8l88 Privacy Policy
Your privacy matters to 8l88. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect when you use the 8l88 platform, why we collect it, how we store and protect it, and what rights you hold over your own information. Please read this document in full before registering an account.
Privacy at a Glance
How 8l88 Protects Your Personal Data
End-to-End Encryption
All data transmitted between your device and 8l88 servers is protected by 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption. This applies to login, registration, deposits, withdrawals, and all account management actions.
Data Minimisation
8l88 collects only the personal data that is strictly necessary to provide the platform's services, verify player identity, comply with legal obligations, and prevent fraud. We do not collect data for its own sake.
You Control Your Data
Registered 8l88 players have the right to access, correct, and request deletion of their personal data at any time by contacting the support team, subject to legal retention obligations.
No Unauthorised Sale of Data
8l88 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party advertisers or data brokers. Data shared with third parties is limited to what is necessary for payment processing, fraud detection, and regulatory compliance.
Transparent Cookie Use
8l88 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies solely to improve platform performance, maintain session security, and understand how players navigate the site. Cookie preferences can be managed in your browser settings.
Marketing Opt-Out
Players who do not wish to receive promotional communications from 8l88 may opt out at any time via their account settings or by contacting our support team. Opting out of marketing does not affect essential account notifications.
Section 1
Data We Collect
8l88 collects personal data through several channels: directly from you when you register an account or contact support, automatically when you use the platform, and from trusted third-party service providers such as payment processors and identity verification agencies. The categories of data we collect are described below.
1.1 Registration & Identity Data
When you create an 8l88 account, we collect the following information:
- Full legal name as it appears on your government-issued identification document.

- Email address used as your primary account contact and login identifier.
- Mobile phone number, used for account security notifications and support communications.
- Username and encrypted password credentials.
1.2 Identity Verification Documents

- Visa or Mastercard details (card type, last four digits, expiry date — full card numbers are never stored by 8l88 and are handled exclusively by our PCI-DSS compliant payment processor).
- Transaction history, including deposit amounts, withdrawal requests, dates, reference numbers, and payment method used.
- Account balance history and bonus credit records.
1.4 Technical & Usage Data
When you access the 8l88 platform, our servers automatically record certain technical information:
| Data Type | Description | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| IP Address | Your device's internet protocol address at time of access | Fraud detection, geolocation compliance, security logging |
| Device Identifiers | Device type, operating system, browser version, screen resolution | Platform optimisation, duplicate account detection |

