How We Use Your Information

88bt processes personal data only for legitimate purposes directly connected to operating our platform and delivering safe, secure, and personalised services to players in Bangladesh. The specific purposes are:

• Account creation, authentication, and ongoing account management across all sessions
• Processing deposits and withdrawals via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Visa, and Mastercard in Bangladeshi Taka (BDT)
• Verifying player identity (KYC) to comply with anti-money-laundering (AML) obligations and prevent underage gambling
• Personalising game recommendations, promotional offers, and bonus communications based on your activity
• Detecting and preventing fraud, money laundering, account abuse, or suspicious betting patterns
• Sending important platform updates, security alerts, and (where you have opted in) promotional emails or SMS messages

How We Share Your Information

88bt does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes. We may share your data only in the following limited and controlled circumstances:

• Payment processors and financial partners (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Visa, Mastercard) solely to complete your requested transactions
• Identity verification and KYC service providers who assist us in fulfilling our compliance obligations
• Game software providers (including Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, and Spribe) who supply the games accessible on our platform, under strict data processing agreements
• Law enforcement or regulatory authorities when required by applicable law, court order, or to protect the safety and rights of our users

Any third party we work with is required to handle your data only as instructed by 88bt, keep it confidential, and implement appropriate security measures. We do not permit them to use your data for their own unrelated purposes.

Payment Data and Financial Information

All financial transactions on the 88bt platform are processed through encrypted, secure channels. When you deposit or withdraw funds using bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, or a card such as Visa or Mastercard, the actual payment credentials (PIN, card number, CVV) are handled directly by the respective payment provider and are never stored on 88bt servers.

We retain transaction records (amounts, timestamps, payment method type, and status) for the purposes of account management, dispute resolution, and compliance with applicable financial regulations. These records are stored securely and accessible only to authorised personnel on a need-to-know basis.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

88bt uses cookies and similar technologies to keep the platform running smoothly, remember your preferences, and understand how players navigate our site. The types of cookies we use include:

• Strictly necessary cookies: required for basic site functions such as login sessions, security tokens, and navigation. These cannot be disabled.
• Functional cookies: store your language preference, display settings, and session state so you do not need to reconfigure each visit
• Analytics cookies: help us measure page performance, identify popular games, and improve the overall user experience on the platform

You may control non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of certain features on the 88bt platform.

Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as your account remains active and for a reasonable period thereafter to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy. Specifically, account information and KYC documents are retained for the duration of the account relationship and for a minimum of five years following account closure, in line with standard anti-money-laundering recordkeeping requirements.

Transaction records are retained for a minimum of seven years for financial compliance purposes. When we no longer have a legitimate basis to retain your data, we will securely delete or anonymise it.

Your Rights Over Your Data

88bt respects your rights in relation to the personal information we hold about you. Subject to identity verification and applicable legal limitations, you have the right to:

• Access: request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Rectification: ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal information
• Erasure: request deletion of your data where we no longer have a legitimate reason to retain it
• Restriction: ask us to temporarily stop processing your data while a complaint or correction request is under review
• Objection: object to processing carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests, where your individual circumstances justify it

To exercise any of these rights, please contact our support team at [email protected] with the subject line "Data Privacy Request" and your registered account email address. We will respond within 30 days of receiving a valid request.

Security of Your Information

88bt implements industry-standard security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These include SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and our servers, encrypted storage for sensitive account information and KYC documents, role-based access controls ensuring only authorised staff can access personal data on a need-to-know basis, and regular security audits and vulnerability assessments of our systems.

While we take all reasonable precautions, no system is completely immune to risk. In the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your rights or freedoms, we will notify you and relevant authorities as required. We encourage all users to use strong, unique passwords and enable any two-factor authentication options available on their accounts.

Children's Privacy and Age Restriction

The 88bt platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 years and above. We do not knowingly collect, process, or retain personal data from any person under the age of 21. If we discover that personal data from an underage individual has been submitted to us, we will delete it immediately and close the associated account. If you believe a minor has created an account on 88bt, please notify us immediately at [email protected]. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental control tools to prevent minors from accessing online gambling platforms.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

88bt reserves the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make material changes to this policy, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of the page and, where appropriate, notify registered users by email or through a prominent notice on the platform.

Your continued use of the 88bt platform after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy. We recommend checking this page periodically, particularly if you have an active account, to stay informed about how we protect your data.
