Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit our website. These files contain information that helps us provide you with a personalised gaming experience and ensure our platform operates efficiently. Cookies may store your preferences, login information, and other data that enhances your interaction with our gaming services. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage objects that serve comparable functions in tracking and improving user experience on our platform.
Types of Cookies We Use
We employ various categories of cookies to support different aspects of our gaming platform and services:
- Essential cookies that are necessary for basic website functionality and security
- Performance cookies that collect anonymous data about how visitors use our site
- Functionality cookies that remember your preferences and personalise your experience
- Targeting cookies that deliver relevant advertisements based on your interests
- Gaming session cookies that maintain your game progress and account status
- Security cookies that protect against fraudulent activities and unauthorised access

Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are crucial for the basic operation of our gaming platform and cannot be disabled without significantly impacting your user experience. These cookies enable core functionalities such as secure login procedures, account authentication, payment processing, and maintaining your gaming session. They also ensure compliance with Australian gaming regulations by verifying age restrictions and implementing responsible gambling measures. Without these essential cookies, many features of our platform would not function properly, including access to your player account and the ability to participate in gaming activities.
Performance and Analytics Cookies
Performance cookies collect aggregated information about how users interact with our gaming platform, helping us identify popular games, common user pathways, and areas for improvement. These cookies track metrics such as page loading times, error rates, and user engagement patterns without identifying individual users. Analytics cookies provide deeper insights into user behaviour, enabling us to optimise game offerings, enhance website performance, and develop new features that align with player preferences. This data is essential for maintaining a competitive and user-friendly gaming environment in the Australian market.
Functionality and Personalisation Cookies
Functionality cookies enhance your gaming experience by remembering your preferences and settings across sessions. These cookies store information such as your preferred language, currency selection, game categories, betting limits, and display preferences. They enable features like quick game access, personalised game recommendations, and customised dashboard layouts. Personalisation cookies help create a tailored gaming environment that reflects your individual preferences and playing history, making your return visits more convenient and enjoyable while supporting responsible gambling practices through personalised limit settings.
Third-Party Cookies
Our platform may include third-party cookies from trusted partners and service providers who assist in delivering our gaming services. These may include payment processors, game developers, customer support systems, and marketing platforms. Third-party cookies are subject to the respective privacy policies of these external providers, and we carefully select partners who comply with Australian privacy and data protection standards. Some third-party cookies may track your activity across multiple websites to provide targeted advertising or enhanced security features, and you can manage these through your browser settings or third-party preference centres.
Cookie Duration and Storage
Cookies on our platform have varying lifespans depending on their purpose and function. Session cookies are temporary and are automatically deleted when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain on your device for predetermined periods or until manually deleted. Gaming session cookies typically last for the duration of your active play session, while preference cookies may persist for several months to maintain your personalised settings. Security and authentication cookies may have extended durations to provide ongoing protection, but we regularly review and update cookie expiration periods to balance functionality with privacy considerations in accordance with Australian data protection principles.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have control over cookie usage on our platform through various methods and settings. Most web browsers allow you to manage cookie preferences through their settings menus, where you can block, delete, or restrict certain types of cookies. However, please note that disabling essential cookies may limit your ability to access certain features or participate in gaming activities. We also provide cookie preference tools within your account settings where you can customise your experience while maintaining platform functionality. You can update these preferences at any time to reflect your current privacy and personalisation requirements.

Impact of Disabling Cookies
While you have the right to disable or restrict cookies, doing so may significantly impact your gaming experience on our platform. Disabling essential cookies may prevent you from logging into your account, accessing games, or completing financial transactions. Performance cookies help us identify and resolve technical issues, so blocking them may result in slower loading times or reduced functionality.

We recommend maintaining essential cookies while customising other categories based on your privacy preferences and gaming needs.

We may periodically update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our practices, technology developments, or regulatory requirements in Australia. When significant changes occur, we will notify users through prominent website notices or email communications to registered players.
