Our Privacy Practices
Read how how-to-bet-on-basketball.com collects, stores and protects your data in compliance with applicable US privacy standards.
What information does this site collect?
How To Bet On Basketball is an informational wiki. We do not operate a sportsbook, accept wagers, or process payments. The personal data we may collect is limited to what your browser sends automatically (IP address, browser type, referring URL) through standard server logs, plus any information you voluntarily submit if you contact us by email.
If we use third-party analytics tools, those services may place cookies on your device to help us understand which pages — like our overview of basketball bet types or our sportsbook rankings — get the most traffic. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time without losing access to any content on this site.
How do we use your data?
Any data collected is used solely to operate and improve this site. We do not sell, rent, or trade your information to third parties. We do not build advertising profiles or send unsolicited email. Server log data is retained only as long as needed for security and diagnostic purposes, then deleted.
Do we share data with anyone?
We may share anonymized, aggregated traffic statistics — nothing that identifies you personally — with hosting or analytics providers bound by their own privacy policies. We will disclose information if required to do so by law. That is the full extent of any sharing.
External links and third-party sites
This site links to licensed sportsbooks, state regulators, and other external resources for informational purposes. When you follow a link to an external site — for example, to read about basketball betting legality in your state or to check how old you need to be by visiting our page on legal betting age requirements — you leave our property entirely. We have no control over how those sites collect or handle your data, and this privacy policy does not apply to them.
Children's privacy
This site covers real-money sports wagering, which is restricted to adults 21 and older in most US states (18 in a small number of states — see our legal age guide for details). We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted information to us, contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Your choices and contact
You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal data we hold about you by emailing us at the address listed on our About This Site and Our Lead Writer Nina Castillo page. We will respond within a reasonable time. California residents and residents of other states with applicable privacy laws may have additional rights under state law; contact us to exercise them.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the site evolves. Material changes will be noted in the page text with a revised date written out in full (e.g., "Updated January 1, 2026"). Continued use of the site after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. If you have questions, reach out through the contact details on our about page.
