bet8 Privacy Policy – How We Handle Your Data

01 Introduction

This Privacy Policy applies to all users of the bet8 platform accessible at bet8.bz. It covers the personal information we collect during account registration, while you use the platform — including betting, casino play, deposits and withdrawals — and when you contact us for support. It also covers data collected automatically when you visit the site.

bet8 takes privacy seriously. We collect data because it is necessary to run the platform properly, to keep accounts secure, to process payments in PKR, and to meet our obligations around fraud prevention and responsible gaming. We do not collect data beyond what is reasonably required for these purposes, and we do not monetise your personal information by selling it to advertisers or data brokers.

Reading this policy in full before using the platform is strongly encouraged. If you have specific questions that are not covered here, the contact details in the final section will get you through to the right team.

02 Data We Collect

The personal data bet8 collects falls into several categories depending on how you interact with the platform:

You are not required to provide all categories of data at the point of registration, but some features of the platform — particularly deposits, withdrawals and bonus claims — will not be available until relevant verification steps are completed.

03 How We Use Your Data

bet8 uses the personal data collected for specific, legitimate purposes. We do not use your data for purposes that are incompatible with why it was originally collected. The primary uses are:

• Account creation and management — setting up and maintaining your bet8 account, processing login requests and keeping your profile up to date.
• Identity verification — confirming that you are who you say you are, that you meet the minimum age requirement of 18, and that you are the legitimate owner of the payment methods linked to your account.
• Processing transactions — handling PKR deposits and withdrawals via JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast, bank transfer or card, and maintaining accurate records of all financial activity on your account.
• Platform security and fraud prevention — detecting and investigating suspicious activity, preventing account takeover, identifying multi-accounting, and protecting the integrity of the platform.
• Responsible gaming — monitoring for patterns that may indicate problematic use, applying deposit or session limits where requested, and administering self-exclusion when activated.
• Customer support — responding to queries, resolving account issues and processing complaints.
• Platform improvement — using aggregated, anonymised usage data to understand how the platform is used and improve the experience for all users.
• Communications — sending account-related notifications such as transaction confirmations, security alerts and policy updates. Promotional communications are only sent where you have opted in.

04 Payment Data

All financial transactions on bet8 are conducted in PKR. The platform supports JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast instant transfers, direct bank transfers and debit or credit cards. When you initiate a deposit or withdrawal, the transaction is processed through a secure integration with the relevant payment provider.

bet8 does not store full card numbers, mobile wallet PINs or online banking credentials on its own servers. Payment provider integrations are designed so that sensitive authentication data is handled entirely on the provider's side. What bet8 retains is limited to transaction reference numbers, amounts, timestamps, payment method type, and the last few digits of a card or registered mobile number — which is sufficient for support, reconciliation and fraud prevention purposes.

Transaction records are kept for as long as is necessary for financial audit purposes and fraud investigation, which typically extends beyond the period your account is active. If your account is closed, this data is retained in line with our data retention schedule described in Section 7.

05 Sharing Your Data

bet8 does not sell your personal data. We share it only in the following limited circumstances:

• Payment processors — JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast and banking partners receive the data necessary to complete your transactions.
• Identity verification providers — third-party KYC services receive your identity documents and verification data to confirm your identity on our behalf.
• Fraud and security providers — data may be shared with fraud detection platforms to identify suspicious patterns or prevent financial crime.
• IT and infrastructure providers — cloud hosting, database and security services that operate the technical infrastructure of the platform may process data as part of their service delivery.
• Legal and regulatory obligations — if required by a court order or lawful authority, bet8 may be obligated to disclose certain data. We will notify affected users where we are legally permitted to do so.

All third parties with whom bet8 shares data are contractually required to handle it securely and use it only for the purposes for which it was shared. bet8 does not permit third-party service providers to use your data for their own marketing or commercial purposes.

06 Cookies and Tracking

bet8 uses cookies and similar technologies to make the platform work correctly and to understand how it is used. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit the site. They are not harmful and do not contain sensitive personal data by themselves.

