1. Data Controller
The entity operating this Site acts as the data controller for personal data collected through it. Corporate details are set out in the site footer. If you have questions about the identity of the controller, please contact us through the official channels referenced at the end of this document.

We do not collect payment card data, government-issued identification, or financial account information through this Site. Account-level data at casino operators is handled exclusively by those operators under their own privacy policies.
3. Purposes of Processing
We process personal data for the following purposes:

- Security and fraud prevention — detecting and mitigating abusive or automated access
- Legal compliance — meeting obligations under applicable UK law, including record-keeping requirements
- Affiliate tracking — where users follow links to third-party operators, limited referral data may be passed to those operators for commission attribution purposes
4. Legal Bases for Processing
We rely on the following legal bases under the UK GDPR:
- Legitimate interests — for analytics, security, and general site operation, where these interests are not overridden by your rights
- Consent — for non-essential cookies and similar technologies, where consent is required
- Legal obligation — where processing is required by law

This Site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. These may include:
- Strictly necessary cookies — required for basic site functionality; cannot be disabled
- Analytics cookies — used to collect aggregated information about how visitors use the Site (e.g. via tools such as Google Analytics); these are only set with your consent
- Affiliate tracking cookies — used to attribute referrals to third-party operators; activated when you follow an outbound affiliate link
You can manage cookie preferences through the consent banner displayed on first visit, or through your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect site functionality.
6. Sharing Data with Third Parties
We do not sell personal data. We may share data with:
- Service providers and processors — hosting providers, analytics platforms, and email delivery services operating under data processing agreements that restrict use to the contracted purpose
- Affiliated casino operators — limited referral data for commission tracking, as noted in Section 3
- Regulatory or law enforcement authorities — where required by a legal obligation or court order
Any third-party processor engaged by us is required to implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures.

Specific retention periods may be updated to reflect operational or legal requirements.

- Right of access — to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
- Right to rectification — to correct inaccurate or incomplete data
- Right to erasure — to request deletion of your data where no lawful ground for retention exists
