Casino Mate Cookies Policy
Casino Mate uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to deliver a secure, personalised gaming experience for players across Australia. This policy explains how we deploy these technologies, what information they collect, and how you can control your preferences.
By continuing to browse or use our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understand this cookies policy. If you are under 18 years of age, you are not permitted to access Casino Mate or accept any cookies from our platform.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your browser and capture certain information about your visit. At Casino Mate, we use cookies to maintain your session, remember your preferences, and improve overall functionality.
These files contain data such as unique identifiers, site settings, and browsing patterns. They do not typically store personally identifiable information directly, though they may be linked to your account details in our secure systems. Cookies work alongside similar technologies including local storage, session storage, and web beacons.
Types of Cookies
We classify the cookies used on Casino Mate into several distinct categories based on their purpose and duration. Understanding these differences helps you make informed decisions about your privacy settings.
- Session cookies - temporary files deleted when you close your browser
- Persistent cookies - remain on your device for a set period or until manually removed
- First-party cookies - placed directly by Casino Mate
- Third-party cookies - placed by external service providers
Each category serves specific operational needs. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the platform to function, while others enhance convenience or enable personalised promotional content.
Essential Cookies
Certain cookies are fundamental to the operation of Casino Mate. Without these, you would be unable to log into your account, process deposits or withdrawals, or maintain secure connections during gameplay.
Essential cookies enable core functions including:
- Authentication and session management
- Fraud prevention and security monitoring
- Load balancing across our servers
- Compliance with regulatory requirements for player verification
These cookies cannot be disabled through preference settings, as doing so would prevent access to our gaming services. They operate under our legitimate interest in providing secure, compliant gambling services to Australian players aged 18 and over.
Performance Cookies
We deploy performance cookies to understand how visitors interact with Casino Mate. These tools collect aggregated, anonymous data about page visits, loading times, and navigation patterns.
The insights gained help us identify technical issues, optimise server response, and improve the overall user experience. Performance cookies track metrics such as:
- Which pages receive the most traffic
- Where users encounter errors or delays
- How visitors move between different sections of the site
- Device and browser types used by our player base
Information from performance cookies is processed in aggregate form and does not identify individual players. You may opt out of these cookies through your browser settings or our cookie preference centre.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember choices you make to enhance your experience at Casino Mate. These enable personalised features that streamline your interaction with our platform.
When functional cookies are active, we can retain your preferred language, display settings, and gameplay preferences between sessions. They also support features such as saved favourite games, customised lobby layouts, and autoplay configurations.
While disabling functional cookies will not prevent you from accessing Casino Mate, certain conveniences will be unavailable. You will need to reselect your preferences during each visit.
Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies allow Casino Mate to deliver relevant promotional content based on your interests and activity. These files track your browsing behaviour to build a profile of your gaming preferences.
With your consent, we use this information to:
- Display targeted bonus offers and tournament invitations
- Limit the frequency with which you see particular advertisements
- Measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
- Prevent promotional content from being shown to excluded or self-excluded players
Marketing cookies may be placed by Casino Mate or by advertising partners acting on our behalf. You retain full control over these cookies and can withdraw consent at any time through our preference centre.
Managing Cookies
You have several options for controlling how cookies are used on your device. Casino Mate provides a cookie preference centre accessible from the footer of every page, allowing granular control over non-essential categories.
Browser settings offer additional control. Most modern browsers enable you to:
- Block all cookies by default
- Delete existing cookies from your device
- Notify you when sites attempt to place cookies
- Create exceptions for trusted websites
Please note that blocking certain cookie types may affect functionality. If you disable essential cookies through browser settings, Casino Mate may become inaccessible or operate unpredictably.
For detailed guidance on managing cookies in your specific browser, consult the help documentation provided by your software vendor.
Third-Party Cookies
Casino Mate engages carefully selected service providers who may place cookies on your device. These partners assist with payment processing, analytics, customer support, and marketing services.
We require all third parties to respect your privacy and process data in accordance with applicable regulations. However, these providers maintain their own privacy policies and cookie practices beyond our direct control.
Common categories of third-party cookies on our platform include:
- Payment processors verifying transaction security
- Analytics platforms measuring site performance
- Live chat providers enabling real-time support

We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with through Casino Mate. Links to these documents are available upon request.

Material changes affecting how we use cookies will be communicated through prominent notices on our website. We encourage you to review this policy regularly to stay informed about our data practices.
