    4. The casino may pay us a commission for the referral
    5. This costs you nothing extra—you receive the same bonuses as any other player

    Do Not Track Signals

    Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked.

    Our Response to DNT: Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As a result, our Website does not currently respond to DNT browser signals differently from other visits.

    However, you can control tracking through:

    • Our cookie consent preferences
    • Browser cookie settings
    • Third-party opt-out tools listed above
    • Private/incognito browsing mode
    12

    Other Tracking Technologies

    In addition to cookies, we may use other technologies to collect information:

    Similar to cookies but stored differently in your browser. Used for caching data and remembering preferences. You can clear these through your browser's developer tools or by clearing all site data.

    Pixel Tags (Web Beacons)

    Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages and emails. They help us understand if you've viewed a page or opened an email, and measure campaign effectiveness.

    JavaScript Tags

    Code snippets that collect information about your interaction with our Website, such as which pages you visit and how long you stay. These power our analytics and advertising tools.

    Device Fingerprinting

    Some services may collect information about your device configuration (browser type, screen resolution, installed fonts, etc.) to create a unique identifier. This is primarily used for fraud prevention.
