Cookie policy

This cookie policy explains what cookies are, how this website uses them, what data they collect, who has access to that data and how you can control cookie settings on your device. It applies to all visitors to this site regardless of location, with specific reference to the requirements of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles as they apply to data collected through cookies.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers personal information handling more broadly. This policy was last updated in 2025 and is reviewed periodically to reflect changes in our cookie usage or applicable law.

What cookies are

A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device — computer, smartphone or tablet — when you visit it. The file is stored in your browser and contains a small amount of data, typically an identifier that allows the website or a third party to recognise your device on subsequent visits or to track behaviour across a session.

Cookies are not programs. They cannot execute code, carry viruses or access other files on your device. They are passive data files that serve specific functions defined by the website or third-party service that sets them.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting — called first-party cookies — or by third-party services embedded in the site, such as analytics platforms or advertising networks — called third-party cookies. Both types may be present on this site, as described below.

Cookies can also be classified by how long they persist on your device. Session cookies exist only for the duration of your browser session and are deleted when you close the browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device after the browser is closed, for a duration defined in the cookie’s expiry setting, until you manually delete them or until they expire.

How this site uses cookies

This site uses cookies for four distinct purposes: essential site functionality, analytics and performance measurement, affiliate tracking, and user preference storage. Each category is described in detail below, including the specific cookies or services involved where relevant.

Essential cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the basic operation of this site. Without them, core functionality — such as page navigation, secure connections and session management — would not work correctly. These cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes and cannot be disabled without breaking site functionality.

Essential cookies on this site include cookies that maintain your session state as you navigate between pages, cookies that support secure HTTPS connections, and cookies that store temporary technical data required for the site to render correctly on your device.

Under the Australian Privacy Principles, essential cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation of the site do not require separate consent because they serve the legitimate technical function of delivering the service you have requested by visiting the site.

Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use this site. This data is used to understand which content is most useful to readers, how visitors navigate between pages, which devices and browsers are most common among our audience, and where technical performance issues occur. This information informs editorial and technical decisions to improve the site.

This site uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect data including pages visited, time on site, geographic location derived from IP address, device type, browser type and referring source. This data is transmitted to Google servers, which may be located outside Australia.

Google Analytics data is collected in aggregate form and is not used to identify individual visitors for marketing purposes. We have configured Google Analytics with IP anonymisation enabled, which means the last portion of each visitor’s IP address is masked before transmission to Google’s servers, reducing the degree to which the collected data constitutes personal information.

Google’s handling of data collected through Google Analytics is governed by Google’s Privacy Policy, available at policies.google.com/privacy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

The primary Google Analytics cookies used on this site are as follows.

Cookie name Purpose Duration Type
_ga Distinguishes unique users by assigning a randomly generated number as a client identifier 2 years Persistent, first-party
_ga_[ID] Stores and updates a unique value for each page visited 2 years Persistent, first-party
_gid Distinguishes users, stores and updates a unique value for each page visited 24 hours Persistent, first-party
_gat Used to throttle request rate to Google Analytics servers 1 minute Session, first-party

Google may update the specific cookies used by Google Analytics over time. For the current list of Google Analytics cookies and their functions, refer to Google’s developer documentation at developers.google.com/analytics.

Affiliate tracking cookies

When you click an outbound link to a casino operator on this site, affiliate tracking technology places a cookie on your device. This cookie records that the referral originated from this site and is used to attribute any subsequent account registration and qualifying deposit to this site for commission purposes.

Affiliate tracking cookies are set by the casino operator’s affiliate programme or by a third-party affiliate network acting on their behalf — not directly by this site. The specific cookies placed, their duration and the data they contain are determined by the operator or affiliate network, not by us.

Typical affiliate cookies remain on your device for 30 to 90 days. If you click an affiliate link but do not register an account immediately, the cookie allows the referral to be attributed to this site if you register within that window. If you clear your cookies between clicking the link and registering, the attribution will not be recorded and no commission will be paid — this does not affect your ability to register or the terms you receive.

