Privacy Policy – BetPat.com
Last Updated: 5 November 2026
Introduction
Welcome to BetPat.com. We recognise the importance of protecting your privacy and ensuring that any personal information you share with us is treated responsibly, securely and transparently.
BetPat.com is an independent website providing information about online bookmakers, betting promotions, casino offers, free bets, free spins, sporting events and other gambling-related services, primarily for visitors in Ireland.
This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, processed, stored and protected when you visit our website. It also outlines your rights under applicable data protection legislation, including the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and relevant Irish data protection laws.
By using BetPat.com, you can learn about how your information is handled through this policy. Where consent is legally required for particular activities, such as certain cookies, we will seek that consent separately.
1. Who We Are
BetPat.com operates as an independent sports betting information, comparison and affiliate marketing website.
Our purpose is to help visitors discover and compare bookmakers, online casinos, promotional offers, betting markets and other gambling-related products.
We do not directly operate an online sportsbook or casino, accept wagers, process gambling deposits or manage betting accounts.
Some links on our website lead to external gambling operators. We may receive a commission when visitors follow these links and complete qualifying activities with the relevant operator.
For data protection purposes, the organisation or individual responsible for operating BetPat.com is the controller of personal information collected directly through this website.
Website: https://betpat.com
2. Information We May Collect
The information collected through BetPat.com depends on how visitors interact with the website and which services or features they choose to use.
Information Collected Automatically
When you browse our website, certain technical information may be collected through our hosting infrastructure, security systems, analytics services and other website technologies.
This information may include your IP address, browser type, device characteristics, operating system, pages visited, approximate geographical location, referring website, visit duration and interactions with website content.
We may also collect technical information needed to identify website errors, monitor performance and protect the website against unauthorised access or malicious activity.
Information You Provide Voluntarily
If you contact BetPat.com by email or through a website contact form, we may collect your name, email address and any information included in your message.
This information is used to respond to enquiries, address concerns and manage communications.
We ask visitors not to submit sensitive personal information unless it is genuinely necessary for their enquiry.
Affiliate Referral Information
BetPat.com participates in affiliate marketing arrangements with third-party gambling operators and advertising partners.
When you select a promotional link, referral technologies may record information about the interaction. This may include the originating page, referral identifier, date and time of the click, and other technical information necessary to attribute referrals.
Depending on the affiliate programme and technologies involved, some information may be collected by third-party providers rather than directly by BetPat.com.
We do not ordinarily require visitors to provide payment card details, gambling account passwords or banking information to browse our website.
3. How We Use Information
Information collected through BetPat.com may be processed for several legitimate website purposes.
These include operating and maintaining the website, improving navigation, understanding which content visitors find useful, responding to enquiries and identifying technical problems.
We may also use information to assess the performance of affiliate promotions, understand general visitor trends, prevent fraudulent activity and maintain website security.
Where appropriate, aggregated or anonymised information may be used to evaluate website performance and improve our editorial coverage.
We do not sell visitors’ personal contact information to bookmakers or other third parties.
Any processing of personal information will be carried out in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.
4. Legal Grounds for Processing Personal Data
Under the GDPR, personal information must be processed on an appropriate legal basis.
Depending on the circumstances, BetPat.com may rely on the following grounds:
Legitimate Interests: Where necessary to maintain website security, manage routine operations, respond to relevant enquiries and improve our services, provided these interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.
Consent: Where you have provided permission for particular activities, such as the use of non-essential cookies or certain analytics and advertising technologies.
Legal Obligations: Where processing is necessary to comply with applicable legislation, regulatory requirements or lawful requests.
Contractual Necessity: Where processing is necessary to fulfil an agreement or take steps requested by an individual before entering into an agreement, if such circumstances arise.
Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
5. Cookies and Similar Technologies
BetPat.com may use cookies and related technologies to support website functionality, improve performance, measure visitor activity and track affiliate referrals.
Cookies are small files stored on a device when visiting a website. They can help websites remember preferences and recognise certain browsing interactions.
Cookies used on BetPat.com may fall into the following categories.
Essential Cookies
These support core website functions, security and technical operation. They may be necessary for the website to function correctly.
Analytics Cookies
These may help us understand visitor numbers, popular pages, browsing patterns and general website performance.
Affiliate Tracking Cookies
Affiliate partners may use cookies or similar technologies to identify referrals originating from BetPat.com and determine whether qualifying activity takes place on their platforms.
Advertising and Marketing Cookies
Where applicable, these technologies may be used to measure advertising performance or support relevant promotional activity.
Non-essential cookies and similar technologies will only be used where the necessary consent has been obtained, in accordance with applicable Irish and European requirements.
Visitors should be provided with an appropriate method of managing their cookie preferences and withdrawing consent.
Browser settings may also allow users to block or delete cookies, although doing so can affect certain website features.
6. Affiliate Links and Third-Party Gambling Websites
BetPat.com contains links to independently operated bookmakers, online casinos and other third-party websites.
