Privacy Policy

Welcome to Pub Casino — a UK-based informational resource dedicated to helping readers navigate the online casino landscape with clarity, confidence, and impartial guidance. This Privacy Policy sets out in plain terms how we collect, process, and safeguard any data that may be generated when you browse our website. We operate as an affiliate and editorial platform, meaning we do not host any gambling services directly, nor do we process financial transactions or player accounts.

Our website is operated by L&L Europe Ltd and is directed exclusively at adults aged 18 and over residing in the United Kingdom. As a UK-facing digital publication, we are committed to full compliance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. We encourage all visitors to read this policy carefully so that you understand what information we may encounter during your visit and how it is handled responsibly.

Information We May Encounter When You Visit

As an informational iGaming resource, we do not ask you to create an account or submit personal details in order to read our content. However, certain technical data is generated automatically whenever you access any website on the internet. When you visit our pages, your browser communicates basic connection information to our servers, including your IP address (which may be anonymised), your browser type and version, your device type, operating system, and the pages you viewed during your session.

This non-personally identifiable technical data is a standard by-product of internet browsing and is used solely for the purpose of maintaining website security, diagnosing performance issues, and understanding broad usage patterns. We do not use this information to build individual user profiles or to identify you as a natural person without further explicit action on your part.

Beyond technical logs, we may also collect aggregated analytics data via third-party tools such as Google Analytics. This aggregated data gives us insight into how visitors interact with our site — which pages prove most useful, how long visitors stay, and from which regions our readership comes. None of this analytical data is linked back to an identifiable individual under our processes.

How We Use Cookies on This Website

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They serve a range of purposes from ensuring a site loads correctly to enabling sophisticated tracking across multiple sessions. On our website, cookies are used for functional and analytical purposes. We do not use cookies to target you with advertising or to track your browsing activity across unrelated third-party websites for commercial profiling.

You have the right to control and manage cookies at any time. Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through their settings menus. Please be aware that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our site. For independent guidance on managing cookies and your online privacy choices, the following resources may be helpful:

• www.youronlinechoices.com — an independent resource provided by the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance that allows you to opt out of behavioural advertising cookies set by participating companies.
• www.allaboutcookies.org — a comprehensive guide to understanding cookie types, how they work, and how to manage them across different browsers and devices.

We periodically review the cookies deployed on our platform to ensure that only those strictly necessary for legitimate operational purposes remain active. Where new cookies are introduced by third-party services we integrate, we aim to update our cookie information accordingly.

How We Use the Data We Collect

The data encountered during your visit to our website is used for a limited and defined set of purposes. We do not sell, rent, or trade any user data with third parties for marketing purposes. Our use of data is strictly operational and aimed at improving the quality, security, and relevance of this platform.

Specifically, the information we process may be used for the following:

• Monitoring and maintaining the technical performance of the website, including server stability and error resolution.
• Generating anonymised analytics reports to understand content engagement, audience demographics, and browsing patterns.
• Detecting and preventing fraudulent activity, bot traffic, and other security threats via infrastructure-level tools.
• Tracking affiliate link interactions so that we can understand which operator partnerships generate reader interest — this data is aggregated and does not identify individual users.
• Improving our editorial content based on which guides, reviews, and articles are most frequently accessed and shared.

Where our website contains affiliate links to licensed gambling operators, clicks on those links may be tracked by affiliate network software. This tracking is used to attribute referrals for commercial purposes, but it does not involve us storing personally identifiable information about the individual who clicked. Any data processed by the operator you visit after clicking an affiliate link falls entirely under that operator’s own privacy policy.

Legal Basis for Processing Under UK GDPR

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), any processing of personal data must be grounded in a lawful basis. As an informational website that does not require user registration or collect direct personal submissions in normal operation, the data we process is primarily non-personal in nature. Nevertheless, we outline below the legal bases we rely upon where processing of data-adjacent information does occur.

