Your privacy matters to ph988. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect from players, why we collect it, how it is stored and protected, and the rights you have over your own data. We keep this straightforward because you deserve to know exactly what happens with your information.

Effective: January 2026  |  Applies to all ph988 registered accounts in the Philippines

1 Introduction

ph988 operates the online gaming platform accessible at ph988.vu. As part of running this platform, we collect and process personal information from players who register accounts, make deposits, place wagers, or interact with our customer support team. This Privacy Policy sets out how that information is handled.

By creating an account at ph988, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you have questions about how your data is processed at any point, you can reach our support team via live chat on the platform or by email at [email protected].

2 Information We Collect

ph988 collects personal information in a few different ways — directly from you when you register and use the platform, and automatically through your use of the website and mobile application.

Information you provide directly:

  • Full name, date of birth, and mobile number provided at registration
  • A valid Philippine government-issued ID and proof of address submitted during KYC verification
  • Payment details provided when making a deposit or requesting a withdrawal, including bank account information or details of the local e-wallet channel used
  • Communications you send to our support team, including live chat transcripts and emails

Information collected automatically:

  • Device information, including operating system, browser type, and device identifiers
  • IP address and general location data derived from your connection
  • Betting and gaming activity, including bet history, game sessions, and account transactions
  • Session data, including login timestamps, pages visited, and features accessed

Note on payment data: ph988 does not store full bank account numbers or complete e-wallet credentials on our servers. Payment processing uses secure, tokenised methods and is handled by our verified payment processing partners.

3 How We Use Your Information

The personal information ph988 collects is used for specific, legitimate purposes directly related to operating the platform and fulfilling our obligations to players.

  • Account management: Creating and maintaining your ph988 account, verifying your identity, and enabling secure access via OTP and two-factor authentication.
  • KYC and fraud prevention: Verifying that players meet the 21+ age requirement and residency requirements, and detecting or investigating any account activity that suggests fraud, money laundering, or a breach of our Terms and Conditions.
  • Payment processing: Facilitating deposits and withdrawals in Philippine Peso through verified local banking and e-wallet channels.
  • Platform operation: Delivering sports betting, live casino, eBingo, and slots services, including settling bets and crediting winnings to your account balance.
  • Customer support: Responding to queries, resolving account issues, and processing responsible gaming requests such as self-exclusion.
  • Communications: Sending account-related notifications — deposit confirmations, withdrawal updates, security alerts — to your registered mobile number or email address.
  • Platform improvement: Analysing aggregated usage data to improve the performance, security, and design of the ph988 platform.

ph988 does not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not use your data for behavioural advertising by third-party ad networks.

4 How We Protect Your Data

ph988 uses SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption across all connections to the platform — whether you are accessing the website through a browser or using the mobile app on Android or iOS. This means all data transmitted between your device and ph988 servers is encrypted in transit.

Access to personal data within ph988 is restricted to authorised staff with a direct operational need to access it — for example, support agents handling a specific account query, or the compliance team conducting a KYC review. All access is logged and reviewed on a regular basis.

We recommend using a secure, private network connection — your mobile data or a trusted home Wi-Fi — when accessing ph988. Avoid logging into your account over public Wi-Fi networks, which may be less secure regardless of which platform you are using.

Phishing reminder: ph988 will never send unsolicited messages asking for your password, OTP codes, or complete payment credentials. Any such message is not from us — do not respond, and report it to our support team immediately.

5 Cookies and Tracking Technologies

ph988 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the platform website and mobile app. Cookies are small files placed on your device that help the platform function correctly and allow us to understand how the platform is used.

We use cookies for the following purposes:

  • Session management: Keeping you logged into your account as you move between pages or sections of the platform.
  • Security: Detecting unusual login activity and helping prevent unauthorised account access.
  • Performance analytics: Understanding which parts of the platform are used most frequently and where technical issues occur, so we can improve the experience.
  • Preference storage: Remembering settings you have configured, such as preferred display options.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling certain types of cookies may affect the functionality of the ph988 platform — in particular, disabling session cookies will prevent you from remaining logged in to your account.

6 Third Parties and Data Sharing

ph988 shares personal data with third parties only where it is necessary to operate the platform or comply with legal obligations. We do not share data with third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes.

Third Party Category Purpose Data Shared
Payment processors Processing deposits and withdrawals in PHP Name, payment channel details
Identity verification providers KYC and age verification Government ID, date of birth
Platform infrastructure providers Hosting and platform delivery Session and usage data
Fraud and risk management Detecting fraudulent account activity Transaction data, device information
Regulatory authorities Legal compliance where required by applicable law As required by law

All third-party service providers working with ph988 are required to handle personal data securely and in accordance with applicable data protection standards. They are not permitted to use data shared by ph988 for any purpose beyond the specific service they provide.

7 Your Rights Over Your Data

As a ph988 player, you have the following rights regarding your personal information:

  • Access: You may request a copy of the personal data ph988 holds about you at any time.
  • Correction: If any information on your account is inaccurate or outdated, you can request that it be corrected. Some changes — particularly to your registered name or ID details — may require re-verification.
  • Deletion: You may request that your personal data be deleted. This right is subject to any legal obligation ph988 has to retain records — for example, transaction records required for financial compliance purposes.
  • Restriction: You may request that processing of your personal data be restricted in certain circumstances, for example while a correction request is being assessed.
  • Account closure: You may close your ph988 account at any time by contacting support. Following closure, your data is retained only as required by applicable law and then deleted in accordance with our standard retention schedule.

How to exercise your rights: Contact the ph988 support team via live chat on the platform or by email at [email protected]. Requests are typically acknowledged within two business days.

8 Data Retention

ph988 retains personal data for as long as your account is active and for a defined period afterwards, in accordance with our legal and regulatory obligations. Transaction records and identity verification documents are subject to minimum retention requirements under applicable financial and anti-money laundering regulations.

After your account is closed, data that is no longer required for operational or legal purposes is securely deleted from our systems. If you have questions about how long specific types of data are retained, contact our support team.

9 Updates to This Policy

ph988 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to how we operate the platform, changes in applicable law, or changes to the services we provide. When material changes are made, registered players will be notified via their registered email or through a notification within the platform.

The updated policy will be published on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of the ph988 platform after the effective date constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy. For significant changes, we may ask you to actively confirm your acceptance before proceeding.

OTP Two-Factor Authentication

Every ph988 account login is protected by OTP (One-Time Password) verification sent to your registered Philippine mobile number. Even if someone else has your password, they cannot access your account without your phone.

Secure KYC Verification

KYC documents submitted to ph988 — your Philippine government ID and proof of address — are handled through a secure verification process and stored with restricted access. This one-time process protects both your identity and the integrity of your account.

You Control Your Own Data
