88bf Privacy Policy

At 88bf, your privacy matters. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what personal data we collect when you use our platform, why we collect it, how we use it and how we keep it safe. We believe you have the right to know — clearly and in plain language — what happens to your information.

Your Data, Your Rights

By registering an account or using the 88bf platform, you confirm that you have read this Privacy Policy and consent to the collection and use of your personal data as described. If you have any questions, contact us at [email protected].

How 88bf Protects Your Privacy

Six core commitments that define how 88bf handles your personal data. The full policy is below — these cards give you the quick picture.

We Only Collect What We Need

88bf collects only the personal data that is genuinely necessary to operate your account, process your transactions and comply with our legal obligations. We don't collect data for the sake of it. Every piece of information we ask for has a clear, specific purpose — and we explain what that purpose is in this policy.

Bank-Grade Encryption on All Data

All personal data stored and transmitted by 88bf is protected using industry-standard TLS encryption. Your account credentials are stored using one-way hashing — meaning even 88bf staff cannot see your password. Payment data is handled through PCI-DSS compliant processors and is never stored on 88bf's own servers.

We Never Sell Your Data

88bf does not sell, rent or trade your personal data to any third party for marketing purposes. Full stop. Your data may be shared with carefully selected service providers who help us operate the platform — such as payment processors and identity verification providers — but only under strict data processing agreements that prohibit them from using your data for any other purpose.

Strict Internal Access Controls

Access to player personal data within 88bf is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. Only staff members who require access to your data to perform their job — such as customer support agents handling your query or compliance staff conducting a verification check — are permitted to view it. All internal data access is logged and audited.

Clear Data Retention Limits

88bf retains your personal data only for as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Account data is retained for a minimum of five years after account closure to comply with anti-money laundering regulations. After the retention period expires, your data is securely deleted or anonymised.

You're in Control

You have the right to access the personal data 88bf holds about you, to request corrections, to ask us to delete data where legally permitted, and to withdraw consent for certain types of processing. You can exercise these rights at any time by contacting our support team. We will respond to all data requests within 30 days.

1 Who We Are

88bf is an online sports betting and gaming platform operating at 88bf.asia, serving players primarily in Bangladesh. When this Privacy Policy refers to "88bf", "we", "us" or "our", it means the company that operates the 88bf platform and is responsible for the personal data you provide when using our services.

88bf acts as the data controller for the personal information collected through the platform. This means we determine the purposes and means of processing your personal data. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how your data is handled, you can reach us at [email protected].

This Privacy Policy applies to all users of the 88bf website, mobile app and any other 88bf digital services. It covers data collected online only — it does not apply to any offline data collection activities.

2 Data We Collect

88bf collects personal data in three main ways: data you provide directly, data collected automatically when you use the platform, and data received from third parties.

3 How We Use Your Data

88bf uses your personal data for the following purposes:

  • Account management: Creating and maintaining your 88bf account, verifying your identity and processing your registration.
  • Transaction processing: Handling deposits, withdrawals and bet settlements in BDT via bKash, Nagad, Rocket and bank transfer.
  • Legal compliance: Meeting our obligations under anti-money laundering (AML) regulations, know-your-customer (KYC) requirements and other applicable laws.
  • Fraud prevention: Detecting and preventing fraudulent activity, account abuse and money laundering on the 88bf platform.
  • Customer support: Responding to your queries, complaints and requests via email, live chat or phone.
  • Responsible gaming: Monitoring betting patterns to identify potential problem gambling behaviour and applying responsible gaming tools where appropriate.
  • Platform improvement: Analysing usage data to improve the 88bf website, app and product offering.
  • Marketing communications: Sending you promotional offers and updates about 88bf — only where you have given your consent to receive them. You can opt out at any time.

