How We Use Cookies

Uptown Pokies uses cookies to keep the site working properly and to make each visit faster the next time you log in. When you open an account, place a spin on Gates of Olympus, or check your balance after a Bitcoin deposit, small text files are stored on your device so the platform remembers your session, your currency setting (AUD by default), and whether you have already accepted this policy. Without these files you would need to re-enter your login details on every page and re-select your preferred payment method, such as Visa, Skrill, or Tether, each time you return.

We split cookies into a few categories. Essential cookies handle login sessions, cart-style bet slips for our sports betting section, and fraud checks tied to your account. Functional cookies remember display choices, like sorting slots by RTP or keeping Book of Dead and Starburst in your recently played list. Analytics cookies tell us which pages get the most traffic and how long a session lasts on average, which helps us decide where to add new titles from providers like Evolution, Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, and Push Gaming. None of these tracking files read your card number, wallet address, or password; that data is encrypted and handled separately from the cookie system.

Third parties also place cookies through this site. Our payment partners, including those processing Litecoin, TRON, Ethereum, and Paysafecard transactions, use their own short-lived cookies to confirm a transaction is genuine and not a duplicate submission. Live dealer studios supplied by Evolution may set a cookie to keep your table connection stable during a live blackjack or roulette session. We do not sell cookie data to advertisers outside of standard analytics reporting, and any marketing cookie can be switched off without affecting your ability to play or withdraw funds.

You can manage cookie permissions through your browser settings at any time, and most browsers let you block or delete cookies individually. Turning off essential cookies will log you out and may stop deposits or withdrawals from processing correctly, since the site can no longer verify your session. If you have questions about a specific cookie or want a full list of active trackers, our support team is reachable by email, live chat, or phone and can walk you through the settings that apply to your account.

We split cookies into four working categories, each doing a specific job rather than a vague catch-all task. Essential cookies keep your session alive between the lobby, Gates of Olympus, and the cashier, and they store login tokens so you are not asked to sign in on every page. Without these, features like the live chat widget or a Bitcoin deposit form simply would not hold state, and the site would break in ways that have nothing to do with marketing.

Functional cookies remember choices you have already made: currency set to AUD, sound settings on a Pragmatic Play title, or the last provider filter you used across Evolution, NetEnt, and Push Gaming slots. They are not required for the site to load, but removing them means resetting preferences on every visit, including which payment method (Visa, Skrill, Neteller, or a crypto option like Ethereum or TRON) you last selected at checkout.

Analytics cookies tell us which pages get used and which do not: how many players open Book of Dead versus Starburst, where visitors drop off during registration, and whether the phone support link gets clicked more than live chat. This data is aggregated and never tied back to a name on its own, though it may combine with account data if you are logged in, which is covered separately in our Privacy Policy.

The fourth category, advertising cookies, helps us and our partners measure campaign performance and avoid showing you the same promotion repeatedly. These can be set by third parties and may track activity across other sites you visit. Curacao licence 8048/JAZ2017-065 requires us to keep records of consent choices, so your selection in the cookie banner is logged and applied consistently across devices tied to the same account.

Every modern browser gives you control over cookies through its privacy or security settings. In Chrome, go to Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Cookies and other site data, where you can block third-party cookies or clear existing ones stored by uptownpokies.com. Firefox groups the same controls under Settings, Privacy and Security, Cookies and Site Data. Safari users will find the option under Preferences, Privacy, Manage Website Data. Edge follows a similar path via Settings, Cookies and site permissions. You can choose to block all cookies, allow only first-party cookies, or delete stored data on a case by case basis after each session.

Turning off cookies entirely will affect how Uptown Pokies functions. Your login session will not persist, so you will need to re-enter your username and password every time you open a new tab or return to the site. Deposit preferences, such as your default payment method among Bitcoin, Visa, Mastercard, Litecoin, Skrill, Neteller, TRON, Paysafecard, Ethereum or Tether, will reset each visit rather than being remembered. Game history for titles like Gates of Olympus, Book of Dead or Starburst, and your last-played provider filter across Evolution, Pragmatic Play, NetEnt and Push Gaming, will also not be saved between sessions.

If you prefer a middle ground, most browsers let you disable third-party cookies while keeping first-party ones active. This blocks tracking and advertising cookies from external partners while still allowing the site to remember your login and language settings. On mobile devices, the same settings are usually found under the browser app's own menu rather than the device's general privacy settings, so check within Chrome or Safari mobile directly rather than your phone's system preferences.

Clearing cookies periodically is a reasonable habit and does not require you to close your account. If you run into login issues after disabling cookies, our live chat and email support team can help you verify your account manually while your browser settings stay as you prefer them.

Uptown Pokies is licensed out of Curacao and operates primarily for players in Australia, but our cookie and analytics tools also serve visitors browsing from the European Economic Area. Where the General Data Protection Regulation applies to a visitor, we process cookie-derived data (device identifiers, session logs, approximate location) on the legal bases of consent for non-essential cookies and legitimate interest for strictly necessary ones, such as those that keep your login session active while you play Gates of Olympus or Book of Dead.

Under GDPR, you have the right to access the data our cookies have collected about you, request correction of inaccurate records, ask for deletion, and object to processing tied to marketing or analytics cookies. You can also request a portable copy of your data in a machine-readable format. These requests can be sent to our support team through live chat, email, or phone, and we aim to respond within 30 days as required by Article 12 of the regulation.

We do not sell cookie data to third parties for their own marketing purposes. Analytics and advertising cookies set by partners who help us measure traffic to pages featuring Evolution, Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, and Push Gaming titles are governed by their own privacy policies, which we link from our cookie banner. If you withdraw consent for these cookies, some personalization features, like tailored game recommendations or remembered payment preferences for Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Skrill deposits, may stop working, though core account and payment functions remain unaffected.

Because Uptown Pokies is not established within the EEA, GDPR compliance for us is a matter of respecting visitor rights rather than a mandatory supervisory authority relationship. If you believe your data has been mishandled, you can still lodge a complaint with a data protection authority in your country of residence, and we will cooperate with any formal inquiry.
