Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 31, 2026

NCSlots.com (“NCSlots,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is an independent informational website about North Carolina casino, slots, lottery, and legal betting topics. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you visit the site, read our guides, or contact us.

1. Information we may receive

Technical and usage data: Our hosting, security, and analytics providers may process information such as IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, approximate location, timestamps, and security events.
Information you choose to send: If you email us or use a contact method, we receive the information you provide, such as your name, email address, message, and attachments.
Current site functions: NCSlots does not currently require user accounts, process payments, operate wagering, or host real-money games on this website.

2. Cookies and similar technologies

We and our service providers may use necessary cookies for security, site operation, preferences, and performance. When non-essential analytics or advertising tools are enabled, they may use cookies, pixels, tags, or similar identifiers. Where consent is required, non-essential tools should be enabled only after the visitor makes the applicable choice.

3. Google Analytics and Site Kit

We may use Site Kit by Google to connect Google Analytics. When enabled, Google Analytics may process event and engagement data, device and browser information, referring URLs, approximate location, and a pseudonymous identifier. Google Analytics 4 uses an IP address at collection time to estimate location and then discards it before logging; our hosting and security logs may still process IP addresses. We do not intentionally send names, email addresses, or other directly identifying information to Google Analytics.

Google processes information under its own policies. See the Google Privacy Policy and Google Analytics privacy controls.

4. Advertising and affiliate links

If we enable Google Ads or another advertising service, that provider may use cookies or advertising identifiers and may receive information about visits as described in its own privacy policy. We will update this notice when advertising tools are added and will use consent controls where required.

Some future links may be affiliate links. If a link or promotion creates a material financial relationship, we will disclose it near the link or in the relevant guide. Affiliate partners may process information under their own policies when you leave NCSlots.

5. How we use information

To operate, secure, maintain, and improve the site.
To understand aggregate traffic and content performance.
To respond to questions, requests, or reports.
To detect abuse, fraud, and technical problems.
To comply with law and protect our rights.

6. Sharing and service providers

We may share information with hosting, security, analytics, advertising, email, and affiliate service providers when needed to operate the site or provide a requested service. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect users or the site, or during a business transfer. We do not sell personal information as a standalone data-broker business.

7. Your choices and opt-outs

Use your browser settings to block or delete cookies.
Use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Manage Google advertising personalization at Google Ads Settings.
Where a consent banner is shown, reject or withdraw non-essential consent through that control.
Send a privacy request to legal@ncslots.com.

8. Retention and security

We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described here, security, dispute resolution, and legal obligations. No online service is completely secure, but we use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards appropriate to the information we handle.

9. Children and gambling-related content

NCSlots is intended for adults. Visitors must be at least 18 years old, or the higher age required where they live, to use gambling-related information on the site. NCSlots does not operate wagers or accept bets. Gambling-related content is informational only; never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose, and seek help if gambling is causing harm.

10. Privacy requests and updates

For privacy questions or requests, contact legal@ncslots.com. General questions may be sent to hello@ncslots.com. We may update this policy as the site, analytics, advertising, or affiliate relationships change. The effective date above identifies the latest revision.
