How does Best SIPS protect kids’ privacy?
Best SIPS is always very careful to operate within all guidelines of the Australian Alcohol Advertising Laws and will never knowingly target anyone under the legal drinking age. In addition we are concerned about the safety of children when they use the Internet and will never knowingly request personally identifiable information from anyone 18 years and younger.
What are cookies? How does Best SIPS use cookies on its site?
A cookie is a small data file that websites often store on your computer’s hard drive when you visit their sites. A cookie may contain information, such as a unique user ID that websites use to track the pages of the sites you’ve visited. We use cookies but do not store personally identifiable information in your cookie.
We use cookies in order to improve your search and advertising experience. Cookies enable us to keep track of your search preferences and advertising selections as you use our site. You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you turn off cookies, though, we will not be able to track your order to enable you to purchase advertising from our site. Nor will we be able to recognise you as a registered advertiser, which allows you to access your account information.
Is my information secure?
Protecting your advertising order information is important to us. Some versions of browsers and some firewalls don’t permit communication through secure servers like the ones we use to process orders at Best SIPS. To check the security of your connection, look at the lower left-hand corner of your browser window after accessing the server. If you see an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending on your browser), then SSL is active. You can also double-check by looking at the URL line of your browser. When accessing a secure server, the first characters of the site address will change from “http” to “https.” If your browser or firewall doesn’t support SSL, you will not be able to connect to the server, which means you won’t be able to mistakenly place an order through an unsecured connection.
What about links to other websites and services?
The Best SIPS website and content may contain links to other sites. Best SIPS does not control the privacy policies or practices of these websites. You should review those policies before providing any personal information. Best SIPS is not responsible for the content or practices of any linked websites, and we provide these links solely for the convenience and information of our visitors.
What happens with Best SIPS competitions, promotions and other activities?
Best SIPS may allow you to invite friends to join you on the site either as a simple invitation or as part of sending them a free gift. To make it easy to find friends, we let you submit their email addresses manually or share with your friends via social media networks such as Instagram, Facebook, X, Snapchat or TikTok. By submitting email addresses, you grant Best SIPS the right to send email invites to those provided recipients on your behalf. We would hope that those entering competitions at Best SIPS do so with intent to use the prize for themselves or a close friend/relative – not with the intent to sell on for financial profit.

Best SIPS Rewards
REWARDS PRIZES
If you have earned a Best SIPPERS Reward for the month, we will contact you by or before the 15th of the following month, to let you know which prize you will be receiving. Prizes are allocated in a ‘lucky dip’ format, so all of our top earners have a chance to receive the prizes on offer.
Prizes will be sent out according to the details in YOUR PROFILE. So it’s best to always keep that completely up to date. If your prize is sent to an old email or home address, we are not able to reissue.
A member is only eligible to win a prize from a prize partner a total of once, regardless of points earned. Our prize partners need to know their gifts are being shared around.
The Northern Territory is excluded from any Rewards prizes that contain alcohol.
PLAYING FAIR
We’ve set up the Best SIPPERS Reward programme with the best intentions for everyone. It’s about saying thanks to Sippers who are genuinely interested and involved. That means everyone playing fair.
‘Points racking’ is not accepted. If you are seen to be earning points via non-genuine activity, you will be ineligible to receive a Best SIPPERS Reward for a minimum of 12 months or longer at the discretion of the Best SIPS Team.
The Best SIPS Team review the activity log of all members who are eligible to receive a prize at the end of each month and can delete or modify points at any time if unfair activity is detected (or suspected).
This applies to any member seen to be copying and pasting text directly from the article, copying other members’ comments, posting the name of the article as a comment, rewording the title of the article or information from the article or posting the same comment on multiple articles or reviews.
This also applies to members who may be ‘points racking’ and then alter some of the details of their membership to receive prizes month after month, as all members are ineligible to receive the same reward twice in a calendar year.
What happens if someone tries to violate information from Best SIPS?
Any attempt to deliberately damage the Best SIPS website or the information in any Best SIPS communications (such as our social networking sites or other promotions related to Best SIPS), may be a violation of criminal and civil laws. The promoter reserves the right to seek damages to the fullest extent permitted by the law.
These conditions constitute the entire agreement of the parties relating to the entry and the conduct of the competition. Best SIPS reserves the right to amend these terms of participation at any time. All updates to these Terms will be posted on the Best SIPS website with the revised date.
