This page outlines the details of our privacy policy. You will find information regarding our company, how we collect and use your data, and your rights. We believe that all users of our website should have access to this information. We strive to comply with all regulations and legal mandates in India, and to make this information available to every user, we have clearly outlined our policies here.
We respect the rights and privileges of our users, and we always balance these rights fairly against our rights and legal obligations. We strive only to collect information that improves our users’ experiences on our website. We remove information that is unrelated to that purpose, is irrelevant, or could potentially be harmful to our system as it relates to legal requirements.
We place a significant emphasis on user comfort, so we strive to be completely open with our privacy policy. All the information that we collect is done so with complete adherence to all relevant legal bodies. We provide options for you to address our information collection procedures and the information that we collect from you. If you have further questions that we do not answer below, we encourage you to contact us to address those concerns with us directly.
Our purpose is to provide our users with expert online casino reviews that are relevant and comprehensive. This guide will help you to understand the data that we collect to help achieve that goal.
The Company Responsible for Guarding Your Data
JustGamblers.com caters to Indian gamblers by providing comprehensive, relevant reviews of the world’s most popular online casinos. Additionally, it creates and maintains guides on how to play the most popular online casino games. In each of these guides and reviews, and across every platform, the company encourages responsible gambling. The company also considers various international regulations as they relate to online gambling when collecting and retaining data from our users.
As a trusted source of information regarding online casinos in India, we treat your personal data with the highest regard. To that end, we use high-quality privacy software to ensure that your data remains protected from unauthorised access. Additionally, we limit how we share your information with others. In all circumstances, we aim to protect our users from harm and digital fraud. We offer you ways to request the restriction or removal of your information.
About Us
We employ experts who analyse online casinos and games. Our expert reviews and guides focus on several features for each casino or game:
- Should a user trust the casino to legitimately handle money and bank account information?
- Has the casino arranged for valid software certifications to verify the legitimacy and randomness of its games?
- Under which authorities or governing bodies are these legal and licensed casinos established?
- Is the casino’s website designed with user experience in mind?
- What is the signup process, and what kind of information does a user need to provide?
- Which kinds of games are available, and which restrictions are there regarding who can play these games?
- Which bonuses, promotions, and loyalty programs does the casino offer to encourage users to return?
- How does the casino address and encourage responsible gambling?
- What are the most effective strategies to help players maximise their wagers?
- What is the history behind gambling with these games in India?
We design our reviews and guides to provide in-depth information across a broad spectrum of casino games, including live games, table games, and online sportsbooks.
The information that we collect will always be used for the purpose of improving our guides and user experience. We may use this information to suggest new games that suit your interests.
The Data That We Process
The data we collect falls into several different categories. While we are legally obliged to collect data in some of these categories, the rest are intended to improve your experience on our website or offer additional services via direct marketing. The full list of data categories follows:
- Name
- Date of Birth
- Email Address
- Password
- IP Address
- Location Data
- Website Usage
- Gender
- Age
- Occupation
- Personal Preferences and Opinions
The majority of this information is related to your account and experience with our website. The data that we collect helps us form a more accurate picture of your preferences and interests, which helps us to provide information and offers that are relevant to you. You can see the importance of this information by reviewing the following examples:
- A 14-year-old in Goa explores several casino reviews in an attempt to find an online casino that may let him or her sign up and play. As 14 is below the minimum age to participate in online gambling, we may use this information to limit the kind and amount of direct marketing that is sent to this user through our website.
- A user from New Delhi looks at several reviews of online casinos that are not available to Indian players. We may send this user information about upcoming specials at these casinos paired with a reminder that the user must physically take a trip to an eligible country to participate in these specials.
- A user creates an online profile with our website. We retain the user’s email address and password to ensure that the user can continue to access that profile even if he or she forgets pieces of login information.
- A user consistently reviews our pages highlighting how to play or improve at roulette and searches for articles and expert reviews that include roulette. We may send direct marketing to this user based on his or her preference for this game.
- The European Union may track down a case of widespread fraud or data tampering related to an online casino frequented by European users. Authorities may legally request the information that we store about users who reside in Europe, and we may be legally compelled to provide that information.
Automated and Manual Processing
To preserve our users’ privacy, we limit how much manual data processing occurs on our site and in our database through two primary means:
- Cookies - Our cookie policy is addressed fully in section 8 (‘Our Cookie Policy’), but in brief, we use cookies to record relevant information on your device. We can decrease the amount of personal information related to your account and activity that we store on our servers. Not only does this policy better protect your data, but it also improves performance by retaining more information locally, increasing the website’s performance on your computer.
