Privacy Policy
This privacy policy explains what data this website collects when you visit, how that data is used, who it may be shared with, and what rights you have under Australian law. This site is an independent review and comparison resource — it does not process bets, hold funds or operate a casino.
What Data We Collect and How
This website collects two categories of data: technical data gathered automatically when you visit, and information you provide voluntarily through contact channels.
Automatically collected data is generated by standard web server and analytics infrastructure every time a page is loaded. It includes:
- IP address — logged by the server and used to derive approximate geographic location (country and city level). IP addresses are not stored in a form that identifies individuals beyond this level.
- Browser and device type — browser name, version, operating system and screen resolution, reported by your browser's user agent string.
- Pages visited — which pages on this site you requested, in what order, and at what time.
- Referring URL — the address of the page you came from before reaching this site, if your browser passes this information.
- Outbound link clicks — when you click an affiliate link to a casino, the click event is recorded for affiliate reporting purposes. This identifies that a click occurred and the destination, not who clicked.
- Session duration — time spent on individual pages and across the session as a whole.
Voluntarily submitted data is information you choose to provide by contacting us through the site footer contact path. This may include your name and email address. It is used only to respond to your enquiry and is not added to any marketing list.
This site does not collect: payment card numbers, gambling account details, government ID, health information or any other category of sensitive information as defined under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
How We Use Collected Data
Data collected by this site is used for the following purposes only:
- Site performance and improvement — analytics data is used to understand which content is most useful, identify pages with high exit rates, and prioritise updates. No individually identifiable profiles are built from this data.
- Content accuracy — aggregate traffic patterns can indicate when a page is receiving unexpected levels of interest, which may prompt an earlier review of the content's accuracy.
- Affiliate reporting — outbound click data is passed to affiliate network platforms to attribute referrals accurately. This is a financial reporting function; it does not involve passing personal identifiers to casino operators.
- Responding to enquiries — contact form submissions are used solely to respond to the person who submitted them. Contact data is not used for outbound marketing.
- Legal compliance — server logs may be retained for a limited period if required to investigate security incidents or comply with a lawful request from an authority.
Data is not used to build advertising profiles, is not sold to data brokers, and is not used to target individuals with marketing communications.
Third-Party Services and Data Sharing
Operating this site involves third-party services that receive a subset of the data described above. Each operates under its own privacy policy.
- Google Analytics — receives anonymised session and behaviour data. IP addresses are anonymised before transmission to Google's servers. Google's data processing terms and privacy policy govern how this data is held and used on their infrastructure.
- Affiliate tracking platforms — when you click an outbound link to a casino, a click identifier is passed to the relevant affiliate network. This identifier records that a click occurred from this site; it does not transmit your name, email or any other personal identifier to the casino.
- Casino operators — once you leave this site via an affiliate link and visit a casino's own domain, that casino's privacy policy applies. This site has no control over and takes no responsibility for data handling by the destination operator.
- Hosting and content delivery infrastructure — the hosting provider and any content delivery network may process connection-level data (IP address, request headers) as part of delivering pages to your browser. This is standard infrastructure processing.
No personal data is sold, rented or licensed to any third party for marketing or commercial purposes.

Your Rights and How to Exercise Them
Under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles, you have the following rights regarding personal information this site may hold about you:
- Right of access — you may request a description of what personal information (if any) is held about you in identifiable form, and obtain a copy of it. Note that most data collected by this site (analytics session data) is aggregated and not stored in a form that identifies individual visitors.
- Right of correction — if personal information held about you is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete or misleading, you may request that it be corrected.
- Right of deletion — you may request deletion of personal information held about you. We will confirm deletion or explain why deletion is not possible (for example, where the information is required for legal compliance).
- Right to make a complaint — if you believe we have handled your personal information in breach of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), you may make a complaint to us first. If the matter is not resolved to your satisfaction, you may escalate to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au or by calling 1300 363 992.
To exercise any of the above rights, use the contact path published in the site footer. Identify your request clearly (access, correction, deletion or complaint). Requests are reviewed within 10 business days.
Policy Updates
This privacy policy is reviewed annually and updated whenever a material change occurs in how this site collects or uses data, or when changes to applicable law require it.
- Material changes — changes that affect what data is collected, how it is used or who it is shared with are considered material. Material changes will be reflected in an updated "last reviewed" date at the bottom of this page.
- Minor changes — corrections of typographical errors, clarifications of existing practices and formatting updates are considered minor and may be made without a formal review date update.
- Legal changes — if changes to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) or associated regulations require amendments to this policy, updates will be made within 30 days of the relevant change taking effect.
Continued use of this site after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. If you check this page periodically, the "last reviewed" date at the bottom will indicate whether a review has occurred since your last visit.

- Deletion requests — specify what information you wish to have deleted. We will confirm deletion or explain any limitation.
