2.1 Registration & Identity Data

When you create a 898bet account, we collect your full legal name, date of birth, gender, nationality, residential address (including city and province), email address, and mobile number. This information is required to verify your identity, confirm your eligibility to use the Platform, and comply with our Know Your Customer (KYC) obligations.

2.2 Verification Documents

To comply with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations and confirm your identity, 898bet may request copies of government-issued identification documents such as a Philippine passport, SSS ID, UMID, PhilSys National ID, or driver's license. We may also request proof of address and proof of payment method ownership.

2.3 Financial & Transaction Data

We collect records of all deposits, withdrawals, and betting transactions made through your 898bet account. This includes payment method details (such as your GCash mobile number, PayMaya account reference, BPI or BDO account details, or card type and last four digits), transaction amounts in Philippine Peso (₱), timestamps, and transaction reference numbers.

2.4 Usage & Technical Data

When you access the 898bet Platform, we automatically collect certain technical information, including your IP address, device type and model, operating system, browser type and version, screen resolution, session duration, pages visited, games played, and referring URL. This data helps us optimize the Platform's performance and detect fraudulent activity.

2.5 Communications Data

If you contact 898bet's customer support team, we retain records of your communications, including chat transcripts, email correspondence, and support ticket details. This allows us to resolve disputes, improve our service quality, and maintain an accurate record of interactions.
