1. Who We Are
88bet is an online betting and gaming platform operating at https://88bet-taka.com, designed specifically for players in Pakistan. When this Privacy Policy refers to "88bet", "we", "us", or "our", it means the entity responsible for operating the 88bet platform and processing the personal data of registered users.
This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data collected through the 88bet website, account registration process, customer support interactions, and any other service provided under the 88bet brand. It forms part of the broader agreement between you and 88bet, alongside our Terms and Conditions and Responsible Gaming policy.
As the data controller, 88bet is responsible for deciding how and why your personal data is processed. If you have any questions about this policy or about how your data is handled, please contact us through the details provided in Section 14.
2. Data We Collect
88bet collects personal data in a number of ways, depending on how you interact with the platform. The categories of data we may hold about you are as follows:
2.1 Registration Data
When you create an 88bet account, we collect your full name, date of birth, email address, phone number, and a username and password of your choice. This data is required to create and maintain your account and cannot be omitted.
2.2 Identity Verification Data
To comply with applicable regulations and to verify your identity and age, 88bet may request a copy of your CNIC (Computerised National Identity Card), passport, or other government-issued identification. We may also request proof of address and, in some circumstances, proof of the source of funds you use to deposit.
2.3 Financial Data
When you make deposits or withdrawals on 88bet, transaction details are recorded including payment method type, transaction amounts in PKR, timestamps, and transaction reference numbers. We do not store full payment card numbers or full mobile wallet credentials – these are handled directly by our certified payment processors.
2.4 Activity Data
88bet records your betting and gaming activity on the platform. This includes bets placed, games played, amounts wagered and won, session timestamps, and promotional offers used. This data is used for account management, regulatory compliance, and responsible gaming monitoring.
2.5 Technical Data
When you access 88bet, technical data is automatically collected including your IP address, device type, operating system, browser type and version, and general geographic location. This data is used for security monitoring, fraud detection, and platform optimisation.
2.6 Communication Data
Any communications you have with 88bet customer support – including live chat transcripts and emails – are stored for quality assurance, training purposes, and to maintain a record of resolved disputes.
88bet does not collect sensitive personal data such as biometric data, racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, or health information except in specific circumstances required by law, and only with your explicit consent.

| Purpose | Data Used | Basis |

88bet will not use your personal data for any purpose not listed above without first obtaining your consent or establishing a fresh lawful basis for doing so.
4. Legal Basis for Processing
88bet processes your personal data only where a valid legal basis exists. The four main bases we rely on are:
- Contract performance: Processing necessary to deliver the services you have signed up for, including operating your account and processing payments.
- Legal obligation: Processing required to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including age verification, anti-money laundering checks, and regulatory reporting.
- Legitimate interests: Processing where 88bet has a legitimate business or safety interest that is not overridden by your rights, including fraud detection, platform security, and responsible gaming monitoring.
- Consent: Processing based on your explicit opt-in, primarily for marketing communications. You can withdraw consent at any time without it affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
5. Sharing Your Data
88bet does not sell your personal data to any third party. However, to deliver our services effectively and meet our legal obligations, we may share your data with the following categories of trusted parties:
5.1 Payment Processors
To process your deposits and withdrawals, 88bet shares the minimum necessary financial data with our payment partners (including mobile wallet operators and banking partners for Easypaisa, JazzCash, NayaPay, SadaPay, IBFT transfers, and card processors). These partners process data under their own privacy policies and are required to maintain appropriate security standards.
5.2 Game Providers
Some game providers who supply live casino and other gaming content to 88bet may receive limited technical and session data necessary to deliver their games. Game providers are contractually obligated not to use this data for their own purposes.
5.3 Identity Verification Services
Where identity or age verification is required, 88bet may use third-party verification services to cross-check documents you provide. These services operate under strict data protection agreements.
5.4 Regulatory and Legal Authorities
88bet may be required by law or court order to disclose certain personal data to regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or other governmental bodies. We will only do so to the extent required by applicable law.
All third parties with whom 88bet shares data are required to handle that data in accordance with applicable data protection standards and are prohibited from using it for any purpose beyond what is specified in their contract with us.
6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
88bet uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website. Cookies are small text files placed on your device that help us deliver a better, more personalised experience and allow us to understand how the platform is being used.
6.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the 88bet website to function correctly. They enable core features such as keeping you logged in during a session, maintaining your bet slip, and ensuring secure transactions. These cookies cannot be disabled without breaking core platform functionality.
6.2 Analytics Cookies
88bet uses analytics tools to understand how players navigate the platform, which pages are most visited, and where technical issues arise. The data collected is aggregated and anonymised. You can opt out of analytics cookies through your browser settings.