Our primary lawful basis is Legitimate Interests (Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR). We have a legitimate interest in maintaining a secure, functional, and analytically informed website. The processing of technical access logs and anonymised analytics data is proportionate to this interest and does not override the fundamental rights of our visitors.

Where we use cookies that go beyond strict necessity — such as analytics cookies — we seek your consent (Article 6(1)(a) UK GDPR) at the point of your first visit. You retain the right to withdraw consent at any time through your browser settings or our cookie management interface. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing that occurred prior to withdrawal.

For further information on your rights under UK data protection law and the legal frameworks applicable to websites operating in the United Kingdom, the following authoritative resources are available:

• ICO UK GDPR Guidance — official guidance from the Information Commissioner’s Office on how UK GDPR applies to organisations processing data in the UK.
• Data Protection Act 2018 — the full text of the primary UK legislation governing data protection, available via legislation.gov.uk.

Third-Party Services and External Integrations

To deliver a high-quality user experience and maintain the security and performance of our platform, we make use of a number of trusted third-party services. Each of these providers may process certain technical data as part of the service they provide. We have selected these partners based on their reputations, compliance standards, and relevance to our operational requirements.

The table below summarises the key third-party services used on this website, the type of data they may process, and their respective privacy documentation:

Service Provider	Purpose	Data Processed	Privacy Reference
Google Analytics	Audience measurement & content performance	Anonymised browsing data, session duration, page views	Google Privacy Policy
Cloudflare	CDN, DDoS protection & security	IP addresses (anonymised), traffic metadata	Cloudflare Privacy Policy
Affiliate Networks	Referral tracking for casino operator links	Click event data, referral identifiers	Varies by network

We wish to draw your attention to the role of the UK Gambling Commission, which oversees the licensing and regulation of all online gambling operators accessible from Great Britain. Whilst we are not a licensed gambling operator ourselves, the operators we may feature or link to are expected to hold appropriate licences. You can verify operator licences and access consumer protection resources at the UK Gambling Commission website. For matters relating to data protection compliance in the UK, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) is the relevant supervisory authority.

Each third-party service operates under its own independent privacy policy and is responsible for its own compliance with applicable data protection law. We recommend reviewing the privacy documentation of any external service whose cookies or tracking scripts may be active on your device.

Our Affiliate Relationships and Commercial Transparency

Pub Casino is an affiliate and editorial website. This means that some of the links to casino operators, bonus offers, and gaming platforms featured in our reviews and guides may be affiliate links. When you click on such a link and subsequently register or make a deposit with that operator, we may receive a commission payment from the operator at no additional cost to you.

The existence of these commercial relationships does not compromise our editorial integrity. Our reviews, ratings, and recommendations are produced independently of any affiliate considerations. We assess operators on the basis of their licensing credentials, game selection, bonus terms, customer support quality, and responsible gambling provisions — not on the size of commercial arrangements.

Affiliate tracking is conducted via cookie-based and URL parameter-based systems. When you click an affiliate link, a cookie may be set by the affiliate network or operator to attribute your visit. This process does not involve us collecting or storing your personal details. For transparency, where affiliate links appear on our pages we endeavour to make this clear to our readers.

How We Protect Information on This Platform

Although we do not collect substantive personal data in the normal course of operation, we take the security of our website and any data it handles seriously. Our platform employs industry-standard SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption, ensuring that all data transmitted between your browser and our servers is protected against interception. You can verify this by the padlock icon and https:// prefix visible in your browser’s address bar.

At the infrastructure level, we use Cloudflare’s network to provide DDoS mitigation, bot detection, and performance acceleration. This service acts as a protective layer between public internet traffic and our hosting environment, reducing exposure to a range of common security threats. Access to our backend systems is restricted to authorised personnel only, and we apply the principle of data minimisation throughout our operations — collecting only what is genuinely necessary and retaining it only for as long as required.

