Privacy Policy

  • For players in Australia · 18+

This policy covers onlineaucasino.com. The organisation responsible for personal information collected through the site is Sunquill Media Group DMCC, HDS Business Centre, Cluster M, Jumeirah Lakes Towers, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Questions or requests go to the editorial desk. We aim to handle information in line with the Australian Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 1988.

What the site does not do

There are no accounts, logins, comment forms or newsletters here, and we never ask for your name, date of birth or payment details. Nothing you do on this site is passed to a casino as a customer record.

What is collected

  • Server logs. Each request leaves a log line on our host: IP address, browser string, the page asked for, the time and the referrer. We use these lines to keep pages loading and to spot abuse.
  • Cookies. Listed in the table below.
  • Visit statistics. Pages load Google Analytics, which records which pages are read, for how long and from what kind of device.
  • Your emails. A message you send stays with us, together with the sender address, only while the matter is open, and serves for nothing except the reply.

The OK button on the cookie notice stores one value, oac-ck, in your browser’s local storage so the notice stays closed. Wiping or refusing cookies in your browser is fine: every page still opens and reads normally.

Who else sees data

Our hosting provider processes server logs on our behalf. Google receives the Analytics data under its own terms and may process it outside Australia, including in the United States. Clicking through to a casino tells that casino you arrived from us, and its privacy notice governs everything after the click. Personal information is never sold or rented out.

How long it is kept

Cookies run out after the periods listed in the table. Old log lines are purged automatically after a short window. Emails are kept until the question they raise is closed, and then for a reasonable time in case it comes back.

Your choices and rights

Ask us at any point for a copy of the details we have on you, for a fix to anything inaccurate, or for erasure. Write to the editorial desk and we will answer within 30 days. Unhappy with how we handled it? The OAIC, Australia’s privacy regulator, takes complaints.

Security

The site is served only over HTTPS and we keep what we collect to a minimum. No system is completely secure, so do not send us passwords or casino account details by email.

Children

Nobody under 18 is our audience, and we make no deliberate effort to gather data from minors.

Changes

Whenever this policy is amended, the “last updated” line moves to match.

Checked by the onlineaucasino.com editorial team

What we verify before a brand goes on a list

  • Licence on the regulator's register
  • Bonus terms as the operator publishes them
  • Withdrawal limits and stated processing times
  • Deposit rails that work from Australia
  • Limits, time-outs and self-exclusion tools

Pages on this site are compiled and checked by our editorial team from primary sources only: the operator's own terms, bonus and cashier pages, and the public register of the licence the brand names. We do not open accounts or deposit money on a reader's behalf, and we do not print a figure we cannot point to in writing – where an operator publishes nothing, the field stays empty instead of being estimated. The full method is set out in how we rate, and who stands behind these pages in our editorial standards.
