These terms of use cover the practical side of using fortunica-casinos.uk.com: which bots are welcome, how to quote and link to our guides, how to report an error and what happens when someone complains about our content. They apply to every visitor, in addition to our website terms and conditions.
Age and purpose
Use of this website is limited to people aged 18 and over. We write for adults who want to understand Fortunica’s terms before they make any decision. Neither the website nor anything taken from it may be used to encourage anyone under 18 to gamble, or to promote gambling to people who have excluded themselves.
Acceptable use
The website may be used for lawful purposes only. In particular, you must not:
- use it in a way that breaks any law that applies to you;
- pretend to be us, or create pages, profiles or emails that look as if they come from this website;
- send us material that is defamatory, threatening or abusive, or that infringes someone else’s rights.
Automated access and scraping
Crawlers, search engines included, are welcome as long as they identify themselves honestly and respect our robots.txt file. What we do not allow:
- scraping or bulk-downloading pages to republish them, build a copy of the website or run a mirror;
- sending requests at a rate that slows the website down for other readers;
- disguising a bot as a human visitor, or rotating addresses and user agents to get round rate limits or blocks;
- harvesting email addresses or other contact details from our pages.
Researchers who need data from our pages should email us before collecting it. Addresses, networks or user agents that break these rules may be blocked without notice.
Quoting and reusing our content
Short extracts are fine to quote in a review, article, forum post or study: up to about 100 words, or a single table row, from any page, provided you:
- name fortunica-casinos.uk.com as the source and link to the page you quoted;
- keep the date the figures were checked;
- keep the meaning intact and leave in any warning, licence information or 18+ notice that belongs to the passage;
- do not present our words as the operator’s terms or as your own work.
Anything larger, such as republishing whole pages, sections or tables, translating a guide or using our text in advertising, needs our written permission, given by email.
Security
Do not try to gain unauthorised access to the website, its server, its admin area or any connected system, scan it for vulnerabilities without permission, upload malicious code or attempt a denial-of-service attack. Any of these may be an offence under the Computer Misuse Act 1990, and we will report them to the relevant authorities.
Anyone who comes across a security weakness in good faith should email us the details without testing further or publishing them. We fix confirmed problems as quickly as we can.
Linking to this website
No permission is needed to link to fortunica-casinos.uk.com or to any other page, as long as the link is fair and lawful. Please do not:
- suggest that we endorse you, your website or any operator, or that we are connected with Fortunica;
- frame our pages on another website;
- link to us from content aimed at under-18s or from content that targets people who have self-excluded from gambling;
- post links to us as spam, including comment spam.
We may ask you to remove a link.
Sending us information and corrections
There are no user accounts, comment sections or forums here, so anything you want to send us goes by email to [email protected]. When you write:
- leave out identity documents, card or bank details, casino passwords and any screenshot that shows them; we have no use for any of these;
- by sending a correction, tip or screenshot of the operator’s terms, you allow us to use that information, free of charge, to check and update our pages;
- we will not publish your name, email address or any quote from your message without your permission.
Our data protection notice explains what happens to the personal data in your emails.
Reporting errors
Casino terms change, and reports from readers help keep our figures up to date. The most useful ones include:
- the page address and the sentence or table row that is wrong;
- what you believe is correct;
- where you saw it, ideally a screenshot of the operator’s terms or cashier showing the date.
We check each report against the operator’s current terms. If the error is confirmed, we correct it and update the page’s checked date. If it cannot be confirmed, we may add a note that sources differ.
Complaints about our content
If you believe something we published is inaccurate or unfair, infringes your rights, or breaks advertising or gambling rules, email us with the subject “Content complaint”, the page address and your reasons. You will get a full reply within 14 days of our receiving it. Should checking with sources take longer, we will explain why within those 14 days and say when to expect an answer. The reply sets out what we decided and our reasons, whether that is correcting the page, adding a clarification, removing material or leaving it as it is.
Our complaints process covers this website only. Problems with a Fortunica account, bonus or withdrawal belong with the operator, which gives [email protected] as the address for them; we cannot see player accounts and have no say in what the operator decides.
Accessibility
Our target is the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA. In practice that means a logical heading order, text alternatives for images, tables with header rows, readable colour contrast and text that can be enlarged without the layout breaking. Not every part meets that standard yet. If any part of the website is unusable for you, email us the page address and the problem, and we will try to provide the information in another format.
Responsible use
Nothing on this website is meant to nudge you into gambling. Fortunica is not licensed by the UK Gambling Commission, so UK protections such as GAMSTOP do not apply. If you have registered with GAMSTOP, please don’t use this or any other gambling site. Anyone who does gamble should fix a budget and a time limit beforehand and stop at whichever comes first. If gambling is affecting your money, sleep, work or relationships, call 0808 8020 133, the National Gambling Helpline. Calls are free and confidential, and the line never closes.
Suspension and updates
Anyone who breaks these terms of use may have their access restricted or suspended. The rules themselves may be revised. Each new version governs your use from the day it is published, and the effective date in the box above tells you which one is current.
18+ only. Gambling can be harmful. Ring 0808 8020 133 for free, confidential help from the National Gambling Helpline, 24 hours a day; GamCare also runs it by live chat and WhatsApp. GambleAware (gambleaware.org) offers advice, a self-assessment and a directory of local services. With GAMSTOP (gamstop.co.uk) you can exclude yourself from operators licensed in Great Britain. On your phone or computer, gambling sites and apps can be blocked with BetBlocker (free) or Gamban, and many banks offer a gambling payments block in their app.
