Privacy Policy

Welcome to Duelz Casino — an independent, informational iGaming and affiliate resource operating under UK law. This Privacy Policy sets out how we approach the collection, use, and protection of information when you visit our website. As an informational platform, we do not operate as a gambling operator, nor do we process financial transactions or manage user accounts on behalf of any casino.

Our website is designed to help users in the United Kingdom find relevant iGaming content, casino reviews, and promotional information. By accessing any section of this site, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the terms described below. We encourage you to review this document periodically, as it may be updated to reflect changes in applicable legislation or our operational practices.

Information We Gather When You Browse

As an informational website, we do not require visitors to register, create an account, or submit any personally identifying information. However, certain non-personal technical data is collected automatically through standard web server processes and analytics tools. This includes your browser type, operating system, referring URL, approximate geographic region (at country or city level), and session duration.

We also receive aggregated behavioural data that helps us understand how users interact with pages — such as which sections receive the most engagement, how long visitors spend reading content, and which navigation paths are most commonly taken. This data is statistical in nature and cannot be used to identify you individually. No form submissions, email inputs, or user-generated data are collected unless you contact us voluntarily through our designated communication channels.

In cases where you engage with embedded third-party tools — such as video players, interactive widgets, or comparison tables powered by external services — those providers may collect their own usage data subject to their respective privacy policies. We do not control the data practices of such third parties, and we encourage you to review their documentation independently.

How We Use Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. Our site employs cookies to ensure proper functionality, gather anonymised analytics data, and manage affiliate tracking where applicable. We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal information, and no data gathered through cookies is sold to third parties for commercial marketing purposes.

The table below summarises the main categories of cookies present on our website:

You have the right to manage or withdraw your consent to non-essential cookies at any time. Most modern browsers allow you to block, delete, or restrict cookies through their settings menus. Please be aware that disabling certain cookies may affect the performance or appearance of some site features. For detailed guidance on managing your preferences, refer to these authoritative resources:

• www.youronlinechoices.com — a consumer-facing tool that lets you opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies operating across Europe.
• www.allaboutcookies.org — a comprehensive independent guide explaining what cookies are, how they work, and how to control them across different browsers and devices.

Purposes for Which We Process Collected Data

The non-personal data we gather is processed exclusively for legitimate operational and analytical purposes. Analytics information helps us evaluate which content is performing well, identify technical issues affecting page speed or accessibility, and refine our editorial direction so that it better serves the interests of UK-based visitors.

Where affiliate tracking is active, click-through data is used to attribute referrals to partner brands correctly and to comply with our contractual obligations under affiliate programme agreements. This data does not include personal identifiers and is processed in bulk rather than on an individual basis. We do not use this data to build profiles about individual users.

Security monitoring is another area where limited data processing occurs. Our systems may log IP addresses transiently to detect and mitigate unusual traffic patterns, automated scraping, or potential threats to site integrity. These logs are not retained beyond the period necessary for security purposes and are not cross-referenced with other datasets to identify individuals.

We may also use aggregated engagement metrics to inform relationships with content partners or advertisers at a high level — for example, to describe audience size or general geographic distribution. Individual-level data is never shared in this context.

Legal Grounds for Data Processing Under UK GDPR

All processing activities carried out through this website are grounded in one or more of the lawful bases established under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), as retained in domestic law via the Data Protection Act 2018. We rely primarily on legitimate interests for analytics and security processing, where the benefits to users and the website outweigh any minimal privacy impact. Where non-essential cookies are deployed — particularly those used for affiliate tracking or performance measurement — we rely on consent, obtained through our cookie consent mechanism on first visit.

We do not process special category data, children’s data (see the dedicated section below), or any information that would require us to appoint a Data Protection Officer under Article 37 of the UK GDPR. Our processing activities are proportionate, limited in scope, and reviewed periodically to ensure ongoing compliance with applicable data protection law.

For authoritative information about your rights and our obligations, the following official resources are highly recommended:

• ICO – UK GDPR Guidance and Resources — the Information Commissioner’s Office provides comprehensive, plain-language guidance on how UK GDPR applies to websites and organisations.
• Data Protection Act 2018 – Full Legislation — the primary UK statute governing data processing, available in full via legislation.gov.uk.

Third-Party Services and External Platforms

Our website integrates with a number of reputable third-party platforms to deliver essential functionality. Google Analytics is our primary tool for measuring audience behaviour and content performance. Data collected by Google Analytics is anonymised at the point of collection and processed in accordance with Google’s own privacy documentation. IP anonymisation is enabled on our implementation. For details, refer to Google’s Privacy Policy.

Cloudflare is used to provide content delivery, DDoS protection, and performance optimisation. Cloudflare may temporarily process connection metadata, including IP addresses, as part of its traffic routing and security functions. This processing is governed by Cloudflare’s privacy commitments, which are aligned with global data protection standards. More information is available at Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy.

As an iGaming informational resource, we may reference or link to operators licensed by the UK Gambling Commission, the official regulatory body responsible for licensing and oversight of gambling activities in Great Britain. The UK Gambling Commission maintains its own data handling practices independent of our website, and we are not responsible for the privacy conduct of any operator we discuss editorially.

