Privacy Policy
Privacy policy for ThePokies AU: analytics, cookies, correction reports and safe handling of complaint evidence.
By Dean Calloway - Updated 2026-07-03
Privacy in plain English
ThePokies AU is a static editorial site. We publish independent, warning-led coverage of an offshore casino, and we do not run any gambling accounts here. That keeps our data footprint small. This page explains, without legal padding, the little we collect and what we do not do with it.
The key thing to understand up front is that no casino account exists on this site. You cannot deposit, log in to ThePokies, or hold a balance through us, so we never see payment details, banking logins or ThePokies account credentials. Anything of that kind stays on the operator's own systems, which are outside our control.
What we collect
Like almost any website, our host records standard server logs when a page loads. These typically include an IP address, the browser type, the page requested and a timestamp. We may also use basic analytics to understand which pages are read, and simple cookies for measurement and affiliate attribution. If you send us a correction or a report through the contact form, we keep the message and whatever details you chose to include so we can act on it.
| Collected | Standard server logs, basic analytics, and any message you send us |
|---|---|
| Not collected | ThePokies logins, passwords, bank details or full ID documents |
| Cookies | Measurement and affiliate attribution only |
| Selling data | We do not sell your data |
How we use and share it
We use this limited data to keep the site working, understand what readers find useful, and respond to reports. We do not sell your data. Analytics and affiliate tools are third-party services with their own policies, and standard hosting logs sit with our provider. Beyond those ordinary arrangements, we do not pass your information around.
If you want to ask what we hold, or ask us to delete a message you sent, use the contact page. Because we collect so little and hold no casino accounts, most requests are quick to handle.
