About This Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how PKO88 ("we," "us," "our," or "the Platform") collects, processes, stores, and protects the personal information of players and visitors. It applies to all interactions with the PKO88 website and platform services. By registering an account or using any part of the PKO88 platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy. If you have questions about anything in here, our support team is available 24/7.

1 Introduction

At PKO88, privacy is not a formality we handle at the end of a product meeting. It's something we think about every time we build a new feature, add a payment method, or onboard a new service provider. The personal data of our players belongs to them — we're just the custodians of it while they use our platform, and we take that responsibility seriously.

This Privacy Policy is written for our Filipino player base. We've tried to keep the language straightforward and free of unnecessary legal jargon, because we believe you should be able to understand exactly what's happening with your information without needing a lawyer to interpret it for you.

This policy applies to personal data collected through the PKO88 website at pko88.best, the PKO88 mobile web platform, any communications between you and PKO88 (including live chat and email), and any promotional or loyalty programme activity associated with your account.

PKO88 does not sell personal data to any third party, ever. This is not a loophole-laden statement — it is a firm platform principle.

2 Personal Data We Collect

PKO88 collects personal data in categories that are necessary to operate a licensed online gaming platform. We don't collect data for the sake of it. Everything we hold serves a specific, documented purpose.

Data Category Examples Why We Need It
Identity Data Full legal name, date of birth, nationality, government-issued ID number Age verification, KYC compliance, account ownership confirmation
Contact Data Email address, mobile number, residential address Account communication, support, transaction notifications
Financial Data GCash number, Maya account, bank account number, payment card details (last 4 digits only) Processing deposits and withdrawals, fraud detection
Technical Data IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, session data Platform security, fraud prevention, performance optimisation
Usage Data Betting history, games played, session duration, deposit/withdrawal history Account management, responsible gaming monitoring, personalisation
Communication Data Support chat transcripts, emails, feedback submissions Quality assurance, dispute resolution, service improvement
KYC Documents Scanned or photographed government IDs, selfies with ID, proof of address Regulatory identity verification requirements

PKO88 does not store full payment card numbers. Financial data is tokenised and processed through secure payment gateways.

3 How We Collect Your Data

PKO88 collects personal data through the following channels:

  • Account registration: When you create a PKO88 account, you provide identity and contact information directly.
  • KYC verification: When you submit identity documents to verify your account, we collect and store those documents securely.
  • Deposits and withdrawals: Financial data is collected when you initiate a transaction through a supported payment method.
  • Platform usage: Technical and usage data is collected automatically as you navigate the platform, through server logs and analytics tools.
  • Support interactions: When you contact our support team via live chat or email, communication data is collected and recorded.
  • Cookies and similar technologies: Cookies and session tracking tools collect technical data as described in Section 9 of this policy.
  • Third-party sources: In some cases, we may receive information from payment processors or identity verification providers to supplement what you've provided directly.

4 How and Why We Use Your Data

PKO88 uses personal data only for the purposes listed below. We do not use your data for purposes that would surprise you or that you haven't been made aware of through this policy.

  • Account management: Creating, maintaining, and servicing your PKO88 account, including processing your deposits, withdrawals, and any bonus activity.
  • Identity verification: Fulfilling KYC and age verification obligations required under our operating licence. This includes verifying that you are at least 21 years old and that your identity information is genuine.
  • Transaction processing: Facilitating deposits and withdrawals through GCash, Maya, and other supported Philippine payment channels.
  • Platform security and fraud prevention: Monitoring for suspicious activity, duplicate accounts, unauthorised access attempts, and any conduct that may violate our Terms and Conditions.
  • Responsible gaming: Using betting history and usage patterns to identify signs of problem gambling and to enforce responsible gaming tools such as deposit limits and self-exclusion.
  • Customer support: Using communication data to resolve queries, process complaints, and improve support quality.
  • Legal and regulatory compliance: Meeting obligations under applicable laws including anti-money laundering requirements and gaming regulations.
  • Platform improvement: Using aggregated, anonymised usage data to understand how players use the platform and to improve its performance and features.
  • Marketing communications: Sending promotional emails or in-platform messages about relevant offers, only where you have not opted out of such communications.
You can opt out of marketing communications at any time by updating your communication preferences in your account settings or by contacting our support team.

5 Legal Basis for Processing

PKO88 processes your personal data based on the following legal grounds, depending on the specific purpose of processing:

  • Contractual necessity: Processing is necessary to carry out the contract between you and PKO88 — i.e., to provide you with the gaming and betting services you've signed up for. This covers account management, deposits, withdrawals, and game access.
  • Legal obligation: Processing is required to comply with applicable laws and regulatory requirements, including KYC/AML obligations under our operating licence.
  • Legitimate interests: Processing serves PKO88's legitimate interest in maintaining a secure, fair, and commercially viable platform — including fraud detection, responsible gaming monitoring, and platform analytics.
  • Consent: For marketing communications and non-essential cookies, processing is based on your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.

6 Sharing Your Personal Data

PKO88 does not sell your personal data. We share it only in limited, specific circumstances, and always with appropriate protections in place.

