1. Introduction & General Scope
This Cookie Policy applies to all digital platforms owned, operated, or licensed by Fanatics Casino, including our web portal located at https://fanaticscasino.app/, mobile applications for iOS and Android, responsive web applications, and integrated FanCash reward modules.
When you visit or interact with Fanatics Casino, we and our authorized third-party service providers use tracking technologies—such as cookies, web beacons, software development kits (SDKs), pixels, and local browser storage—to collect information automatically. This data ensures seamless session management, enhances account safety, verifies physical state borders as required by iGaming regulators, and powers personalized FanCash promotional rewards.
By continuing to navigate Fanatics Casino, creating an account, or downloading our application, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions.
2. What Are Cookies & Related Tracking Technologies?
Tracking technologies are tiny data files or code snippets placed on your desktop computer, smartphone, or tablet when you interact with online platforms. On Fanatics Casino, these mechanisms fulfill several technical roles:
- HTTP Cookies: Small text files placed in your browser directory. Cookies enable Fanatics Casino to recognize your device across multiple pages or during subsequent visits, maintaining active login sessions and customized player preferences.
- Session vs. Persistent Cookies: Session Cookies are temporary markers that expire automatically once you close your browser or log out. Persistent Cookies remain stored on your hard disk or device storage for a specified retention period (or until manually deleted), allowing us to remember your username, language, and custom table game configurations.
- First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies: First-party cookies are set directly by Fanatics Casino. Third-party cookies are deployed by trusted partners, including cybersecurity audit firms, regulatory geolocation providers, analytics networks, and affiliate engines.
- Web Beacons & Pixels: Transparent 1x1 image files embedded in pages and promotional emails. They track user interaction, helping Fanatics Casino gauge email open rates and verify affiliate referral bonuses.
- Local Storage (HTML5 / Mobile SDKs): Web browser storage mechanisms and mobile SDK code libraries embedded in our native iOS/Android apps to cache assets, store encrypted tokens, and run game animations smoothly without lag.

A. Strictly Necessary & Security Cookies
These cookies are essential for navigating Fanatics Casino and accessing secure areas like account deposits, live dealer lobbies, and withdrawal processing. Without these cookies, services like encrypted logins and multi-factor authentication cannot function.
B. Geolocation Tracking Technologies
Under state gaming laws enforced by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE), Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB), Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB), and West Virginia Lottery Commission, Fanatics Casino must verify that every player wagering real money is physically located within an authorized state border.
Our geolocation cookies and mobile plugin software combine Wi-Fi triangulation, cell tower mapping, and IP address checks to validate location. Disabling geolocation cookies will prevent real money wagers on slots, blackjack, and live table games at Fanatics Casino.
C. Performance & Analytics Cookies
We utilize analytical tools, including Google Analytics, to record anonymous statistical data regarding visitor habits on Fanatics Casino. These cookies measure metrics such as average load times for video slots like Hypernova Megaways™, error response frequencies, and traffic flow between sportsbook and casino lobbies.
D. FanCash & Marketing Tracking
To ensure you receive every dollar of reward value owed to you, Fanatics Casino uses specialized marketing cookies. These track eligible play on real money games, credit instant FanCash to your account balance, and serve customized notifications regarding upcoming slot releases or seasonal promotions.
4. Third-Party Cookie Partners & iGaming Service Providers
In order to provide a world-class real money casino environment, Fanatics Casino collaborates with vetted third-party tech providers. These organizations may place cookies or local storage objects on your device when you interact with our platform:
- iGaming Software Studios: Game providers like IGT, Light & Wonder, NetEnt, Evolution Gaming, and Pragmatic Play deploy functional cookies to maintain high-definition live stream connectivity, store reel state histories, and execute random number generator (RNG) verification checks.
- Payment Gateways & Identity Verification: Payment processing partners (PayPal, VIP Preferred, Venmo) use security cookies to prevent fraud, verify anti-money laundering (AML) compliance, and handle instant cashouts safely on Fanatics Casino.
- Cybersecurity & Anti-Bot Shielding: Captcha services and anti-DDoS security partners utilize browser environment signatures to block automated bots, credential stuffing, and malicious intrusion attempts.
