Privacy Policy
Last updated: 14 July 2026BestBetsUK ("we", "us", "our") publishes an independent comparison of UK-licensed online casino brands. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit bestbetsuk.com, how we use it, and the choices available to you. We are not a gambling operator — we do not take bets, process deposits, or hold player funds.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Information you provide directly
If you contact us by email, we collect whatever information you choose to include in that message (such as your name and email address) solely to respond to your enquiry.
1.2 Information collected automatically
Like most websites, we use cookies and similar technologies to understand how the site is used and to track which operator links are clicked. This may include:
- Your IP address and approximate location (country/region level)
- Browser type, device type and operating system
- Pages viewed, time spent on the site, and which "Claim Offer" links you click
- Referring website (how you arrived at bestbetsuk.com)
| Cookie type | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Basic site functionality | Session |
| Analytics | Understand aggregate site usage | Up to 24 months |
| Affiliate tracking | Record which operator link you followed, so the operator can attribute the referral to us | Up to 30 days |
2. How We Use Your Information
- To operate and improve this site
- To understand which comparisons and offers are useful to visitors
- To attribute referrals to gambling operators through affiliate tracking links (this is how the site is funded — see our advertiser disclosure)
- To respond to enquiries sent to us directly
We do not sell personal data to third parties. We do not use your data to make decisions about your creditworthiness, employment, or insurance.
3. Third-Party Links and Operators
We encourage you to review each operator's privacy policy directly on their site, particularly regarding age verification and identity checks required under UK Gambling Commission rules.
4. Legal Basis and Your Rights (UK GDPR)
Where we process personal data, we rely on legitimate interest (to operate and fund an informational comparison service) or your consent (for non-essential cookies). Under UK data protection law, you have the right to:
- Request access to the personal data we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your data
- Object to or restrict certain processing
- Withdraw cookie consent at any time via your browser settings
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
5. Data Retention & Storage
Analytics and tracking data is retained only as long as necessary for the purposes described above, typically no longer than 24 months. Our site is hosted on third-party infrastructure (Netlify), which may process data on servers outside the UK; where this occurs, it is covered by that provider's own standard contractual safeguards.
6. Age Restriction
This site is intended for individuals aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided us with information, please contact us so we can remove it.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date above.
8. Contact Us
