We use cookies to make our site work properly and to understand how it is used. Below is a summary of the cookie types we use:

Essential Cookies

These are required for the site to function and cannot be disabled. They do not store personally identifiable information.

Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics to collect anonymised data about how visitors interact with our pages. This helps us understand which content is most useful and where we can improve. Google Analytics data is aggregated and does not identify individual users. You can opt out via Google's opt-out tool.

Affiliate & Tracking Cookies

When you click a link to a casino or partner site, affiliate tracking cookies may be set to record referrals. These cookies are used to attribute commissions and do not store personal data beyond a session identifier. You can block these cookies in your browser settings without affecting your ability to use this site.

Managing Cookies

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect site functionality. Most browsers allow you to block third-party cookies while keeping essential ones active.

5. Third Parties & Affiliates

We maintain affiliate relationships with some of the casino operators featured on this site. When you click a referral link and register at a partner casino, we may receive a commission. This does not affect our editorial independence or the price you pay.

Each of these providers operates under its own privacy policy and data processing agreements in compliance with UK GDPR.
