Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to the website available at australiancasinolist.com (the “Website”). In this Privacy Policy, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the operator of the Website. This Policy explains what information may be collected when you browse the Website, contact us or follow third-party links, and how that information may be used and protected australiancasinolist.com publishes casino reviews, comparisons, bonus information and gambling-related guides. We do not operate an online casino, accept bets, process payments or create gambling accounts. Information submitted directly to a casino or other external website is governed by that third party’s privacy policy. Where Australian privacy legislation applies, we aim to handle personal information consistently with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.

Information we may collect

You can generally read our content without providing your name or other details that directly identify you. The information collected depends on how you use the Website.

Information you provide

When you contact us by email, use a contact form if available, report an error or request a correction, we may receive your name, email address, message, attached files and a record of our correspondence. Do not send payment card details, casino passwords, identity documents, health information or other sensitive data. We do not need such information to answer ordinary Website enquiries.

Information collected automatically

Our hosting, analytics, security or performance tools may record:

IP address and approximate location;
browser, operating system and device type;
pages visited, links selected and time spent on pages;
referring page or traffic source;
access dates and times;
cookie identifiers, error reports and security events.

This information is often used in an aggregated or pseudonymised form. Some technical identifiers may still be personal information where they identify, or can reasonably be linked to, an individual.

How we use information

We may use information to:

operate, maintain and improve the Website;
answer enquiries, feedback and complaints;
understand how visitors use our reviews and guides;
analyse traffic and performance;
identify faults, spam and security threats;
keep administrative and legal records;
comply with lawful requests;
measure referrals and manage affiliate relationships.

We do not use Website information to determine whether a visitor can open a casino account. Identity checks, payments, account controls and responsible gambling measures are handled by the relevant operator.

Cookies and online identifiers

The Website may use cookies, local storage, pixels, tags and similar technologies. These tools may support essential functions, remember preferences, analyse activity, prevent abuse and identify whether a visitor followed an affiliate link. Cookies may expire when you close your browser or remain for a defined period. Some may be placed by third-party providers. You can block or delete cookies through your browser and, where available, adjust them through a Website preference tool. Disabling certain cookies may affect functionality or performance. Further information is available in our Cookies Policy.

Service providers

Third parties may support our hosting, analytics, technical operations and security. They may process technical information on our behalf, subject to their own privacy terms.

Affiliate links and referral data

Some Website links may be affiliate links. When you select one, the destination website or an affiliate network may receive a referral identifier showing that your visit came from australiancasinolist.com. A cookie may be used to attribute a registration or another qualifying action. We may receive a commission from qualifying referrals. Referral data is generally used for attribution, reporting, fraud prevention and commission calculation. Following an affiliate link does not by itself give us access to your casino password, full payment details or complete gambling history.

External websites

The Website links to casino operators, game providers, regulators, support services and other third parties. Once you leave australiancasinolist.com, this Privacy Policy no longer governs your activity. External websites may collect information for account creation, marketing, identity checks, payments and other purposes. Review their privacy policies and terms before providing personal information. We are not responsible for third-party privacy practices, security or content.

Sharing and overseas processing

We may disclose information where reasonably necessary to service providers, professional advisers, affiliate networks, regulators, courts or authorities, a purchaser or successor of the Website, or another party with your consent. Some providers may operate outside Australia, so information may be processed or stored overseas. Where applicable, we take reasonable steps to assess providers and protect overseas disclosures. We do not send personal information to casino operators to create an account. Information submitted after visiting an operator is collected directly by that operator.

Data retention

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary. This may include responding to correspondence, maintaining security logs, resolving disputes, meeting legal obligations and keeping business records. When information is no longer needed, we may delete, de-identify or securely dispose of it. Copies may remain temporarily in protected backups until overwritten through normal retention cycles.

Data security

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards designed to protect information from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure. Measures may include access controls, secure hosting, updates, backups, monitoring and encryption where appropriate. No online system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Avoid sending confidential information by ordinary email and take care when using shared devices or public networks. If a data breach occurs, we will assess it and take appropriate steps. Where applicable law requires it, this may include notifying affected individuals and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.

Your privacy choices and requests

Subject to applicable law, you may contact us to:

ask what personal information we hold about you;
request access to or correction of that information;
request deletion where continued retention is unnecessary;
withdraw consent where processing relies on consent;
raise a privacy concern or complaint.

We may need to verify your identity. A request may be refused or limited where permitted by law, including where disclosure would affect another person or records must be retained. Where required, we will explain our decision. You can also manage cookies through your browser, use available privacy controls and choose not to follow external links.

Marketing communications

We do not send promotional emails unless you request or agree to receive them. Any future marketing message will include an unsubscribe option. Communications from casino operators are governed by their policies, not ours.

Visitors under 18

The Website contains gambling-related material and is intended for people aged 18 or older. We do not knowingly seek personal information from children. If you believe a person under 18 has provided information to us, contact us so we can review and, where appropriate, delete it. Parents and guardians should restrict minors’ access to gambling-related content.

Privacy complaints

Send questions or complaints to the address below with enough detail for us to investigate. Where applicable, an unresolved complaint may also be raised with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when the Website, our providers, technology, legal requirements or information-handling practices change.
