Privacy Policy
This document sets out, in straightforward terms, how Parimatch handles information that passes through it. We’ve written it for ordinary readers rather than lawyers, which means short sentences, no formal recitals, and no clauses that exist only to satisfy a template. If something here is unclear, the contact details near the end are the right place to flag it.
Before You Read Further — A Note on Age
Everything that follows assumes the reader meets a baseline requirement: you are at least 18 years old, or you have reached whichever higher minimum age your country, state, or region sets for accessing sports analysis and gaming-adjacent informational content. By continuing past this point, you are confirming that this is the case.
If it isn’t — if you are below 18, or below the threshold that applies where you live — you should close this tab now. The rest of this policy, and the rest of the website it governs, is not intended for you.
The reasoning for this restriction is set out further down. If you’re a parent or guardian, the section addressing you specifically appears below as well.
What This Website Actually Is
A clarification matters here because the brand name in our domain can mislead first-time visitors:
Parimatch is an independent informational website. It is not operated by, affiliated with, or endorsed by the Parimatch gaming group.
What we publish covers sports analysis, match commentary, gaming-industry coverage, and educational material on related topics. What we do not do can be listed plainly:
- We don’t take bets, hold balances, or operate any kind of sportsbook or casino
- We don’t process deposits, payments, or withdrawals of any kind
- We don’t create or maintain user accounts on third-party gaming platforms
- We don’t act as an intermediary between readers and any operator
- We don’t tell readers to gamble or push them toward any specific service
Reading our material is reading commentary and analysis. Gambling and gaming statutes vary widely across countries, states, and even municipalities — confirming what is permitted where you live, before acting on anything you read here, sits with you.
Why We Restrict Access by Age
We are not a gambling operator, but the topics our content engages with — odds frameworks, match-outcome modelling, operator profiles, gaming-industry developments — sit inside an industry that virtually every jurisdiction worldwide regulates as adults-only.
Most countries set the floor at 18. Some go higher — 21 in several U.S. states, in Greece, and in a handful of additional jurisdictions. A small number of countries prohibit engagement with gaming-related content of this nature regardless of age. Whatever the position is where you live, the obligation to know it before reading further sits with you, not with us.
Our Position on Underage Visitors
We want this stated without ambiguity:
What we don’t do | What we won’t do |
Design content for audiences below 18 | Market or promote this site to minors |
Knowingly accept personal data from minors | Respond to contact-form submissions identifying as underage |
Direct any advertising toward people below the legal threshold | Maintain records of any minor’s data, once identified |
If you are below 18 — or below the applicable age threshold in your jurisdiction — leave the site now, and do not return until you legally qualify to access this category of content.
A Section for Parents and Guardians
If a child or teenager in your care has reached this page, the practical reality is that age-gates on individual websites are easy for a curious minor to bypass. We’re aware of that; you likely are too. The robust answer is layered protection at the device and network level, not reliance on any single site’s age declaration.
A few measures that work in practice:
Device-level controls. Modern operating systems — iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, gaming consoles — include built-in parental control settings at no cost. These can restrict app installation, content categories, and screen-time windows.
Network-level filtering. Configuring your home router or switching your household DNS to a service like OpenDNS FamilyShield or Cloudflare for Families can block whole content categories — gambling, betting, adult material — across every device that touches your home network, including devices you don’t control directly.
Browser-level extensions. Tools that operate at the browser layer offer a third line of defence and can be useful on shared family devices.
Conversation. The technical measures matter, but so does explaining to younger people in your household why certain content categories aren’t suitable for them, and what to do if they encounter such content unintentionally.
If you have reason to believe that someone under 18 has submitted personal information to Parimatch — through a contact form, a registration option, or any other means — please reach out using the contact details further down. On verification, we will remove the relevant records from our systems as promptly as we reasonably can.
What Information We Actually Collect
We only ask for information when there’s a concrete reason for asking, and we tell you the reason at the point of collection. The two scenarios where data may reach us:
- When you contact us. Reaching out through a contact form, by email, or through any other channel means we’ll receive whatever you choose to share with us. Typically that means a name, an email address or phone number, the body of your message, and any attachments you decide to include.
- If you register an account (where that option exists). Account creation, in the cases where it’s offered, may involve providing your name, an organisation if relevant, a postal address, an email address, and a phone number.
That is the full list. We don’t quietly accumulate information about reader behaviour beyond what’s described here and in the cookies section below.
How We Use What We Collect
Anything that reaches us is put toward a narrow set of operational purposes:
- Maintaining the website and keeping the content current
- Refining our articles, guides, and analytical tools based on what readers find genuinely useful
- Understanding broad traffic patterns through aggregated, anonymised analytics
- Responding to questions, feedback, or update requests you’ve asked us to handle
- Identifying and dealing with spam, abuse, scraping, and fraud attempts
We do not sell your details to third parties. We do not rent them out. We do not provide them to data brokers.
Cookies and Advertising Networks
Certain pages on Parimatch serve advertisements delivered through external networks, including Google. The DART cookie that Google uses is one mechanism by which the ads you see may be tailored based on your visits to our site and others.
If you’d prefer to opt out of personalised advertising of this kind, Google maintains the opt-out tools and documentation at:
https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads
One important point about the advertising networks themselves: their data-handling practices are governed by their own privacy policies, not by ours. We have no visibility into, and no control over, what they collect or how they use it. If their practices matter to you, their published policies are where to look.
Your Rights Under Data Protection Law
Depending on where you live, data-protection legislation — most prominently the GDPR in the European Union and the United Kingdom, and the CCPA/CPRA in California — may give you specific rights over any personal information we hold about you. The rights commonly include:
- Access — requesting a copy of the information we hold on you
- Rectification — asking us to correct inaccuracies or complete incomplete records
- Erasure — asking us to delete your data, subject to limits set by law
- Restriction or objection — limiting how we process your data, or objecting to specific processing activities
- Portability — receiving your data in a structured, machine-readable form
To exercise any of these, contact us through the channels listed below. We will respond within the timeframes set out by the applicable law.
Verification and Enforcement
Where we have reasonable grounds to believe that a visitor or correspondent does not meet the minimum age requirement, we reserve the right to:
- Decline to respond to contact-form submissions
- Refuse to provide services or information
- Delete any data that has been submitted
- Take any other reasonable step to enforce the restriction
Misrepresenting your age to access this website breaches the terms under which access is offered.
Your Acceptance
Continuing to use this site constitutes your acceptance of the terms set out in this policy. If any element of it sits poorly with you, the cleanest response is not to use the site.
