bidget Privacy Policy
At bidget, your privacy is not an afterthought — it is a core part of how we operate. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, and what rights you have under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act 10173). We process your data to deliver safe, reliable gaming services to Filipino players across the country.
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act and bidget's own data governance policy, you hold meaningful rights over your personal information. Here is a quick overview — full details are in Section 10 below.
Right to Access
You have the right to request a complete copy of all personal data bidget holds about you at any time. We will respond to verified access requests within fifteen (15) business days.
Right to Correction
If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated, you have the right to request a correction. Most Account details can be updated directly through your bidget Account settings.
Right to Erasure
You may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected, subject to bidget's legal retention obligations under PAGCOR regulations and Philippine law.
Right to Object
You may object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes at any time. You can manage your marketing communication preferences directly in your Account settings or by contacting support.
Right to Portability
You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format so that it may be transferred to another service provider where technically feasible.

Data Privacy Commitment: bidget is committed to full compliance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act 10173) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations as overseen by the National Privacy Commission (NPC). We have appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO) to oversee all personal data processing activities on the bidget platform. Contact details for our DPO are in Section 14.
Policy Overview
This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data collected, processed, and stored by bidget in connection with the operation of the bidget online casino and sports betting platform at bidget.app. It covers data collected from registered Players, visitors to the site who have not yet registered, and individuals who contact bidget via support channels.
bidget acts as the Personal Information Controller (PIC) for all personal data processed in connection with the platform. Where bidget engages third-party service providers — such as payment processors, KYC verification providers, or certified game studios — those parties act as Personal Information Processors (PIPs) under written data processing agreements that bind them to the same privacy standards as bidget.
By registering a bidget Account or using the bidget platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with how we process your personal data as described in this Policy, you should not register an Account or use the bidget platform.
This Policy should be read together with bidget's Terms & Conditions and Responsible Gaming Policy, both of which incorporate privacy-related commitments by reference.

bidget collects personal data through the following channels:
- Direct Collection: Data you provide when registering your Account, completing KYC verification, making deposits or withdrawals, placing bets, contacting our support team, or responding to surveys.

Legal Basis for Processing

- Legal Obligation: Processing required to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including PAGCOR licensing requirements, AML obligations under the Anti-Money Laundering Act (RA 9160 as amended), and KYC requirements.
- Legitimate Interests: Processing necessary for bidget's legitimate business interests, including fraud prevention, platform security, network integrity monitoring, and responsible gaming enforcement — where those interests are not overridden by your rights.
- Consent: Processing for purposes where you have given us specific, informed, and freely given consent — primarily for marketing communications. You may withdraw your consent at any time through your Account settings or by contacting [email protected].
How We Use Your Data

- To comply with PAGCOR reporting obligations and respond to requests from other competent Philippine regulatory or law enforcement authorities.

- To improve the bidget platform through aggregated, anonymised analytics data covering player behaviour patterns, device performance, and game popularity metrics.

Data Sharing & Disclosure

- Payment Processors: GCash, Maya, BPI, BDO, UnionBank, Metrobank, 7-Eleven Cliqq, Coins.ph, and USDT TRC20 processors receive only the transaction data necessary to process your deposits and withdrawals.
- KYC Verification Partners: Certified identity and age verification service providers receive your submitted identification documents for the sole purpose of verifying your identity and age on bidget's behalf.
- Game Studio Providers: Game studios whose titles are hosted on the bidget platform receive limited technical session data (player ID, session token, wager amounts) necessary to deliver gameplay and settle game outcomes. They do not receive your full identity data.
- Fraud and AML Prevention: Shared risk signals and flagged transaction data may be shared with certified fraud prevention networks and AML compliance partners as required by law.
- Regulatory Authorities: PAGCOR and other competent Philippine government authorities (including the AMLC — Anti-Money Laundering Council) may receive data as required by law, court order, or regulatory directive. bidget will comply with all lawful data requests from competent Philippine authorities.
- Professional Advisers: Lawyers, auditors, and other professional advisers who assist bidget in legal, compliance, and financial matters, under strict confidentiality obligations.
All third-party partners who process personal data on bidget's behalf are subject to written data processing agreements that require them to process data only on bidget's documented instructions, maintain appropriate technical and organisational security measures, and comply with the Philippine Data Privacy Act.