- Automated Processing - Our preference is to use automated processing whenever possible. We use these systems to store, encrypt, and retrieve users’ information. The primary function of these processes is to simplify users’ experiences with their accounts. Since we retain usernames, passwords, email addresses, and other personal information, you can recover a lost password by using our automated processes based on the security information that you provided (and we stored) when you signed up with us. No one on our technical support team will manually access that information in response to a password request.
International Data Transfers
We have created our international data transfer policy concerning transfers outside of the jurisdiction of the European Union. In some limited scenarios, we may permit third parties to access general demographic information for marketing purposes.
Under no circumstances outside of legal compulsion will we ever share your personal information. In such situations, various governmental bodies may compel us to disclose your information in response to legal requests. We do not have a choice when responding to official requests from law enforcement agencies based on legal regulations and requirements.
We consistently strive to maintain your rights and privileges as permitted by law and our commitment to service. If we are contacted by law enforcement agencies, we will take steps to confirm that the agency and the request are legitimate.
Your Rights as a User
We firmly support your rights as a consumer. As you visit our website, we commit to protecting your data to the greatest degree possible. We will use the information that we collect only to improve your experience as you navigate our reviews, guides, and free games.

We have articulated your options here so that you may have a full awareness of the actions that you can legally take. If you would like us to do something with your information that we did not list above, please contact us, and we may be able to assist you.
Direct Marketing
We believe in the importance of providing only relevant direct marketing to our visitors. Due to the nature of gambling, users have widely different preferences, but we can observe patterns regarding associated tastes. Based on that information, we can provide our users with the most accurate recommendations, information, and incentives possible.
The data that we collect is often related to the information categories articulated in section 3 (‘The Data That We Process’). Generally, we will use this information to alert you to specials, promotions, new features, and website changes that may be relevant to you as an individual or as a member of a class.
We take care to ensure that our marketing efforts are conducted well within the legitimate interests that we have as a service provider. We will seek consent whenever possible and permit users to opt into this kind of marketing. If we have incorrect information and this information leads to invalid or inappropriate recommendations, you can exercise your rights as articulated in Section 4 (‘Your Rights as a User’) to expunge that incorrect information.
While we offer users the option to opt out from strictly marketing-based communication, there are some messages that we are compelled by law to distribute, including any alterations to our terms of service that occur after you agree to them.
As befits our commitment to high-quality customer service, we strive to keep any marketing communications to a minimum. We are obligated to share helpful information regarding promotions and newly-reviewed casinos because we believe that this communication helps both parties. We may use the information that we collect to tailor these marketing communications to your tastes.
The Time Frame During Which We Keep Your Data
We use several categories to organise your data. Depending on which category a piece of information falls under, we retain that information for a certain length of time. The four categories are:
- Data that is technically necessary to ensure that the website functions properly on your device.
- Data that we are mandated to record and retain by legal authorities or supervisory bodies.
- Data that is helpful to facilitate users’ positive experiences on our website.
- Data that must be retained for tax or economic and regulatory purposes.
The length of time during which we retain your information varies depending on these categories. If we are not legally mandated to retain the information for criminal or economic purposes and you withdraw your consent, we will remove the information immediately after we approve your objection. If we are legally required to retain the information, we will keep it indefinitely. We may remove technically-necessary data after your device changes or we update our website.
Once we have satisfied our legal requirements to retain your information, we have the option to exercise our right to remove that information. We may do so consistently for any information that is not directly relevant to user experience, including data that takes up unnecessary storage space or poses a risk of data theft. Instead of deleting the information, we may anonymise it to protect your identity and provide ourselves with helpful demographic information so that we may improve your experience and that of other users.
Our Legal Basis for Processing Your Data
Due to the variability in legal regulations depending on our users’ countries of origin, we adhere to consent-based justification for collecting and processing your data. This policy manifests in several ways:
- By using our website, you provide tacit consent that we may collect your personal data and website usage information.
- You may explicitly withdraw your consent in part or in full. If this decision impacts your ability to use our website effectively, we may communicate with you regarding the impact.
- We observe all legal requests for information that we receive and verify. We comply with legal injunctions against collecting information in specific circumstances.
- We make information related to our data collection, use, and processing freely available to all our users.
Due to our commitment to cooperating with law enforcement agencies that are pursuing active legal cases, there are some categories of protected information that we may collect. Under a legal mandate to collect such information, we do not have a choice regarding its collection. Such situations are comparatively rare and do not affect the majority of users.
