We use analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with our Site. This helps us improve our content, identify popular guides and reviews, and ensure the Site performs well for all users.

Cloudflare Web Analytics

• Referring websites (how you arrived at our Site)
• General geographic location (country/region level, derived from IP address)
• Browser and device type
• Session duration and bounce rate

This data is used in aggregate form to improve the Site. We do not use analytics to identify, track, or profile individual visitors.

We use the following types of third-party services that may collect information about you:

Affiliate networks

When you click on affiliate links on our Site and visit a third-party casino, that casino or its affiliate network may place cookies on your device to track the referral. These third parties have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them before providing personal information.

Content delivery

We use Cloudflare for content delivery and security. Cloudflare may process limited data (such as IP addresses) to provide its services. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy for details.

Google Fonts

We use Google Fonts to display typography on our Site. When you load a page, your browser may connect to Google's servers to fetch font files. See Google's Privacy Policy for information on how Google handles this data.