  • Payment processors: GCash, Maya, banks, and card networks need specific financial information to process your transactions. We share only what is necessary for each transaction.
  • Identity verification providers: We use third-party KYC services to verify identity documents. These providers receive identity data solely for verification purposes and are contractually prohibited from using it for any other purpose.
  • Game providers: Some third-party game providers may receive an anonymised player identifier to facilitate game sessions. They do not receive your name, contact details, or financial data.
  • Regulatory authorities: We may be required to disclose certain data to licensing and regulatory authorities, law enforcement, or financial intelligence units under applicable Philippine law or our operating licence terms. We comply with such requests when legally obligated to do so.
  • Professional advisers: Legal, accounting, and audit professionals may access data as necessary, subject to strict confidentiality obligations.
All third parties who receive PKO88 player data are contractually required to handle it in accordance with applicable data protection law and to use it only for the agreed purpose.

7 Data Storage and Security

PKO88 takes the security of your personal data seriously. We implement technical and organisational measures designed to protect your information from unauthorised access, loss, alteration, or disclosure.

These measures include:

  • Encryption of data in transit using TLS (Transport Layer Security) across all platform connections.
  • Encryption of sensitive data at rest, including KYC documents and financial information.
  • Access controls that limit who within the PKO88 organisation can access personal data, based on strict need-to-know principles.
  • Regular security assessments and penetration testing of our platform infrastructure.
  • Secure, redundant data storage infrastructure with access logging and monitoring.
  • Staff training on data protection responsibilities and security practices.

While PKO88 implements these protections, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. If you have reason to believe your PKO88 account has been compromised, please contact our support team immediately so we can take action to protect your account and data.

PKO88 will never ask for your account password in any communication. If you receive a message claiming to be from PKO88 asking for your password, treat it as a phishing attempt and report it to our support team.

8 Data Retention Periods

PKO88 retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. The following general retention periods apply:

  • Account data: Retained for the duration of your active account relationship with PKO88 and for a period of up to five (5) years following account closure, as required for regulatory compliance.
  • KYC documents: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years following the end of the account relationship, in accordance with anti-money laundering regulations.
  • Transaction records: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years following each transaction, as required under financial record-keeping obligations.
  • Support communications: Retained for up to two (2) years following the close of the relevant support interaction, for quality assurance and dispute resolution purposes.
  • Marketing preferences: Retained until you withdraw consent or update your preferences, plus a reasonable period for system updates to take effect.
  • Technical/log data: Typically retained for up to twelve (12) months for security and performance monitoring purposes.

When data is no longer required, it is deleted or anonymised in accordance with our data destruction procedures.

9 Cookies and Tracking Technologies

PKO88 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the platform. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. We use the following types of cookies:

  • Strictly necessary cookies: These are essential to the operation of the platform. They enable core functions like session management, account login, and bet placement. These cannot be disabled without affecting your ability to use the platform.
  • Functional cookies: These remember your preferences — like your preferred language or currency display — to improve your experience across sessions.
  • Analytics cookies: These collect information about how you and other players use the platform, helping us understand which features are used most and where improvements are needed. Analytics data is aggregated and does not identify you individually.
  • Security cookies: Used to detect and prevent fraudulent activity and to support our platform security measures.

You can manage non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, though doing so for strictly necessary cookies will affect your ability to use the PKO88 platform. PKO88 does not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking pixels for external ad targeting.

Clearing your browser cookies will log you out of PKO88 and reset session-related preferences. Make sure you have your login details saved before clearing cookies.

10 Your Privacy Rights

As a PKO88 player, you have rights over your personal data. PKO88 is committed to respecting and facilitating those rights. Here's what you're entitled to:

Right of Access

You can request a copy of the personal data PKO88 holds about you at any time. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and at no cost for the first request.

Right to Correction

If any personal data we hold is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request a correction. You can update basic information directly from your account settings.

Right to Erasure

In certain circumstances, you can request deletion of your personal data. Note that this right is subject to our legal retention obligations — some data must be kept for regulatory compliance.

Right to Object

You can object to processing of your data based on legitimate interests, including profiling for marketing purposes. If you object, we will assess whether a compelling reason to continue exists.

Right to Portability

Where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out automatically, you can request your personal data in a structured, commonly-used, machine-readable format.

Right to Withdraw Consent

Where processing is based on your consent — such as marketing emails — you can withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal.

To exercise any of these rights, contact our support team via live chat or email at support@pko88.best. We will respond within thirty (30) days and at no charge for standard requests.

11 Children's Privacy

PKO88 is strictly an adults-only platform. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 21 years of age. Age verification is performed on all new accounts as part of our standard KYC process.

If we become aware that personal data has been collected from an individual under 21, we will immediately close that account, delete the associated data, and reverse any transactions where possible. If you believe a minor has registered on PKO88, please notify our support team immediately so we can investigate and act.

PKO88 also complies with applicable Philippine laws regarding the protection of minors in the context of online gaming.

12 Changes to This Privacy Policy

PKO88 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, applicable law, or platform features. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the date of the most recent revision.

When we make material changes to this policy — changes that significantly affect your rights or how we handle your data — we will notify registered players through a notice on the platform and, where practical, via email. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

Your continued use of PKO88 after a policy update constitutes your acknowledgment of the revised policy. If any change is unacceptable to you, you may close your account and request deletion of your data as described in Section 10.

We recommend bookmarking this page so you can easily check back for any updates.