We also engage with affiliate network providers who supply tracking infrastructure for referral links. These providers operate under data processing agreements and are required to handle data in a manner consistent with UK GDPR requirements. No personally identifiable data is transferred to these providers without appropriate safeguards.

Affiliate Links and Commercial Relationships

This website contains affiliate links — hyperlinks that, when clicked, may direct you to a third-party gambling operator, software provider, or iGaming service. If you visit a partner site through one of these links and subsequently register or make a purchase, we may receive a commission or referral fee at no additional cost to you. This is a standard practice within the iGaming affiliate industry and is how informational platforms like ours generate revenue to fund content production.

The presence of an affiliate relationship does not influence our editorial assessments or reviews. Our team applies consistent evaluation criteria regardless of whether a commercial arrangement exists. However, in the interest of transparency, we disclose that some content on this site may be written with the purpose of directing traffic to partner operators, and you should bear this in mind when reading promotional material.

Affiliate tracking operates via cookies and URL parameters that record your click at the point of departure from our site. This data is used solely for commission attribution and is not combined with any personal data that could identify you. You can opt out of affiliate tracking cookies through the cookie preference controls available on this site.

Data Security Measures

We take appropriate technical and organisational steps to safeguard the data processed through this website. Our site is served exclusively over HTTPS, using SSL/TLS encryption to protect data in transit between your browser and our servers. This encryption ensures that any information exchanged during your visit — including page requests and cookie transmissions — cannot be intercepted by third parties.

Access to server-level data and analytics dashboards is restricted to authorised personnel only, governed by strong authentication protocols. We apply the principle of data minimisation throughout our operations, meaning we collect only the information that is genuinely necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy. Excessive or redundant data is not retained.

Retention of Data and Cookie Lifespan

Because we do not collect personal data through forms or registrations, there is no personally identifiable information stored in our systems that would require active deletion. Analytics data is retained in aggregated, anonymised form for a maximum of 26 months, in line with Google Analytics default settings. Server-side access logs containing transient IP data are retained for no longer than 30 days before being purged.

Cookie lifespans vary by type, as detailed in the cookie table above. Strictly necessary cookies expire at the end of your browsing session, whilst analytics and affiliate cookies may persist for up to two years depending on configuration. You may delete cookies from your device at any time using your browser’s built-in tools, and doing so will reset any consent preferences previously recorded.

Where we are required by law or legitimate business necessity to retain certain records — for example, evidence of cookie consent logs — we retain only the minimum data required and store it securely for no longer than the applicable legal retention period.

Your Rights as a Data Subject

Under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, you hold a number of enforceable rights in relation to your personal data. Although our site collects minimal personal information, we are committed to honouring these rights in full. The rights available to you include:

1. Right of Access — you may request confirmation of whether we hold personal data about you and obtain a copy of that data.
2. Right to Rectification — if any data we hold about you is inaccurate, you may request that it be corrected.
3. Right to Erasure — you may ask us to delete personal data we hold, subject to any legal obligations that require us to retain it.
4. Right to Restrict Processing — in certain circumstances, you may ask us to pause processing of your data while a complaint or query is resolved.
5. Right to Data Portability — where processing is based on consent or contract, you may request your data in a structured, commonly used format.
6. Right to Object — you may object to processing based on legitimate interests, including any profiling derived from such processing.
7. Right to Withdraw Consent — where processing relies on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this document. We will respond to all valid requests within one calendar month. If you are unsatisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK’s independent data protection authority.

Commitment to Protecting Younger Audiences

This website is intended exclusively for adults aged 18 years and over. iGaming content, including casino reviews, bonus comparisons, and operator information, is not suitable for minors. We do not knowingly collect data from, or direct content towards, individuals under the age of 18. If you are under 18, please leave this site immediately.

We do not employ any marketing practices designed to attract underage users, and we do not partner with platforms whose content is primarily directed at children. Should we become aware that a minor has accessed our site or submitted any data, we will take immediate steps to delete the relevant information and, where applicable, report the matter to the appropriate authority.

For information on tools that help parents and guardians block access to gambling-related content, we recommend consulting resources provided by GamCare, a leading UK organisation supporting responsible gambling and the protection of vulnerable individuals, including minors.

Responsibility Regarding External Websites

Our website contains editorial links to third-party websites, including licensed casino operators, software developers, payment providers, and regulatory bodies. These links are provided for informational and navigational purposes only. Once you leave our site by clicking an external link, you are subject to the privacy policy and terms of the destination website, over which we have no control or influence.

We make reasonable efforts to link only to reputable, authoritative sources; however, we cannot continuously monitor every external site and cannot accept responsibility for their content, data practices, or legal compliance. We strongly encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party site you visit before providing any personal information.

Amendments to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update, amend, or replace this Privacy Policy at any time, in response to changes in UK legislation, shifts in our operational model, or updates to third-party integrations that affect how data is processed. Any material changes will be reflected by updating the effective date noted at the top of this document.

We recommend that returning visitors review this page periodically to stay informed of any modifications. Continued use of the website following the publication of an updated Privacy Policy constitutes acceptance of those changes. Where required by law, we will seek renewed consent for materially different processing activities.
