Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how and why we use them, and the choices you have when you visit our website (the “Site”). Cookies help the Site work properly, load faster, stay secure, and remember your preferences, so you can focus on the fun parts, like finding legit, state-regulated online casinos and games.

By using the Site, you agree that cookies may be placed on your device as described below, unless you disable them using your browser settings or (where available) our cookie preference tools.

Cookies, Explained in Plain English

A “cookie” is a small text file a website stores on your computer, phone, or tablet when you visit. Cookies let the Site recognize your browser, remember certain choices you make, and support features like page navigation, fraud prevention, and analytics.

Cookies do not typically store information like your name or payment details by themselves. Instead, they often store an identifier that helps the Site “remember” your device or browser.

Why We Use Cookies (Function, Security, Speed, and Better UX)

We use cookies to support a safer, smoother, and more helpful browsing experience. Depending on the cookie, it may be used to:

• Keep the Site stable and secure, including protecting against suspicious traffic and abuse
• Make pages load faster and perform reliably on desktop and mobile
• Remember settings like language, region, and cookie preferences
• Understand how visitors use the Site, so we can improve content, navigation, and performance
• Measure which pages and topics players find most useful (for example, bonus guides, game tips, or casino comparisons)
• Support advertising and marketing measurement, where applicable, including limiting how often you see the same ad

The Main Types of Cookies We May Use

Cookies generally fall into a few categories. Not every cookie will be used on every visit, and some may only apply in specific situations.

“Must-Have” Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are required for the Site to function. They help with core features like page navigation, load balancing, and security protections.

If you block essential cookies, parts of the Site may not work correctly, and some pages may not load as intended.

Preference and Functional Cookies That Remember Your Choices

Functional cookies help the Site remember your settings, so you do not have to reselect them each time you visit. For example, these cookies may remember:

Your cookie preferences, basic display settings, or other choices that make the experience more convenient.

Disabling these cookies may mean the Site still works, but it will feel less personalized.

Performance and Analytics Cookies That Help Us Improve

Performance cookies (including analytics cookies) help us understand how visitors use the Site. They show us things like which pages are visited most, which links get clicked, how long pages take to load, and whether users run into errors.

We use this information to improve content, fix issues, and make the Site easier to use. These cookies are not meant to identify you directly, but they may collect technical data like your device type, browser, approximate location (such as city or state), and how you interact with pages.

Marketing Cookies and Advertising Measurement (When Applicable)

Marketing cookies help measure the effectiveness of campaigns and may be used to show relevant ads based on your activity on the Site and across other websites. They can also help prevent you from seeing the same ad repeatedly and help us understand which content led you to a partner offer.

If you disable marketing cookies, you may still see ads, but they may be less relevant, and some measurement may be limited.

Session Cookies vs Persistent Cookies - What’s the Difference?

Some cookies are “session cookies,” which means they expire when you close your browser. Others are “persistent cookies,” which stay on your device for a set period or until you delete them. Persistent cookies are often used to remember preferences or support long-term analytics.

Third-Party Cookies and Tools We Might Use

Some cookies may be set by third parties that provide services to us. For example, third-party services may help us with:

Website analytics and performance measurement Advertising delivery and reporting Embedded content (such as videos or interactive elements)

These third parties may place cookies or use similar technologies under their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing those providers’ policies if you want more detail on how they handle data.

Your Choices: How to Manage, Disable, or Delete Cookies

You can control cookies in a few ways:

1. Browser settings Most browsers let you block cookies, delete existing cookies, or control cookie behavior site-by-site. Look for cookie controls in your browser’s “Settings,” “Privacy,” or “Security” menu.
2. Device controls On some mobile devices, you can limit tracking or reset advertising identifiers through your device’s privacy settings.
3. Cookie preference tools (if available on the Site) If we provide a cookie banner or preference center, you can use it to accept, reject, or customize non-essential cookies.

If you delete cookies, you may need to reselect your preferences the next time you visit. If you block cookies entirely, some features may break, pages may not display correctly, and certain tools (like preference saving) may not work.

Consent and Legal Basis for Cookie Use

Where required by law, we ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies (such as analytics or marketing cookies). Essential cookies may still be used because they are necessary for the Site to operate.

If you change your mind, you can update your cookie choices at any time using your browser controls and, where available, the Site’s cookie settings.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is no universally accepted standard for how websites must respond to these signals, the Site may not respond to “Do Not Track” in a consistent way across all browsers.

How Cookie Choices Can Affect Your Experience

Blocking cookies can impact how the Site functions. For example:

• Pages may load more slowly or display incorrectly
• Preferences may not save (like cookie selections or display settings)
• Some security checks may fail, and the Site may limit access to protect users
• We may have less insight into what content needs improvement, which can slow down future site updates

Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or how the Site operates. When we make updates, we will revise the policy text on this page, and the changes will apply from the time they are posted.

If you want to understand how we handle personal information more broadly, you can also review our privacy-related guidance linked from relevant areas of the Site, including our main homepage.
