3. Information We Collect

We collect and process various categories of personal data when you use our Website. The specific data we collect depends on how you interact with us.

3.1 Data Collected Automatically

When you visit our Website, certain data is automatically collected by our servers and third-party analytics tools. This includes:

• IP address: Your internet protocol address, which may be used to determine your approximate geographic location (country/region level).
• Browser information: The type and version of the web browser you are using, browser language settings, and browser capabilities.
• Device information: The type of device you are using (desktop, mobile, tablet), operating system, screen resolution, and device identifiers where applicable.
• Page visits and navigation data: The pages you visit on our Website, the order in which you visit them, the time you spend on each page, and the links you click.
• Referral data: The website or search engine that referred you to our Website (e.g., Google, Bing, a referring website).
• Search queries: Any search terms entered into our Website’s internal search function, where applicable.
• Date and time stamps: The dates and times at which you access the Website.

3.2 Data You Provide Directly

We collect personal data that you voluntarily provide to us when:

• Using the contact form: When you complete and submit the contact form on our Contact page, we collect your name, email address, the subject you have selected, and the content of your message. If you tick the consent checkbox, we also record your consent to data processing.
• Subscribing to any newsletter or update service: If we offer such a service, we collect your email address and any preferences you indicate.
• Submitting feedback or suggestions: Any information you voluntarily include in communications you send to us.

3.3 Cookie Data

Our Website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect certain data about your browsing behaviour. This is explained in full in our Cookie Policy. Cookies may collect data such as session identifiers, preference settings, and analytics data.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the personal data we collect for the following purposes:

4.1 Operating and Improving the Website

We use automatically collected browsing data and analytics information to understand how visitors use the Website, which pages are most popular, where users are coming from, and where improvements could be made. This helps us optimise the Website’s content, navigation, and performance for the benefit of all users.

4.2 Responding to Enquiries

When you submit a contact form, we use the information you provide — including your name, email address, and message — solely for the purpose of responding to your enquiry. We will retain this information for as long as necessary to resolve your enquiry and for a reasonable period thereafter in case of follow-up questions.

4.3 Security and Fraud Prevention

We may use IP addresses and other technical data to detect, prevent, and investigate potential security threats, fraudulent activity, abuse of our Website, or violations of our Terms and Conditions.

4.4 Analytics and Performance Measurement

We use Google Analytics and similar tools to aggregate and analyse data about Website traffic and user behaviour. This data is used in anonymised or pseudonymised form and helps us understand the effectiveness of our content and any commercial partnerships.

4.5 Affiliate Tracking

When you click on an affiliate link to a third-party casino or gambling platform from our Website, certain tracking technologies (including cookies and URL parameters) may record that click and any subsequent conversion actions (such as account registration or deposit) on the third-party platform. This data is used to calculate any affiliate commission we may be owed. The data involved in this tracking is primarily technical identifiers rather than personally identifiable information.

4.6 Legal Compliance

We may process your personal data where necessary to comply with our legal obligations, including responding to lawful requests from regulatory authorities or law enforcement agencies, or to defend or enforce our legal rights.

5. Legal Basis for Processing

Under UK GDPR, we are required to identify a lawful basis for each purpose for which we process personal data. The legal bases we rely on are as follows:

• Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR): We process browsing data, analytics data, and security-related data on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a safe, functional, and commercially viable website. We have carried out a legitimate interests assessment and are satisfied that our interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms, given the limited and non-sensitive nature of the data involved.
• Consent (Article 6(1)(a) UK GDPR): Where we use non-essential cookies (such as analytics cookies), we rely on your consent, which you provide via our cookie consent mechanism. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your cookie settings. For marketing communications (if applicable), we rely on your explicit consent at the point of subscription.
• Contractual necessity (Article 6(1)(b) UK GDPR): Where you enter into a commercial arrangement with us (for example, as an affiliate partner), we process personal data as necessary to fulfil that contract.
• Legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c) UK GDPR): Where we are required to retain or process data to comply with a legal obligation, such as tax law, anti-money laundering requirements, or responding to lawful regulatory demands.
• Vital interests and public tasks: These bases are unlikely to apply to our processing but are noted for completeness.

6. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies including web beacons, pixels, and local storage to collect information about your use of the Website. Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website.

