Privacy policy

What this site collects

There are no accounts here. The site runs no registration, no login and no member area, so it never asks for a name, an email address or a password in exchange for reading a page. There are no comments either: no comment forms, no reviews submitted by readers, nowhere to type anything that would need storing.

What remains is the standard machinery of the web. The hosting runs server logs, as nearly every website does, recording technical request details such as the pages asked for, the time of each request, the browser and device involved and the address the request came from. These logs exist for security and for diagnosing faults, and they are kept only for as long as that purpose needs.

Cookies and analytics

A cookie is a small file a website places in your browser so it can remember something between visits. Any cookies this site sets serve measurement rather than identification: counting how often a page is read, noticing which pages stall or break, and understanding whether a guide is doing its job.

Analytics tools, where used, record aggregate patterns of behaviour rather than dossiers on individuals. You can clear cookies or block them in your browser settings at any time, and doing so hides nothing here, because there is nothing behind a login to lock.

Outbound clicks and the redirect

Every outbound click from the comparison board travels through this site’s own redirect before it reaches an operator. The redirect is a short forwarding path on this domain, beginning /prize/, that hands your browser on to the address you chose. Two things ride along with it.

Each outbound link carries the nofollow sponsored instruction, which tells search engines that the connection is advertising and should earn no ranking credit. The forwarding path itself is kept out of search results, marked so that crawlers do not index it. The site counts these exits in aggregate, which is how it can report honestly on which placements readers actually choose; the How we are paid page explains that arrangement in full. The redirect does not attach your identity to the click.

Third-party operator pages

Once your browser leaves this domain, a different set of rules takes over. Every operator page, payment provider and search engine you reach from here runs its own privacy policy, set by whoever operates it, and this site has no say in what those policies contain.

If you go on to open an account with an operator, you deal with that operator directly: the data you hand over goes to them under their terms, and this site is not a party to it. Reading a policy before sharing anything with a new site is tedious; it is also the only way to know what you are agreeing to.

Data requests and contact

Because so little is collected, requests about personal data are usually short affairs. If you want to know whether anything is held that relates to you, or would like anything corrected or deleted, use the site’s contact page and describe what you are asking about.

Correspondence you send arrives as an email the editorial desk reads and keeps only while it is needed to deal with the matter. There are no databases of member profiles to trawl, because there are no members; most requests end up concerning server logs or a message you have sent, both of which are straightforward to check. A reply comes from a person, not a ticketing system.

Adults only

The site is written for adults, and the reason is the subject rather than the data. Casino gambling in Great Britain is restricted to people aged 18 and over, so the material here assumes a reader of that age.

Nothing here is built to collect data from children, and the site’s structure gives that promise little to do: with no accounts and no comment forms, there is nowhere for a child to hand anything over. If a younger reader arrives anyway, the pages will not stop them reading, though nothing is aimed at them; the models on this site describe costs rather than encourage play.
