Who We Are

WinPlay News is a South African sports news and betting-information website. We publish sports news, fixtures, results, match previews, odds-related content, promotions, and general entertainment content for users aged 18 and over.

Our website is intended for visitors in South Africa and is operated in accordance with applicable South African privacy requirements, including the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (“POPIA”), where applicable.

Information We Collect

We may collect information in the following ways:

• Information you provide directly: such as your name, email address, and message details when you contact us, subscribe to updates, submit a comment, or complete a form on our website.
• Technical information: such as your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring website, pages visited, time spent on pages, and approximate location derived from your IP address.
• Cookie and analytics information: information collected through cookies, pixels, analytics services, advertising technologies, and similar tools that help us understand website traffic and improve our content.
• Affiliate-link activity: when you click a link to a third-party betting operator, casino, advertiser, or partner website, that third party may collect information under its own privacy policy. WinPlay News may receive aggregate or referral-related reporting from partners, but we do not control their data practices.

How We Use Information

We may use collected information to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve WinPlay News.
• Respond to messages, enquiries, and support requests.
• Deliver newsletters or updates where you have opted in.
• Analyse audience engagement, website performance, and content popularity.
• Improve site security, detect misuse, and protect our rights.
• Measure the performance of advertising, promotions, and affiliate links.
• Comply with legal, regulatory, and record-keeping obligations.

We do not sell personal information as a standalone product.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

WinPlay News may use cookies and similar technologies to ensure the website functions properly, remember preferences, understand traffic, and measure marketing performance.

Cookies may be used for:

• Essential website functionality.
• Analytics and performance measurement.
• Advertising and remarketing, where enabled.
• Tracking referral activity from links to third-party operators or advertisers.

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect how parts of the website function.

Third-Party Links and Advertising

Our website may include links to external websites, including licensed betting operators, casinos, advertisers, social-media platforms, sports organisations, and other third-party services.

When you leave WinPlay News, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. Third-party websites have their own privacy policies, terms, cookies, registration processes, and data practices. We encourage you to read those policies before providing personal information or opening an account.

WinPlay News is not responsible for the privacy, security, availability, accuracy, or content of third-party websites.

Affiliate Disclosure

Some links on WinPlay News may be affiliate links. This means we may earn a commission if you visit a partner site, register, or complete an eligible action through one of our links.

This does not increase the price you pay. Affiliate relationships may support the operation of our website, but they do not guarantee that a third-party operator is suitable for you. You should always review an operator’s terms, licensing status, and responsible-gambling tools before participating.

Data Sharing

We may share information with trusted service providers that help us operate our website, including:

• Website hosting and security providers.
• Analytics and performance platforms.
• Email and communication providers.
• Advertising and affiliate-tracking partners.
• Professional advisers or authorities where required by law.

We only share information where necessary for the purposes described in this policy, to protect our rights, or to comply with applicable legal obligations.

Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, disclosure, or alteration.

However, no website, internet transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. You use WinPlay News and submit information to us at your own risk.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, or maintain appropriate business records.

Your Privacy Rights

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:

• Request access to personal information we hold about you.
• Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Request deletion of personal information where appropriate.
• Object to certain processing of your information.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

Children and Under-18s

WinPlay News is intended only for people aged 18 years and older.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If you believe that an under-18 has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that we can investigate and remove the information where appropriate.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our website, services, legal requirements, or data practices. The latest version will always be published on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.
