1. Information We Collect
Information you provide directly
We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide, for example when you:
- Subscribe to a newsletter or email list (name, email address);
- Submit a contact form, comment, or review (name, email, message content);
- Participate in a survey, promotion, or contest;
- Otherwise communicate with us.
Information collected automatically
When you visit the Site, certain information is collected automatically through cookies and similar technologies, including:
- IP address and approximate location (country/region);
- Browser type, device type, operating system, and screen settings;
- Pages viewed, links clicked, referring URL, and time spent on the Site;
- Date and time of access and other diagnostic data;
- Affiliate referral and click identifiers (see Section 2).
2. Affiliate Links & Tracking
Our Site contains affiliate links to third-party gambling operators and affiliate networks. When you click an affiliate link and visit an operator’s site, that operator or network may place a cookie or other identifier that records the referral came from us. If you subsequently register or take a qualifying action with that operator, we may earn a commission or other compensation.
This tracking is performed by the operator or affiliate network, not by us, and is governed by their own privacy policies. We may receive aggregated or limited reporting data about referrals (for example, the number of sign-ups attributed to us), but we do not receive your gambling account credentials, deposit amounts, or betting activity unless an operator chooses to share limited, typically anonymized, reporting data.
The presence of an affiliate link does not change the price or terms you receive from the operator. Our reviews and rankings may be influenced by commercial relationships; please see our [Advertising Disclosure / Terms] page for more detail.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Operate, maintain, and improve the Site and its content;
- Respond to your inquiries and provide customer support;
- Send newsletters, updates, or marketing communications where you have opted in;
- Measure the performance of our content, affiliate links, and advertising;
- Personalize content and understand how visitors use the Site;
- Detect, prevent, and address technical issues, fraud, or abuse;
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.
4. Cookies & Similar Technologies
We use cookies, web beacons, pixels, and similar technologies to operate the Site and understand usage. These may include:
- Strictly necessary cookies required for the Site to function;
- Analytics cookies (for example, Google Analytics) that help us understand traffic and behavior;
- Advertising and affiliate cookies that measure referrals and ad performance;
- Preference cookies that remember your settings.
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings and, where applicable, through our cookie consent banner. Disabling some cookies may affect how the Site functions. For more information, see our [Cookie Policy].
5. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information for money. We may share information with:
- Service providers who support our operations (hosting, analytics, email delivery, security), under contractual confidentiality obligations;
- Affiliate networks and gambling operators, in the form of referral and click data, as described in Section 2;
- Advertising partners, which may receive online identifiers for measurement and targeting;
- Legal and regulatory authorities, where required by law, court order, or to protect our rights, users, or the public;
- A successor entity in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
Note: Under certain privacy laws (such as the CCPA), the sharing of online identifiers for cross-context advertising may be considered a “sale” or “share.” See Section 8 for how to exercise opt-out rights.
6. Third-Party Sites & Operators
The Site links to gambling operators and other third-party websites that we do not own or control. Once you leave our Site, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, terms, or licensing of any third-party operator. We encourage you to review the privacy policy and terms of any operator before registering, depositing funds, or gambling.
7. Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR)
If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we process your personal data under one or more of the following legal bases:
- Consent — for example, for marketing emails and non-essential cookies;
- Legitimate interests — to operate, secure, and improve the Site and measure our affiliate activity, balanced against your rights;
- Legal obligation — where we must process data to comply with applicable law.
Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting prior processing.
8. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you;
- Request correction of inaccurate information;
- Request deletion of your information;
- Object to or restrict certain processing;
- Request portability of your data;
- Withdraw consent at any time;
- Opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information and of targeted advertising (California and certain other U.S. states);
- Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in Section 14. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it. Retention periods vary by data type and purpose.
10. Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
11. International Data Transfers
Your information may be processed and stored in countries other than your own, including [country/region], where data protection laws may differ. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) for international transfers.
12. Age Restriction & Children’s Privacy
The Site is intended exclusively for adults who are of legal gambling age in their jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18 (or the higher applicable legal gambling age).

13. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Material changes may be communicated through a notice on the Site. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
