About Us
We employ experts who analyze online casinos. Our expert reviews focus on several features for each casino:
- How trustworthy is the casino as a website, and what information is available about the company that owns the casino?
- Which software and certifications do these casinos use to ensure that the games are fair?
- Under which authorities or governing bodies are these legal and licensed casinos established?
- How user-friendly is the website, and how easily can users set up accounts?
- What kinds of games are available, and which restrictions are there regarding who can play these games?
- Which promotions do the casinos offer to encourage users to return?
- How do the casinos address and encourage responsible gambling?
We produce in-depth guides on how to play various casino games, including poker, blackjack, and roulettes. Our experts review common strategies, errors, and methods of play.
Depending on the information that we collect about you, we may be able to better fulfill this objective. We will use relevant information about how you use our website to suggest games, casinos, and more.
The Data That We Process
We collect several categories of information. Some of these are legally mandated, some ensure the best website experience possible for our users, and some we collect to improve the services that we offer. These categories include:
- Name
- Date of Birth
- Email Address
- Password
- IP Address
- Location Data
- Website Usage
- Gender
- Age
- Occupation
- Personal Preferences and Opinions
Most of this information is directly related to your account. You can see the importance of this information by reviewing the following examples:
- An 18-year-old in New Jersey visits our site to learn about online gambling opportunities. As the minimum age to participate in online gambling in New Jersey is 21, we may use this information to limit the kind and amount of direct marketing that is sent to this user.
- A user from New York looks at several reviews of online casinos that are exclusive to New Jersey. 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 New Jersey to partake 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 they forget their 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 their 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 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. We achieve this through two primary means:
- Cookies - We address this concept below in section 8 (‘Our Cookie Policy’). Because we use cookies to store information on your device, we can limit the amount of data that we must retain on our servers. This storage process automates how the data is processed in real-time as you use our website. Our cookie policy also protects you from some of the risks of data breaches.
- Automated Processing - As often as possible, we use automated systems to store, encrypt, and retrieve users’ information. This policy is particularly relevant regarding usernames, passwords, email addresses, and personal information. For example, if you forget your password, the process that will assist you with recovering it is automated. No one on our technical support team will manually access that information in response to a password request.
International Data Transfers
Our policy regarding international transfers addresses the use of your information outside of the European Union. We may allow third parties to access your information in some circumstances, and those parties may reside outside of the European Union.
In other circumstances, we may be required to disclose your information in response to legal requests. We are compelled by law to respond to official requests from law enforcement agencies based on legal regulations and requirements.
In all situations, we strive to preserve your rights regarding your information. As per our policies, we will confirm and verify the legitimacy of any requests originating from law enforcement agencies.
Your Rights as a User
When you visit our website, you have rights as a consumer. We protect your personal data in several ways, knowing that your experience on our website is dependent on our observation and acknowledgement of your rights.

Direct Marketing
In some instances, we may use your data may for direct marketing communications. These communications will be related to the categories of information articulated in section 3 (‘The Data That We Process’). Generally, this information will be used 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.
Most of the time, this marketing will be related to our legally-articulated legitimate interests. As relevant, we will conduct this marketing with your consent. For situations in which the marketing is not relevant to you, based on incorrect information, or otherwise not desired, you may opt out via a restriction or objection to the information that we possess.
Separately, we send our marketing communications with the option to ‘opt out’ from further promotional communication. We will still alert you to information that we are legally obligated to communicate, such as changes to our terms of service.
In all circumstances, we will restrict our marketing communications to a reasonable level. We believe that this communication is mutually beneficial for our users and us, but we also respect nuisance concerns. Based on this understanding, we will keep our direct marketing communication relevant and actionable for your interests based on the data that we possess about you.
The Time Frame During Which We Keep Your Data
In determining how long we retain your data, there are several categories that we use. These categories include:
- 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.
After any mandatory period of data retention, we may voluntarily and unilaterally remove your information. We may take this action to free up storage space or to protect users from potential data theft. Alternately, we may retain the information but fully anonymize it. This policy is especially pertinent to information regarding website usage and demographics.
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.
There are some protected categories of information that we may collect. In some cases, we are required to collect that information in the event that law enforcement agencies request it. These situations generally arise when there is a strong possibility that the information pertains to an ongoing or potential investigation.
