Who we are
AusinoBonus.sbs is an independent review site built for Australian players, and you are always welcome to write to us at [email protected]. We run no casino, take no bets and hold nobody's funds. What we do is publish reviews and guides, and we earn our keep through affiliate partnerships whenever a reader clicks one of our links.
What data we collect and why
There is no account to sign up for here, and merely browsing the site hands us none of your name, payment details or any other personal identifier. The information we do collect breaks down into two simple buckets: anonymous analytics about how the site gets used, and whatever you choose to send us by email.
Analytics: Matomo
We use Matomo as our analytics tool to see which pages people visit and how the site performs overall. It tells us which guides readers enjoy, where visitors tend to get stuck, and what needs fixing. In practical terms, Matomo logs details such as:
- Page views: which pages get opened and the order you work through them.
- Rough location: usually your country or region, worked out from your IP address.
- Device and browser: your device type, screen size, operating system and the browser you are using.
- Referring site: the website or search engine you arrived from.
Every bit of this exists purely to make the site better. We never sell it, and it is never used to assemble an advertising profile of you or to work out who you are. Where we can, we configure Matomo to hold onto less identifying detail, which includes trimming full IP addresses.
Cookies
A cookie is just a small text file a website can save in your browser. We may set one to keep the site running smoothly and to power the analytics described above (recognising whether you have been here before, for instance). You can block or clear cookies through your browser settings whenever you like, though doing so may stop parts of the site working as intended.
Affiliate links and redirects
Affiliate partnerships are what keep AusinoBonus.sbs going. When you click a "Play Now" button, or any other link pointing to a casino, you will normally pass through a tracking redirect that lets the operator know the referral came from us, and that is how we earn a commission at no extra cost to you. The moment you leave AusinoBonus.sbs for a casino or any other third-party site, it is their privacy policy and terms that govern things, not ours. Reading a site's privacy policy before signing up is always wise.
Email contact
Send a message to [email protected] and we will see whatever you include, which is generally your email address and the substance of your enquiry. We use it solely to reply to you and to follow up on feedback or corrections. It is never used for marketing, and we do not pass it to anyone else for that kind of purpose.
Data retention
We keep analytics data only for as long as it genuinely helps us spot trends and improve the site, after which it is either deleted or anonymised further. Emails stay with us for as long as it takes to sort out your enquiry, plus a sensible period afterwards for our records. Beyond that, we hold onto no personal information for any longer than we truly must.
Third-party services
To function properly the site leans on a handful of third-party resources, web fonts among them. As with the analytics, these services may gather basic technical information (your IP address and browser, say) purely as part of serving their content to you. We try hard to pick providers with a reputation for handling data responsibly, though naturally we have no control over how they operate.
Changes to this policy
This policy is not set in stone. Every now and then we may revise it as the site evolves or as we change the tools behind it, and whenever that happens we will refresh the "Last updated" date at the top of the page. It is worth looking back here from time to time.