The types of cookies used on the bet8 platform include:

• Essential cookies — required for the platform to function. These handle login sessions, security tokens and basic site navigation. The platform cannot operate without them.
• Functional cookies — remember your preferences such as language settings or display options so you do not have to set them again on each visit.
• Analytics cookies — collect anonymised data about how users navigate the platform, which pages are most visited and where users encounter issues. This data helps improve the platform over time.

bet8 does not use third-party advertising cookies or share cookie data with ad networks. You can manage or clear cookies through your browser settings, though disabling essential cookies will affect how the platform functions — you may not be able to log in or maintain a session properly if essential cookies are blocked.

07 Data Retention

bet8 retains your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a defined period after closure. Different categories of data have different retention periods based on their purpose:

• Account and identity data — retained for the duration of your account and for a period of up to five years after closure, to support any disputes, fraud investigations or legal proceedings that may arise.
• Transaction records — financial records including deposit and withdrawal history are retained for a minimum of five years to meet standard financial record-keeping requirements.
• Support communications — chat logs and email records are retained for up to two years after the conversation closes, in case of follow-up or escalation.
• Technical and usage data — automatically collected usage logs and technical data are typically retained for up to twelve months and then anonymised or deleted.
• Verification documents — identity documents submitted during the KYC process are retained for the duration of the account plus a reasonable post-closure period in line with fraud prevention best practice.

When data is no longer needed for its original purpose and there is no legal reason to retain it, it is securely deleted or anonymised so it can no longer be linked back to you.

08 Security Measures

Protecting the data you share with us is a core responsibility that bet8 takes seriously. The technical and organisational measures in place include:

• SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and the bet8 platform.
• Encrypted storage for sensitive data fields including identity information and verification documents.
• Access controls that limit which staff and systems can view personal data, based on the principle of least privilege.
• Regular security reviews and monitoring for unusual access patterns or potential breaches.
• Secure, access-controlled data centres with physical and logical security controls for hosted infrastructure.

While bet8 implements these measures with care, no system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information in a material way, bet8 will notify affected users and take appropriate steps to contain and remediate the incident as quickly as possible.

On your side, keeping your login credentials private, using a strong unique password and logging out of shared devices are all steps that significantly reduce the risk to your account and data.

09 Your Rights

As a bet8 user, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

• Right to access — you can request a copy of the personal data bet8 holds about you. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and provide the information in a readable format.
• Right to correction — if any of your personal data is inaccurate or out of date, you can ask us to correct it. For some fields you can update these directly from your account settings.
• Right to deletion — you can request that bet8 delete your personal data. This right is subject to limitations — for example, we may be required to retain certain financial records regardless of a deletion request. We will explain what can and cannot be deleted when you make a request.
• Right to restrict processing — in certain circumstances you can ask bet8 to limit how your data is used while a dispute or query is being resolved.
• Right to data portability — you can request your data in a structured, commonly used format so that it can be transferred elsewhere if you wish.
• Right to object — where bet8 processes data for communications you did not originally opt in to, you can object to that processing and we will stop.

To exercise any of these rights, contact the bet8 support team using the details in Section 12. We will verify your identity before processing any data-related request to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to the wrong person.

10 Minors

The bet8 platform is strictly for users who are 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If it comes to our attention that an account has been registered by a minor, the account will be closed immediately and any data associated with it will be deleted, except where retention is required for fraud investigation purposes.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe a minor in your care has created a bet8 account, please contact support immediately so the account can be reviewed and closed. See our Responsible Gaming page for more information on how bet8 approaches age-related safeguards.

11 Changes to This Policy

bet8 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in how the platform operates, new regulatory requirements, or improvements to our data practices. When material changes are made, the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will be revised and, where appropriate, registered users will be notified by email or through an in-platform notice.

Continued use of the bet8 platform after an updated Privacy Policy has been posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. If you do not agree with any changes, you should stop using the platform and contact support to request account closure if required.
