This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, store, disclose and protect personal information when you visit and use this website. It applies to all users of this site regardless of location, with specific provisions for Australian residents under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) contained in Schedule 1 of that Act.
By using this site, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy. If you do not agree with any part of it, you should discontinue use of the site. This policy does not apply to third-party websites linked from this site — including casino operators — which operate under their own privacy frameworks.
This policy was last updated in 2025. We review and update it periodically to reflect changes in our data practices, applicable law or regulatory guidance. The current version is always available on this page.
Who we are
This website is an independent online casino review and information platform operated for Australian readers. We publish editorial content about online gambling platforms, bonuses, payment methods and related topics. We are an information publisher and affiliate marketing operator — we are not a casino operator, financial institution or gambling service provider.
References to “we,” “us” or “our” in this policy refer to the operator of this website. Contact details for privacy-related enquiries are listed at the end of this policy.
What personal information we collect
We collect personal information in two ways: information you provide directly and information collected automatically through your use of the site.
Information you provide directly
We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when interacting with this site. This includes:
- Name and email address when you submit a contact form or subscribe to email communications.
- Any additional information you choose to include in a message or enquiry submitted through the site.
- Feedback or correspondence you send to our editorial team.
We do not require you to create an account or register to access the content on this site. The majority of site content is accessible without providing any personal information.
Information collected automatically
When you visit this site, certain technical information is collected automatically through cookies, web analytics tools and server logs. This includes:
- IP address and approximate geographic location derived from that address.
- Browser type, version and operating system.
- Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet).
- Pages visited, time spent on each page and navigation path through the site.
- Referring URL — the address of the page you came from before arriving at this site.
- Search terms used to find this site through search engines.
- Clicks on outbound links, including affiliate links to casino operators.
- Date and time of visits.
This automatically collected data is primarily used in aggregate form for site performance analysis and content improvement. Where it constitutes personal information under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), it is handled in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles.
How we use your personal information
We use the personal information we collect for the following purposes:
Operating and improving the site
Automatically collected technical data is used to understand how visitors use this site, which content is most useful, where navigation problems occur and how the site performs across different devices and connection types. This analysis informs editorial decisions and technical improvements. It is used in aggregate and is not used to profile individual users for marketing purposes.
Responding to enquiries
When you contact us through the site’s contact form or by email, we use the personal information you provide to respond to your enquiry. We retain correspondence for a reasonable period to maintain a record of the interaction and to follow up if necessary.
Email communications
If you subscribe to email updates, we use your email address to send the communications you requested. Each email includes an unsubscribe link. We do not send marketing emails to users who have not explicitly opted in, and we do not sell or rent email subscriber lists to third parties.
Affiliate tracking
This site participates in affiliate marketing programmes. When you click an outbound link to a casino operator, affiliate tracking technology records that click for commission attribution purposes. This may involve the placement of cookies on your device by the affiliate network or casino operator. We receive aggregated performance data (number of clicks, sign-ups and conversions) but do not receive your personal account details from casino operators. The personal information you provide to a casino operator when registering an account is governed by that operator’s own privacy policy.
Legal obligations and site security
We may use or retain personal information where required to comply with applicable Australian law, respond to lawful requests from regulatory authorities, or investigate and address suspected fraud, security incidents or breaches of our terms and conditions.
This site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website when you visit it. Cookies allow the site to remember your preferences and behaviour across sessions and enable analytics and affiliate tracking functionality.
We use the following categories of cookies on this site:
- Essential cookies: Required for basic site functionality. These cannot be disabled without breaking core site features.
- Analytics cookies: Used to collect information about how visitors use the site. We use Google Analytics for this purpose. Data is collected in anonymised or aggregated form where possible.
- Affiliate cookies: Placed when you click an outbound affiliate link. These cookies record the referral for commission attribution purposes and are governed by the affiliate network’s cookie policy.
- Preference cookies: Store your site preferences such as language or display settings where applicable.
You can control cookie settings through your browser. Most browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies through the privacy or settings menu. Blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of this site and other sites you visit. Instructions for managing cookies are available through your browser’s help documentation.