4 Legal Basis for Processing

88bf processes your personal data on the following legal grounds:

  • Contract performance: Processing necessary to provide the services you have signed up for — including account management, bet settlement and payment processing.
  • Legal obligation: Processing required to comply with AML, KYC and other regulatory requirements applicable to licensed gambling operators.
  • Legitimate interests: Processing for fraud prevention, platform security, responsible gaming monitoring and internal analytics — where these interests are not overridden by your rights.
  • Consent: Processing for marketing communications and non-essential cookies — where you have given explicit consent. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

5 Sharing Your Data

88bf does not sell your personal data. We share your data only in the following limited circumstances, and only to the extent necessary for the stated purpose:

5.1 Service Providers

We share data with carefully selected third-party service providers who assist us in operating the 88bf platform. These include payment processors (bKash, Nagad, Rocket and bank partners), identity verification providers, fraud detection services, cloud hosting providers and customer support software providers. All service providers are bound by data processing agreements that restrict them from using your data for any purpose other than providing services to 88bf.

5.2 Regulatory and Legal Authorities

88bf may be required to disclose your personal data to regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies or courts where required by applicable law — for example, in connection with AML investigations, court orders or regulatory audits. We will notify you of any such disclosure where we are legally permitted to do so.

5.3 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition or sale of all or part of 88bf's business, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction. You will be notified of any such transfer and the privacy policy of the acquiring entity before your data is transferred.

88bf will never share your personal data with third-party advertisers or data brokers. If you receive any communication claiming to be from 88bf that asks for your personal data via an unofficial channel, please report it to [email protected] immediately.

6 Cookies & Tracking

88bf uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the platform, remember your preferences and analyse how the site is used. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit the 88bf website.

6.1 Types of Cookies We Use

  • Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function — including session management, login authentication and security. These cannot be disabled.
  • Functional cookies: Remember your preferences such as language settings and display options to improve your experience.
  • Analytics cookies: Help us understand how players use the platform so we can improve it. Data collected is aggregated and anonymised.
  • Marketing cookies: Used to deliver relevant promotional content — only with your consent.

6.2 Managing Cookies

You can manage your cookie preferences through the cookie settings panel on the 88bf website. You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies will affect the functionality of the platform and may prevent you from logging in or placing bets.

7 Data Security

88bf takes the security of your personal data seriously. We implement a range of technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, loss, destruction or alteration. These measures include:

  • TLS encryption for all data in transit between your device and 88bf's servers
  • AES-256 encryption for sensitive data stored at rest
  • One-way hashing for all account passwords
  • Multi-factor authentication options for account login
  • Regular security audits and penetration testing
  • Strict internal access controls and staff data protection training
  • PCI-DSS compliant payment processing — card and wallet data never stored on 88bf servers

Despite these measures, no internet transmission is completely secure. If you become aware of any unauthorised access to your 88bf account, please contact [email protected] immediately so we can take action to protect your account.

In the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your personal data, 88bf will notify you and the relevant regulatory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, as required by applicable data protection law.

8 Data Retention

88bf retains your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a period after account closure as required by law. The key retention periods are:

Data Type Retention Period Reason
Account & identity data 5 years after account closure AML / KYC legal requirement
Transaction records 5 years after transaction date Financial regulation compliance
Betting history 3 years after account closure Dispute resolution & auditing
Support communications 2 years after resolution Quality assurance & legal claims
Marketing consent records Until consent withdrawn + 1 year Proof of consent
Technical / log data 12 months Security monitoring

After the applicable retention period, your personal data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to you.

10 Children's Privacy

The 88bf platform is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. If we become aware that a minor has registered an account or provided personal data, we will close the account immediately and delete all associated data without delay.

If you believe a minor has registered on 88bf, please contact us at [email protected] so we can investigate and take appropriate action. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental control tools to prevent minors from accessing online gambling platforms.

11 International Data Transfers

Some of 88bf's service providers — including cloud hosting and analytics providers — may process your personal data outside of Bangladesh. Where data is transferred internationally, 88bf ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data to a standard equivalent to that required under applicable data protection law.

These safeguards may include standard contractual clauses, data processing agreements or transfers to countries that have been assessed as providing an adequate level of data protection. If you would like more information about the specific safeguards in place for any international transfer, contact us at [email protected].

12 Changes to This Policy

88bf may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal requirements or platform features. When we make material changes, we will notify registered players by email or via an in-platform notification at least 14 days before the changes take effect.

The date at the top of this page shows when the policy was last updated. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the 88bf platform after any changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
