Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains what data this website collects from visitors, how that data is used, which third parties receive it, and how Australian residents can exercise their rights under the Privacy Act 1988. This site is an independent review publication — it does not process gambling deposits, hold player funds, or operate casino accounts.

Data We Collect

This website collects data in two ways: automatically through server infrastructure and analytics tools, and voluntarily through any contact form or email you initiate. We do not require account registration to read content on this site.

Automatically collected data

  • Server logs — your IP address, the URL you requested, the date and time of the request, your browser's user-agent string, and the HTTP status code returned. These logs are standard infrastructure records kept by web hosting providers.
  • Analytics data — page views, session duration, scroll depth, referral source, and country of visit. This data is collected via a third-party analytics tool (see the Third-Party Tools section below). It is associated with a pseudonymous session identifier, not your name.
  • Outbound click tracking — when you click a tracked affiliate link to a casino, a click event is logged. This log includes a timestamp, the destination URL, and a session identifier. It does not include your name, email address, or payment details — those are collected by the casino you visit, under their own privacy policy.
  • Cookie identifiers — first-party and third-party cookies are set on your device as described in the Cookies section below.

Voluntarily provided data

  • Contact enquiries — if you email us or use a contact form, we collect your email address and the content of your message. This data is used only to respond to your enquiry.
  • Correction submissions — if you submit a factual correction about a review, we collect your contact details and the information you provide. Verified corrections are published with a note; your contact details are not published.

How We Use Your Data

We use the data described above for the following purposes:

  • Site operation and security — server logs allow us to identify and block abusive traffic, diagnose errors, and monitor uptime.
  • Content improvement — aggregated analytics data (which pages are read, how long, from which countries) guides editorial decisions about which content to expand or update.
  • Affiliate attribution — outbound click tracking allows us to report to casino affiliate programs how many visitors we referred. This is how the site is funded. The data reported to affiliate programs is aggregated click counts, not individual visitor records.
  • Responding to enquiries — contact form data is used solely to reply to the person who submitted it.

We do not use your data for behavioural advertising, we do not sell personal data to third parties, and we do not build individual profiles for marketing purposes.

Third-Party Tools and Data Sharing

Running a website involves third-party services. The following categories of third parties may receive a subset of the data described above:

CategoryWhat data they receivePurpose
Web analyticsPseudonymous session data, page views, referral source, countryTraffic measurement and content performance
Content delivery network (CDN)IP address, requested URL, user-agentFast page load via edge caching; DDoS protection
Affiliate tracking platformsClick event, timestamp, session ID, destination URLAttributing referred registrations to this site for commission purposes
Email / hosting providerEmail address and message content when you contact usDelivering and storing inbound correspondence

Each third party operates under its own privacy policy and data processing terms. We select providers that offer data processing agreements consistent with Australian privacy standards. We do not share data with casino operators beyond the anonymised click attribution described above.

Cookies and Tracking

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. This site uses the following categories of cookies:

  • Strictly necessary cookies — required for the site to function. These include session cookies that remember your language preference and cookie-consent status. These cannot be disabled without breaking site functionality.
  • Analytics cookies — set by the analytics tool to distinguish unique sessions and track page flow. These expire after 13 months. You can opt out by enabling "Do Not Track" in your browser, using the browser's cookie controls, or using a browser extension that blocks analytics scripts.
  • Affiliate tracking cookies — set when you click a tracked outbound link. These cookies allow the destination casino to attribute your registration back to this site. The cookie is set on your device and read by the casino's affiliate platform, not by us directly. Affiliate cookies typically expire after 30–90 days depending on the program.

You can delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Disabling analytics cookies does not affect your ability to read content on this site. Disabling affiliate tracking cookies means that if you register at a casino after clicking a link from this site, we will not receive attribution credit — this has no effect on your casino experience.

Your Rights Under Australian Privacy Law

Australian residents have rights under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). In relation to the data this site holds about you, those rights include:

  • Access — you may request a copy of any personal information we hold about you. Because this site does not require account registration, the personal information we hold about most visitors is limited to server logs (IP address) and any correspondence you have sent us.
  • Correction — if personal information we hold about you is inaccurate, you may request that it be corrected.
  • Deletion — you may request that we delete personal information we hold about you, subject to any legal obligations to retain records (for example, financial records relating to affiliate commission payments).
  • Complaint — if you believe we have mishandled your personal information, you may complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in the section below. We will respond within 30 days as required by the Privacy Act.

How Long We Keep Data

  • Server logs — retained for 90 days, then automatically purged by the hosting provider.
  • Analytics data — retained for 26 months in aggregated form, then deleted.
  • Affiliate click logs — retained for 24 months to support commission dispute resolution, then deleted.
  • Contact correspondence — retained for 12 months after the last message in a thread, then deleted unless the correspondence relates to a legal matter.

How to Reach Us About Privacy

For privacy requests — access, correction, deletion, or complaints — please use the contact method published in the site footer. Please include "Privacy Request" in the subject line so the message is routed correctly.

We do not have a statutory Data Protection Officer requirement under Australian law, but all privacy correspondence is handled by the site editor and responded to within 30 days.

Policy Updates

This privacy policy may be updated when we change the tools we use, the data we collect, or when relevant law changes. The "last updated" date at the foot of this page reflects the most recent revision. Material changes — such as adding a new category of data collection or a new third-party tool — will be noted in a change summary at the top of this page for 30 days after the update.
