Privacy Policy

Let's set the frame first, because it changes everything about this policy. Mr Bet NZ is a publisher. We write about Mr Bet Casino and point interested Kiwi readers toward it. We are not Faro Entertainment N.V., we do not run the casino, and we cannot see your betting history, balance or banking. That means the personal information we touch is far smaller than what an operator holds — and this policy reflects that reality rather than borrowing a generic template built for a bank.

Who we are

Mr Bet NZ operates this website as an independent affiliate and information resource aimed at readers in New Zealand — from Auckland and Wellington through to Christchurch. When we refer to "we", "us" or "the site" below, we mean this info hub. When we say "the operator" or "Mr Bet", we mean the separate company that actually runs the casino, which keeps its own privacy policy that governs anything you do once you leave us.

What information we collect

Most visitors read a page and leave without us ever knowing who they are. The limited data that does pass through falls into a few buckets:

• Basic analytics. Aggregated, mostly anonymised stats — pages viewed, rough location at country or region level, device type, and how you arrived (a search, a link, a bookmark). This helps us see which guides are useful and which need work.
• Cookies and similar tags. Small files your browser stores. We use them to remember preferences and to understand traffic, and our affiliate partner uses them to credit a referral if you click through to Mr Bet.
• Anything you send us directly. If you email us a question, we receive your address and whatever you choose to write. We only use that to reply.

What we do not collect is just as important: no names tied to gambling activity, no account logins, no card numbers, no deposit or withdrawal records. That information only ever exists on the operator's own systems, never ours.

How cookies and affiliate tracking work

When you click a "Visit Mr Bet" button, our affiliate link may set a cookie so that, if you go on to register, the operator knows the visit came from this site. That is how we earn a commission — at no extra cost to you and with no change to the bonus you receive. The cookie records a referral, not your identity, and it does not follow you around unrelated websites. You can block or clear cookies at any time in your browser settings; the pages will still work, though some preferences may reset.

Third-party links — you leave our site

This is the key thing to understand. Every affiliate button and outbound link takes you off Mr Bet NZ and onto a website we do not control. The moment you land on the operator's pages, their privacy policy applies, not ours. They decide what account, identity and payment data to collect, how they verify you through KYC, and how they store it. We'd gently suggest reading their policy before you register — the same way you'd read the fine print on any financial sign-up. We also use a small number of service providers (for analytics and hosting) who process data on our behalf under their own terms.

How long we keep data

Aggregated analytics are retained only as long as they stay useful for understanding trends — typically a rolling period of up to 26 months, after which older detail is discarded or fully anonymised. Emails you send us are kept while the conversation is live and for a reasonable window afterward in case you follow up, then deleted. Because we hold no accounts, there is no long-term profile of you sitting on our servers waiting to be breached.

Keeping information secure

The site is served over an encrypted HTTPS connection, and we limit who can access the little data we do hold. No online system is perfectly secure, and we won't pretend otherwise — but the smaller the data set, the smaller the risk, and we deliberately keep ours small.

Your rights under the NZ Privacy Act 2020

New Zealand's Privacy Act 2020 gives you real, enforceable rights over personal information an organisation holds about you. In practice, with us that means you can:

• ask what personal information (if any) we hold about you;
• request that we correct anything inaccurate;
• ask us to delete information where we have no ongoing reason to keep it;
• opt out of analytics by using your browser's controls or a tracking-blocker.

If we ever have a privacy breach that could cause you serious harm, the Act requires us to notify you and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner. You can raise any concern with that office directly at privacy.org.nz if you feel we haven't handled your information properly.

Children

Gambling content is strictly for adults. This site and everything it links to is intended for people aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18, and nothing here should reach a minor.

Changes to this policy

We may update this page as our tools or the law change. The "updated" date in the header reflects the current version, and material changes will be posted here rather than emailed, since we don't hold a mailing list of readers.

Contact us

Questions about privacy, or want to make a request under the Act? Email us and we'll respond within a reasonable time. For anything about your casino account — logins, deposits, verification or withdrawals — you'll need to contact Mr Bet's own support team, because that data lives with them, not with us.
