MzansiSpins is a static comparison site — we collect very little. This page explains exactly what, why, on what legal basis, and what rights you have over it under South African law.
This policy applies to mzansispins.com only. It does not cover the privacy practices of Pantherbet, 10bet, Hollywoodbets or any other operator you reach via a link from this site — each of those has its own privacy policy, and once you leave mzansispins.com, theirs applies instead of ours. We'd encourage you to actually read an operator's privacy policy before registering, since gambling operators typically collect significantly more personal information than we do here, including identity documents for FICA purposes.
We don't operate user accounts, so there's no registration data, password, or profile to store. The information we do collect falls into two categories:
If you email us via our contact page, we hold whatever you send us — your email address and message content — for as long as is reasonably necessary to resolve your query, generally no more than 12 months unless it relates to an ongoing correction or partnership discussion.
Under South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), any processing of personal information needs a lawful basis. Ours breaks down simply: analytics data is processed under legitimate interest — understanding how a small independent site is used so we can improve it, weighed against the minimal, largely anonymised nature of what's collected. Affiliate click tracking is processed as a necessary part of operating the referral relationship that funds the site, disclosed in full on our advertising disclosure page. Email correspondence is processed with your implied consent the moment you choose to contact us, for the sole purpose of responding to you.
This site may use a small number of cookies for analytics and to support affiliate link tracking. None of these cookies are used to build an advertising profile of you for third-party marketing, and we don't run retargeting campaigns based on your visit.
| Cookie type | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
| Analytics | Understand which pages are read and how the site is navigated | Up to 24 months |
| Affiliate attribution | Credit a sign-up to MzansiSpins when you follow a "Claim Bonus" link | 30–90 days |
| Preference | Remember minor display choices, such as whether the mobile menu was open | Session only |
You can block or clear cookies at any time through your browser settings; doing so won't prevent you from reading any content on this site, though affiliate attribution (which only affects whether we get credited, not anything about your experience) may stop working correctly.
Nearly every casino name on this site links out to that operator's own website. We vet those operators for our rating methodology, but we don't control their sites, their data practices, or their terms. Read the privacy policy on any operator's own site before creating an account there — in particular, note that FICA verification requires submitting identity documents directly to the operator, never to us.
Some of the third-party services we rely on for analytics may process data on servers located outside South Africa. Where this happens, POPIA requires that the receiving jurisdiction have comparable data protection safeguards, or that appropriate contractual protections are in place. Given how minimal and largely anonymised the data involved is, this is a low-risk area of our operation, but we mention it here for completeness and transparency rather than leaving it unaddressed simply because the volume of data is small.
We periodically review which third-party tools we use for analytics and affiliate tracking, and we favour providers with clear, published data protection commitments over ones without. If we ever add a new third-party tool that materially changes how or where your data is processed, we'll update this policy and the "Updated" date above to reflect it.
South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act gives you a set of concrete rights over any personal information a site holds about you.
Ask what personal information, if any, we hold that's associated with you.
Ask us to correct information that's inaccurate or out of date.
Ask us to delete information we hold, such as past email correspondence.
Object to a specific type of processing, such as analytics tracking, at any time.
Because we don't operate accounts and hold minimal personal data, most of these requests will return very little — but if you want to know what analytics data may be associated with your visits, or want correspondence cleared, contact us via our contact page and we'll respond within a reasonable timeframe, generally within 30 days as POPIA contemplates for such requests.
Aggregated analytics data is retained only as long as it's useful for understanding site performance and is not sold or shared with third parties beyond the analytics and affiliate tracking providers necessary to operate the site. We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the limited data we hold, in line with POPIA's security safeguard requirements, including restricting access to correspondence to the small team that needs it to respond.
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" signal. There's no single agreed-upon standard for how sites should respond to this signal yet, so we don't currently change our behaviour based on it specifically — but you can achieve the same practical outcome by blocking cookies directly in your browser settings, which we do respect.
MzansiSpins does not knowingly collect information from, or direct content toward, anyone under 18. This site exists to compare products that are themselves restricted to adults — see our responsible gambling page for more on our approach to age-restricted content, and our terms of use for the eligibility rules that apply to using this site at all.
We may update this policy as the site or applicable law changes. Material changes will update the "Updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
No. We don't sell personal information to anyone, including the casino operators we review. The only data that reaches an operator is the fact that a click on our affiliate link led to their site, which is standard for how affiliate marketing works.
We may use a standard web analytics tool to understand aggregate traffic patterns. Any such tool is configured to minimise the personal information collected, consistent with the cookie table above.
Block or clear cookies in your browser settings, or use a browser extension that blocks analytics scripts. This won't affect your ability to read anything on the site.
From that point, the operator's own privacy policy governs your data — we only know that a referral occurred, not any details about your account, deposits or activity there.
We're not a licensed gambling operator, so we have no regulatory reporting relationship with any gambling board. We'd only ever disclose information in response to a valid legal request under South African law, not on a routine or voluntary basis.
Questions about this policy or a request relating to your data can be sent via our contact page.
