2. Categories of Data We May Collect
Depending on how you interact with the Site, the following categories of data may be collected:
- Identification data — name and email address submitted voluntarily through forms (e.g., the contact form)
- Technical and log data — IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and timestamps, collected automatically via server logs and analytics tools
- Cookie and tracking data — identifiers stored in your browser as described in Section 5

We do not collect payment card numbers, passport scans, or other highly sensitive personal data directly through this Site.
3. Purposes of Processing
Personal data collected through the Site is processed for the following purposes:
- Provision of the service — delivering requested pages, responding to enquiries, and maintaining Site functionality
- Security and fraud prevention — detecting and preventing abuse, automated scraping, or unauthorised access
- Analytics and performance — understanding aggregate patterns of use to improve content and navigation (typically using anonymised or pseudonymised data)
- Legal compliance — meeting obligations imposed by applicable law, including data retention requirements
We do not use personal data collected through this Site to send unsolicited marketing communications without prior consent.
4. Legal Bases for Processing
Processing activities are carried out on one or more of the following legal bases as applicable under relevant data protection law:
- Legitimate interests — for analytics, security, and the operation of the Site, where those interests are not overridden by your rights
- Contractual necessity — where processing is required to respond to your specific request
- Consent — for non-essential cookies and any opt-in communications, where consent is collected separately
- Legal obligation — where retention or disclosure is required by law
5. Cookies and Similar Technologies
The Site uses cookies and similar browser-based technologies. These may include:
- Strictly necessary cookies — required for the Site to function correctly; cannot be disabled without affecting Site operation
- Analytics cookies — used to collect aggregated data on Site usage (e.g., page visits, session duration); typically implemented via third-party analytics providers
- Preference cookies — store settings such as language or display preferences
- Advertising and affiliate tracking cookies — used in connection with affiliate relationships with third-party casino operators to attribute referrals
You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings or, where a consent management tool is provided on the Site, through that interface. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of parts of the Site.
6. Sharing Data with Third Parties
We do not sell personal data. Data may be shared with third parties only in the following circumstances:
- Service providers and processors — hosting providers, analytics platforms, and other vendors acting under contractual data processing agreements that restrict their use of the data
- Affiliate partners — limited technical identifiers (e.g., click IDs) may be passed to affiliated casino operators for referral attribution; no financial account or identity data is transmitted from this Site
- Legal requirements — disclosure may occur where required by a court order, regulatory authority, or applicable law
7. Data Retention
Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, subject to any legal retention obligations. Contact form submissions are typically retained for a period sufficient to handle the enquiry and any related follow-up. Technical log data is generally retained for a shorter period unless required for security investigations.

- Objection — the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests
- Portability — the right to receive data in a structured, machine-readable format where processing is based on consent or contract
