Our Cookie Policy
This policy explains what cookies we place on winningz-pokies.com, why we place them, how long they last and what you can do about them. We keep it in plain language so you can make an informed choice in under ten minutes.
What Cookies Actually Are
A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your device when you visit. When you come back, the site reads that file and remembers something useful: your login state, your chosen language, the fact that you already closed the cookie banner.
We use cookies on Winningz Casino for four reasons. First, the site simply does not work without some of them. Second, we store your preferences so you do not set them twice. Third, we count, in aggregate, how pages are used so we can fix what is broken. Fourth, marketing partners show you offers that are relevant instead of random.
The Cookies We Set
Strictly necessary
These keep the site running and cannot be switched off in our settings. They maintain your session so you stay logged in while you play, confirm your identity on each request, and protect your account with anti-fraud checks. Example names you may see in your browser include wz_session, wz_auth and wz_csrf.
Functional
Functional cookies remember choices you make. Your selected language, your preferred currency, whether you collapsed a lobby filter, your last viewed games. Nothing here tracks you across other sites. Examples: wz_lang, wz_currency, wz_prefs.
Analytics
Analytics cookies tell us, in aggregated and anonymised form, which pages load slowly, where players drop off during registration and which deposit flows cause errors. We look at counts and patterns, not at named individuals. Examples: wz_stat, wz_abtest.
Marketing
Marketing cookies support our promotions, including our 200% welcome bonus up to A$8,000 plus 200 free spins with code WIN200. They help us measure whether an offer you saw was ever claimed, and limit how often the same ad reaches you. You can refuse this whole category at any time without losing access to the bonus itself. Examples: wz_promo, wz_src.
Summary table
| Cookie type | Purpose | Duration | Opt-out |

| Marketing | Retargeting and offer measurement | Up to 90 days | Yes, via banner or browser settings |
Cookies From Third Parties
Some cookies on our pages are set by partners whose services we embed, not by us. We allow three categories of partner cookies.
Analytics providers help us understand site performance in aggregate. Payment providers set cookies during deposits and withdrawals through Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, MiFinity, Jeton and crypto processors so transactions can be verified and completed safely. Ad networks place marketing cookies so our promotions reach people who might genuinely want them.
Each partner processes data under its own privacy policy as well as ours. We do not sell your data to third parties, and we do not permit partners to use cookies on our site for purposes we have not disclosed here.
- Analytics providers: aggregated usage statistics only
- Payment providers: transaction security and fraud checks
- Ad networks: retargeting for our own offers, capped in frequency
Manage Your Cookie Preferences
On our site
When you first visit, our banner lets you accept all categories or reject everything except strictly necessary cookies. You can also open granular settings and switch functional, analytics and marketing cookies on or off individually. Change your mind later by clearing cookies for our domain; the banner will reappear on your next visit.
In your browser
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies entirely.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies has real consequences: you will not stay logged in, deposits may fail mid-flow, and some games will refuse to load. Blocking marketing or analytics cookies only affects ads and our internal statistics, never your gameplay, your balance or your withdrawals.

How Long We Keep Cookies
Nothing we store on your device lasts forever. Session cookies vanish the moment you close your browser. Persistent cookies carry an expiry date set at the time they are placed.
Our strictly necessary cookies last from the length of your session up to 30 days, functional preferences up to 365 days, and analytics and marketing cookies up to 90 days. When a cookie expires, it deletes itself. If you withdraw consent earlier, we delete the related cookies immediately where technically possible.
Keep in mind that retention on your device is separate from how long we keep account records. Transaction and KYC records follow our privacy policy and regulatory obligations under our Curaçao licence, not this cookie policy.
Changes to This Policy
When we add a new cookie category, a new partner or a change in retention periods, we update this page and show the revised banner before the new cookies load. The current version always applies from 2026 onwards until replaced. If a change materially affects your choices, we will ask for fresh consent rather than assume it.
Questions about anything here? Reach our support team by live chat at any hour or email [email protected], and we will answer in plain terms.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I play at Winningz Casino with cookies fully blocked?
Partly. Games and pages will load, but logging in, depositing and withdrawing will not work reliably because session and security cookies are required for those flows.
Does rejecting marketing cookies cost me the welcome bonus?
No. The 200% bonus up to A$8,000 plus 200 free spins with code WIN200 is available to every eligible player regardless of cookie choices. Marketing cookies only affect how offers are advertised to you.
How do I reset my banner choice?
Clear the cookies for winningz-pokies.com in your browser. On your next visit the banner appears again and you can pick different settings.
Do you use cookies to track me on other websites?
Our own cookies work only on our domain. Third-party ad networks may use retargeting cookies across sites, and you can switch that category off in the banner at any time.
