This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal data when you visit and interact with our website. We are committed to handling your information responsibly and in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other relevant legislation. We encourage you to read this document carefully so you understand your rights and our obligations regarding your personal information.
This Privacy Policy applies exclusively to the data processing activities that take place on this website. It does not cover data processing carried out by third-party websites that we may link to, including the sports betting operators, cryptocurrency exchanges, or other services mentioned in our content. Each of those websites operates under its own privacy policy, and we recommend reviewing their respective documents before providing them with any personal data.
We may update or amend this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or the services we provide. If a material change occurs that could affect your rights or how your data is processed, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you before the changes take effect. The date of the most recent revision is indicated at the bottom of this page.
Data Controller
The operator of this website acts as the data controller, meaning we determine the purposes and means of processing your personal data. As data controller, we are responsible for ensuring that your data is processed lawfully, fairly, and transparently. If you have questions about our data processing activities or wish to exercise your rights, you may reach us through the contact information provided on our Legal Information page.
Data We Collect
When you visit our website, we may collect and process several categories of personal data. The scope of data collected depends on how you interact with the site and which features you use.
Automatically Collected Data
When you access our website, our servers and third-party services automatically record certain technical information transmitted by your browser. This includes your IP address, the type and version of your browser, the operating system you are using, the referring URL that brought you to our site, the pages you visit, the date and time of your access, your approximate geographic location as derived from your IP address, and unique device identifiers. This data is collected to ensure the proper functioning of the website, to maintain security, and to generate anonymized usage statistics that help us improve our content and services.
Data You Provide Voluntarily
If you contact us through any form available on the website, subscribe to notifications, or otherwise communicate with us directly, you may voluntarily provide personal data such as your name and email address. We process this information solely for the purpose of responding to your inquiries and providing the services you have requested.
Interaction Data from Partner Websites
If you follow a link from our website to one of our partner sites, such as a sports betting operator, information about your interaction may be processed on an aggregated and anonymized level. This data cannot be linked back to your individual identity and is used solely for statistical and business reporting purposes.
Why We Process Your Data
We process your personal data for the following purposes and on the corresponding legal bases.
To provide and maintain the website, we rely on our legitimate interest in operating and securing our online services. This includes ensuring stable server performance, detecting and preventing security threats, and optimizing the delivery of our content to your device and location.
To improve our content and user experience, we rely on our legitimate interest in understanding how visitors use our website so we can develop better, more relevant content about Bitcoin sports betting and cryptocurrency-related topics.
To respond to your inquiries, we process data based on your consent or, where applicable, on the necessity of fulfilling a pre-contractual relationship. When you contact us, we use the data you provide exclusively to address your request.
To send push notifications, we rely on your explicit consent. You can withdraw this consent at any time through your browser settings or by following the instructions provided in the notification itself.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance functionality, analyze traffic, and support our marketing activities. Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit our website. They allow us to recognize your browser, remember your preferences, and understand how you navigate our pages.
We use both session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, and persistent cookies, which remain on your device until they expire or you delete them manually. Some cookies are set directly by us (first-party cookies), while others are set by third-party services we integrate, such as analytics and advertising platforms.
For detailed information on the specific cookies we use, their purposes, and how you can manage your preferences, please refer to our separate Cookie Policy page.
Third-Party Services and Data Sharing
We may share your data with selected third-party service providers who assist us in operating the website, analyzing traffic, and delivering our services. These providers process data on our behalf and are contractually bound to handle your information in accordance with applicable data protection laws. We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
The third-party services we currently use may include the following categories.
Web analytics services such as Google Analytics help us understand visitor behavior by collecting anonymized usage data. Google Analytics uses cookies to generate statistical reports about website activity. You can learn more about how Google processes data by visiting the Google Privacy Policy. You may opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Advertising and affiliate networks may set cookies to track referrals from our website to partner sites. This allows us to receive commissions when visitors register or transact with a betting operator through our links. The data shared in this process is limited to referral identifiers and does not include your name, email address, or other directly identifying information.
Content delivery and security services help us deliver our website content quickly and securely. These services may process your IP address and browser information to route traffic efficiently and protect against malicious activity.
International Data Transfers
Some of the third-party services we use may be located outside the European Economic Area. When personal data is transferred to countries that do not provide an adequate level of data protection as determined by the European Commission, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission or other legally recognized transfer mechanisms.
Data Retention
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as required by applicable laws. Technical server logs are typically retained for a limited period for security and troubleshooting purposes, after which they are automatically deleted. If you have contacted us and provided personal data, we will retain that information for as long as needed to resolve your inquiry and for a reasonable period thereafter, unless you request earlier deletion.
Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, accidental loss, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Access to personal data is restricted to authorized personnel whose roles require such access, and these individuals are trained in data protection practices. While we strive to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
