This privacy policy explains how we collect and use your data. We operate under the UK GDPR framework, overseen by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). Please read this page carefully before using our site.
Who We Are
We run an informational review website about betting sites not on GamStop. We do not hold a UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) licence. We do not accept bets or process payments of any kind.
Data We Collect
We collect limited data to keep this site running properly. Below is a clear breakdown of what we gather and why.
Cookies and Analytics
We use Google Analytics to measure how you interact with our pages. This tool collects anonymised data, including your approximate location, browser type, and pages visited. No personally identifiable information is stored through analytics alone.
Contact Form Submissions
If you submit a contact form, we collect your name and email address. We use this data only to respond to your query. We do not add you to any mailing list without your explicit consent.
Affiliate Tracking Links
Our site contains affiliate links to offshore bookmakers not covered by GamStop. When you click one of these links, the bookmaker may place a tracking cookie on your device. This cookie tells the bookmaker you arrived via our site, so we may earn a commission. We do not receive your personal account details from those bookmakers.
Third-Party Data Sharing
We share limited data with trusted third parties to operate this site. The table below lists who receives data and for what purpose.
| Third Party | Data Shared | Purpose | Your Control |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics | Anonymised browsing data | Site performance measurement | Opt out via cookie settings |
| Affiliate Networks | Click-through tracking cookies | Commission attribution | Decline cookies on arrival |
| Offshore Bookmakers | Referral click data only | Track affiliate referrals | Do not click affiliate links |
| Hosting Provider | Server access logs (IP address) | Security and uptime monitoring | Contact us to request deletion |
Affiliate Links and Your Data
Our affiliate links connect you to bookmakers that operate outside the GamStop self-exclusion scheme. Clicking a link transfers you to a third-party site with its own privacy policy. We recommend you read each bookmaker’s policy before registering an account.
Cookie Consent
When you first visit our site, a cookie banner asks for your consent. You can accept all cookies, accept only essential cookies, or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time via the cookie settings link in our footer.

How to Contact Us
For any data request or privacy concern, email us at [email protected]. We aim to respond within 30 days, in line with ICO guidelines. If your request is complex, we will notify you of any extension within that initial 30-day window.
Data Retention
We keep contact form data for up to 12 months after your last interaction. Analytics data is retained for 14 months before automatic deletion in Google Analytics. Server access logs are deleted after 90 days.
