Our Cookie Policy
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep duelcasino-pokies.com working, secure and tailored to you. This page sets out, in plain language, what we place on your device, who else may set cookies through our site, and the choices you have.
What Cookies Actually Are
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. Each one stores a snippet of data, such as a session identifier or your chosen language, and sends it back to us on your next visit so the site remembers you.
- Session cookies vanish when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies stay until they expire or you delete them.
- Similar technologies (local storage, pixels) follow the rules on this page too.
The Cookies We Set
Strictly necessary
These keep the site functioning. Without them you cannot log in, maintain a session, or complete a deposit. The Duel Casino platform sets them automatically, and we do not ask for consent first because the site cannot operate without them. Examples include a session ID that keeps you logged in and a security cookie that protects forms against fraud.
Functional
Functional cookies remember your choices: language, currency display, game filters, and whether you have dismissed our bonus banner. They are convenient rather than essential, so you can refuse them without breaking core play.
Analytics
We use analytics cookies to understand, in aggregate, how visitors move around the site: which pokies get the most play, where people drop off during sign-up, and how fast pages load on Australian connections. The data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
Marketing
Marketing cookies let us show you relevant Duel Casino promotions, such as a reminder that your 200% welcome bonus with 200 free spins is still unclaimed. They also limit how often you see the same ad. Turning them off means you will still see ads, just less relevant ones.
Summary table
| Cookie type | Purpose | Duration | Opt-out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Login, security, session | Session to 365 days | Cannot be disabled |
| Functional | Language, preferences | Up to 90 days | Via banner or browser |
| Analytics | Aggregated site usage | Up to 90 days | Via banner or browser |
| Marketing | Retargeting, promo ads | Up to 365 days | Via banner or browser |
Third Party Cookies Explained
Third-party cookies are set by partners whose services run on our site, not by us directly. We allow three categories: analytics providers that measure site performance, advertising networks that deliver and measure our promo campaigns, and payment providers whose cookies keep your deposit flow secure during checkout.
We do not sell your data, and we contractually require our partners to process it only for the purpose they were engaged for. If a payment provider needs a cookie to complete a PayID or card transaction, that cookie falls under the strictly necessary category even though it comes from a third party.
Manage Your Cookie Preferences
On our site
When you first visit, our cookie banner lets you accept all categories or open granular settings where you can toggle functional, analytics and marketing cookies individually. You can reopen those settings at any time via the "Cookie settings" link in the footer and change your mind whenever you like.

What happens if you block
Blocking strictly necessary cookies will stop you from logging in, depositing and playing. Blocking functional or marketing cookies only limits convenience: the site may forget your language, show generic ads, and ask for your preferences again each visit.
How Long We Keep Them
Each category has its own lifespan. Session cookies are deleted the moment you close your browser. Functional cookies typically last up to 90 days so the site remembers your setup between visits. Analytics cookies persist up to 90 days as well, giving us stable measurement windows without holding data indefinitely.
Marketing cookies are the longest-lived, up to 365 days, because ad platforms use them to avoid showing you the same promotion repeatedly. You can clear any cookie at any time through your browser settings, which deletes it ahead of schedule.
When We Update This Policy
We review this policy whenever we add a new partner, cookie category or legal requirement. If a change affects how your data is used in a meaningful way, we post a notice on the site and update the version date here. Continued use of duelcasino-pokies.com after a change means you accept the updated policy, and our banner will reappear where we need fresh consent.
Frequently asked questions
Does Duel Casino use cookies to track my gameplay?
Analytics cookies record how the site is used in aggregate, but they do not track your individual bets or game history. That data sits in your player account, not in cookies.
Can I play without accepting marketing cookies?
Yes. Marketing cookies are optional. Refuse them in the banner and you can still log in, deposit and play as normal.
How do I delete cookies already on my device?
Use your browser's privacy settings to clear cookies and site data, or delete them individually. Our Cookie settings link in the footer also lets you withdraw consent category by category.
Do cookies hold my payment details?
No. Cookies never store card numbers or wallet credentials. Payment cookies relate only to session integrity during checkout.
