3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our Site uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience and to collect information about how you use the Site. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by your web browser.
Types of Cookies We Use
- Essential cookies: These cookies are necessary for the basic functioning of the Site. They enable features such as page navigation and access to secure areas. The Site cannot function properly without these cookies.
- Analytics cookies: We use analytics cookies (such as those provided by Google Analytics) to collect information about how visitors use our Site. This data is aggregated and anonymised and helps us understand which pages are most visited, how users navigate the Site, and where they arrive from. These cookies do not identify you personally.
- Functional cookies: These cookies remember your preferences (such as your preferred language or region) and provide enhanced, personalised features.
- Advertising and affiliate cookies: When you click an affiliate link on our Site, our affiliate partners may set cookies on your device to track that the referral came from our Site. These cookies are used to calculate commissions owed to us and do not allow us to access any personal information held by the affiliate partner. These cookies typically expire after 30 to 90 days.
Managing Cookies
You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, and you can set your browser to alert you when cookies are being sent. Please note that blocking essential cookies may affect the functionality of the Site. For more information about managing cookies, visit allaboutcookies.org.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to analyse traffic to our Site. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about your use of the Site, which is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google uses this information to evaluate your use of the Site, compile reports on Site activity, and provide other services relating to website usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
4. Third-Party Links and Affiliate Links
Our Site contains links to third-party websites, including links to online casinos, cryptocurrency exchanges, and other services. Many of these links are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you sign up or make a deposit through these links. This does not affect the price you pay or the service you receive.
When you click a third-party or affiliate link, you leave our Site and are subject to the privacy policy and terms of service of the third-party website. We have no control over the content, privacy practices, or security of these external websites. We strongly encourage you to review the privacy policy of every website you visit after leaving our Site.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices, data collection, or content of third-party websites, including the online casinos and services we review. Our inclusion of affiliate links does not constitute an endorsement of the privacy practices of those third parties.
5. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include:
- Using SSL/TLS encryption to secure data transmitted between your browser and our servers.
- Restricting access to personal information to authorised personnel only.
- Regularly reviewing and updating our security practices.
- Using secure hosting providers with appropriate physical and technical safeguards.
However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. You use the Site and provide information at your own risk.

By using our Site, you consent to the transfer of your information to these jurisdictions.
