Who we are
Real Money Pokie (real-money-pokie.com) is an independent review site for Australian adults who play online pokies. We are not a casino and we do not take bets. If you have a privacy question, write to contact@real-money-pokie.com. That address is the only contact channel we have.
Data we collect
Newsletter emails
If you join our bonus newsletter, we collect the email address you type into the form. The address is stored with our email service.
Click and visit tracking
Our casino links go through a redirect on this site called /go. A click-tracking service runs on that redirect and on page visits. It records technical data: your IP address, your browser and device information (the user agent), the page that referred you and your browser language. We use it to attribute visits and clicks.
Hosting logs
Our site is served through Cloudflare, our hosting and CDN provider. Like most hosts, it keeps server logs of requests, which can include your IP address and technical details about your connection.
Cookies
At present the site itself sets no analytics cookies and no advertising cookies. If that changes, we will update this page before we do it.
Why we use your data
- To send the bonus newsletter you asked for, and nothing else.
- To work out which visits and clicks came from this site, so we can be paid commission and understand which pages are useful.
- To keep the site running, secure and fast.
- To answer your emails.
We do not sell your email address, and we do not use the newsletter list for anything other than the bonus newsletter.
Why we are allowed to use it
In plain terms: we email you because you asked us to, and you can withdraw that at any time by using the unsubscribe link or writing to us. We use click tracking and hosting logs because running a free review site that is paid by commission requires it, and because the data is technical and limited. We keep that use small and do not combine it with your identity.
Who we share data with
Our service providers
- Email service: holds newsletter addresses.
- Hosting and CDN (Cloudflare): serves the site and keeps request logs.
- Click-tracking service: receives the technical data described above.
Casinos after you leave
When you click through to a casino, you leave our site. The casino runs its own site, collects its own data and applies its own privacy policy. We do not control it and we do not receive your account details from the casino. Read the casino’s policy before you register.
We may also disclose data where the law requires it.
How long we keep it
We keep data only as long as we need it for the purposes above. Newsletter addresses stay until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them. Tracking and hosting records are kept by the providers for as long as their own settings and our needs require, and are then deleted or anonymised.
Your rights
You can ask us to:
- tell you what data we hold about you;
- correct data that is wrong;
- delete your data, including your newsletter address.
Email contact@real-money-pokie.com from the address concerned and say what you want. We may need to confirm that the request comes from you. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link in any email. Because the click-tracking and hosting logs are technical records, we may need your IP address and an approximate time of your visit to find them.
Children
This site is for people aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you think a minor has given us an email address, write to us and we will delete it. Our responsible gambling page has more on keeping minors away from gambling sites.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when our data practices change. The date at the top of the page shows when it was last updated, and material changes will be reflected here before they take effect. Using the site after an update means you accept the updated policy.