These links may be affiliate links, meaning BetPat.com could receive compensation when a visitor registers, deposits funds or completes another qualifying activity with an external provider.
Following an affiliate link may result in the collection of referral information by the relevant affiliate network or gambling operator.
Once you leave BetPat.com, the external website’s own privacy policy, cookie practices and terms of service will apply.
We do not control how independent gambling operators collect, process or retain information submitted directly to their websites.
Visitors should review the privacy policies of individual operators before registering an account or providing personal or financial information.
7. Analytics and Website Performance
We may use website analytics and performance monitoring services to better understand how BetPat.com is accessed and used.
Such services can provide information about visitor numbers, page views, device types, referral sources and general browsing activity.
Where analytics technologies involve personal data or non-essential cookies, we will apply the relevant consent and data protection requirements.
Information obtained through analytics may be used to improve website functionality, identify technical issues and develop content that better serves our audience.
8. Sharing Information With Third Parties
BetPat.com may share limited personal information with trusted service providers where necessary for legitimate website operations.
These providers may include website hosting companies, technical support services, security providers, analytics platforms and affiliate tracking partners.
Where third parties process personal information on our behalf, appropriate data protection arrangements will be maintained as required by law.
We may also disclose information where legally required, including in response to a valid request from a competent authority.
We do not disclose personal information to unrelated third parties simply for their independent marketing purposes without an appropriate legal basis.
9: Protecting Visitor Information
Protecting visitor information is an important part of operating BetPat.com.
We aim to use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information being processed.
These may include secure website connections, access restrictions, software updates, website monitoring and appropriate hosting security measures.
However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Visitors should therefore exercise appropriate caution when sharing personal information online.
10. How Long We Keep Information
Personal information will only be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, subject to any applicable legal requirements.
For example, correspondence may be retained while an enquiry is being handled and for an appropriate period afterwards where necessary for record-keeping.
Technical and security information may be retained for periods appropriate to maintaining website reliability and investigating potential misuse.
Cookie retention periods may vary depending on the technology and provider involved.
When personal information is no longer required, we will take appropriate steps to delete it, anonymise it or otherwise dispose of it securely.
11. International Data Transfers
Some website service providers, affiliate networks or technology platforms may process information outside Ireland or the European Economic Area.
Where personal data is transferred internationally, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that any transfer complies with applicable data protection legislation.
This may involve reliance on European Commission adequacy decisions or the use of recognised safeguards, such as approved Standard Contractual Clauses.
12. Your Rights Under GDPR
Individuals whose personal information is processed by BetPat.com may have several rights under the GDPR, subject to the conditions and exemptions provided by law.
These include the right to request access to personal information held about them, correct inaccurate information and request deletion where appropriate.
Individuals may also have the right to restrict certain processing activities, object to processing based on legitimate interests and request data portability where applicable.
Where information is processed on the basis of consent, that consent may be withdrawn.
You also have the right not to be subject to certain decisions based solely on automated processing where the relevant GDPR protections apply.
To exercise your rights, please contact us using the details provided in this policy.
We will consider requests in accordance with applicable legislation and normally respond within one month, subject to any lawful extension.
13. Children’s Privacy and Age Restrictions
BetPat.com publishes information relating to gambling products and services intended exclusively for adults.
Our gambling-related content is not directed towards individuals under the age of 18.
We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children for gambling marketing purposes.
If we become aware that personal information has been collected from a child in circumstances where it should not have been collected, we will take appropriate steps to address the matter.
Gambling carries financial risks and should only be undertaken by adults who meet the legal eligibility requirements of their jurisdiction.
14. Responsible Gambling
BetPat.com supports responsible gambling and encourages visitors to approach all forms of betting as entertainment rather than a means of earning income.
Betting and casino games involve financial risk, and losses are always possible.
Visitors should never gamble with money needed for essential living expenses and should establish clear limits on the time and money they are prepared to spend.
Independent gambling operators are responsible for implementing their own account verification, age restrictions, responsible gambling measures and customer data protection procedures.
Anyone concerned about their gambling habits should consider seeking confidential support from an appropriate gambling support organisation.
15. External Websites and Embedded Content
Our website may feature links, videos, images, social media integrations or other content supplied by external providers.
Some embedded services may collect technical information or use cookies when visitors interact with them.
The privacy practices of these providers are governed by their own policies.
BetPat.com cannot guarantee the privacy or security practices of websites and services operated independently of us.
16. Complaints and Data Protection Concerns
If you have concerns about how your personal information has been handled, we encourage you to contact BetPat.com so that we can investigate the matter.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority.
In Ireland, the supervisory authority is the Data Protection Commission.
Data Protection Commission

The Commission provides information about individual data protection rights and the procedures for raising concerns or submitting complaints.
17. Changes to This Privacy Policy

When significant changes are made, the updated version will be published on BetPat.com with a revised date.
Visitors are encouraged to review this page occasionally to remain informed about how their information is processed.
