Privacy Policy

Last modified July 13, 2026

This page tells you what personal information we gather when you visit Gamblers.ing, why we collect it, how we keep it safe and what rights you have over it.

We have deliberately written this in plain terms. Privacy is important to you, and you should be able to know exactly what happens with your data without the need of a lawyer.

1. Who We Are

Gamblers.ing is an independent website that reviews and compares online casinos. We are not a casino, we do not take bets, we do not retain your money.

We are the so-called “data controller” for data protection law. That means we determine what personal data is gathered on this website and what we do with it.

Contact email: info@gamblers.ing
Legal Entity: Independent Website Owner (Gamblers.ing)
Address: Germany.

For any questions about your data, please send an email.
