Terms & Conditions
Acceptance of Terms
Effective date: March 31, 2026.
By accessing or using starburst-slot.ie, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you should not use the site.
We are a small group of four former classmates who built this site to log and analyze data from slot sessions. Our focus is on documenting real-world outcomes compared to theoretical stats, all done manually through our shared efforts.
These terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access the site. We reserve the right to terminate access for anyone who violates them.
Your use of the site confirms that you have read, understood, and accepted these terms in full.
About This Website
This website, starburst-slot.ie, is an independent informational project dedicated to reviewing and analyzing the Starburst slot game.
We do not operate as a casino, nor do we accept bets or provide any gambling services. Instead, our site serves as a platform where we share insights based on our personal data collection from playing sessions.
Our group consists of four former classmates who met during a postgraduate statistics course. We started this project to document the differences between theoretical return to player (RTP) percentages and what we observe in actual sessions.
We coordinate our work through a private Git repository, where we upload raw spin data and probability maps on a weekly basis. This allows us to collaborate effectively, even though we are based in different locations.
The content on this site includes reviews, statistical analyses, and observations from our logged sessions. We aim to provide transparent information for those interested in slot mechanics, without promoting gambling.
Our approach is grounded in manual data logging, where each of us records outcomes from sessions we play independently. We then compile this data to spot patterns or discrepancies that might not be apparent from official stats alone.
This site is not affiliated with any casino operators or game developers. All opinions and data presented are our own, based on our experiences and analyses.
We update the site periodically with new findings from our ongoing data collection. Visitors can explore our reviews and stats to gain a better understanding of slot behavior.
While we share our methods, we encourage users to verify information independently, as our data represents a limited sample.
Our goal is to contribute to a broader discussion on slot probability and player experiences, all from the perspective of stats enthusiasts.
Use of This Website
You may use this website for personal, non-commercial purposes only. This includes reading our reviews, viewing our data analyses, and learning about slot mechanics.
Do not reproduce, distribute, or modify any content from this site without our written permission. We put effort into collecting and presenting this data, and we ask that you respect that.
Users are prohibited from using the site in any way that could damage, disable, or impair its functionality. This includes attempting to gain unauthorized access to our repository or data.
We provide information on slot sessions, but you should not rely on it for any financial decisions. Our data is observational and not guaranteed to predict future outcomes.
If you choose to share our content, please credit the site appropriately. Linking back to our pages is appreciated when discussing our findings.
The site may contain interactive elements, such as comment sections if we enable them, but users must refrain from posting spam, offensive material, or irrelevant content.
We monitor usage to ensure compliance with these rules. Violations may result in blocking your access without notice.
Our content is intended for informational use. Applying it to real gambling is at your own risk, as we do not endorse or facilitate betting.
By using the site, you agree not to hold us responsible for any actions you take based on the information provided.
We strive to keep the site accessible, but we may suspend or restrict access for maintenance or other reasons.

Age Restriction
This website is intended for users who are at least 18 years old, or the legal age for accessing gambling-related information in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher.
We do not collect age information, but we expect users to self-regulate and not access the site if they are underage.
Content on this site discusses slot games, which are associated with gambling, so it is not suitable for minors.
Parents or guardians should monitor internet usage to prevent underage access to such materials.
If we become aware of underage usage, we will take steps to block access, though we rely on users to be honest about their age.
Our data and reviews are for adult audiences interested in statistical analysis of games, not for entertainment or promotion to younger people.
Accessing the site underage violates these terms, and we disclaim any responsibility for such actions.
We include this restriction to align with general standards for gambling-related content, even though we do not offer gambling services.
Users must confirm they meet the age requirement before proceeding to view our content.
This policy helps maintain the site's focus on mature, informed discussions about slot data.
Affiliate Disclosure
We may include affiliate links on this site, which means we could earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase or sign up at a linked casino.
These links do not cost you anything extra, and they help support our small project by covering costs like hosting and data tools.
Not all links are affiliate links, but we disclose this possibility to be transparent with our visitors.
Our reviews and data are not influenced by affiliate relationships. We base our content on our own logged sessions and analyses.
If we recommend a casino or bonus, it is because we believe it offers value based on our experiences, but always do your own research.
We are committed to honesty, so we will clearly mark any affiliate content if required by regulations.
Earning through affiliates allows us to continue updating our Git repository with new data without charging users.
Clicking an affiliate link is optional, and you can enjoy our site without engaging with them.
This disclosure is part of our effort to build trust with our audience, as fellow stats enthusiasts.
We review affiliate programs carefully to ensure they align with our values of transparency and fairness.
Accuracy of Information
The information on this site, including data logs and analyses, is provided as-is, based on our manual collection efforts.
We make every attempt to ensure accuracy, but errors can occur in data entry or interpretation.
Our probability maps and session outcomes represent our experiences, which may not match yours due to randomness in slots.
Theoretical RTP is sourced from official game info, but our actual results show variances that we document for discussion.
Users should not treat our data as definitive or use it for predicting wins. Slots are inherently unpredictable.
We update our content when new data comes in, but there may be delays in reflecting the latest logs.
If you spot an inaccuracy, contact us at [email protected], and we will review it.
Our site is not a scientific journal; it's a collaborative project among friends sharing observations.
Always cross-check with multiple sources before drawing conclusions from our information.
We disclaim any warranties regarding the completeness or timeliness of the content.
Data is uploaded weekly to our repository, but site updates might lag slightly as we analyze it.
This approach keeps our information as accurate as possible given our small-scale operation.
