We’re a US-focused editorial/affiliate website. We review and compare iGaming brands (like online casinos, sweepstakes, and sportsbooks) and related topics. Our articles highlight safe play, changes in Florida sports betting, why certain brands lead the market, payment options (e.g., cards, bank transfers, e-wallets, crypto), and responsible gambling tools. We do not operate gambling services or take bets. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and your choices.
We aim to keep data collection minimal.
Browsing & device data
IP address, approximate location (city/region from IP), pages viewed, time on page, referrers/UTM tags, device/OS/browser, cookie or mobile ad IDs, link-out/click events to partners.
Cookies & tracking
Cookies, pixels, and similar tech help us measure traffic, run advertising, personalize or cap ads, and attribute affiliate commissions (e.g., UTM parameters, click IDs).
Contact details
We do not run a newsletter or contact forms by default. If you email us directly, we’ll receive your email address and any details you include, and we’ll use them only to respond.
Sensitive data
We do not intentionally collect sensitive categories (e.g., health, race, precise geolocation, government IDs).
Operate, secure, and debug the site; prevent abuse/fraud (e.g., bot filtering).
Measure traffic and content performance (analytics).
Improve articles and rankings based on aggregate engagement.
Show, measure, and cap programmatic advertisements.
Attribute affiliate commissions when you click out and sign up with a third-party operator.
Respond to your messages if you contact us by email.
Cookies are small files stored on your device. We also use pixels and link parameters (e.g., UTMs, click IDs) to understand what content helped you and to credit partners fairly.
Managing cookies:
Use your browser’s settings to block/clear cookies or send a “Do Not Track” request (note: many services do not respond to DNT).
You can also use Global Privacy Control (GPC); where feasible, we treat GPC as an opt-out of “sale/share” under California law.
To exercise US state privacy opt-outs (including “Do Not Sell or Share”), email [email protected] with the subject “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information.”
Blocking cookies may limit some features (e.g., remembering preferences or accurate attribution).
We use common categories of services:
Analytics (e.g., Google Analytics or similar) to understand site use in aggregate.
Advertising via programmatic ad networks that may place or read cookies to deliver and measure ads.
Affiliate partnerships with iGaming and related brands. Our outbound links may contain identifiers (like click IDs). If you click and later sign up or make a qualifying action, we may earn a commission—at no extra cost to you.
We don’t control third-party cookies once you leave our site. Review each operator’s privacy policy before creating an account.
We may share or allow access to the following categories, solely for the purposes described above:
Service providers (hosting, security/anti-abuse, analytics) under contracts that restrict use.
Advertising and affiliate partners for ad delivery, measurement, and commission attribution.
Legal/compliance when required by law, regulation, or to protect our rights and users.
We do not sell personal information for money. Under some state laws (e.g., California), our use of ad cookies and affiliate measurement may be considered “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising. You can opt out as described below.
Depending on your state (including CA, VA, CO, CT, UT), you may have rights to:
Access/know the categories and specific pieces of personal information we hold.
Delete personal information, subject to exceptions (e.g., security and fraud prevention, debugging).
Correct inaccuracies in your personal information (where applicable).
Portability (receive a copy in a portable format, where applicable).
Opt out of targeted advertising and of “sale/share” of personal information.
Limit use of sensitive personal information (we do not use sensitive PI).
How to exercise these rights:
Email [email protected] with your request and state of residence. We will take reasonable steps to verify your identity (e.g., verify control of your email address). California residents may direct us to opt out of “sale/share” by emailing [email protected] or using a browser that sends GPC signals, which we honor where feasible.
Appeals (VA/CO/CT):
If we deny your request, reply to our decision email with “Appeal” in the subject. We will review and respond within the period required by law.
Retention:
Analytics data: up to 24 months (aggregate/anonymized may be stored longer).
Server logs and security data: up to 12 months unless needed for investigations.
Emails you send us: as long as needed to respond and maintain records.
Security:
We use HTTPS, access controls, and regular software updates. No method is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Our content is for adults 21+ (or higher where required by law). We do not knowingly collect data from individuals under 21. If you believe a minor provided information, email [email protected] and we will remove it.
We link to external operators (e.g., sportsbooks, casinos) and resources. Their privacy practices and terms apply on their sites. Please review them before signing up or transacting.
We may update this Privacy Policy as our practices or laws change. We will revise the “Last updated” date above and post the new version here.
