Our platform features referral links to licensed online casinos (e.g. our partner casino, our partner casino, our partner casino). When you follow these links:

Disabling cookies via your browser is possible, though certain functionality may be limited. For guidance, see https://www.allaboutcookies.org.

5. Information Protection Measures

We employ established security protocols:

  • TLS/SSL encryption - all communications between your device and our servers are encoded
  • Protected infrastructure - data centres include firewall defences and periodic security evaluations
  • Restricted personnel access - only trained team members may view personal information

That said, internet-based systems carry inherent risk. Complete immunity from security incidents cannot be promised.

6. How Long We Keep Your Data
