Our Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy, last updated 2026, explains what cookies and similar technologies we place on your device when you use betmaximus.org.uk, why we place them, how long each one stays and how you switch them off. We keep the language plain: if you want the full legal detail, our Privacy Policy covers it.
What Cookies Actually Are
A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your device when you visit it. The file holds a short string of letters and numbers that lets the site recognise your browser on your next visit. We use the word "cookie" here to cover similar technologies too, including local storage and pixels, because they work the same way for you.
Think of it this way: without cookies, every page you open would treat you as a brand-new visitor. Cookies remember that you are already logged in, that you picked English, and that you dismissed our banner. They are not programmes, they cannot read files from your computer, and they cannot install anything.
The Cookies We Use
Strictly necessary
These cookies keep betmaximus.org.uk working. Without them you could not log in to your Betmaximus Casino account, stay logged in between pages, or complete a deposit. They also carry out security checks that protect your account and our licence obligations under the Malta Gaming Authority. We never ask for your consent to set these, because the site cannot function without them.
Functional
Functional cookies store your choices so you do not have to repeat them. They remember your language setting, your preferred currency and whether you want the live-dealer lobby in list or grid view. If you delete them, nothing breaks; you simply reset to defaults on your next visit.
Analytics
Analytics cookies tell us, in aggregated form, how players move through our 2,000-game library. We learn which lobby tiles get clicked, where players drop off during KYC, and how long a typical deposit flow takes. This data is anonymised and never tied to your name or your gaming history.
Marketing
Marketing cookies support our offers, such as the 100% welcome bonus up to £400 with 20 free spins, or the weekly 10% cashback. They limit how often you see the same message and help us show promotions relevant to how you actually play. You can refuse these at any time through our banner or your browser, and your bonus eligibility is unaffected.
| Cookie | Category | Purpose | Duration | Opt-out |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| bm_session | Strictly necessary | Keeps you logged in | Session | No, required |
| bm_csrf | Strictly necessary | Fraud and request protection | Session | No, required |
| bm_lang | Functional | Stores your language choice | 90 days | Yes, browser settings |
| bm_cur | Functional | Stores your currency choice | 90 days | Yes, browser settings |
| bm_anon | Analytics | Aggregated traffic measurement | 30 days | Yes, banner or browser |
| bm_mrkt | Marketing | Retargeting and offer frequency | 90 days | Yes, banner or browser |
Third-Party Cookies We Allow
Some cookies on our site are set by partners rather than by us. We allow three categories and nothing beyond them. Analytics providers help us count visits and measure page performance. Advertising networks serve our promotions on other websites you browse and control how many times an offer appears. Payment providers involved in our deposit and withdrawal methods, including Trustly, PayPal and the crypto processors, may set a cookie during a transaction to complete fraud screening and confirm the payment went through.
Each partner sets its own cookie on its own domain, and its data protection terms apply to what it collects. We review this list every quarter and remove any third party that no longer serves a purpose we can justify to you or to the regulator.
How You Control Them
On our site
When you first open betmaximus.org.uk, our banner offers you three choices: accept all categories, reject everything except strictly necessary cookies, or open a settings panel where you toggle analytics and marketing individually. You can reopen that panel at any time from the "Cookie settings" link in the footer, and your new choice takes effect immediately.
In your browser
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies yourself, and the steps take under a minute.
- Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies, then block or clear as you prefer.
- Safari: Preferences, then Privacy, then Manage Website Data to remove cookies or block all.
- Firefox: Settings, then Privacy and Security, then choose Standard, Strict or Custom under Enhanced Tracking Protection.
- Edge: Settings, then Cookies and site permissions, then block or allow per site.
What happens if you block them
Blocking strictly necessary cookies is the one case that causes real problems: you will not be able to log in, deposit or withdraw. Blocking functional cookies just resets your language and layout preferences. Blocking analytics and marketing cookies costs you nothing in functionality, though you may see less relevant promotions. Our 24/7 live chat and support email stay open to you whatever you decide.
How Long We Keep Them
A session cookie lives only for the visit that created it and disappears the moment you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay for the period in the table below, counted from your last visit. When a persistent cookie expires, your browser deletes it automatically, and we have no way to read it afterwards.
We chose these periods deliberately. Ninety days covers a reasonable gap between visits without storing anything about you for a year. Where UK and EU guidance later recommends shorter limits, we will shorten ours to match.
| Category | Type | Retention | Renewed on next visit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Session | Until you close your browser | Yes, new session |
| Functional | Persistent | 90 days | Yes |
| Analytics | Persistent | 30 days | Yes |
| Marketing | Persistent | 90 days | Yes, unless refused |
Changes We May Make
When we add a new cookie, shorten a retention period or bring on a new third party, we update this page and change the date at the top to 2026. For material changes, such as a new marketing partner, we also show our banner again so you can confirm or withdraw your consent. You will never get a silent change to how your data is used.
Questions about any cookie on this page go to our Data Protection Officer at [email protected], answered within one working day.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to accept cookies to play at Betmaximus Casino?
No. You can reject every category except strictly necessary cookies and still play, claim the welcome bonus and withdraw. Necessary cookies only cover login, security and payment flows.
Will blocking cookies affect my withdrawals?
Blocking marketing or analytics cookies has no effect. Blocking strictly necessary cookies can interrupt the payment and verification steps, so keep those enabled while you transact.
How do I change my cookie choices later?
Open the "Cookie settings" link in the footer of any page on betmaximus.org.uk. The panel lets you switch analytics and marketing on or off, and your choice applies from that moment.
Do cookies store my card details?
No. Cookies never hold card numbers or wallet credentials. Payment data is processed by the payment providers under their own security standards.
