Cookie Policy — what these files actually do behind the scenes
Updated: 13 September 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Down Under Wins ("we", "us", "our"), accessible at downunderwins.com, uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow a site to recognise your device, remember your preferences, and support the functioning of the site over time. Similar technologies, such as local storage, may be used for comparable purposes.
Why We Use Cookies
Down Under Wins is committed to operating responsibly and in line with Australian regulatory requirements. Cookies help us:
- Confirm that visitors meet the minimum age of 18 to access gambling-related content, and support our age verification processes.
- Maintain the security and integrity of our website.
- Deliver responsible gambling tools, including self-exclusion, deposit limits, reality checks, and links to support services.
- Understand how our website is used, so we can improve its performance and content.
- Ensure that our services are not made available to persons physically present in Australia, consistent with legal restrictions on interactive gambling offered to Australian residents.
Categories of Cookies We Use
Necessary Cookies These cookies are essential for the website to function correctly. They enable core features such as age verification, secure browsing, navigation, and access to responsible gambling tools (self-exclusion settings, deposit limits, and reality check notifications). Without these cookies, parts of the site may not work as intended. Necessary cookies cannot be switched off through our consent tool because they are required for the site’s basic operation and for compliance with responsible gambling obligations.
Analytical Cookies These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website — for example, which pages are visited most often and whether users encounter errors. This information is used in aggregate to improve the structure, content, and usability of Down Under Wins. Analytical cookies are only placed with your consent.
Marketing Cookies These cookies may be used to understand the effectiveness of our communications and to tailor content to visitor interests. Marketing cookies are only placed with your consent and can be withdrawn at any time.
We do not use cookies to enable or facilitate credit card, cryptocurrency, or other digital currency payments for gambling, as these payment methods are not accepted on Down Under Wins.
Managing Your Consent
When you first visit Down Under Wins, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner allowing you to accept or reject non-essential cookies (analytical and marketing). You can:
- Accept all cookies.
- Reject all non-essential cookies.
- Customise your preferences by category.
You may change or withdraw your consent at any time by accessing the cookie preference settings, typically available via a link in the website footer. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings, including blocking cookies entirely, deleting existing cookies, or being notified when a cookie is set. Please note that blocking or deleting necessary cookies may prevent access to certain features of Down Under Wins, including age verification and responsible gambling tools. Instructions for managing cookies are generally available in your browser’s help menu.
