Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Gambling Meter handles information when you visit gamblingmeter.net, follow a link from the site, or contact us. It is written for this website’s current information and comparison service. Gambling Meter does not offer player accounts, accept wagers, hold gambling balances, or process deposits and withdrawals.

The short version is that you can read the public site without creating a Gambling Meter account. Like most websites, the hosting and security infrastructure may process technical request information needed to deliver and protect the site. If you email us, we receive the information you choose to include. When you leave Gambling Meter for another website, that third party applies its own privacy practices.

Information you provide directly

You provide information to us when you send an email or otherwise communicate with Gambling Meter. That information may include your:

• name or email address;
• message and subject line;
• correction request or editorial feedback;
• attachments and any information visible inside them; and
• other details you voluntarily include.

We use contact information to read and route the message, investigate the issue described, respond where appropriate, maintain a record of material corrections or requests, and protect the website and our communications from abuse.

Do not send passwords, one-time codes, full payment-card details, bank credentials, identity documents, crypto wallet recovery phrases, or gambling-account credentials. Gambling Meter cannot access or administer accounts held by casinos, sportsbooks, poker sites, banks, or payment providers.

Technical information processed when you visit

When a browser requests a webpage, technical information is normally transmitted so the request can reach the correct server and the page can be returned. Our hosting, content-delivery, security, and logging infrastructure may process information such as:

• Internet Protocol address;
• requested URL, date, and time;
• browser and device type;
• operating system and language settings;
• referring page, where a browser supplies it;
• general network or geographic routing information; and
• security and diagnostic events.

This information may be used to deliver the site, select content that is available for a broad region, maintain reliability, diagnose errors, prevent malicious traffic, and understand aggregate site performance. Technical logs are not the same as a Gambling Meter player profile, and the site does not provide a logged-in reader account.

Infrastructure providers may retain operational or security logs under their own service settings and legal obligations. Exact retention can vary by log type and provider. We do not promise a single retention period that would be inaccurate across every operational system.

Cookies and similar browser technologies

At the date shown above, Gambling Meter’s public content does not require readers to register for an account or maintain a gambling balance with us. The site may rely on infrastructure, browser storage, or similar technologies where they are necessary for delivery, security, diagnostics, or features that are added or changed over time.

A cookie is information that a website asks a browser to store and return with later requests. Browsers generally let you inspect, block, or delete cookies. Blocking a technology that is necessary for security or a requested feature may affect how that feature works.

Third-party sites reached through our links may use their own cookies, pixels, software development kits, or other tracking methods. Gambling Meter does not control those technologies after you leave our domain. Review the privacy and cookie information on the destination site before creating an account or providing personal information.

Affiliate and outbound-link information

Some links on Gambling Meter are affiliate links. A link may first pass through a local Gambling Meter redirect route so that the destination can receive non-sensitive referral context, such as the referring site, page path, page label, or campaign reference. The redirect service then sends the browser to a third-party destination.

Following an affiliate link does not create a gambling account with Gambling Meter. The destination operator or service provider decides what information it collects when its page loads, when you register, or when you complete another action. Its privacy policy and terms govern that activity.

Gambling Meter may receive aggregated reporting about referrals or qualifying actions from commercial partners. Such reporting supports attribution and evaluation of our commercial relationships. We do not need your casino password, full payment details, or wallet recovery information for affiliate attribution, and you should never provide those items to us.

How information may be used

Depending on the context, information handled for Gambling Meter may be used to:

• provide requested pages and website functions;
• maintain security and prevent misuse;
• diagnose outages, errors, and broken links;
• respond to messages and privacy requests;
• research and correct published content;
• understand broad traffic and referral performance;
• enforce our Terms of Use; and
• meet applicable legal obligations.

We do not claim that technical request data is anonymous in every context. An IP address or a combination of device and request details may be capable of identifying or singling out a device or person, depending on how it is used and combined with other information.

When information may be shared

Information may be processed by vendors that help operate the website and communications, such as hosting, content-delivery, security, email, and technical-service providers. They receive information relevant to the service they provide.

Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to investigate abuse, protect rights or safety, respond to valid legal process, or support a business reorganization involving the website. If ownership or operation of Gambling Meter changes, relevant records may transfer as part of that change, subject to applicable requirements.

Following an external or affiliate link sends your browser to another organization. That transfer is part of the action you requested, and the destination’s own policy governs its subsequent collection and use.

Data retention

We aim to keep information only for as long as it remains reasonably useful for the purpose for which it was handled, including responding to a message, documenting a material correction, maintaining security, resolving a dispute, or complying with applicable requirements.

Retention varies by category. Routine technical logs may follow infrastructure settings, while an editorial correction record may need to remain available to explain why published material changed. Email correspondence may remain in business mail systems unless it is deleted under ordinary retention practices or in response to an appropriate request.

Security

We use reasonable operational measures intended to protect the site and the information handled through it. No website, email system, transmission method, or storage service can be guaranteed completely secure. Email is particularly unsuitable for unnecessary financial, identity, or account credentials.

If you believe you have found a security issue, email support@gamblingmeter.net with a clear description. Do not exploit the issue, access information that is not yours, or include sensitive third-party data in a report.

Children and legal gambling age

Gambling Meter is written for adults and is not directed to children. Gambling content should only be used by people who meet the legal gambling age where they are located. We do not knowingly offer child accounts because we do not offer reader accounts at all.

If you believe a child has sent personal information directly to us, contact privacy@gamblingmeter.net and explain what was submitted so that the request can be reviewed.

Your choices and requests

Depending on where you live and the circumstances, you may have rights or choices concerning personal information. You may contact us to ask about information you directly provided, request a correction, or request deletion where appropriate.

Email privacy@gamblingmeter.net with the subject “Privacy Request.” Describe the request and identify the email address used in earlier correspondence. We may need to confirm that the requester is the person concerned or is authorized to act for that person. We will not ask for more verification information than is reasonably necessary for the request.

Browser controls may allow you to delete or restrict cookies and other stored site data. Those controls apply on your device. For information held by a casino, sportsbook, poker operator, affiliate destination, payment service, or other third party, contact that organization directly.

External websites

Gambling Meter links to sites we do not operate. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, security, content, or account procedures. A link does not extend this Privacy Policy to the destination. Read the destination’s privacy policy before registering, depositing, or sending personal information.

Changes to this policy

We may revise this policy when the site, its service providers, or relevant practices change. The updated date at the top shows when this version was last materially reviewed. Material changes will be published on this page. Using the site after an update does not remove any rights that cannot lawfully be waived.
