Privacy Policy — bet38 Online Gaming

1What Data We Collect

bet38 collects personal data at different points in your interaction with the platform. The categories below describe what is collected and when.

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information beyond what is required for identity verification. If a government ID document contains sensitive categories of information as part of its standard format, that data is handled with the same level of protection as all other personal data collected during verification.

2How We Use Your Data

bet38 uses your personal data only for specific, legitimate purposes related to the operation of your account and the platform. The primary purposes are:

• Account management: Creating and maintaining your player account, enabling login and security features including OTP verification, and managing account settings.
• Identity verification (KYC): Confirming your identity and age as required before enabling real-money features on your account.
• Payment processing: Processing deposits and withdrawals in Philippine Peso through supported Philippine bank transfers and local e-wallets.
• Platform operation: Delivering sports betting, live casino, slots, eBingo, fish games, and other services to your account.
• Security and fraud prevention: Monitoring account activity for signs of unauthorised access, suspicious transactions, or prohibited conduct as described in the Terms and Conditions.
• Legal compliance: Meeting obligations under applicable anti-money-laundering regulations, the Data Privacy Act of 2012, and other relevant Philippine laws.
• Customer support: Responding to your queries, processing dispute reports, and providing account assistance.
• Responsible gaming: Monitoring account activity to identify patterns that may indicate problem gambling, and implementing player-requested limits or self-exclusion.

Where bet38 wishes to use your data for a purpose not described above — for example, to send you marketing communications — we will seek your separate consent and provide a clear way to withdraw that consent at any time.

3Data Sharing and Disclosure

bet38 does not sell your personal data. We may share your data with third parties only in the following circumstances:

• Payment providers: Philippine bank transfer networks and local e-wallet processors receive the financial data necessary to execute your deposit or withdrawal transaction.
• Identity verification services: Third-party KYC providers receive identity documents and associated data to complete the verification process required before your account is fully activated.
• Platform infrastructure providers: Technology partners who host, maintain, or support core platform systems may process technical data as part of their contracted services. These partners are bound by data processing agreements that restrict their use of your data.
• Legal and regulatory authorities: bet38 will disclose personal data to relevant Philippine authorities where required by law, court order, or regulatory obligation — including in connection with anti-money-laundering reporting requirements.
• Fraud and security partners: Data may be shared with fraud detection services where there is a legitimate security interest in doing so.

4Data Retention

bet38 retains your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a period after closure as required by applicable law and legitimate operational needs. Specific considerations include:

• Identity and financial records are retained for the minimum period required under applicable Philippine anti-money-laundering regulations, which may extend beyond the date your account is closed.
• Gaming session records and transaction logs are retained to enable dispute resolution and to support any regulatory inquiries that may arise.
• Support correspondence is retained for a reasonable period to maintain a record of communications relevant to your account.
• Technical data such as login logs and IP records is retained for the period necessary for security and fraud prevention purposes.

Once the applicable retention period has expired and there is no outstanding legal or regulatory obligation requiring continued storage, your personal data will be securely deleted or anonymised.

5Security Measures

Keeping your personal data secure is a core responsibility for bet38. The platform applies technical and organisational security measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the data held, including:

• SSL encryption on all data transmitted between your device and the bet38 platform.
• OTP-based verification for sensitive account actions including withdrawals and contact detail changes.
• Access controls that restrict internal access to personal data based on staff roles and legitimate operational need.
• Regular security reviews of platform systems and third-party service integrations.
• Incident response procedures to identify, contain, and report data breaches in accordance with applicable requirements under the Data Privacy Act of 2012.

While bet38 applies reasonable security measures, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. You are also responsible for keeping your account credentials, OTPs, and login details confidential. Do not share these with anyone, including anyone claiming to be a bet38 support representative.

6Cookies and Tracking

bet38 uses cookies and similar technologies to support the operation of the platform and to improve your experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit the site.

• Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function. These include session authentication cookies that keep you logged in and security tokens that protect your account actions. Disabling these cookies will prevent the platform from working correctly.
• Functional cookies: Remember your preferences — such as language or display settings — so you do not need to reconfigure them on each visit.
• Analytics cookies: Collect aggregate, anonymised data about how players navigate the platform. This information is used to identify usability issues and improve platform performance. No personally identifiable information is collected through analytics cookies.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies will affect your ability to use the platform. Analytics and functional cookies can be disabled without preventing core account functions from operating.

7Your Privacy Rights

Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and its implementing rules, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data held by bet38:

To exercise any of these rights, contact the bet38 support team via live chat or at [email protected]. We will acknowledge your request and respond within the timeframe required under applicable law. Some requests — particularly erasure requests — may be subject to verification of your identity and to applicable legal retention requirements that prevent immediate deletion.

8Minors and Age Restriction

bet38 is strictly for players who are 21 years of age or older. The platform does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 21. Age is verified as part of the KYC process before real-money features are activated on any account.

If bet38 becomes aware that personal data has been collected from an individual under the age of 21, that account will be closed immediately and the associated personal data will be deleted or handled in accordance with applicable procedures. If you believe a minor has registered on bet38, contact support immediately.

9Contact and Complaints

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, want to exercise your data rights, or wish to raise a concern about how your personal data has been handled, you can reach the bet38 support team through the following channels:

• Live chat: Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week through the bet38 platform.
• Email: [email protected] — include your registered account username and a clear description of your query or request.

If you are not satisfied with bet38's response to a privacy concern, you have the right to escalate your complaint to the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines. Information about how to file a complaint with the NPC is available through official Philippine government channels.
