About This Policy
This policy explains the cookies and similar storage that news.mr-gamble.com uses, what each is for, and your choices. Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Similar storage, such as your browser’s local storage, works the same way, and we treat it the same. Read this policy with our Privacy Policy.
Who We Are
Mr. Gamble’s sites are run by Cashmagnet Ltd, company number C 90205, Capital Business Centre, Entrance A, Floor 1, Triq Taz-Zwejt, San Ġwann SGN 3000, Malta. Questions about cookies: DPO@mr-gamble.com.
Your Choices
On our main and Canadian news pages, our banner lets you Accept all, Reject all, or choose by category in Settings. Nothing beyond what the site needs to work runs until you choose. You can change your choice at any time through Cookie settings at the bottom of every page.
On our US news pages, analytics runs by default, and marketing runs unless you opt out through “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” at the bottom of every page. We honour browser privacy signals, such as Global Privacy Control, automatically.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser’s settings.

These keep the site working and secure, so they always run.

Affiliate Tracking
When you follow a link to a casino or sweepstakes, the code made for that click goes to the operator’s affiliate programme in the link itself: we don’t store a cookie for it on our site. Once you’re on the operator’s site, the operator and its affiliate programme may set their own cookies, under their own cookie and privacy policies.
Do Cookies Identify You?
Most cookies hold a code rather than your name. But codes, IP addresses and browsing information can still count as personal information, especially when combined with other information. So we treat them as personal information, as our Privacy Policy describes.
Changes
We update this policy when the cookies we use change. The date at the top shows the last update. If a change needs your consent, we’ll ask you again.
