Cookies
Cookies, in plain terms
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit our site. It lets pages remember things — like whether you're signed in, or how you got here.
We are Chumba Casino, operated by Virtual Gaming Worlds (VGW) and licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority under licence MGA/B2C/188/2010. This page explains what we store, why, and how long each item stays. It works alongside our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal data more broadly.
Play with a clear head
Cookies support the site — they should never nudge you to play more than you want. Set limits, take breaks, and treat any funds as entertainment, not income.
If gambling stops being fun, help is free and confidential. Call the National Problem Gambling Helpline at 1-800-522-4700 or visit ncpgambling.org. You can also review the tools on our Responsible Gambling page. Chumba Casino is for players aged 21 and over.
Managing cookies in your browser
Your browser gives you a second layer of control. You can block cookies, delete existing ones, or ask to be warned before any are stored.
In Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge, look under Settings, then Privacy. Blocking strictly-necessary cookies may break sign-in or deposits, so expect some features to stop working. Depositing starts at $10, and a stable session helps that go smoothly. If you clear cookies, your saved preferences reset and the consent banner returns on your next visit.
Consent and how to withdraw it
Strictly-necessary cookies load automatically because the site can't function without them. For functional, analytics and marketing cookies, we ask for your consent first through our cookie banner.
Changed your mind? You can withdraw consent whenever you like. Reopen the preferences panel from the banner or the footer link, adjust the toggles, and save. Your new choices take effect immediately, and past consent stays valid until you change it. Need a hand? Reach us through Contact.
Why we set cookies
Some cookies keep the basics running: secure login, session integrity, and load balancing. Others help us understand which pages people use, or measure whether a campaign brought you here.
Want the short version? We use cookies to keep your account safe, remember your preferences, and improve how the site performs. You control everything beyond the strictly-necessary set.
The cookie categories we use
Each cookie we place falls into one of four groups. The table below sets out the purpose and typical lifespan of each.
| Category | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Session management, secure sign-in, fraud prevention and load balancing. These cannot be switched off. | Session to 12 months |
| Functional | Remembers preferences such as language, region and display settings so you don't reset them each visit. | Up to 12 months |
| Analytics | Aggregated, mostly anonymized data on how pages are used, so we can fix problems and improve navigation. | Up to 24 months |
| Marketing | Measures campaign performance and limits how often you see the same promotional message across partner sites. | Up to 13 months |