Whilst we implement robust technical and organisational measures to safeguard our platform, no system connected to the internet can guarantee absolute security. We therefore encourage all visitors to maintain up-to-date security software on their own devices and to exercise caution when clicking links on any website, including ours.

Data Retention and Storage Periods

In line with the principle of storage limitation under UK GDPR, we retain data only for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. For technical server logs, this typically means a rolling retention period of no more than 30 days, after which logs are automatically purged or anonymised. Analytics data processed via Google Analytics is subject to Google’s own data retention settings, which we configure in accordance with best practice guidance — typically set to 14 months for session-level data.

Cookie-based identifiers are session-specific or persist for a defined period set at the point of deployment. First-party analytics cookies generally expire within 13 months of being set. Strictly necessary cookies may expire at the end of your browsing session or persist for a short period thereafter to maintain preference settings. Where affiliate tracking cookies are involved, their duration is set by the relevant affiliate network or operator, typically ranging from 30 to 90 days.

We do not maintain long-term databases of individual visitor records. There are no user accounts on our platform, and therefore no account-level data is retained. Should you wish to request deletion or clarification regarding any data we hold, please refer to the contact details at the end of this policy.

Your Rights as a Data Subject Under UK GDPR

As a visitor located in the United Kingdom, you are afforded a comprehensive set of rights under the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018. We are committed to upholding these rights and will respond to any valid request within the statutory timeframe of one calendar month.

Your rights include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Right of Access: You may request a copy of any personal data we hold about you, along with information about how it is processed.
• Right to Rectification: If you believe any data we hold is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request correction.
• Right to Erasure: Also known as the “right to be forgotten”, this allows you to request the deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances.
• Right to Restriction of Processing: You may request that we limit the way we process your data while a dispute or verification is pending.
• Right to Data Portability: Where processing is based on consent or contract, you have the right to receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Right to Object: You may object to processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interests, including profiling.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting prior processing.

If you feel that your data protection rights have not been respected, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK’s independent supervisory authority for data protection. The ICO can be contacted via their website at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint.

Age Restrictions and Protection of Younger Users

This website is intended exclusively for individuals who are 18 years of age or older. Online gambling and iGaming content is strictly regulated in the United Kingdom, and we take our responsibility in this regard seriously. We do not knowingly collect data from, or direct content at, anyone under the age of 18. If you are under 18, please do not use this website.

We strongly support responsible gambling principles and encourage adults who engage with online gambling to do so within their means and with appropriate safeguards in place. If you are concerned about your gambling behaviour or that of someone you know, organisations such as BeGambleAware offer free, confidential support and self-exclusion tools.

Should we become aware that any individual under the age of 18 has accessed or submitted information via our platform, we will take immediate steps to remove that information and prevent further access. Parents and guardians are encouraged to make use of parental control software to restrict access to iGaming content where appropriate.

Links to External Websites and Third-Party Content

Our website contains links to third-party websites, including licensed casino operators, software developers, regulatory bodies, and responsible gambling organisations. These links are provided for the convenience and information of our readers. However, once you leave our domain, this Privacy Policy no longer applies, and we have no control over the content, data practices, or privacy standards of any external website.

We recommend that you review the privacy policy of every external website you visit, particularly before providing any personal information. The presence of a link on our platform should not be interpreted as an endorsement of the third party’s data handling practices. We are not liable for any data collected, processed, or misused by websites external to https://pubcasinouk.com/.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to amend, update, or replace this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in applicable law, regulatory guidance, or our own operational practices. Any material changes will be reflected by updating the “Last Reviewed” date at the top of this page. We encourage visitors to check this policy periodically to remain informed about how we handle data.

Where changes are significant — for example, if we were to introduce new data collection methods or alter our legal basis for processing — we will take reasonable steps to communicate this to regular visitors, which may include a notice on our homepage. Continued use of our website following the publication of an updated policy constitutes acceptance of the revised terms to the extent permitted by law. This policy was last reviewed in May 2025. It applies to all pages and subdomains unless otherwise specified on a particular page.