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through your browser settings. Note that disabling strictly necessary or security cookies will significantly impair your ability to use the bidget platform.
Data Retention
bidget retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations. The following retention periods apply:
- Account and Identity Data: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of Account closure, as required by PAGCOR licensing conditions and AML regulations.
- Financial Transaction Records: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of the transaction, as required by the Anti-Money Laundering Act of the Philippines.
- KYC Documents: Retained for the duration of your active Account plus a minimum of five (5) years following Account closure, as mandated by PAGCOR regulations.
- Gaming Activity Logs: Retained for a minimum of three (3) years for dispute resolution purposes, and longer where required by PAGCOR reporting obligations.
- Support Communications: Retained for two (2) years from the date of the interaction, or longer if the matter relates to an ongoing dispute or regulatory investigation.
- Marketing Consent Records: Retained for as long as your Account is active, and for two (2) years following opt-out or Account closure.
Following the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised in a manner that prevents identification of the individual. Anonymised and aggregated data (from which you cannot be identified) may be retained indefinitely for statistical analysis and platform improvement purposes.
Data Security
bidget implements a layered set of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our key security controls include:
- Encryption in Transit: All data transmitted between your browser or device and the bidget platform is protected using TLS 1.2 or higher encryption. HTTPS is enforced across all bidget platform endpoints.
- Encryption at Rest: Sensitive personal data — including identity data, KYC documents, and financial records — is stored using AES-256 encryption in bidget's secure data infrastructure.
- Access Controls: Access to personal data within bidget's systems is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. Staff access is role-based, logged, and subject to regular review. All staff with access to personal data receive mandatory data privacy training.
- Two-Factor Authentication: Administrative access to systems that store or process personal data requires multi-factor authentication. Players are strongly encouraged to enable two-factor authentication on their bidget Accounts.
- Penetration Testing: bidget's platform undergoes regular third-party security assessments and penetration testing to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
- Incident Response: bidget maintains a documented data breach response plan. In the event of a personal data breach affecting your rights, bidget will notify the National Privacy Commission within seventy-two (72) hours of discovery and notify affected Players without undue delay, as required by the Data Privacy Act.
While bidget employs robust security measures, no online system is completely immune to risk. You play an important role in keeping your Account secure — use a strong, unique password for your bidget Account, do not share your login credentials, and contact our support team immediately if you suspect unauthorised access to your Account.

- Right to Rectification: The right to request correction of any inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated personal data we hold about you.

Minors & Age Policy
The bidget platform is strictly for individuals aged 21 years and above. This is a PAGCOR regulatory requirement applicable to all real-money online gaming in the Philippines. We do not knowingly collect, process, or retain personal data from individuals under the age of 21.
All Account registrations are subject to mandatory age verification through our KYC process. Where bidget discovers or has reasonable grounds to believe that personal data has been collected from a person under 21 years of age, the following actions will be taken immediately:
- The Account will be permanently suspended pending investigation.
- Any deposits made will be returned to the originating payment method.
- No winnings generated during the period of underage use will be released.
- All personal data associated with the underage Account will be deleted as soon as the investigation is concluded and legal retention obligations are addressed.
- The matter may be reported to PAGCOR and relevant Philippine authorities.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor in your household has registered a bidget Account, please contact our support team at [email protected] immediately. We take these reports seriously and will act without delay.
International Data Transfers
bidget's primary data infrastructure is located within the Philippines. In certain cases, personal data may be transferred to or accessed from servers located outside the Philippines — for example, where a certified game studio or KYC verification partner operates data infrastructure abroad.
Where personal data is transferred outside the Philippines, bidget ensures that equivalent data protection standards are in place through one or more of the following safeguards:
- The recipient country has data protection laws recognised as providing an adequate level of protection by the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines.
- The transfer is governed by a written data transfer agreement incorporating the standard contractual clauses approved by the NPC.
- The recipient is certified under a recognised international data protection framework (such as ISO 27001 or equivalent).
You may request information about the specific international transfer safeguards applicable to your data by contacting our Data Protection Officer.

If you do not agree to the updated Policy, you should stop using the platform and request Account closure in accordance with the Terms & Conditions.
