Australian Online Casino is an editorial review website. We do not operate casino games, open gambling accounts, process casino deposits, hold player balances or issue winnings. The information below describes the data handled by this website itself, not by any third-party casino, payment provider, affiliate network, analytics provider or regulator.
1. Who This Policy Covers
This Privacy Policy applies when you visit Australian Online Casino, read our casino reviews, use site filters, click internal pages, respond to a cookie banner, contact us by email, or click an outbound link to a third-party website.
If you leave this website and visit a casino, payment provider, social network, analytics platform or regulator website, their own privacy policy applies. We are not responsible for how those third parties verify identity, process payments, run promotions, assess gambling activity or handle account data.
2. Information We May Collect
| Category | Examples | When It Is Collected |
|---|---|---|
| Contact information | Name, email address, message content and any details you choose to include. | When you email us or use a contact option on the site. |
| Technical information | IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed and approximate location derived from IP. | When the website is loaded, usually through hosting logs, security tools or analytics if enabled. |
| Cookie and preference data | Cookie consent status, banner choice, basic session preferences and local browser storage values. | When you accept or reject non-essential cookies, or when your browser stores a site preference. |
| Outbound click data | The casino brand clicked, time of click, page location and non-identifying referral information. | If outbound link tracking or affiliate reporting is enabled. |
3. Information We Do Not Collect
This website does not ask you to create a gambling account and does not collect casino passwords, bank login details, card numbers, wallet private keys, identity documents, tax file numbers, betting history or self-exclusion status. If a third-party casino asks for these details, that request happens on the third-party site, not here.
4. How We Use Information
- To operate the website, load pages, maintain security and diagnose technical issues.
- To remember your cookie choice so the banner does not appear on every visit.
- To respond to messages, correction requests, privacy questions or complaints.
- To understand which pages are useful, which filters are used and where content needs updating.
- To measure outbound clicks to casino sites where affiliate or referral reporting is used.
- To comply with legal obligations, regulator requests, security investigations or dispute handling.
5. Cookies, Local Storage and Analytics
We use essential browser storage to remember cookie consent. We may also use analytics or referral cookies to understand page performance and outbound click activity. Non-essential cookies should not be treated as required to read the website. You can accept all cookies or reject non-essential cookies in the banner.
For a detailed breakdown of cookie categories, retention periods and browser controls, read our Cookie Policy.
6. When We Share Information
We may share limited information with service providers that help host, secure, measure or maintain the website. This may include hosting providers, analytics providers, email providers, spam-prevention tools, technical contractors and affiliate reporting platforms. These providers should only use the information for the service they provide to us.
We may also disclose information if required by law, if needed to protect the site from abuse, or if necessary to respond to a lawful request from a regulator, court, law enforcement agency or payment-related dispute body.
7. International Processing
Website hosting, analytics, email and security providers may process information outside Australia. Where that occurs, the information may be subject to the laws of the country where the provider operates. We aim to use providers with reasonable security and privacy controls, but we cannot promise that overseas legal protections will match Australian privacy protections in every case.
8. Retention Periods
| Data Type | Typical Retention | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Cookie consent record | Up to 12 months, unless you clear browser storage earlier. | To remember your choice and avoid repeated banners. |
| Server and security logs | Usually up to 90 days, unless needed for an incident. | Security monitoring, abuse prevention and technical debugging. |
| Contact emails | Up to 24 months after the last meaningful exchange. | To respond to follow-up questions, disputes or correction requests. |
| Aggregated analytics | May be kept longer in non-identifying form. | Trend analysis, content planning and site maintenance. |
9. Security
We use practical security measures such as access controls, limited data collection, software updates and service-provider controls. No website can guarantee perfect security. If you believe information sent to this site has been exposed or misused, contact us promptly.
10. Your Choices and Rights
- You can reject non-essential cookies in the cookie banner.
- You can clear cookies and local storage in your browser settings.
- You can ask us to access, correct or delete personal information we hold about you, where applicable.

11. Direct Marketing
We do not sell gambling accounts or send casino deposit prompts. If we ever send newsletters or commercial electronic messages, we will use consent-based signup, identify the sender and provide an unsubscribe option. We aim to keep factual site updates separate from promotional content.
12. 18+ and Responsible Gambling
This website is intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If gambling is causing stress, debt, sleep issues, relationship conflict or pressure to recover losses, contact Gambling Help Online or call 1800 858 858 in Australia.
13. Updates to This Policy
