Privacy Policy

Last updated: 18 April 2026

AfricaBetTips.com (“ABT,” “we,” “us”) is an independent editorial and affiliate content site. We are not a betting operator. We do not accept wagers, hold deposits, or process betting transactions. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and what rights you have over it.

By using AfricaBetTips.com, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please stop using the site.

What Data We Collect

ABT collects limited data to operate the site and improve your experience. We do not collect betting activity, financial information, or personal identification documents.

Analytics Data

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. This collects your anonymised IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, pages visited and time spent, referring site or search engine, and general geographic location (country and city level, not precise location).

Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this data. Your IP address is anonymised before storage, meaning we cannot identify you personally from analytics data alone.

Cookies

ABT uses cookies for the following purposes.

Essential cookies keep the site functioning. These handle basic operations like remembering your cookie consent preference.

Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) track site usage as described above. These cookies are set by Google, not by ABT directly.

Affiliate tracking cookies are placed when you click an affiliate link to a betting operator. These cookies allow the operator’s affiliate programme to attribute your visit to ABT, which is how we earn commission. Affiliate cookies are set by the operator or affiliate network, not by ABT. Each operator sets its own cookie duration, typically between 30 and 90 days.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking analytics and affiliate cookies will not affect your ability to read ABT content. Blocking essential cookies may affect site functionality.

Email Address

If you subscribe to an ABT email list or newsletter, we collect the email address you provide. We use this only to send you the content you signed up for. We do not sell, rent, or share your email address with third parties. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email we send.

Information You Send Us Directly

If you contact us through the contact page or by email, we receive whatever information you choose to include in your message. We use this only to respond to your enquiry and do not add your contact details to any marketing list without your explicit consent.

What Data We Do Not Collect

ABT is not a betting operator and does not collect any of the following: betting history or wagering activity, payment card or bank account details, identification documents, deposits, withdrawals, or account balances, login credentials for any betting account.

If you click an affiliate link and sign up with a betting operator, any data you provide to that operator is governed by their own privacy policy, not ours.

Third-Party Services

ABT uses the following third-party services that may collect data when you visit the site.

Google Analytics (analytics): collects anonymised usage data as described above. Google’s privacy policy applies to data they process. You can opt out of Google Analytics entirely by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.

Affiliate networks and betting operators (affiliate tracking): when you click an affiliate link, the destination operator or affiliate network may set cookies on your device. Each operator has its own privacy policy governing how they handle your data. ABT does not control or access the data collected by operators after you leave our site.

Email service provider (email delivery): if you subscribe to our email list, your email address is stored by our email service provider for the sole purpose of delivering the content you signed up for.

Hosting provider (server logs): our web hosting provider automatically logs basic access data (IP address, timestamp, page requested) as part of standard server operation. This data is used for security monitoring and is not shared with third parties.

Affiliate Link Tracking

ABT earns revenue through affiliate commissions. When you click a link to a betting operator on our site, that link may contain a tracking parameter that identifies ABT as the referring site. If you then register or deposit with that operator, ABT may earn a commission.

This tracking identifies ABT as the referral source. It does not give ABT access to your betting account, your personal details held by the operator, or your wagering history. Affiliate tracking is handled entirely by the operator or their affiliate network.

Your Rights

Depending on where you are located, you may have specific rights over your personal data.

If You Are in Nigeria

The Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 (NDPA) gives you the right to know what personal data we hold about you, to request correction of inaccurate data, to request deletion of your data, to withdraw consent for data processing, and to lodge a complaint with the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC).

If You Are in South Africa

The Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) gives you similar rights, including the right to access, correct, and delete your personal data. You may lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator.

If You Are in Kenya

The Data Protection Act 2019 provides rights of access, correction, and deletion. The Office of the Data Protection Commissioner handles complaints.

If You Are in the EU/UK

If you access ABT from the EU or UK, the GDPR and UK GDPR apply. You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, data portability, and to object to processing. Our lawful bases for processing are legitimate interest (analytics for site improvement) and consent (email subscription, non-essential cookies).

For All Users

Regardless of your location, you can request access to the data we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete your data, unsubscribe from email communications at any time, and adjust cookie settings in your browser. We aim to respond to all data requests within 30 days.

Data Retention

Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics’ default retention settings (currently 14 months). Email addresses are retained for as long as you remain subscribed and removed from active lists within 30 days of unsubscribing. Contact form messages are retained for up to 12 months, then deleted.

Children

ABT content is intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. When we make significant changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
