Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

Who We Are

Casinos UK (casinos-uk.com) is an independent affiliate website that publishes reviews and guides for online casinos operating outside the UK Gambling Commission's GamStop scheme. We are not a casino, we do not process bets, and we do not hold player funds. Our role is editorial — we test casinos and publish our findings.

You can learn more about our team and review methodology on our about us page. For questions about this privacy policy or your personal data, contact us at [email protected].

Information We Collect

Casinos UK does not require you to create an account or register to use this website. We collect a limited amount of data to keep the site running properly and to understand how visitors use our content.

Information collected automatically

When you visit our website, our servers and analytics tools may collect the following:

Your IP address (anonymised where possible)
Browser type and version
Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
Operating system
Pages visited and time spent on each page
Referral source (how you arrived at our site)
Date and time of your visit

Information collected via cookies

We use cookies for analytics and affiliate tracking purposes. Full details are provided in the Cookies section below.

Information we do NOT collect

Casinos UK does not collect any of the following:

Payment or credit card details
Gambling activity, bet history, or account balances
Personal financial information
Names, addresses, or phone numbers (unless you email us directly)

Any transactions you make with a casino after clicking one of our links take place entirely on that casino's platform, not on ours.

How We Use Your Information

The data we collect is used for the following purposes:

Website improvement. Understanding which pages are popular, where visitors drop off, and how people navigate the site helps us publish more useful content.
Traffic analysis. We monitor overall traffic patterns to plan server capacity and ensure the site loads quickly for all visitors.
Content performance. Analytics data tells us which reviews and guides are most useful, allowing us to prioritise updates and new content accordingly.
Technical functionality. Some data is necessary for the site to display correctly on your device and to maintain security.

We do not use your data for personalised advertising. We do not build user profiles. We do not sell or rent personal data to any third party.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We use three types of cookies on Casinos UK:

Essential cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They handle basic tasks such as remembering your cookie consent preference and maintaining site security. You cannot opt out of essential cookies without affecting site functionality.

Analytics cookies

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site. Google Analytics places cookies on your device to collect anonymised usage data. Your IP address is anonymised before it is stored, meaning Google does not receive your full IP address. These cookies help us measure page views, session duration, and traffic sources.

You can learn more about how Google handles analytics data at Google's privacy policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Affiliate tracking cookies

When you click a link to a casino on our site, a cookie may be placed on your device so that the casino can attribute your visit to Casinos UK. This is how we earn commission as an affiliate. The cookie contains a referral identifier — it does not store your name, email address, or any personal details.

These cookies are set by the casino or its affiliate platform, not by us. Their duration and contents are governed by the casino's own privacy policy.

Managing cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

View which cookies are currently stored on your device
Delete individual cookies or clear all cookies
Block cookies from specific websites or from all sites
Set your browser to notify you when a cookie is placed

Please note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of this website and others you visit.

Third-Party Links

Our website contains links to third-party casino websites. These are affiliate links — when you click through to a casino and create an account, we may receive a commission. This is explained further on our disclaimer page.

When you click an affiliate link, you leave Casinos UK and enter a website operated by the casino. We have no control over the content, privacy practices, or security measures of third-party sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any casino you visit before providing personal information or making a deposit.

The presence of a casino on our site does not constitute an endorsement of its privacy practices. Our reviews assess gameplay, bonuses, and withdrawals — not the casino's data handling policies, which fall under its own regulatory framework.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. Data may be shared with the following third parties in the course of operating this website:

Google Analytics. Receives anonymised usage data (IP addresses are masked before storage) to provide us with traffic reports and audience insights.
Hosting provider. Our web hosting provider processes server logs that contain IP addresses, request timestamps, and pages accessed. These logs are used for security monitoring and technical troubleshooting.
Affiliate partners. When you click an affiliate link, the destination casino or its affiliate platform receives a referral identifier. This identifier links your visit to Casinos UK for commission purposes. It does not include your name, email, or any other personal data held by us — because we do not hold such data.

Data Retention

We retain data only for as long as it is needed for the purposes described in this policy:

Google Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics' default retention settings (currently 14 months for user-level data). Aggregated, non-identifying reports may be retained indefinitely.
Server logs are retained for 90 days, after which they are automatically deleted.
Email correspondence — if you contact us at [email protected], we retain your email and our reply for as long as necessary to resolve your enquiry, or until you ask us to delete it.

Your Rights

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

Right of access. You can request a copy of any personal data we hold about you.
Right to rectification. You can ask us to correct inaccurate data.
Right to erasure. You can ask us to delete your personal data, subject to any legal obligations we may have to retain it.
Right to restrict processing. You can ask us to limit how we use your data in certain circumstances.
Right to object. You can object to our processing of your data, including for analytics purposes.
Right to withdraw consent. Where processing is based on your consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at [email protected]. We aim to respond to all data requests within 30 days, as required by law. There is no fee for making a request unless the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

Children

Casinos UK is strictly for persons aged 18 and over. Our content relates to real-money gambling, which is an adult activity. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. If we become aware that data has been collected from a minor, we will delete it promptly.

If you believe a person under 18 has provided us with personal data, please contact us at [email protected] so we can take appropriate action. For more information on our stance regarding underage gambling, please see our responsible gambling page.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.

We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the website after changes have been posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