The personal information you provide to a casino operator when registering an account is collected by that operator under their own privacy policy, not by this site. We receive only aggregate performance data — click counts, registration counts and deposit counts — and do not receive your personal account details from casino operators.

Where we have information about the specific affiliate cookies set by individual operators reviewed on this site, that information is listed below. This list is not exhaustive as operators may update their tracking technology without notice.

Source Purpose Typical duration Governed by
Casino operator affiliate programmes Referral attribution and commission tracking 30–90 days Operator’s privacy policy
Third-party affiliate networks Referral attribution, reporting and payment processing 30–90 days Affiliate network’s privacy policy

Preference cookies

Preference cookies store settings and choices you make while using the site so that they are remembered on subsequent visits. On this site, preference cookies may store your cookie consent choices, language or display preferences where applicable, and any other personalisation settings available on the site.

Preference cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes. They exist to improve the consistency of your experience across sessions without requiring you to reselect the same settings each time you visit.

Third-party cookies from embedded content

This site may embed content from third-party services, including video players, social media sharing buttons or other external tools. When third-party content is embedded, the third-party service may set its own cookies on your device independent of the cookies set by this site. These cookies are governed entirely by the third party’s own privacy and cookie policies.

We take reasonable steps to limit the use of third-party embeds that introduce additional cookies beyond those listed in this policy. Where third-party embeds are used, we identify the relevant service and link to its privacy policy where possible.

Cookies and personal information under Australian law

Under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles, information collected through cookies may constitute personal information if it can be used to identify an individual, either on its own or in combination with other information. IP addresses, device identifiers and behavioural data collected through analytics cookies can, in some circumstances, constitute personal information under this definition.

Where cookie-collected data constitutes personal information, we handle it in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles. This includes using it only for the purposes described in this policy, taking reasonable steps to protect it from unauthorised access, and not disclosing it to third parties beyond what is described in our Privacy Policy.

The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) has published guidance on the application of the Privacy Act to online tracking and cookies. If you wish to understand your rights in relation to personal information collected through cookies, the OAIC’s website at oaic.gov.au provides relevant guidance and complaint lodgement procedures.

How to manage and control cookies

You have several options for managing cookies on your device. The most direct method is through your browser’s settings, which allow you to view existing cookies, block cookies from specific sites or all sites, and delete cookies that have already been placed.

Managing cookies through your browser

Instructions for managing cookies vary between browsers. The links below provide guidance for the most commonly used browsers among Australian internet users.

  • Google Chrome: support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647
  • Safari (Mac and iPhone): support.apple.com/en-au/guide/safari/sfri11471
  • Mozilla Firefox: support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enable-and-disable-cookies-website-preferences
  • Microsoft Edge: support.microsoft.com/en-au/microsoft-edge/delete-cookies-in-microsoft-edge
  • Opera: help.opera.com/en/latest/web-preferences/#cookies

Blocking all cookies will affect the functionality of this site and many other sites you visit. Essential cookies in particular are required for basic site operation. We recommend blocking only non-essential cookies if you want to retain core site functionality while limiting tracking.

Opting out of Google Analytics

To opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites — not just this site — install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This add-on works with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge.

Managing affiliate cookies

Affiliate tracking cookies can be managed through your browser’s cookie settings. Deleting cookies after clicking an affiliate link but before registering at a casino will break the tracking chain, meaning no commission will be attributed to this site. This does not affect your ability to register or use the casino platform in any way.

Do Not Track

Some browsers support a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal that requests that websites not track your browsing activity. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, and not all third-party services respect them. This site does not currently alter its cookie behaviour in response to DNT signals, as the absence of an agreed standard means compliance would be inconsistent across the third-party services we use.

Changes to this policy

We may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, the third-party services we integrate or applicable legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of this site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

Contact

If you have questions about this cookie policy or about how specific cookies on this site work, contact us through the details on our Contact page. We aim to respond to all enquiries within two Australian business days.

For concerns about how cookie-collected data is handled as personal information under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), you may also contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au or by calling 1300 363 992.
