bets88 Privacy
Policy

1. Data Controller Identity

For the purposes of the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, the data controller responsible for your personal data is bets88, operating the online gaming and sports betting platform accessible at bets88.cam (the "Platform").

bets88 operates under the regulatory oversight of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR). All data collection, processing, storage, and sharing activities described in this Privacy Policy are conducted in accordance with applicable Philippine law and PAGCOR's data governance requirements.

Questions or concerns regarding this Privacy Policy or bets88's data handling practices may be directed to our Data Privacy Officer at: [email protected]. Our support team is available 24/7 in English and Tagalog.

2. Personal Data We Collect

bets88 collects personal data from you through multiple channels — directly from you during registration and account use, automatically through your interaction with the Platform, and from third parties where legally permissible. The following describes the categories of personal data we may collect:

2.1 Identity and Account Data

• Full legal name (as it appears on government-issued identification);
• Date of birth (for age verification — players must be 21 or older);
• Gender (optional, for personalization purposes);
• Government-issued identification type and number (e.g., Philippine passport, driver's license, national ID);
• Username and account credentials (passwords are stored in hashed form and are never readable by bets88 staff).

2.2 Contact Data

• Residential address (barangay, city/municipality, province, ZIP code);
• Email address;
• Mobile phone number;
• Preferred language (English or Tagalog).

2.3 Financial and Transaction Data

• Payment method details (e.g., GCash mobile number, Maya account details, bank account name and number — collected solely for processing deposits and withdrawals);
• Transaction history, including deposit amounts, withdrawal requests, wager amounts, and game outcomes;
• Bonus and promotion usage records.

bets88 does not store full card numbers. Any card-based payment data is tokenized and handled by PCI-DSS-compliant payment processors. bets88 only receives a payment token and transaction confirmation — never your raw card details.

2.4 Technical and Usage Data

• IP address and approximate geolocation (city/province level, derived from IP);
• Device type, operating system, browser type and version;
• Session logs (login timestamps, session duration, pages visited);
• Game interaction data (games played, stakes, results);
• Cookies and similar tracking technologies (see Section 7).

2.5 KYC Verification Documents

As required by PAGCOR and Philippine anti-money laundering legislation, bets88 collects copies of identity verification documents you provide during the Know Your Customer (KYC) process. These may include:

• Photographs of government-issued identification documents;
• Proof of address documents (utility bills, bank statements);
• Proof of payment method ownership;
• Selfie photographs submitted during identity verification.

2.6 Communications Data

• Records of your communications with bets88 customer support (chat logs, email correspondence);
• Feedback, complaints, and dispute records;
• Marketing preference records (opt-in / opt-out status for promotional communications).

3. Purposes and Legal Bases for Processing

bets88 processes your personal data only where a lawful basis exists under the Data Privacy Act of 2012. The following table summarizes our processing purposes and their corresponding legal bases:

4. Data Sharing and Third-Party Disclosure

bets88 does not sell your personal data. We may share your personal data with third parties only in the following circumstances and only to the extent necessary for the stated purpose:

4.1 Regulated Service Providers

bets88 engages third-party service providers who process personal data on our behalf under written data processing agreements. These include:

• Payment processors: GCash (Mynt), Maya (PayMaya Philippines), and bank partners (BDO, BPI, Metrobank) — for processing financial transactions;
• Identity verification providers: KYC and AML compliance technology providers operating under PAGCOR-compliant frameworks;
• Game providers: JILI Technology, Pragmatic Play, and other certified game studios — limited to game outcome and session data necessary for game functionality and RTP auditing;

4.2 Regulatory and Legal Authorities

bets88 is legally required to disclose certain data to:

• The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), as part of its ongoing regulatory oversight and audit obligations;
• The Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), as required under Republic Act No. 9160 and its amendments;
• Philippine law enforcement agencies and courts, pursuant to a valid court order, subpoena, or lawful legal process;
• The National Privacy Commission (NPC), in the event of a notifiable data breach or upon lawful investigation.

4.3 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets involving bets88, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of the transaction. You will be notified of such a transfer and the privacy practices of the acquiring entity prior to any such transfer taking effect, as required by Philippine law.

4.4 No Unauthorized International Transfers

bets88 does not transfer your personal data to countries outside the Philippines unless adequate protections are in place — including contractual clauses that meet the standards of the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and NPC guidelines. Where data is processed by international game providers or technology partners, such transfers are governed by data processing agreements that impose equivalent privacy obligations.

