BETTING.MT — PRIVACY POLICY

Last Updated: May 2026


IMPORTANT NOTICE — AFFILIATE WEBSITE

Betting.mt is an independent affiliate website. We are NOT a gambling operator, casino, sportsbook, or licensee of the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) or any other gaming regulator.

We do not:

  • Accept wagers or bets
  • Hold player funds or process deposits/withdrawals
  • Operate games, sportsbooks, or gambling platforms
  • Issue bonuses or run promotions on behalf of any operator

We do:

  • Publish reviews, guides, and informational content about licensed gambling operators
  • Compare offers, features, and bonuses
  • Refer interested visitors to third-party operators via affiliate links
  • Earn commissions from operators based on referred traffic and activity

Once you click through to an operator's website, your relationship is governed entirely by that operator's own terms and privacy policy.


This Privacy Policy explains how Betting.mt ("Website", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your personal data when you visit our Website. By using this Website, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. WHO WE ARE

Betting.mt operates as an affiliate marketing website under Maltese and EU law. Our role is limited to publishing content and referring users to licensed third-party gambling operators. We have no operational, contractual, or financial relationship with you as a player of any gambling service.

2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

What we do NOT collect:

  • Banking, credit card, or payment details

5. SHARING YOUR INFORMATION

  • Marketing (subject to consent where required)

On your first visit, a cookie consent banner allows you to accept, reject, or customise non-essential cookies. You can also manage cookies via your browser settings; disabling them may affect functionality.

8. DATA RETENTION

  • Fulfil the purposes for which it was collected
