Privacy Policy – Shazam Casino Australia

Last updated: 01/01/2026

Look — this site exists to help Australians make better decisions about where they play pokies online. We review, compare, and explain. We do not operate a casino, take deposits, or handle your money in any way. That distinction matters a lot for how your data is treated here.

This policy covers everything we collect (which, honestly, isn't much), how we use it, and what rights you have over it. If you're in Australia or the EU, both sets of protections apply to your visit here.

Data Collection

We do not ask you to create an account, submit your name, or hand over an email address. There's no registration form, no newsletter sign-up wall, no contact form that saves your details to a database.

The only data that reaches us passively is what your browser sends automatically when you load a page — things like your approximate location (country/city level), device type, browser version, and which pages you visited. This is standard analytics data. We do not collect your IP address in a way that identifies you personally, and we do not store payment information of any kind because there is no payment system on this site.

How We Use It

Honestly, it's straightforward. We use aggregated, anonymised traffic data to understand which casino reviews or pokie guides are actually useful to Australian readers, and which ones people bounce off after three seconds. That tells us what to improve. Nothing in that process involves singling out individual users or building profiles about you.

We do not sell data. We do not trade it. We do not send it to marketers.

Cookies & Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4, which sets first-party cookies on your device to track session behaviour. These cookies do not store personally identifiable information on their own. GA4 anonymises IP addresses by default, and we've confirmed that setting is active on this site. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all sites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On — that's a legitimate option and it won't break anything here.

We may also use basic functional cookies that remember display preferences. No advertising cookies. No cross-site tracking cookies from ad networks.

Third Parties

This is where it gets a bit more layered. We link to external casino operators, and some of those links are affiliate links — meaning we may earn a commission if you sign up through them. Once you click away from this site, you're on their platform and their privacy policy applies. To be fair, that's standard for any review blog, but it's worth being aware of where our responsibility ends.

We do not embed social media tracking pixels or share behavioural data with Facebook, TikTok, or similar platforms.

Your Rights

Under Australian Privacy Act principles and GDPR (for visitors from the EU), you have the right to request access to any data we hold about you, ask for corrections, or request deletion. Because we collect so little, these requests are usually resolved quickly — in our experience, within two business days. Send any data requests to [email protected].
