Privacy on this site: what is collected, what is passed on, and what we do not want

This site has no accounts, no logins and nothing to sign up for. What it does have is a redirect layer that passes a tracking reference to an operator when you click through — which is how it is funded, and which almost no site of this kind explains. This page sets out what happens with your data here in plain terms, including the parts that are less flattering.

No accounts, no sign-upAffiliate tracking explainedWe never want your PIN

The short version

If you read nothing else on this page, read this.

  1. You can read every page here without giving us anything. There is no registration and no newsletter.
  2. Our server and the network in front of it keep ordinary technical logs, as any website does.
  3. When you click through to an operator, a tracking reference goes with you. That is how we are paid and it is explained in full below.
  4. If you email us, we have your email and whatever you put in it, for as long as it is useful.
  5. We never want, ask for or store a wallet PIN, a password, a one-time code or an identity document. No legitimate site or operator asks you for a PIN.

What this site collects

Less than most sites, because there is less to collect.

WhatWhy it existsWhat it means for you
Server and network logsAutomatic. Any web request records an address, a timestamp, the page requested and the browser’s own description of itself.Standard for every website in the world. Used to keep the site running and to see which pages are read, not to build a profile of you.
A content delivery and security layerThe site sits behind a network that filters malicious traffic and serves pages faster.That provider necessarily sees requests as they pass through, under its own terms. This is how the large majority of the web works.
Analytics, if enabledAggregate page-level statistics: which pages are read, roughly from where, on what kind of device.Aggregate rather than individual. If analytics are running on this site, the provider is named in this section — if no provider is named here, none is running.
Nothing elseThere is no account system, no comment section, no form and no newsletter.There is no database of readers here, because there is nothing that would create one.
What we do not do with any of it

We do not sell it, rent it, or hand it to an operator. We do not build advertising audiences and there is no display advertising on this site to build them for. The commercial relationship runs entirely through the redirect layer described next, and it does not involve giving anybody a list of readers.

The redirect layer, and what goes with you

This is the part that funds the site, and the part that other guides describe as “we may earn a commission” without explaining the mechanism.

Every link from this site to an operator points at an address on this domain beginning /go/ rather than directly at the operator. Clicking it sends you to our server, which immediately forwards you to the operator with a tracking reference attached to the address. That reference is what tells the operator the visit came from here, and it is what causes a commission to be paid if you go on to register.

You click an operator link

The address you click is on this site. Nothing about you is sent to the operator at this point.

Our server forwards the request

The forward carries a reference identifying this site, and in some cases which page or placement the click came from.

Your browser arrives at the operator

From this moment you are on the operator’s site under the operator’s terms and privacy policy, not ours. The reference typically becomes a cookie set by the operator.

If you register, the operator attributes it

That attribution is the entire commercial model. It is also the limit of what we learn: we are told that registrations happened, not who made them.

What we do about it

  • The mechanism is described here rather than glossed as “we may earn a commission”.
  • Every link carrying it is marked as sponsored in the page code.
  • We do not receive your name, your account details or your betting activity — only aggregate attribution.

What it still is

  • A tracking reference does travel with you, and it is there to be commercially useful to us.
  • The operator will typically set a cookie that persists, so the attribution survives you leaving and coming back.
  • Once you are on the operator’s site, what happens to your data is governed by their policy, over which we have no control and no visibility.
  • If you would rather not carry the reference, type the operator’s address directly instead of clicking through — and we would rather tell you that than not.

What an operator sees when you arrive

Worth understanding, because it is a larger set of information than anything this site holds.

An operator’s site sees what any site sees when you visit it: your network address, your device and browser, the page you came from, and whatever its own cookies and scripts record. If you register, it then holds everything you give it — name, phone number, identity documents at verification, and a complete record of deposits, bets and withdrawals that it is required to keep for years.

