This privacy policy explains what information Crypto Gaming Foundation collects when you use this website, why we collect it, how long we keep it, who we share it with, and the rights you have over it. It applies to this website and to any message you send us through it or by email.
Last updated 4 Oct 2026. If we change this policy, the changed version appears on this page with a new date, and where a change matters we will say so plainly at the top of the page.
Who we are
Crypto Gaming Foundation ("we", "us", "the foundation") publishes guides and checks about crypto gaming sites: how the randomness works, who runs the desk, and what the terms really cost. For the purposes of data protection law, we are the controller of the personal information collected through this website. That means we decide why and how your information is used, and we are the people you talk to about it.
You can reach us about anything in this policy through the contact page or at admin@cryptogaming.org. Privacy questions go to the same place as everything else; they are read by the same small team that writes the guides.
What this policy covers
This policy covers information collected when you read this site, when you join the article list, and when you contact us. It does not cover the sites we write about. Operators, platforms, wallets, and casinos have their own policies and their own practices, and we cannot speak for them. If a guide links you to an external site, that site's policy applies from the moment you land there.
What we collect
We collect only what you actively give us, plus the minimum technical records needed to keep the site running:
- Email address. If you join the article list, we hold the address you type so we can send you new guides when they are published.
- Message content. If you contact us through the form or by email, we hold what you write: your name if you give it, your email address, the topic you pick, and the message itself.
- Attachments. If you attach screenshots or PDFs to a message, we hold the files as part of that conversation.
- Technical logs. Like almost every website, our hosting keeps short-lived server logs: the address the request came from, the page requested, the time, and the browser type. These exist for security and debugging, not for profiling.
What we do not collect
We do not run advertising trackers. We do not build analytics profiles of individual readers. We do not fingerprint devices. We do not buy data about you from brokers, and we do not combine what you give us with datasets from elsewhere.
We do not collect account details, wallet keys, seeds, passwords, or payment information, because this site has no accounts and takes no payments. If you ever include a wallet address, a seed phrase, or a password in a message to us, we will tell you to rotate it, and we will delete it. Never send anyone your seed phrase, including us.
How we use what we collect
- To send the article list. If you subscribed, we email you when we publish. Every email includes an unsubscribe link that works immediately.
- To reply to you. Messages get read and answered by a person. Attachments are opened only to understand the issue you raised.
- To improve the guides. A message about a site we cannot check may become a guide. If we write about your situation, we do it without identifying you.
- To keep the site secure. Logs are used to spot abuse, block attacks, and fix errors.
- To understand readership in aggregate. We like to know whether the guides are being read. We do this in totals, not per person.
We do not sell your information. We do not share it with operators, platforms, advertisers, or data brokers. We do not use your message to market to you beyond the list you explicitly joined.
Legal bases
Where data protection law requires us to name a legal basis, ours are:
- Consent for the article list. You gave it when you typed your address, and you can withdraw it with one click.
- Legitimate interest for answering messages, keeping the site secure, and understanding aggregate readership. Our interest is running a useful, safe publication; it does not override your rights.
- Legal obligation where we must keep or disclose records by law.
Cookies and similar technology
This site does not set tracking cookies. We do not use advertising pixels, social media trackers, or analytics beacons that follow you across the web. If that ever changes, this page will say so before it happens, and anything non-essential will be off until you turn it on.
Your browser may still store technical items the site needs, such as cached files so pages load faster on your next visit. Those stay on your device, you can clear them at any time, and clearing them breaks nothing except load speed.
Who we share information with
Sharing is limited to the service providers who carry the work, under contracts that restrict them to our instructions:
- Hosting. The company that serves these pages to your browser processes requests so the site exists at all.
- Email delivery. The provider that sends the article list processes your address so the email arrives.
Beyond that, we disclose information only if the law compels us, or if it is necessary to protect the site, its readers, or ourselves from abuse or legal claims. We do not sell data, and we do not hand it to the sites we write about. If a guide names an operator, they learned nothing about you from us.
International transfers
Our providers may process data in countries other than yours. Where information crosses borders, we rely on recognised safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, that are designed to keep the same level of protection in place wherever the data sits.
How long we keep it
Retention follows purpose:
- Article list addresses are kept until you unsubscribe, then removed from the active list. Suppression records, so we do not email you again by mistake, may be kept longer.
- Messages and attachments are kept for as long as the conversation needs, then reviewed and deleted on a regular cycle, normally within 24 months of the last contact.
- Technical logs rotate automatically and are kept for weeks, not years.
- Backups roll off on the same cycle as the data they contain.
Security
We limit what we hold, limit who can see it, and use encrypted connections for the site itself. Access to the mailbox and the list is restricted to the people who need it to do the work. No method of storage is perfect, and we will not pretend otherwise; if a breach ever affects your information, we will tell you and tell the relevant authority where the law requires it.
Your rights
You can ask us at any time to:
- See the personal information we hold about you
- Correct anything that is wrong
- Delete it, where we have no legal reason to keep it
- Restrict or object to how we use it
- Receive a copy in a portable format
- Withdraw consent for the article list, with one click in any email or one message to us
Write to admin@cryptogaming.org and we will answer within 30 days. We will not charge you for a reasonable request. If we cannot do what you ask, we will explain why. If you are not satisfied with our answer, you can complain to your local data protection authority; in the UK that is the Information Commissioner's Office.
Children
This site is about gambling-adjacent products and is not directed at anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has given us their details, tell us and we will delete them.
Automated decisions
We make no automated decisions about you. Nothing on this site profiles you, scores you, or decides anything about you without a person involved.
Third-party links
Guides link to external sites where it helps a check. We do not control those sites and we are not responsible for what they collect. Read their policies before you give them anything, and treat every operator form as a data collection point, because it is one.
Information you give us about other people
Sometimes a message mentions someone else: a support agent by name, a friend who had the same problem, a screenshot with another player in it. Only send us other people's information if you have the right to. Where you can, strip names and details before you send. If we do not need the third party's details to understand the issue, we delete them on sight.
How the article list works
The list is one email when we publish, nothing more. We do not rent it, sell it, share it, or use it for anything except the emails you asked for. Every email carries an unsubscribe link that works immediately and without a login. If the link ever fails, a one-line email to admin@cryptogaming.org does the same job.
More on security
Practical measures, in plain terms: the site is served over encrypted connections; the mailbox and the list sit behind individual accounts with strong authentication; access is limited to the people who answer messages and send the list; attachments are opened only in the context of the conversation they belong to; and what we do not hold cannot be breached, which is the main reason this policy is short on data and long on plain language. If we ever suspect a breach that touches your information, the steps are: contain it, work out what was affected, tell you if your information was in it, and notify the authority where the law requires.
Your choices at a glance
- Read the site without telling us who you are. That works, and it always will.
- Join the list, or do not. The guides are free either way.
- Unsubscribe with one click, any time.
- Ask what we hold, ask us to fix it, or ask us to delete it: admin@cryptogaming.org.
- Complain to your data protection authority if our answer is not good enough.
Do Not Track and similar signals
Some browsers send Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signals. Because this site does not track you in the first place, there is nothing extra for those signals to switch off here, and your reading is treated the same whether the signal is on or not.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, the new version replaces this one and the date at the top changes. Material changes get a plain summary at the top of the page. Continuing to use the site after a change means the new policy applies from then on.

Questions about this policy, or about your information: admin@cryptogaming.org, or the contact page. We answer privacy questions the same way we answer everything else: a person reads it and replies.
