Privacy Policy

Last updated: 30.08.26

CasinoWorld respects your privacy and takes reasonable steps to handle personal data responsibly. This Privacy Policy sets out how we collect, use, store and share information when you visit or use this website, and it’s written in line with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Irish Data Protection Act 2018.

CasinoWorld is the data controller for the purposes of this Policy. By continuing to use the Site, you’re accepting the practices described below. If anything here isn’t clear, get in touch using the details in Section 14.

You don’t need to give us any personal information just to browse the Site. That said, if you reach out to us directly — for example through a contact form, a comment, or a newsletter sign-up — we’ll typically end up with your name, email address, country, and whatever else you choose to tell us in your message.

Alongside that, our servers automatically log some technical information every time the Site is accessed: your IP address, browser and device details, the pages you view, how long you spend on them, when you visited, and where you came from. None of this identifies you directly, but it does help us understand how people actually use the Site and where things could work better.

We don’t collect sensitive categories of data — things like health information, religious beliefs, sexual orientation or political views — and we have no reason to ask for them.

Some of it comes straight from you, when you contact us or subscribe to something. The rest is gathered automatically through cookies and similar tools as you browse (more on that in Section 5), or via analytics partners who help us track how the Site performs.

We put this data to fairly ordinary uses: keeping the Site running and improving it, replying to messages, sending newsletters if you’ve opted in, spotting unusual or abusive activity, and meeting whatever legal obligations apply to us. We don’t run any automated profiling that would have a legal or otherwise significant effect on you.

Under GDPR we can only process personal data where we have a proper legal footing to do so. In practice that means one of the following applies: you’ve given consent (for instance, by subscribing to our emails), the processing serves a legitimate business interest that doesn’t override your rights, it’s needed to meet a legal obligation, or it’s necessary to deliver something you’ve asked us for. Where we’re relying on consent, you’re free to withdraw it whenever you like — that won’t affect anything we did before you withdrew it.

If you sign up for updates from us, we may send you emails about content, offers or services we think you’d find relevant. You can stop this at any time by clicking “unsubscribe” at the bottom of any marketing email, or by contacting us directly. We won’t use your details for marketing beyond what you’ve actually agreed to.

Cookies are small files stored on your device when you visit a site, and we use a handful of them to keep things running smoothly:

Your browser lets you view, block or delete cookies whenever you want. Turning some of them off is fine, but it may make parts of the Site behave a bit worse.

We use outside services — Google Analytics being the obvious example — to see how the Site is performing and where visitors are dropping off. These providers process data under their own privacy policies, acting as separate data controllers for that data. Anyone we bring in to help run the Site is contractually required to keep your data secure and handle it lawfully.

You’ll find links on the Site to third parties, including casinos and other gambling operators. Once you click through, our Privacy Policy stops applying — what happens on their site is governed by their own terms and privacy practices, which we have no control over and can’t vouch for. Worth a read before you hand over any information there.

We’re upfront about this: CasinoWorld earns money through affiliate partnerships, meaning we may get a commission if you click through to a casino and sign up or deposit. It costs you nothing extra, and it doesn’t shape how we rate or review anything — our recommendations are based on our own research and testing, not on which operator pays the most.

We don’t sell or trade your personal data, full stop. We do share it in a few limited situations: with service providers who help us run the Site (hosting, email delivery, analytics, that sort of thing), when the law requires it, or to protect our rights or the security of the Site. If the business itself were ever sold or restructured, personal data could be transferred as part of that, and we’d let you know if it meant a material change to this Policy.

Some of the tools and providers we rely on are based outside the European Economic Area. Where that’s the case, we make sure the transfer is covered by an adequate legal mechanism — an EU adequacy decision, Standard Contractual Clauses, or another approved safeguard — so your data stays protected wherever it ends up.

We hold on to personal data only for as long as it’s actually needed for the purposes described here, or for as long as the law requires. Once it’s no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it.

If GDPR applies to you, you have the right to ask what data we hold on you, correct anything that’s wrong, have it deleted, restrict how we use it, get a copy in a portable format, object to certain processing, or withdraw consent you’ve previously given. Send us a message using the contact details below and we’ll get back to you — normally within a month, as GDPR requires.

If you’re not happy with how we’ve handled a request, you can complain to the Data Protection Commission (DPC), Ireland’s supervisory authority, at dataprotection.ie — though we’d appreciate the chance to sort things out directly first.

We take reasonable technical and organisational precautions to protect the data we hold — secure hosting, encryption where it’s warranted, and limiting who on our end can access what. That said, no system is completely bulletproof, and we can’t promise absolute security for anything sent over the internet.

CasinoWorld is a gambling review and information site meant for adults aged 18 and over. We don’t knowingly collect data from anyone younger than that, and if we ever discover we have, we’ll delete it straight away. Parents concerned about gambling content reaching younger users should look into parental control software.

We may update this Policy occasionally as our practices or legal obligations change. Whenever we do, we’ll update the date at the top of the page, so it’s worth checking back now and then.

Questions, complaints, or requests about your data — email us at [email protected] and we’ll respond as soon as we reasonably can.
