Privacy Policy for Australian Website Visitors
Last updated: 10 October 2026
Best Betting Sites Australia ("we", "us", "our") operates the website hillcountryrevue.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose and protect your personal information when you access and use the Site.
Important legal notice for Australian visitors: Under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (Cth), it is unlawful to provide or advertise online casino games (including online pokies/slots, roulette, blackjack and online poker) to persons in Australia. Licensed Australian operators are limited to sports and race wagering. Best Betting Sites Australia does not offer, promote or facilitate prohibited interactive gambling services, and we do not publish advertisements for, or links to, prohibited or unlicensed interactive gambling services. We do not promote credit cards or cryptocurrency as deposit methods for online gambling — these have been banned in Australia since 11 June 2024. The only legal deposit routes for licensed Australian wagering operators are debit cards, bank transfer, PayID/Osko and BPAY. If you or someone you know is affected by gambling, support is available, and individuals can register with BetStop, the National Self-Exclusion Register.

We collect personal information only where it is lawful to do so, consistent with the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and, where applicable, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

- respond to your enquiries and provide customer support;
- analyse how the Site is used so we can improve its content and performance;

- detect, prevent and address misuse, fraud or security issues.
Where required by law, we will not send you marketing materials unless you have consented, and we will never send marketing to any person known to be registered with BetStop.
3. Legal Bases for Processing
Where the GDPR applies, we rely on the following legal bases:
- Consent — for optional communications and non-essential cookies;
- Legitimate interests — for the operation, security and improvement of the Site;

4. Disclosure of Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share it only with:

- professional advisers, where reasonably necessary.
5. Cookies and Consent
The Site uses cookies and similar technologies to function properly and to understand usage patterns. Essential cookies are necessary for the Site to operate and do not require consent. Non-essential cookies (such as analytics or preference cookies) are set only after you give consent through our cookie banner. You may withdraw or change your consent at any time via your browser settings or our cookie preferences tool. Disabling essential cookies may affect the Site’s functionality.
6. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, including any legal, accounting or reporting requirements. When information is no longer needed, we delete or de-identify it in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles.

Under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), you have the right to:

Where personal information is transferred outside Australia, we take reasonable steps to ensure it is protected in accordance with this policy and applicable law, including through contractual safeguards with recipients.
9. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
