What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site owners. When you return to a website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognise your device and remember your preferences or past actions.
Cookies perform various functions. Some are essential for the operation of a website, enabling core functionalities like secure logins or shopping cart features. Others help us understand how visitors use our site, which pages are most popular, or if they encounter any errors. This information helps us improve our services. Additionally, some cookies are used for advertising purposes, helping to deliver more relevant advertisements to you.
How We Use Cookies
SpeedyBet uses cookies for several purposes, aiming to enhance your browsing experience and improve our services. These purposes include:
- Ensuring the security and integrity of our platform.
- Remembering your preferences, such as language settings or betting choices.
- Analysing how our website is used, allowing us to identify areas for improvement.
- Personalising your experience by showing you content and promotions relevant to your interests.
- Facilitating the login process and managing your account securely.
- Complying with regulatory requirements, including those related to responsible gambling.
By using SpeedyBet, you agree to our use of cookies in accordance with this Cookie Policy. You have choices regarding the use of cookies, and we explain these options further below.
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies, also known as strictly necessary cookies, are fundamental for the operation of the SpeedyBet website. These cookies enable core functionalities without which the site cannot function properly. They are typically set in response to actions made by you, such as logging in, filling out forms, or setting privacy preferences. Without these cookies, certain services you have requested, like accessing secure areas of the website or making transactions, cannot be provided. We do not require your explicit consent for these cookies because they are necessary for the provision of the service you have requested.
- Session Management: These cookies maintain your session on SpeedyBet, so you remain logged in as you navigate between pages.
- Security: They help us detect and prevent security threats and ensure the integrity of our platform.
- Compliance: Certain essential cookies are used to meet our legal and regulatory obligations, such as age verification or responsible gambling checks.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use the SpeedyBet website, such as which pages are visited most often, the time spent on each page, and if users encounter any error messages. This data is aggregated and anonymised, meaning it does not identify you personally. We use this information to understand user behaviour, identify trends, and improve the performance and design of our website and services. For example, by knowing which features are most popular, we can focus our development efforts accordingly. These cookies help us make SpeedyBet more intuitive and efficient for all users.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow SpeedyBet to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personal features. For instance, they can remember your username, language preference, or the region you are in. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other customisable parts of web pages. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites. Their purpose is to improve your experience by making the site more convenient and tailored to your preferences, ensuring SpeedyBet remembers your settings for future visits.
Marketing and Advertising Cookies
Marketing and advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by our advertising partners with our permission. They remember that you have visited SpeedyBet and this information may be shared with other organisations, such as advertisers. This allows us to present you with targeted advertisements on other websites based on your activity on SpeedyBet. We aim to show you promotions and offers that are genuinely relevant to your betting interests.
Third-Party Cookies
In addition to the cookies set by SpeedyBet, some cookies may be placed on your device by third parties when you visit our website. These third-party cookies are set by domains other than SpeedyBet.com. They are often used for analytics, advertising, and social media integration. For example, we may use third-party analytics services to help us understand how our website is used, or third-party advertising networks to display relevant ads. We select our third-party partners carefully, ensuring they adhere to high standards of data protection. While we strive to work only with reputable third parties, we do not directly control the operations of these cookies. You should refer to the respective third party's privacy and cookie policies for more information on their practices.
How Long Cookies Last
The duration for which a cookie remains on your device depends on whether it is a "session" cookie or a "persistent" cookie.
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that remain on your device only until you close your web browser. Once you close your browser, the session cookie is deleted. They are primarily used for essential functions, such as maintaining your login session.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a longer period, specified in the cookie's file. They are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie. Persistent cookies are used for various purposes, including remembering your preferences, tracking your activity over time for analytics, and delivering targeted advertising. For example, a persistent cookie might remember your preferred language setting for several months.
The exact expiration period for persistent cookies used by SpeedyBet varies depending on the specific cookie and its purpose. Details on specific cookie durations can often be found in your browser's cookie settings.
Managing and Disabling Cookies

Please note that if you choose to disable or reject certain cookies, particularly essential ones, some parts of the SpeedyBet website may not function correctly or may become inaccessible.

Do Not Track
"Do Not Track" (DNT) is a privacy preference that users can set in their web browsers. When enabled, DNT sends a signal to websites indicating that the user does not wish to be tracked. SpeedyBet respects user privacy preferences. However, it is important to note that there is no universally agreed-upon standard for how websites should interpret and respond to DNT signals. Consequently, while we acknowledge DNT requests, our website's response to these signals may not be uniform across all our services or third-party integrations. We encourage you to manage your cookie preferences directly through your browser settings as described in the "Managing and Disabling Cookies" section for the most direct control over your data.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
SpeedyBet may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are using cookies. Your continued use of the SpeedyBet website after any changes to this policy will constitute your acceptance of such changes.
