Fortebet publishes reviews, odds comparisons and guides for sports betting and casino play in the Republic of the Congo. Running that kind of site involves a modest amount of information about the people who read it - far less than most visitors assume, but not zero. This page explains what is collected, why it exists, and what becomes of it.
The wording here is deliberately plain rather than legalistic. Where a sentence stays general, it is because clarity matters more than clause-by-clause precision, and you can always write in for a direct answer about your own case. The short version: little is stored, none of it is sold, and removal is a request away.
Everything we publish is meant for adults. The 18+ rule applies to every review, every odds table and every registration link on this site. Identity and age verification on an operator's platform belongs to that operator, and we neither hold those checks nor help anyone around them.
What happens when you open a page here?
Our server records the ordinary technical details that any web host writes down: an IP address, the browser and operating system string your device sends, screen size, the page you arrived from, and the time of the request. This happens automatically, before you click anything, and it is how the site knows whether to serve a mobile layout or a desktop one.
Those entries are read in bulk, not one by one. Knowing that most readers in Brazzaville and Pointe-Noire arrive on Android handsets over mobile data is why our odds tables scroll sideways instead of shrinking to unreadable text, and why stake figures are shown in FCFA rather than converted currencies. No name, phone number or betting account sits beside any of it.
Why would we ever ask you for details?
Most of the site asks for nothing at all. You can read a bookmaker review, compare payout notes or scan a slots list without typing a single character about yourself. Details only enter the picture when you choose to start a conversation - a newsletter sign-up, a feedback or complaint form, or an email sent to us directly.
In those cases we hold what you actually typed and nothing more:
- the email address you wrote from, so a reply can reach you;
- the message itself, including any screenshot you attach;
- which operator or page your question concerns, so it reaches the right editor.
We do not ask for identity documents, card numbers or betting account passwords. If a message arrives containing them, it gets deleted and you will be asked to resend without them.
How do cookies and trackers behave on this site?
A handful of small files sit in your browser to keep the site usable. They remember your language choice, hold a session while you move between pages, and note that you have already dismissed the age and cookie notices so they stop reappearing. Alongside those, an analytics cookie counts visits and shows which guides get read to the end and which get abandoned halfway.
You are free to clear or block all of it from your browser settings. The site keeps working afterwards; you will simply be treated as a first-time visitor each time, with the notices back and your language preference reset. Operator sites reached through our links run their own cookies under their own policies, and once you leave our pages those rules apply instead of ours.
Do we sell or trade what we know about you?
No. There is no data sale, no list rental, and no arrangement where a marketing firm pays for reader records. Fortebet earns through affiliate arrangements with the operators we review, which works on counts rather than identities: an operator can see that a registration came via our link, not who you are or what you read beforehand.
Information does pass to a small number of suppliers who make the site function - hosting, email delivery and analytics - and they may only use it to provide that service. Beyond that, disclosure happens only where a lawful order from a competent Congolese authority requires it. If that ever occurred, we would limit the response to precisely what was demanded.
How long do records stay on file?
Server logs run on a rolling window and are overwritten as new traffic arrives, typically within a few months. Email threads stay while the matter is live and for a short period afterwards, since follow-up questions about a withdrawal delay or a disputed bonus often arrive weeks later. Newsletter addresses remain until you unsubscribe.
When something is deleted, encrypted backups may still hold a copy briefly before they rotate out on their own schedule. Aggregate figures - page views, device shares, referral counts - survive longer, but they carry no personal identifiers and cannot be traced back to an individual reader.
How do you ask about, correct or erase your data?
Write to sup***@*** Send it from the address you used with us, describe what you want - a copy, a correction, or full deletion - and mention roughly when you first contacted us if you remember. That is usually enough to locate the record without any further verification, and we aim to answer within a few working days.
One important limit: we cannot reach into a bookmaker's system. Account closures, deposit limits, self-exclusion and verification disputes must go to the operator's own support team, since they hold those records and we never see them. If you feel your betting is no longer under control, stop and use the operator's limit and self-exclusion tools before anything else. Betting stays 18+, and it is entertainment paid for with money you can afford to lose.
