We are committed to protecting your privacy in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Please note that our content is intended for users aged 18 and over. Gambling can be addictive — please gamble responsibly.

Information We Collect

We may collect and process the following categories of information:

• Contact details — such as your name and email address, where you voluntarily provide them (e.g. via a contact form or newsletter signup).
• Technical data — including your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system and time zone settings.
• Usage data — such as pages visited, links clicked, time spent on the Site, referral sources and other browsing behaviour.
• Cookie data — information collected through cookies and similar tracking technologies, as described in our Cookie Policy section below.

How We Use Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• Analytics — to monitor and analyse how visitors use the Site so we can understand performance and audience trends.
• Affiliate tracking — to attribute clicks and referrals to third-party casino operators, which allows us to earn affiliate commissions at no additional cost to you.
• Site improvement — to maintain, optimise and personalise the content and functionality of the Site.
• Communication — to respond to enquiries you submit to us.
• Legal compliance — to comply with applicable laws, regulations and lawful requests.

We rely on legitimate interests (analytics, affiliate tracking and site improvement) and, where required, your consent (e.g. for non-essential cookies) as our lawful bases for processing.

Cookie Policy

We use cookies and similar technologies on the Site. These include:

• Strictly necessary cookies — required for the basic operation of the Site.
• Analytics cookies — help us measure traffic and usage patterns (e.g. Google Analytics).
• Affiliate/tracking cookies — record when you click an outbound link to a partner casino so referrals can be attributed.
• Preference cookies — remember your settings and choices.

Opt-out options: You can manage or disable cookies at any time through your browser settings, or via our cookie consent banner where available. You may also opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Site.

Third-Party Links

The Site contains links to third-party websites, including online casinos and other affiliate partners. When you click these links, you will leave our Site and be subject to the privacy policies and practices of those third parties.

We do not control, and are not responsible for, the content, security or privacy practices of any third-party website. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of every website you visit before providing any personal data.