We use the following categories of cookies:

• Strictly necessary cookies: Required for the Website to function correctly. These cannot be disabled.
• Performance and analytics cookies: Collect information about how visitors use the Website (e.g., Google Analytics). Require your consent.
• Functionality cookies: Remember your preferences and settings. Require your consent.
• Targeting and advertising cookies: Used for affiliate tracking and, where applicable, advertising purposes. Require your consent.

For a full list of the specific cookies we use, their purposes, providers, and durations, please refer to our Cookie Policy. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through your browser settings or our cookie consent tool.

7. Third-Party Services

We use a number of third-party services that may collect or process personal data in connection with the Website. These include:

7.1 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect aggregated and anonymised data about Website traffic and user behaviour. The data collected by Google Analytics is transmitted to and stored on Google’s servers, which may be located in the United States or other countries outside the UK.

We have enabled IP anonymisation in Google Analytics, meaning that your IP address is truncated before transmission and is not retained by Google in its full form. We do not use Google Analytics to collect personally identifiable information.

Google’s use of data collected via Google Analytics is governed by the Google Privacy Policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

7.2 Cloudflare

Our Website is served through Cloudflare, a content delivery network and security service provided by Cloudflare, Inc. Cloudflare may collect technical data including IP addresses and request metadata as part of its security, performance optimisation, and DDoS mitigation services. This data is processed by Cloudflare in accordance with its own Privacy Policy. Cloudflare acts as a data processor on our behalf under a Data Processing Agreement.

7.3 Affiliate Tracking Networks

We use affiliate tracking technology to record clicks on our affiliate links and attribute any resulting conversions to our Website. This may involve third-party affiliate tracking software that places cookies or pixels when you click an affiliate link. These tracking tools collect limited technical data (such as click timestamps, referring page, and device type) rather than personally identifiable information. The specific affiliate programmes we participate in have their own privacy policies which govern their data practices.

7.4 Hosting Infrastructure

Our Website is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Technical logs generated by hosting infrastructure may contain IP addresses and other access data. This data is retained for a limited period for security and operational purposes.

8. Affiliate Links & Third-Party Casinos

Our Website contains affiliate links to third-party online casino platforms and gambling operators. When you click on these links and visit a third-party platform, you are leaving our Website and entering a website or platform that is operated independently of us.

We have no control over the personal data practices of third-party casino operators. Each third-party platform has its own privacy policy, which governs how it collects, uses, and shares your personal data — including data collected during account registration, identity verification (KYC), payment processing, and gambling activity.

We strongly encourage you to read the privacy policy of any casino or gambling platform before registering an account or providing personal information. By clicking on an affiliate link and proceeding to a third-party platform, you are agreeing to that platform’s terms and privacy practices, not ours.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices or data security of any third-party website linked to from our Website. Our liability extends only to the data we ourselves collect and process in connection with this Website.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. The following retention periods apply:

• Contact form submissions: We retain the contents of contact form submissions, including your name, email address, and message, for up to 24 months from the date of your last communication with us. This allows us to maintain a record of previous correspondence in case of follow-up enquiries or disputes.
• Analytics data: Aggregated analytics data collected via Google Analytics is retained in accordance with Google’s standard data retention settings (typically 14 months for user-level and event data). We may retain anonymised aggregate statistics indefinitely for internal reporting purposes.
• Server and access logs: Technical access logs generated by our hosting infrastructure and Cloudflare are retained for a limited period (typically 30 to 90 days) for security and operational purposes.
• Cookie consent records: Records of your cookie consent preferences are retained for as long as necessary to demonstrate compliance, or until you withdraw your consent.
• Legal and compliance records: Where we are required to retain data to comply with a legal obligation, we will retain it for the period specified by the applicable law.

When the retention period has expired, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised in a manner that prevents its recovery.

10. Your Rights Under UK GDPR

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data that we hold:

10.1 Right of Access (Subject Access Request)

You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, along with supplementary information about how and why we use it. We will respond to Subject Access Requests within one calendar month of receipt.

10.2 Right to Rectification

You have the right to request that we correct any personal data we hold about you that is inaccurate or incomplete. We will respond to rectification requests within one calendar month.

10.3 Right to Erasure (“Right to Be Forgotten”)

In certain circumstances, you have the right to request that we delete the personal data we hold about you. This right applies where:

• The personal data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected;
• You withdraw your consent and there is no other legal basis for processing;
• You object to processing based on legitimate interests and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for continued processing;
• The personal data has been unlawfully processed;
• The personal data must be erased to comply with a legal obligation.