For more detailed information about the cookies this site uses, see our Cookie Policy page.
Third-party services and data sharing
We use a limited number of third-party services to operate this site. Each third-party service we use has its own privacy policy and data handling practices. We do not sell personal information to third parties.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to collect aggregated data about site traffic and user behaviour. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this data and transmits it to Google servers, which may be located outside Australia. Google’s data processing practices are governed by Google’s Privacy Policy and the Google Analytics Terms of Service. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Affiliate networks
We participate in affiliate programmes operated by online casino operators and affiliate networks. When you click an affiliate link, tracking technology operated by the affiliate network records the referral. These networks operate under their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any casino operator before creating an account or providing personal information.
Email service providers
If you subscribe to email communications, your email address is stored and managed through a third-party email service provider. That provider processes your data on our behalf under a data processing arrangement and does not use your information for its own marketing purposes.
Hosting and infrastructure
This site is hosted on third-party server infrastructure. Server logs and technical data generated by your visit may be stored on servers located outside Australia. Where personal information is transferred outside Australia, we take reasonable steps to ensure it receives equivalent protection to that required under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
Australian Privacy Principles
As an operator that collects and handles personal information about Australian residents, we are subject to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the thirteen Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). Our obligations under the APPs include the following.
APP 1 — Open and transparent management of personal information
We maintain this privacy policy to be open and transparent about our personal information handling practices. This policy is freely available on our website at all times.
APP 3 — Collection of solicited personal information
We collect personal information only where it is reasonably necessary for our functions or activities. We collect personal information by lawful and fair means and, where reasonable, directly from the individual concerned.
APP 5 — Notification of collection
Where we collect personal information directly from an individual, we take reasonable steps to notify that individual of the matters required under APP 5, including the purposes of collection and how the information will be used and disclosed.
APP 6 — Use or disclosure of personal information
We use and disclose personal information only for the primary purpose for which it was collected, or for a secondary purpose where the individual would reasonably expect such use, or where the individual has consented, or where required or authorised by law.
APP 7 — Direct marketing
We do not use personal information for direct marketing without your consent. If you have subscribed to email communications, you may opt out at any time using the unsubscribe link in any email we send.
APP 8 — Cross-border disclosure
Where we disclose personal information to overseas recipients — including third-party service providers operating outside Australia — we take reasonable steps to ensure that overseas recipients handle the information in a manner consistent with the APPs.
APP 11 — Security of personal information
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. When personal information is no longer needed for any purpose for which it may be used or disclosed, we take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify it.
APP 12 — Access to personal information
You have the right to request access to personal information we hold about you. Requests should be made in writing to the contact details at the end of this policy. We will respond within a reasonable period, generally within 30 days.
APP 13 — Correction of personal information
If you believe that personal information we hold about you is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading, you may request a correction. We will take reasonable steps to correct the information or, if we disagree with the correction, to associate a statement with the record noting that correction was requested.
Data retention
We retain personal information for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by law. Specifically:
- Contact form submissions and correspondence are retained for up to three years from the date of the interaction.
- Email subscriber information is retained until you unsubscribe, after which it is removed from active mailing lists within 30 days.
- Analytics data collected through Google Analytics is retained according to Google’s standard data retention settings, which can be configured at the property level.
- Server log data is typically retained for up to 90 days before being overwritten or deleted.
Children’s privacy
This site is intended for adults aged 18 years and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 18 years of age. Online gambling is restricted to adults under Australian law and under the terms of the casino operators reviewed on this site. If you are under 18, you should not use this site or provide any personal information through it.
If we become aware that personal information has been collected from a person under 18 years of age, we will take steps to delete that information as soon as practicable.
Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information held by us from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. These measures include secure server infrastructure, encrypted data transmission where applicable, and access controls limiting who within our organisation can access personal data.
No method of data transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we take reasonable precautions, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to or stored by our site. If you believe your personal information has been compromised through your use of this site, contact us immediately using the details below.
Links to third-party sites
This site contains links to third-party websites, including online casino operators. These links are provided for informational and commercial purposes. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party sites. Once you leave this site by clicking a link, you are subject to the privacy policy of the destination site. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any site before providing personal information.
