Purpose and Legal Basis
We process cookies based on your consent and our legitimate interests in providing secure, reliable gaming services. Our legal basis includes compliance with Australian gaming regulations, fraud prevention, and delivering personalised experiences that enhance your gaming journey. We collect data through cookies to verify your identity, process transactions securely, and maintain detailed records as required by Australian gaming authorities.
The processing of personal data through cookies is essential for maintaining the integrity of our gaming platform and ensuring compliance with responsible gambling initiatives mandated by Australian state and territory gaming regulators.
Session and Persistent Cookies
Session cookies are temporary files that expire when you close your browser. These cookies maintain your login status, track your current gaming session, and ensure continuity of gameplay. They are essential for security purposes and prevent unauthorised access to your gaming account.
Persistent cookies remain on your device for predetermined periods and help us remember your preferences, language settings, and gaming history across multiple visits. These cookies enhance user convenience by eliminating the need to repeatedly enter the same information and provide personalised game recommendations based on your playing patterns.
Third-Party Cookies
Our platform integrates with trusted third-party service providers who may set their own cookies when you interact with their services through our website. These partners include payment processors, game developers, security providers, and marketing platforms. Third-party cookies are subject to their respective privacy policies and cookie practices.
We carefully select partners who comply with Australian privacy standards and international data protection requirements. You can review the cookie policies of our partners through links provided in our privacy policy or by visiting their websites directly.

Cookie retention periods vary based on their purpose and type. Essential cookies typically expire at the end of your browsing session, while functional and preference cookies may remain active for up to twelve months. Analytics and marketing cookies generally have shorter retention periods, typically ranging from thirty to ninety days.
We regularly review and update our cookie retention practices to ensure minimal data collection while maintaining service quality. Expired cookies are automatically removed from your device according to predetermined schedules that align with Australian privacy principles.
