consent or contract performance, depending on the nature of the request.

This website does not use personal data for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on users.

Cookies

This website uses the following cookie categories:

  • Strictly necessary: Required for the site to function. Cannot be disabled.
  • Analytics: Used to measure traffic and user behaviour in aggregate (for example, via Google Analytics). These cookies collect data in anonymised or pseudonymised form.

Users may manage or withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time through the cookie preference centre accessible via the site footer. Disabling analytics or tracking cookies does not affect the ability to read content on this site.

Third-Party Sharing

This website shares data with third parties only in the following circumstances:

  • Analytics providers: Aggregated, pseudonymised usage data is shared with analytics platforms (such as Google Analytics) subject to their own privacy terms.
  • Affiliate networks and casino operators: Click identifiers are passed to partner casinos when a user follows a referral link. Once the user lands on a casino site, that operator's own privacy policy governs data handling.
  • Legal obligation: Data may be disclosed to competent authorities when required by applicable law.

This website does not sell personal data to third parties.

Data Retention

Server log data is retained for a maximum of 12 months. Analytics data is retained in aggregated form in accordance with the terms of the relevant analytics provider. Contact form submissions are deleted within 24 months of the last interaction, or earlier upon request.
