Legal & trust
How the site works behind the curtain — what we store, what we earn, and where to get help if play stops being fun.
How we use cookies and similar technologies on mat3uspt.com.
What we store
Two essentials only. A session token to keep you signed in across pages, and a preference cookie that remembers your locale and theme. Both expire on sign-out or after 30 days of inactivity.
Analytics
We use first-party Plausible to count anonymous page views — no fingerprinting, no cross-site tracking, no advertising IDs. You can opt out with the Do Not Track header and we will respect it.
Third-party embeds
Twitch player and YouTube highlights set their own cookies once you press play. Until then, the embed is a static thumbnail and nothing leaves your browser.
Your control
Clear cookies in your browser settings at any time. Revoking the session token will sign you out; revoking the preference cookie will reset locale and theme.
What personal data we collect, why, and how long we keep it.
Account data
When you sign in with Twitch we receive your display name, login, email, and avatar URL. That is the entire profile — we do not import your followers, viewers, or chat history.
Activity data
Fichas balance, padrinho referrals, GTW guesses and leaderboard entries are stored against your account so we can compute totals. None of it is sold or shared.
Where it lives
A single Postgres instance hosted in Frankfurt by Supabase, with row-level security and daily encrypted backups retained for 14 days. Push tokens for browser notifications live in the same database, scoped per device.
Your rights
Email contact@mat3uspt.com for export, correction, or deletion. We respond within 14 days. Deletion is hard — accounts and all linked records are wiped, no soft-delete tombstone.
The rules for using mat3uspt.com and the streamer community around it.
Eligibility
You must be 18+ to use this site. Where the law in your country sets a higher minimum age for gambling-adjacent content, that age applies.
Account conduct
One account per person. No automation, no scraping the leaderboard, no creating alts to farm padrinho referrals. We will close offending accounts and revoke any rewards earned through them.
Content
Stream clips, VODs, and avatars belong to their creators. Fichas, leaderboards, and on-site copy are © mat3usPT — quote freely with attribution, no wholesale rehosting.
Liability
The site is provided as-is. We make no guarantee that figures shown match operator records — always verify with the casino or poker room before disputing.
Changes
We will post material changes here at least 14 days before they take effect, and notify signed-in users by in-app banner.
Some links on this site earn mat3usPT a commission. Here is the full picture.
How it works
When you click an operator link from /deals or a CTA from a stream and sign up, the operator pays mat3usPT a one-time bounty plus, in some cases, a share of net gaming revenue. You pay the same price either way.
Who we partner with
Only operators licensed by the Portuguese SRIJ or by an EEA regulator with equivalent player-protection rules. We turn down partnerships with unlicensed sportsbooks and crypto-only casinos, period.
Editorial independence
Operators do not review or approve copy. If a sponsored review is critical, the criticism stays — we mark sponsored placements with a 'Sponsored' pill and leave the rest of the site neutral.
What you should know
Affiliate revenue is not a recommendation. Higher-paying operators are not promoted higher in the deals list. Read the bonus terms before you opt in — wagering requirements vary widely.
Gambling is entertainment, not income. If it stops feeling like that, here is where to get help.
Set limits before you play
Most licensed operators expose deposit, loss, and session-time limits in account settings. Set them low enough that hitting them is annoying — not a real problem.
Self-exclusion
In Portugal, the SRIJ runs a national self-exclusion registry that blocks you from every licensed operator at once. Sign up at jogoresponsavel.pt — exclusion can be 3 months, 1 year, or permanent.
Free, confidential help
SOS-Voz Amiga 1414 is a 24/7 listening line for people in distress, including problem-gambling distress. Free from any Portuguese number.
For families
ICAD and the Linha SOS Droga 1414 also support people whose family member is gambling problematically. Calling does not require the player's consent.
