What This Policy Covers

This Cookie Policy explains how Betfair Casino, operated from Level 15, Castlemead, Lower Castle Street, Bristol, BS1 3AG, United Kingdom, uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on betfair-uk-casino.com. It sets out what cookies are placed on your device, why they are used, how long they remain active, and what choices you have regarding their use.
This policy applies to all visitors to the Betfair Casino website, whether you are a registered player or simply browsing. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers the broader handling of personal data collected through your use of this site.
By continuing to use betfair-uk-casino.com after being presented with our cookie consent notice, you are confirming your agreement to the use of cookies in accordance with the terms set out below. You may withdraw or adjust that consent at any time.

What Cookies Are

A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your computer, tablet, mobile phone, or any other device when you visit. It allows the site to recognise your device on return visits and to store certain information about your preferences or actions.
Cookies are not programmes. They cannot execute code, carry viruses, or access files stored elsewhere on your device. They simply hold small amounts of data that help websites function properly or provide useful information to site operators.
Beyond standard cookies, we also use related technologies that work in a similar way:

  • Local storage objects – data stored in your browser outside of standard cookie files, often used to retain preferences across sessions.
  • Session storage – temporary data that is cleared automatically when you close your browser tab.
  • Pixel tags and web beacons – small invisible images embedded in pages or emails that confirm whether content has been loaded or an action has taken place.
  • Device fingerprinting – a technique that collects technical attributes of your device (such as screen resolution, browser version, and installed fonts) to create a unique identifier without storing a traditional cookie.

Where we refer to “cookies” throughout this policy, we are referring collectively to all of the above technologies unless stated otherwise.

Legal Basis for Using Cookies

Betfair Casino operates under a licence issued by the UK Gambling Commission. Our use of cookies is governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Under PECR, we are required to obtain your informed consent before placing any cookie on your device that is not strictly necessary for the delivery of a service you have explicitly requested. This means:

  • Strictly necessary cookies are placed without requiring consent, as they are essential to operate the website.
  • All other categories of cookie require your active consent before being set.

Our cookie consent tool, which appears on your first visit to the site, is our mechanism for collecting that consent. It records the choices you make so that we can demonstrate compliance with our legal obligations. You can revisit and amend those choices at any time through the cookie settings link available in the footer of every page.

Categories of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function. Without them, services you have requested, such as logging in to your account, placing a bet, or completing a deposit, would not be possible. Because they are technically necessary to deliver the service you are actively using, they do not require your consent under PECR.
Examples of what these cookies do:

  • Maintain your login session so you are not signed out when moving between pages.
  • Remember items added to your basket or bonus selections during a session.
  • Support security functions including fraud detection and session integrity checks.
  • Enable the cookie consent tool itself to store your preferences.
  • Route traffic correctly to our servers to ensure pages load reliably.

These cookies are typically session-based and expire when you close your browser, though some may persist for a short period to support returning users.

Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use betfair-uk-casino.com. They help us understand which pages are visited most frequently, how long users spend on different sections, and where visitors encounter difficulties. All information gathered is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
We use this data to improve site performance, fix broken links, and refine the layout and content of the website. For example, if analytics show that a particular page has a high exit rate, we investigate whether the content or navigation needs to be improved.
These cookies are set only with your consent.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, whether you have dismissed a notification banner, or your display settings. They create a more personalised experience without tracking you across other websites.
In the context of a licensed gambling site, functional cookies may also be used to remember responsible gambling preferences you have set, such as deposit limits or session time reminders, so that those settings remain in place across visits.
These cookies require your consent and are set only once you have agreed to their use.

Targeting and Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to build a profile of your browsing habits and interests so that we, and our advertising partners, can present you with relevant promotions and content. They track whether you have visited the site before, which games or sections you engaged with, and whether you responded to a particular offer.
They may also be used to limit how many times you see a given advertisement and to measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns. Some of these cookies are set by third-party advertising networks that operate across multiple websites.
We set targeting cookies only with your explicit consent. If you decline this category, you may still see Betfair Casino adverts elsewhere online, but they will not be tailored to your previous behaviour on this site.

