Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies when you visit our online casino platform. By continuing to use our services, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy. We are committed to transparency regarding data collection and processing in compliance with UK gambling regulations and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This policy applies to all users accessing our gaming services from Great Britain and provides comprehensive information about cookie usage, your rights, and available controls.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our website. These files contain information that helps us recognise your browser and remember certain details about your preferences or past actions. Cookies are widely used across the internet to enhance user experience and provide personalised services. In the context of online gambling, cookies serve essential functions including account security, game preferences, and responsible gambling measures. We use various types of cookies, each serving specific purposes to ensure optimal functionality of our casino platform while maintaining compliance with UK Gambling Commission requirements.
Similar technologies we employ include web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage objects. These technologies work alongside cookies to collect information about your browsing behaviour, device characteristics, and interaction patterns with our gaming content. Understanding these technologies helps you make informed decisions about your privacy preferences while enjoying our casino services.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorise our cookies into several types based on their functionality and purpose within our online casino environment:
- Essential cookies: Required for basic website functionality, account authentication, and secure transactions
- Performance cookies: Collect anonymous data about website usage, loading times, and technical performance
- Functional cookies: Remember your preferences, language settings, and gaming history
- Analytical cookies: Help us understand user behaviour patterns and improve our services
- Marketing cookies: Enable personalised promotions, bonus offers, and targeted advertising
- Security cookies: Protect against fraud, unauthorised access, and ensure responsible gambling measures
Each category serves specific purposes in delivering comprehensive online casino services while maintaining security standards required by UK gambling legislation. We regularly review our cookie usage to ensure minimal data collection necessary for optimal service delivery.
3. How We Use Cookies
Our cookie implementation serves multiple purposes essential for operating a secure and user-friendly online casino platform. We use cookies to authenticate user sessions, preventing unauthorised access to player accounts and ensuring transaction security. Game-related cookies remember your preferred slot machines, betting patterns, and gameplay statistics, enabling personalised gaming experiences tailored to individual preferences.
Responsible gambling features rely heavily on cookie technology to monitor playing time, spending limits, and self-exclusion settings. These cookies help us identify potentially problematic gambling behaviours and implement appropriate intervention measures as required by UK Gambling Commission guidelines. Additionally, cookies facilitate seamless navigation between different gaming sections, maintain shopping cart contents for merchandise purchases, and enable social features like chat functionality during live dealer games.
Marketing cookies allow us to present relevant promotional offers, welcome bonuses, and loyalty programme benefits based on your gaming interests and activity patterns. This personalisation ensures you receive promotions most likely to enhance your gaming experience while avoiding irrelevant communications.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Our platform integrates various third-party services that may place their own cookies on your device. These include payment processors, game developers, customer support systems, and analytical tools. Major third-party cookie sources include:
- Payment gateway providers for secure deposit and withdrawal processing
- Game software developers providing slot machines and live dealer experiences
- Customer analytics platforms helping us understand user engagement
- Social media integration services for sharing and community features
- Advertising networks delivering targeted promotional content
- Security services protecting against fraud and cyber threats
We carefully select third-party partners based on their compliance with GDPR requirements and commitment to data protection. However, we cannot control third-party cookie policies, so we recommend reviewing their privacy statements for detailed information about their data collection practices.
5. Cookie Duration and Storage
Cookies deployed on our platform have varying lifespans depending on their function and legal requirements. Session cookies expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain stored for predetermined periods. Essential security cookies typically last for the duration of your gaming session, automatically expiring upon logout or browser closure.
Functional cookies remembering your preferences may persist for several months, allowing consistent personalisation across multiple visits. Analytical cookies generally have shorter lifespans, usually expiring within days or weeks of placement. Marketing cookies may remain active for extended periods, enabling long-term campaign effectiveness measurement and user journey analysis.
We regularly review stored cookies to ensure compliance with data retention policies and remove outdated information that no longer serves legitimate business purposes. This practice aligns with GDPR principles of data minimisation and storage limitation.
6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You maintain control over cookie acceptance and can modify preferences through multiple methods. Our website provides a comprehensive cookie preference centre accessible through account settings, allowing granular control over different cookie categories. You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise permissions for specific cookie types.
Browser-level cookie management offers additional control options:
- Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and website data
- Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Cookies and site data
Please note that disabling essential cookies may impact website functionality, preventing access to certain features like account login, game history, or secure payment processing. We recommend maintaining essential cookies while customising preferences for other categories based on your privacy comfort level.
7. Your Rights and Choices
Under UK data protection laws, you possess specific rights regarding cookie usage and personal data processing. You have the right to withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before withdrawal. This withdrawal can be executed through our preference centre or by contacting customer support.
You can request information about cookies currently stored on your device, their purposes, and retention periods. Additionally, you have the right to object to certain types of processing, particularly for marketing and profiling purposes. Our customer support team can assist with exercising these rights and provide guidance on available options for limiting data collection while maintaining access to core gaming services.
For users preferring minimal tracking, we offer alternative access methods that utilise only essential cookies necessary for basic functionality and regulatory compliance, though this may limit personalisation features and promotional opportunities.

We update this policy when introducing new cookie types, modifying existing practices, or responding to regulatory changes affecting online gambling operations in Great Britain.