5. Data Retention

bets88 retains your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. The following retention periods apply:

• Account data and KYC records: Retained for the duration of your account plus five (5) years following account closure, as required by PAGCOR and Philippine AML regulations;
• Transaction records: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of transaction, in accordance with PAGCOR's record-keeping requirements;
• Customer support communications: Retained for three (3) years from the date of last interaction, for dispute resolution and quality assurance purposes;
• Marketing preference records: Retained for as long as you maintain an account, plus one (1) year following account closure;
• Technical and usage logs: Retained for ninety (90) days in detailed form; aggregated and anonymized data may be retained indefinitely for statistical analysis.

Upon expiry of applicable retention periods, personal data is securely deleted or anonymized such that it can no longer be linked to an identifiable individual.

6. Data Security Measures

bets88 implements a comprehensive set of technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or destruction. These measures include:

6.1 Technical Safeguards

• Encryption at rest: All personal data stored in bets88 databases is encrypted using AES-256 encryption;
• Encryption in transit: All data transmitted between your browser and bets88 servers is protected by TLS 1.3 (Transport Layer Security);
• Password security: Account passwords are hashed using bcrypt with a high work factor and are never stored in plaintext or recoverable form;
• Two-factor authentication (2FA): Optional two-factor authentication is available for all bets88 accounts and is strongly recommended;
• Access controls: Access to personal data by bets88 staff is governed by role-based access controls and the principle of least privilege — staff only access data necessary for their specific job function;
• Intrusion detection: bets88 operates continuous intrusion detection and security monitoring systems across all production infrastructure.

6.2 Organizational Safeguards

• A designated Data Privacy Officer (DPO) oversees all data protection activities and maintains bets88's registration with the National Privacy Commission;
• All bets88 staff with access to personal data undergo mandatory data privacy training annually;
• Third-party vendors are vetted for privacy and security compliance before being granted access to any bets88 data;
• Regular internal and external security audits are conducted to identify and remediate vulnerabilities;
• A documented data breach response plan is in place and tested regularly.

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

bets88 uses cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage, session tokens, and analytics pixels) to operate the Platform and enhance your experience. The following types of cookies are used:

• Essential Cookies: Required for the Platform to function. These include session authentication cookies and security tokens. They cannot be disabled without breaking core platform functionality;
• Performance and Analytics Cookies: Used to understand how players use the Platform — which games are most visited, where errors occur, how sessions progress. This data is aggregated and anonymized. Used by bets88's internal analytics systems;
• Functional Cookies: Used to remember your preferences, such as language setting (English/Tagalog), display options, and notification preferences;
• Marketing Cookies: Used to deliver relevant promotional content on the Platform. These cookies are only activated with your consent.

You may manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling non-essential cookies will not prevent you from using bets88, though some personalization features may be reduced. For full details on bets88's cookie practices, refer to the cookie notice displayed on your first visit to the Platform.

8. Your Data Subject Rights

Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, bets88 users have the following rights with respect to their personal data. These rights are real and enforceable — not aspirational statements.

To exercise any of these rights, contact bets88's Data Privacy Officer at [email protected]. We will respond to verified requests within fifteen (15) business days. If you believe your rights have not been adequately addressed, you may lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines.

9. Children and Minors

bets88 strictly prohibits the use of its Services by individuals under the age of 21. bets88 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 21 years of age. If we discover that an account was registered by a minor, we will immediately close the account, void all associated wagers, and securely delete all personal data collected from that individual, subject to any mandatory legal retention obligations.

Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental control software to prevent underage access to online gaming platforms. If you believe a minor has accessed bets88, please contact our support team immediately.

10. Marketing Communications

bets88 may send you promotional communications about bonuses, new games, events, and special offers — but only if you have opted in to receive such communications during registration or subsequently via your account settings.

You may withdraw your consent to marketing communications at any time by:

• Updating your notification preferences in your bets88 account settings;
• Clicking the "unsubscribe" link in any promotional email from bets88;
• Contacting customer support to update your marketing preferences.

Withdrawal of marketing consent will not affect the legal validity of any prior processing that occurred while consent was active. You will continue to receive essential transactional communications (e.g., deposit confirmations, withdrawal notifications, security alerts) regardless of your marketing preferences, as these are necessary for the operation of your account.

11. Updates to This Privacy Policy

bets88 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, applicable law, or regulatory requirements. When material changes are made, we will:

• Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page;
• Display a prominent notice on the bets88 Platform for a minimum of fourteen (14) days;
• Send an email notification to all registered users with an active account (where material changes affect your rights).

Your continued use of bets88 following notification of changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the updated terms, you must cease using bets88 and may request account closure by contacting customer support.