6.3 Preference Cookies
These cookies remember settings you have chosen, such as your preferred language or odds format, so you don't have to reconfigure them on each visit.
6.4 Marketing Cookies
With your consent, 88bet may use cookies to deliver relevant promotional content based on your activity on the platform. You can withdraw consent for marketing cookies at any time through your browser or device settings.
7. Data Security
88bet takes the security of your personal data seriously. We implement and maintain a range of technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include:
- SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and the 88bet platform.
- Encrypted storage of passwords using industry-standard hashing algorithms – your actual password is never stored in plain text.
- Access controls ensuring that only authorised 88bet personnel can access personal data, and only to the extent required for their role.
- Regular security assessments and penetration testing of the 88bet platform.
- Incident response procedures for detecting and responding to potential data breaches.
While 88bet takes all reasonable steps to protect your data, no system is completely immune to attack. If you believe your 88bet account has been compromised, contact our support team immediately.
In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights or freedoms, 88bet will notify affected players without undue delay and take immediate remedial action.
8. Data Retention Periods
88bet retains personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. The following general retention principles apply:
- Active account data: Retained for the duration of your account's active status plus any legally mandated post-closure period.
- Financial transaction records: Retained for a minimum of five years following the transaction to meet anti-money laundering and financial record-keeping requirements.
- Identity verification documents: Retained for the minimum period required by applicable regulations, typically five years from account closure.
- Customer support communications: Retained for up to three years from the date of the communication, unless the matter is subject to ongoing legal proceedings.
- Marketing opt-in records: Retained for the duration of your opt-in and for three years following opt-out, to demonstrate compliance.
When personal data reaches the end of its retention period, it is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with an identifiable individual.
9. Your Privacy Rights
As a player on 88bet, you have a number of rights in relation to the personal data we hold about you. Here's what each of those rights means in practice:
Right of Access
You can request a copy of all personal data 88bet holds about you. We will provide this within 30 days of a verified request.
Right to Rectification
If any data 88bet holds about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to have it corrected. You can update many details directly from your account settings.
Right to Erasure
In certain circumstances, you can request that 88bet delete your personal data. Note that legal retention obligations may prevent full deletion in some cases.
Right to Restriction
You can ask 88bet to limit how your data is processed in specific circumstances, such as while a dispute about accuracy is being resolved.
Right to Portability
Where data is processed on the basis of your consent or a contract, you can request a structured, machine-readable copy of your data for portability to another service.
Right to Object
You have the right to object to 88bet processing your data based on legitimate interests, including for direct marketing. Objections to marketing are always honoured immediately.
To exercise any of the rights above, contact us at support@88bet-taka.com or through our live chat. We will verify your identity before processing any data request to protect your account security. We aim to respond within 30 days and will let you know if we need more time.
10. Marketing Communications
With your consent, 88bet may send you promotional communications about new games, bonuses, upcoming events such as PSL season offers, and other platform news. Marketing messages are sent via email, SMS, or in-platform notifications, depending on the preferences you set during registration or update in your account settings.
You can opt out of marketing communications at any time by:
- Clicking the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any marketing email from 88bet.
- Updating your notification preferences in your 88bet account settings.
- Contacting 88bet support and requesting to be removed from marketing lists.
Opting out of marketing does not affect service-related communications such as transaction receipts, security alerts, or responses to support queries. These will continue regardless of your marketing preferences.
11. Third-Party Services and Links
The 88bet platform may contain links to third-party services such as payment processors, game providers, and support tools. This Privacy Policy applies only to data processed by 88bet itself. When you interact with a third-party service – even one embedded within the 88bet platform – that third party's own privacy policy governs how your data is handled on their side.
88bet takes reasonable steps to ensure that third-party partners with whom we share data maintain appropriate privacy and security standards, but we cannot be held responsible for the independent privacy practices of third parties beyond our direct control.
12. Children's Privacy
88bet is strictly an adult platform. We do not knowingly collect or process personal data from individuals under the age of 18. If we become aware that personal data has been submitted by a minor, that data will be deleted immediately and the associated account closed.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a person under 18 has accessed 88bet using credentials belonging to another person, please contact our support team immediately. We take underage access extremely seriously and have systems in place to detect and prevent it. For further information, see our Responsible Gaming page.
13. Updates to This Privacy Policy
88bet reviews and updates this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our data practices, legal requirements, or platform functionality. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page shows when the most recent revision was made.
Where changes are material – meaning they significantly affect how your data is collected or used – 88bet will notify registered users via email or a prominent in-platform notice before the changes take effect. For minor clarifications that do not affect the substance of the policy, we may update the document without specific notification.
Continued use of the 88bet platform after a notified change constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any changes, you should contact support to discuss your options, including account closure.
