Privacy Policy

We collect as little as we can get away with, and we tell you exactly what happens to the rest. Last updated 1 August 2026.

Who we are

Rakeback52 is an independent editorial desk covering online and crypto poker rooms. You can reach us any time through our contact page.

What we collect

Email address and any message you send when you subscribe to The Wire, request a coupon code, join the Members Club or contact us. If you create an account, we store the credentials and profile data needed to keep you signed in.

We also log standard technical data — page requested, referrer, approximate country, browser type and timestamp — plus anonymous click events when you use an outbound room or tournament link.

Cookies and analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand which pages are read and which are ignored. It sets cookies in your browser and processes IP-derived location at a coarse level. You can block these cookies in your browser or use an ad blocker without losing access to any part of the site.

Some cookies are strictly functional: keeping you signed in, remembering a revealed bonus code, or storing a dismissed banner.

Affiliate tracking

Outbound links to poker rooms pass through our own redirect so we can count clicks, then hand you to the operator. The operator may set its own tracking cookie to attribute your signup to us. That relationship is described in full on our affiliate disclosure page. We never receive your account balance, hand histories or personal details from an operator.

How we use your data

To send the newsletters and alerts you asked for, answer your messages, operate accounts, measure which content works, and detect abuse. We do not sell your data, and we do not share your email address with poker rooms or advertisers.

Retention and your rights

Subscriber records are kept until you unsubscribe, after which the address is suppressed so we do not accidentally re-add you. Analytics data is retained on Google's standard schedule. Contact records are kept while the enquiry is open and for a reasonable period afterwards.

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your data at any time, and every email we send carries a one-click unsubscribe link. Email us through the contact page and we will act on the request.

Children

This site covers real-money gambling and is intended for adults aged 18 or over. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. See our responsible gaming page for support resources.

Changes

If this policy changes materially we will update the date at the top of this page. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the revised policy.
