Privacy and Cookies

A short list of what this site stores, and a plainer list of what it never does.

What this site stores

This site holds no reader accounts, so it keeps no names, no email addresses and no payment details of its own. There is no database of players here, and there is little to breach, because almost nothing is stored beyond the anonymous usage figures set out below. When a page loads, the site records that the page was requested, which page it was, roughly where in the world the request came from at country level, the browser type and the time. None of this identifies you.

Casinos you reach from here run their own account systems, and anything you hand them at registration sits under their control and their privacy policy, not ours. We never see your password, your deposit history or your identity documents. No newsletter and no login exist either, so there is no profile to opt out of.

If you write to the desk through the contact page, the message itself and the reply address are kept for as long as the conversation needs, then deleted. That is the whole of what the desk holds, and it is deliberately kept small.

Cookies, the two kinds set here

Two kinds of cookie are set by this site. The first is a consent cookie, a small marker that remembers your answer to the cookie notice so the notice does not reappear on every page. The second covers anonymised analytics, which count page views and referral sources in aggregate so the desk can see which guides are read and which are not. Those numbers carry no identifiers that could single out a reader. The consent you give is the lawful basis for the analytics under UK GDPR, and withdrawing it is as simple as clearing the cookie.

One further thing is worth knowing: the offers board is a separate system, and once a reader leaves this site through it, the operator’s site sets cookies of its own. Those cookies, and whatever the operator records alongside them, are governed by the operator’s privacy policy, not this one. Check the policy on the operator’s site before you register there. Nothing in this site’s own cookie set follows you across other websites, sells anything to brokers, or builds an advertising profile of your browsing.

Your rights under UK GDPR

UK GDPR gives readers rights over personal data, and this page sets out how those rights work here. Because the site holds so little, most requests are short to answer. If you want to know what the desk holds about you, write through the contact page and ask. The honest answer is usually the same: anonymous analytics only, plus any messages you have sent.

If you have written before and want those messages deleted, say so and they will be removed, reply address included, within a reasonable window. Deletion requests are honoured for anything the desk actually holds. The desk cannot delete data held by casino operators, since that data sits in their systems under their policies, and requests about it must go to them directly.

You can also object to the analytics at any time, and the site will respect that choice. Saying no changes nothing about what you can read; every guide stays open either way. A complaint that cannot be settled here can be taken to the Information Commissioner’s Office, which oversees the UK GDPR.

If gambling stops being fun: GAMSTOP lets you self-exclude from every GB-licensed online operator in one free request, though it does not cover sites licensed offshore. The National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133, run by GamCare, is free, confidential and open around the clock. GambleAware and Gamblers Anonymous list further support, and most UK banks can block gambling transactions on a current account.