That is not a criticism of any operator; identity and record-keeping obligations exist for good reasons and are covered on our verification page. It is a matter of proportion: reading this site is close to anonymous, and opening a betting account is emphatically not. The place to read carefully about data is the operator’s privacy policy, not ours.

If you write to us

Email is the only channel here, and it works the way email works.

  1. We receive your address and whatever you send. That is unavoidable and it is the whole of what a message gives us.
  2. We keep correspondence only while it is useful — for the correction, the record or the conversation it relates to — and not as a mailing list, because there is no mailing list.
  3. We never publish anything identifying you. If something you send is worth using, we describe it rather than reproducing it, and we strip anything that would identify an account or a person.
  4. We never forward your message to an operator. Not to check a story, not to help. We are paid by operators and passing them a reader’s complaint would be the worst thing this site could do.
  5. You can ask us to delete it. Say so in the message or afterwards and we will, subject to anything we are required to keep.

Practical detail worth repeating from our contact page: if you would rather not use your main address, a throwaway one is fine for anything except a conversation that needs following up.

What we never collect

A short list, and it is absolute rather than aspirational.

Wallet PINs and passwords

We have no use for either and would not know what to do with one. No legitimate site or operator asks for a mobile money PIN; anything that does is fraud, and the patterns are on our payments page.

One-time codes

A code sent to your phone is the key to something. There is no circumstance in which sending it to us would help you.

Identity documents

Verification happens at the operator, not here. We never need to see an NRC, a passport or a selfie, and we would rather you did not send one.

Payment details

There is nothing to pay for on this site. No card, no wallet number, no bank details, ever.

If anything presenting itself as this site ever asks you for any of the above, it is not us. Check the address in the browser bar, and note that look-alike domains are common enough around betting brands that the same warning appears on our apps page.

The bigger exposure is not this site

Written because the honest risk assessment points away from us.

Reading a guide leaves almost no trace. Betting leaves a durable one, and mostly not on any website: every deposit and withdrawal appears in your mobile money history with the counterparty and the date, and mobile money statements are routinely used as evidence of income and financial behaviour in contexts that have nothing to do with gambling.

The second exposure is the handset. A phone used by more than one person is a wallet and a betting account used by more than one person, regardless of who registered either. The identity consequences of that are on our verification page, and the practical ones are ordinary: lock the device, log out, and do not leave a session open on a shared phone.

If reading this makes you want to think about the betting rather than the privacy

That is a reasonable response and there is no downside to acting on it. Our page on staying in control covers the practical tools, including limits set at the operator rather than held as an intention.

Your rights, and how to use them

Data protection rights depend on where you are, and the practical route here is the same either way.

Zambia has data protection legislation, and readers elsewhere have rights under their own. Rather than reciting a statute we would be paraphrasing, the useful thing to say is what we will actually do: if you ask what we hold about you, we will tell you; if you ask us to delete it, we will, unless something requires us to keep it; and if you think we have got something wrong, we will correct it.

In practice the answer to the first question is usually short, because the only thing we reliably hold about an individual is correspondence they sent us. There is no account, no profile and no purchase history here to disclose.

Requests go to the address on our contact page. Please do not send identity documents to prove who you are; if we cannot identify what you are asking about from the correspondence itself, we will ask, and the answer will not require a copy of your NRC.

Changes to this page

And how you will know.

If what we do with data changes — if analytics are added, if a provider changes, if the redirect layer starts carrying something it does not carry today — this page is rewritten to say so, and the checked date at the top of the page moves. We do not append notices to the bottom of pages, here or anywhere else on this site.

The commitment behind that is on our method page: where a change alters what a page means, we rewrite the page so that the version a reader lands on is correct, rather than correct-with-an-addendum. The conditions on which the site itself is made available are in our terms of use.

This page describes how this website handles information. It is not legal advice and it does not describe how any betting operator handles your data — for that, read the privacy policy of the site you are registering with, which will be considerably longer than this one and considerably more consequential.
