1. Who we are
This Privacy Policy explains how PlayerGuide (“we”, “us”, “our”), operating the website playerguide.online (the “Website”), may collect and use information when you visit or interact with the Website.
The Website publishes general information about online casinos, sports betting, crypto gambling, bonuses, odds and related topics. We do not operate gambling services, accept bets, process deposits, or provide financial, legal or gambling advice.
2. Information-only nature of the Website
All content on the Website is provided for general information purposes only. Nothing on the Website constitutes an offer, recommendation, endorsement, warranty or guarantee of any operator, product, bonus, odds, market or outcome.
You are solely responsible for how you use the information on this Website and for any action you take (including visiting third-party sites, registering accounts, depositing funds, placing bets or claiming bonuses). PlayerGuide has no responsibility for your decisions or their consequences.
3. Information we may collect
Depending on how you use the Website, we may process:
- Technical data — IP address, browser type, device type, referring URL, pages visited, approximate location derived from IP, and timestamps.
- Newsletter data — email address and preferred language if you subscribe to our newsletter.
- Communication data — information you voluntarily send us by email or contact forms (if available).
- Cookies and similar technologies — as described in section 7.
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal data (such as payment card details for gambling accounts). Gambling accounts and payments are handled exclusively by third-party operators under their own policies.
4. How we use information
We may use information to:
- operate, secure and improve the Website;
- measure traffic and content performance (including via analytics tools such as Google Analytics, where enabled);
- send newsletter updates if you subscribed;
- respond to messages you send us;
- comply with applicable law or protect our legal rights.
We do not sell your personal information as a standalone product. Affiliate tracking may record that a click came from our Website when you leave via an outbound (“go”) link; that tracking is for commission reporting and does not mean we control third-party sites.
5. Legal bases (where applicable)
Where data-protection laws such as the GDPR apply, we rely on one or more of: legitimate interests (running an informational media website), consent (for optional cookies or newsletter signup where required), and legal obligation. You may withdraw newsletter consent at any time by contacting us or using unsubscribe instructions if provided.
6. Sharing of information
We may share limited information with:
- hosting, security, email and analytics providers that help us run the Website;
- affiliate networks or operators when you click outbound links (they receive standard referral parameters);
- authorities if required by law.
Third-party websites have their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for their practices, content, security or data processing.
7. Cookies and analytics
The Website may use cookies or similar technologies for essential operation, preference storage (such as language), analytics and affiliate attribution. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect some features.
If Google Analytics or similar tools are enabled, those providers may process technical data under their own terms. PlayerGuide does not control how those providers use data beyond our configuration of the Website.
8. Data retention
We keep information only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes above (for example, newsletter lists while subscription is active, server logs for a limited security period, and affiliate click records for accounting). We may delete or anonymise data earlier or later when required.
9. Your choices and rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or restrict certain personal data, or to object to processing. To make a request, contact us using the details in section 12. We may need to verify your identity.
You can stop using the Website at any time. If you do not agree with this Policy, please do not use the Website.
10. Children’s privacy
The Website is intended for adults of legal gambling age in their jurisdiction (typically 18+ or 21+). We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe a minor has provided data, contact us so we can delete it where appropriate.
11. No liability for privacy outcomes on third-party sites
When you leave PlayerGuide for an operator or other external website, you do so entirely at your own risk. We have no control over and accept no responsibility for third-party privacy practices, data breaches, account misuse, marketing messages, or any other processing carried out by those parties.

13. Changes
