888Bet is a review and comparison site for betting sites and casino apps used in Tanzania. We publish guides, test bonus terms, and explain how payment methods such as mobile money work in practice. We do not accept wagers, we do not hold player balances in TSh, and we never ask you to send us deposit details or one-time passwords.
That distinction shapes this policy. Because we are a publisher rather than an operator, the amount of personal data we handle is small: what your browser tells us, what you type into a contact form, and what a cookie remembers between visits. Everything below is written in plain language rather than legal shorthand.
Our audience is strictly 18+. If you are under that age, you should not use this site, subscribe to updates, or send us messages, and we will delete any details we receive that appear to come from a minor.
What happens when you land on 888bets-tz.com?
Your device makes a request to our server, and that request carries technical information: an IP address, browser and operating system version, screen size, the page you asked for, and the page or search that sent you there. Server logs record this automatically. It is the same data every website receives simply to send a page back to you.
We read those logs in aggregate. Knowing that a large share of readers open our pokies and sportsbook reviews on mid-range Android phones over mobile data tells us to keep pages light and images compressed. Knowing which review a reader leaves within five seconds tells us the page needs rewriting. We do not build a named profile of you, and we do not try to match log data to a real identity.
Why do we need any of this information?
Three reasons, in order of volume. First, delivery and security: logs let us spot scraping, bot traffic, and attempts to break the site. Second, editorial improvement: analytics show which comparisons, payment guides, and bonus explainers are actually read and where people give up. Third, correspondence: if you email us about an error in a review, we need your address to reply.
We also process a little data when you choose to give it. A newsletter sign-up stores an email address and the date of consent. A feedback form stores what you wrote. Nothing more is required - we never ask for your national ID, bank details, or account credentials for any bookmaker, and any message containing them will be deleted rather than filed.
Do we sell or share your data?
No. We do not sell, rent, or trade personal data, and we do not hand contact lists to operators or affiliate networks. If you click through from a review to a betting site, that operator becomes responsible for whatever you enter on its own pages under its own privacy terms - we pass no personal details along with the click.
A short list of service providers does touch data on our behalf: hosting, content delivery, email sending, and analytics. They act on our instructions and only for the purposes above. We may also disclose information where Tanzanian law requires it, for example a lawful request connected to the Gaming Board of Tanzania or a court order, and we keep such disclosures to the minimum asked of us.
How do cookies and trackers work here?
Essential cookies keep the site functioning: remembering your consent choice, your language, and whether you have dismissed the 18+ notice. These cannot be switched off without breaking basic behaviour. Analytics cookies are separate and count visits and page paths in aggregated form.
You stay in control. Every browser lets you block or clear cookies, and mobile browsers include a private mode that discards them on close. Clearing them means the consent banner and other preferences will reappear on your next visit, which is the trade-off rather than a fault.
How long do we keep records?
Server and security logs are held for a short operational window, usually measured in weeks, then rotated out. Aggregated analytics may be kept longer because they no longer identify anyone - traffic totals for a month say nothing about an individual reader.
Correspondence is kept while the matter is open and for a reasonable period afterwards, so we can follow up if you write again about the same correction. Newsletter addresses are held until you unsubscribe, at which point the record is removed rather than parked on a suppression list forever.
How do you ask about, correct or delete your data?
Write to ***@*** and say what you want: a copy of what we hold, a correction, deletion, or withdrawal of consent. Use the same address the message was sent from where possible, since that is usually the only identifier we have to match against.
We answer requests in the order received and aim to resolve them within a reasonable period, telling you if something takes longer. If we cannot delete a record - because a log has already rotated, or because retention is legally required - we will say so plainly instead of leaving the request unanswered. Changes to this policy are published on this page, so the version you read here is the version that applies.
