This Privacy Policy explains what information Sport Betting Picks collects when you visit our site, how we use it, and the choices available to you. If you have questions, the best starting point is our About Us page, which describes who we are and how we cover sports betting picks.
What Information Do We Collect?
We collect standard server log data — including IP address, browser type, referring URL, and pages visited — automatically whenever you load a page. We may also collect information you voluntarily submit, such as an email address if you contact us directly.
We use third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand aggregate traffic patterns. These tools may set cookies on your device. They collect browsing behavior data in anonymized or pseudonymized form; they do not receive your name or payment details through our site.
How Do We Use Your Data?
We use collected data solely to operate and improve this site — for example, to understand which pages (such as our free expert sport betting picks hub) attract the most readers, so we can publish better analysis. We do not sell personal data to third parties.
Aggregate, non-identifying data may be shared with advertising or affiliate partners for the purpose of serving relevant sports betting content. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 21.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser. We use first-party cookies for basic site functionality and third-party cookies for analytics and advertising. You can disable cookies through your browser settings; doing so may affect some site features but will not prevent you from reading our content, including guides like our sports betting glossary or the state-by-state legal sports betting guide.
Affiliate and External Links
This site links to licensed US sportsbook operators and picks services. Some of those links are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a referral fee if you sign up through them — at no added cost to you. We only link to regulated, state-licensed operators; for an overview of which states permit legal wagering, see the sports betting minimum age guide by state. You can also consult the RG.org regulatory tracker for current state-by-state licensing authority.
Pages covering paid services — including our review of whether paid sports betting picks are worth the cost — may include affiliate arrangements with those services. Editorial opinions are our own.
Third-Party Services
Our content references platforms such as Covers.com, OddsChecker, and WagerTalk. Visiting those sites subjects you to their own privacy policies, which we do not control. Our coverage of the best free picks sites for US bettors and top handicapper services is editorial in nature; those sites' data practices are separate from ours.
Data Retention and Security
Server log data is retained for up to 12 months for security and performance analysis, then deleted or anonymized. We apply standard technical safeguards — encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls, and regular security reviews — but no internet transmission is fully immune to risk.
Your Rights
Depending on your state of residence, you may have rights to access, correct, or request deletion of personal data we hold about you. To exercise any of these rights, contact us via the information on our About page. We will respond within 30 days.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as our site grows — for instance, if we add new features such as a newsletter or user accounts. Material changes will be noted on this page with a revised effective date written out in Month D, YYYY format. Continued use of the site after that date constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
Must be 21+ (18+ in some states) to place sports wagers. If gambling is causing problems, call 1-800-GAMBLER.
