There is an excellent discussion here:
https://www.italki.com/question/484604
[excerpt from an excellent answer by Su.Ki., a respected italki member]
Remember this:
'Don't have' is always right.
'Haven't got' is sometimes, but not always right.
'Haven't' is usually wrong or very unnatural. You can forget about it.