| Betting & Game Activity | Games played, bets placed, stakes, outcomes, game provider accessed | Account management, bonus eligibility, responsible gaming |
| Referral Source | URL or channel through which you arrived at 8l88.bet | Marketing attribution, affiliate management |
1.5 Communications Data
If you contact the 8l88 support team via live chat, email, or any other channel, we retain records of those communications, including the content of messages, timestamps, and the resolution outcome. This data is used to improve service quality, resolve disputes, and maintain an audit trail of player interactions.
Section 2
How We Use Your Data
8l88 processes personal data only for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and only where a lawful basis for processing exists. The primary lawful bases we rely on are: performance of a contract (providing you with the 8l88 service), compliance with legal obligations, legitimate interests pursued by 8l88, and — where required — your explicit consent.
2.1 Account Operations
We use your registration and identity data to create and maintain your 8l88 account, verify your identity and age, process deposits and withdrawals in BDT, communicate essential account information such as security alerts and transaction confirmations, and provide customer support. These processing activities are necessary for the performance of the contract between you and 8l88 and cannot be opted out of while your account remains active.
2.2 Legal & Regulatory Compliance
8l88 is required by applicable law to verify the identity of all players, maintain records of financial transactions, report suspicious activity, and implement responsible gaming safeguards. Processing your data for these purposes is a legal obligation and is not subject to opt-out. This includes sharing transaction data and identity documents with relevant authorities where required by law or court order.
2.3 Fraud Prevention & Security
Technical and usage data, including IP addresses, device identifiers, and session logs, are processed to detect and prevent fraud, identify unauthorised account access, flag duplicate accounts, and monitor for prohibited betting behaviours. This processing is carried out in the legitimate interests of 8l88 and all honest players who use the platform.
2.4 Responsible Gaming Monitoring
8l88 uses betting and session data to identify patterns that may indicate problem gambling behaviour, such as sudden increases in stake size, extended session durations without breaks, or rapid repeated deposits following losses. Where such patterns are detected, 8l88 may proactively reach out to affected players or apply account-level responsible gaming interventions. This processing is carried out in the legitimate interests of player welfare and is consistent with our obligations under our responsible gaming policy.
2.5 Marketing Communications
With your consent, 8l88 may send you promotional communications about bonuses, new games, upcoming cricket events (BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup, Bangladesh Tigers fixtures), and seasonal offers (including Eid, Pohela Boishakh, and other relevant periods). You may withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time by adjusting your account notification preferences or by contacting [email protected]. Withdrawal of marketing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out prior to withdrawal.
2.6 Platform Improvement
Aggregated and anonymised usage data is used to improve the 8l88 platform, optimise game and sports-betting content for Bangladeshi players, improve page load performance, and develop new features. This data cannot be used to identify individual players and is retained in aggregated form only.
Section 3
Data Sharing & Disclosure
8l88 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for commercial purposes. We share personal data only in the limited circumstances described below, and only to the extent necessary for the stated purpose.
3.1 Payment Service Providers
To process deposits and withdrawals, 8l88 shares relevant transaction and identity data with our authorised payment partners, including bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and card processing networks operating on behalf of Visa and Mastercard. These providers are contractually bound to process your data only for the purpose of completing the relevant transaction and are prohibited from using your data for any other purpose.
3.2 Identity Verification Providers
8l88 may use third-party identity verification services to cross-reference the documents you provide against authoritative databases. These providers operate under strict data processing agreements and are not permitted to retain your documents beyond the period necessary to complete the verification check.
3.3 Game Software Providers
To deliver casino and slot games, 8l88 integrates with licensed third-party game studios including Evolution Gaming, Ezugi, Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Microgaming, and Spribe. These providers may receive a session token and anonymised player identifier to initialise game sessions. They do not receive your full name, address, or payment details.
3.4 Legal & Regulatory Authorities
8l88 will disclose personal data to law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, or courts where required to do so by applicable law, valid legal process, or court order. Where permitted by law, 8l88 will notify affected players of such disclosure requests. However, where a legal obligation or confidentiality requirement prevents notification, 8l88 will comply with its legal duty without prior notice to the player.
3.5 Business Transfers
In the event that 8l88 undergoes a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of its business assets, player personal data may form part of the transferred assets. Players will be notified of any such transfer and of any material changes to the Privacy Policy that result from it. The acquiring entity will be required to honour the privacy commitments made in this Policy in respect of data collected prior to the transfer.
Section 4
Cookies & Tracking
8l88 uses cookies and similar technologies (including local storage, session storage, and pixel tags) to operate the platform, maintain session security, and understand how players interact with the site. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot access other files stored on your device.
4.1 Types of Cookies Used
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Maintain your login session, remember your language preference, enable secure account access and navigation | Session / up to 24 hours |
| Functional | Remember your display preferences, last visited game category, and notification settings between visits | Up to 90 days |
| Analytics | Collect anonymised data on pages visited, click paths, and session duration to improve platform performance | Up to 12 months |
| Fraud & Security | Detect automated bots, identify suspicious login patterns, and flag potential account compromise | Up to 12 months |
4.2 Managing Cookies
You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, or to be notified before a cookie is placed. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in to your 8l88 account and will impair core platform functionality. Disabling analytics or functional cookies will not prevent you from using the platform but may result in a less personalised experience.
4.3 Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal that can be sent to websites as an expression of the user's preference against cross-site tracking. 8l88 does not engage in cross-site tracking and honours DNT signals by limiting data collection to what is strictly necessary for platform operation when a DNT signal is detected.
Section 5
Data Retention
8l88 retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations, and to resolve any disputes or enforce our agreements. The following general retention periods apply:
| Data Category | Retention Period | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Account & Identity Data | Duration of account + 5 years after closure | Legal obligation, anti-money laundering compliance |
| Transaction Records | 7 years from date of transaction | Financial record-keeping, regulatory audit requirements |
| KYC Documents | 5 years after account closure | Anti-money laundering and fraud prevention obligations |
| Support Communications | 3 years from date of interaction | Dispute resolution, service quality improvement |
| Session & Technical Logs | 13 months from date of generation | Security monitoring, fraud detection |
| Marketing Consent Records | 3 years from date of consent or withdrawal | Regulatory accountability for consent management |
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised. Where data is anonymised rather than deleted, the resulting dataset contains no information that could reasonably be used to identify an individual player and is retained solely for statistical and analytical purposes.
5.1 Retention Following Account Closure
Closing your 8l88 account does not result in the immediate deletion of all personal data. Certain categories of data, particularly identity and financial transaction records, must be retained for the periods specified above to fulfil legal obligations. You will be notified of the applicable retention periods at the time you request account closure.
Section 6

8l88 implements a range of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or alteration. These measures are reviewed and updated regularly to reflect current best practice in information security.

- Regular penetration testing carried out by independent security specialists to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
- Two-factor authentication (2FA) available to all players for additional account-level protection.
6.2 Organisational Safeguards
- Access to personal data is restricted to 8l88 personnel and authorised third-party processors who have a legitimate need to access it in the course of their duties.
- All staff with access to personal data receive data protection training and are bound by confidentiality obligations.

- Internal data protection policies are reviewed at least annually and updated to reflect changes in applicable law and operational practice.
6.3 Data Breach Response
In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to the rights and freedoms of affected players, 8l88 will take immediate steps to contain the breach, assess its scope and impact, and notify affected players without undue delay. Notifications will include a description of the nature of the breach, the categories and approximate number of individuals and data records affected, the likely consequences of the breach, and the measures taken or proposed to address it.
Section 7

7.1 Limitations on Rights
The exercise of the rights described above may be subject to limitations where processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, to defend a legal claim, or where the rights of other individuals would be adversely affected.