Please note that this right is not absolute and may not apply where processing is necessary for legal compliance or the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.

10.4 Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, for example while a rectification request is being assessed, or pending the outcome of an objection you have raised.

10.5 Right to Data Portability

Where processing is based on your consent or on the performance of a contract, and is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive a copy of your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit that data to another data controller where technically feasible.

10.6 Right to Object

You have the right to object to processing of your personal data that is based on our legitimate interests. Where you object, we will cease processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.

You have an unconditional right to object to processing for direct marketing purposes. If you object, we will immediately cease processing your data for that purpose.

10.7 Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing that produces legal or similarly significant effects concerning you. We do not currently engage in any such automated decision-making.

10.8 Right to Withdraw Consent

Where processing is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to the withdrawal.

10.9 Right to Lodge a Complaint

If you believe we have not handled your personal data in accordance with applicable data protection law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK’s supervisory authority, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO):

• Website: ico.org.uk
• Helpline: 0303 123 1113

We would, however, appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns before you contact the ICO, and encourage you to contact us directly in the first instance.

11. How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of the rights listed above, please contact us by email at [email protected] with the subject line “Data Privacy Request”. Please clearly state:

• Your full name and any email address you have used to contact us previously;
• The specific right you wish to exercise;
• Sufficient detail to allow us to identify and locate the personal data in question.

We may need to verify your identity before processing your request to ensure that we do not disclose or delete another person’s data. We will acknowledge your request within 72 hours and provide a full response within one calendar month. In exceptional cases involving complex or numerous requests, we may extend this period by a further two months, in which case we will notify you of the extension within the initial one-month period.

There is generally no charge for exercising your rights. However, where requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive (particularly where they are repetitive), we reserve the right to charge a reasonable administrative fee or to refuse to comply with the request, in accordance with UK GDPR Article 12(5).

12. Children’s Privacy

Our Website is not directed at children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 18 years of age. The content of this Website relates to online gambling, which is only legal for adults in most jurisdictions and requires users to be at least 18 years old.

If you are under 18, you must not use this Website, provide any personal information to us, or register for any services we may offer. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a person under 18, we will take immediate steps to delete that information from our records.

If you believe we have collected personal data relating to a child under 18, please contact us immediately at [email protected].

13. International Data Transfers

Some of the third-party services we use may transfer personal data outside the United Kingdom. In particular, Google Analytics involves the transfer of data to Google’s servers in the United States. Following the UK’s exit from the European Union, transfers from the UK to countries that have not received an adequacy decision from the UK Secretary of State must be protected by appropriate safeguards.

Where personal data is transferred outside the UK, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place as required by UK GDPR Article 46. These safeguards include:

• For transfers to the United States: Google LLC participates in the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and maintains other appropriate contractual and technical safeguards;
• For transfers to Cloudflare in the United States: Cloudflare maintains Standard Contractual Clauses and other appropriate safeguards under its Data Processing Agreement;
• UK International Data Transfer Agreements (IDTAs) or Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as appropriate for other third-party transfers.

You may request further information about the safeguards in place for international transfers by contacting us using the details in Section 16.

14. Security Measures

We take the security of your personal data seriously and have implemented a range of technical and organisational measures to protect it against unauthorised access, loss, destruction, or alteration. These measures include:

• SSL/TLS encryption: All data transmitted between your browser and our Website is encrypted using industry-standard SSL/TLS protocols.
• HTTPS: Our Website is served exclusively over HTTPS, ensuring that all communications are encrypted in transit.
• Cloudflare security: Our Website is protected by Cloudflare’s DDoS mitigation, Web Application Firewall (WAF), and other security services.
• Access controls: Access to personal data held by us is restricted to authorised personnel who have a legitimate need to access it for the purposes described in this policy.
• Data minimisation: We collect only the personal data that is necessary for the purposes described in this policy and do not retain it beyond the periods specified in Section 9.
• Regular security reviews: We periodically review our security measures to ensure they remain appropriate and effective.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we take all reasonable precautions to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you have reason to believe that your personal data has been compromised, please contact us immediately.

15. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal requirements, or the services we use. When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. Where changes are material, we will take reasonable steps to draw them to your attention, which may include a prominent notice on the Website.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your personal data. Your continued use of the Website after the publication of an updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the changes.
