Privacy Policy: Your Data Explained

This privacy policy explains how Betting Sites Not on GamStop collects, uses, and protects your personal data when you visit this website. We’ve written it in plain English so you know exactly where you stand — no legal jargon, no small print surprises.

This site is informational only. We publish independent reviews and guides about offshore bookmakers that operate outside the GamStop self-exclusion scheme. We do not hold a UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) licence, and we do not accept bets or process payments of any kind.

Who We Are

We are the editorial team behind Betting Sites Not on GamStop. For any questions about how we handle your data, or to exercise your rights under UK GDPR, please contact us at [email protected]. We aim to respond within 30 days.

What Data We Collect and Why

1. Cookies and Analytics

When you browse our site, we use cookies and Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our pages — which guides are most read, how long people spend on a page, and where traffic comes from. This data is aggregated and anonymised; it does not identify you personally.

Google Analytics stores data on Google’s servers. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at any time using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

We also use functional cookies that remember your cookie consent preference so we don’t ask you every time you visit.

2. Cookie Consent

When you first arrive on the site, a cookie banner asks for your consent before any non-essential cookies are set. You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or manage your preferences individually. You can change your cookie settings at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site.

3. Contact Form Submissions

If you use our contact form to get in touch, we collect your name and email address so we can reply to you. We do not add you to any mailing list without your explicit consent, and we do not share contact form data with third parties.

4. Affiliate Tracking Links

Many of the bookmaker links on this site are affiliate links. This means that if you click a link and register or deposit at an offshore bookmaker, we may receive a commission from that operator. This is how we fund our editorial work.

Here is what that means for your data: when you click an affiliate link, a tracking cookie or URL parameter is passed to the bookmaker’s website. This lets the affiliate network confirm that your visit came from us. The data shared is typically a session identifier — not your name, email, or payment details. The bookmaker and affiliate network handle that data under their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to read before registering.

Affiliate networks we work with may include platforms such as Income Access, MyAffiliates, or similar. Each network operates its own data processing arrangements.

5. Third-Party Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. The third parties that may receive limited data as a result of your visit are:

  • Google Analytics — anonymised browsing behaviour for site analytics.
  • Affiliate networks — session-level tracking data when you click a bookmaker link.
  • Hosting and CDN providers — your IP address may be logged temporarily as part of standard server operation.

We do not share your contact form data, email address, or any directly identifying information with advertisers or third-party marketers.

Your Rights Under UK GDPR

Because we operate within the UK, we follow the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) as overseen by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). You have the following rights:

  • Right of access — you can ask us what data we hold about you.
  • Right to deletion — you can ask us to delete any personal data we hold about you.
  • Right to correction — if data we hold is inaccurate, you can ask us to correct it.
  • Right to opt out — you can withdraw consent for analytics cookies at any time.
  • Right to complain — if you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can lodge a complaint with the ICO at ico.org.uk.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days and will not charge you for reasonable requests.

Data Retention

Contact form data is retained for up to 12 months and then deleted. Analytics data is retained in line with Google Analytics’ default retention settings (up to 26 months). Server logs are typically retained for 30 days by our hosting provider.

External Links

Our site links to offshore bookmakers licensed under jurisdictions such as Curaçao or Anjouan. Once you leave our site, their privacy policies apply. We are not responsible for how third-party sites collect or use your data.

Children

This site is intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted data through our contact form, please contact us at [email protected] and we will delete it promptly.

Responsible Gambling

We take responsible gambling seriously. If you are concerned about your gambling habits, free and confidential support is available from BeGambleAware, GamCare (helpline: 0808 8020 133), Gambling Therapy, and NHS Gambling Clinics. Many offshore bookmakers also offer voluntary deposit limits, session reminders, and self-exclusion tools — we encourage you to use them.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The date at the bottom of this page shows when it was last revised. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
