5.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the Site to function correctly. They do not collect personal data and cannot be disabled without affecting site functionality.

5.2 Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics to collect anonymized data about how visitors use our Site. Google Analytics uses cookies to track page views, session duration, traffic sources, and other usage metrics. IP addresses are anonymized before storage. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

We use the following third-party services that may collect data:

  • Google Analytics: Web analytics service provided by Google LLC. Data may be transferred to and processed in the United States. Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.
  • Affiliate Partners: When you click an outbound casino link on our Site, you are redirected to a third-party casino website. These websites operate under their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review. We do not share your personal data with affiliate partners, but the act of clicking a link may transmit your IP address and referral data to the destination website.