Responsible Gambling Cookies

Given that betfair-uk-casino.com operates under a UK Gambling Commission licence, we maintain a specific set of cookies to support our responsible gambling obligations. These may include:

  • Cookies that record whether you have been shown responsible gambling information during a session.
  • Cookies linked to self-exclusion or cooling-off periods, ensuring that excluded users cannot access gambling features.
  • Session duration trackers that help us identify and act upon prolonged gambling sessions, in line with our duty of care obligations under the UKGC’s Social Responsibility Code.

Certain responsible gambling cookies are treated as strictly necessary for compliance purposes and do not require separate consent. Others are functional in nature and follow the consent rules applicable to that category.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on betfair-uk-casino.com are set by third-party service providers rather than by us directly. We use third parties for analytics, advertising, payment processing, and game delivery. These providers may set their own cookies on your device when you interact with their services embedded on our site.
Third-party providers whose cookies may be present on this site include:

  • Google Analytics – web analytics service provided by Google LLC. Google’s use of cookies is governed by its own privacy policy, available at policies.google.com/privacy.
  • Meta (Facebook) – advertising and retargeting cookies linked to the Meta Pixel. Meta’s data practices are described at facebook.com/privacy/policy.
  • Google Ads (Google LLC) – conversion tracking and remarketing cookies used to measure advertising performance.
  • Game software providers – slots and live casino content is delivered through third-party game studios. Those studios may set functional or analytics cookies as part of the game delivery infrastructure.

We take reasonable steps to ensure that our third-party partners comply with applicable UK data protection law. However, we do not control how those providers use data collected through their own cookies. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of any third party whose cookies you encounter on our site.

How to Manage Your Cookie Preferences

Through Our Cookie Consent Tool

When you first visit betfair-uk-casino.com, a cookie consent banner is displayed. This allows you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or make granular choices by category. Your selection is stored and applied immediately.
You can return to these settings at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of any page on the site. You do not need to be logged in to update your preferences.

Through Your Browser

All mainstream browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings menus. You can typically:

  • View all cookies currently stored on your device and delete them individually or in bulk.
  • Block all cookies from being set, or block cookies from specific websites.
  • Set your browser to notify you each time a website attempts to set a cookie.
  • Enable private or incognito browsing mode, which prevents cookies from being retained after you close the window.

Instructions for managing cookies in commonly used browsers:

  • Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
  • Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and Site Data
  • Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
  • Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Cookies and site data

Please note that blocking all cookies will affect the functionality of betfair-uk-casino.com and may prevent you from accessing your account or using gambling features. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled through our consent tool, though you can block them at browser level.

Opting Out of Third-Party Advertising Cookies

If you wish to opt out of interest-based advertising cookies set by third-party networks, you can do so through the following industry opt-out tools:

Opting out through these tools will not remove all advertising; it will prevent personalised adverts from being served based on your browsing history.

Cookie Retention Periods

Cookies are stored on your device for varying lengths of time depending on their purpose:

  • Session cookies are temporary and deleted automatically when you close your browser or end your session.
  • Persistent cookies remain on your device until their expiry date is reached or until you delete them manually. Retention periods range from 24 hours for certain analytics cookies to up to 2 years for others, as detailed in the cookie table above.

We review retention periods periodically to ensure they remain proportionate to the purpose for which the data is used, in line with the data minimisation principle under UK GDPR.

Cookies and Gambling Regulation

As a site licensed by the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC), we have specific obligations that affect how we use data gathered through cookies. In particular:

  • We are required to implement and maintain technical controls to prevent access by self-excluded or under-age users. Certain cookies support these controls and are classified as strictly necessary for compliance purposes.
  • Customer interaction data collected via cookies may be used to identify signs of harm and to fulfil our obligations under the UKGC’s Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice (LCCP), specifically the requirements relating to customer interaction and identifying problem gambling behaviours.
  • Marketing cookies used to re-engage lapsed players are subject to additional restrictions under both PECR and the UKGC’s rules on marketing to vulnerable persons. We do not use targeting cookies to re-engage customers who have previously set self-exclusion or voluntary limits.

Changes to This Policy

We review this Cookie Policy regularly to reflect changes in the technologies we use, updates to applicable law, and guidance issued by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) or the UK Gambling Commission. When material changes are made, we will notify you through a notice on the website and, where appropriate, through a refreshed consent request so that you can review and confirm your preferences.
Continued use of betfair-uk-casino.com after any such changes constitutes your acknowledgement of the updated policy. If you disagree with any change, you can adjust your cookie preferences or contact us directly.
