Summary: pg999 collects only the personal data necessary to operate a safe, compliant, and enjoyable online casino and sports betting platform for players in Bangladesh. We do not sell your data to third-party advertisers. We protect all data with 256-bit SSL encryption. You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information at any time by contacting [email protected].
Introduction
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") is issued by pg999 ("we", "us", "our", or "the Company") and applies to all personal data collected from individuals ("you", "your", or "the Player") who access, register with, or use the pg999 online casino and sports betting platform available at pg999.online ("the Platform").
pg999 is committed to handling your personal information with transparency, integrity, and care. This Policy explains in plain language what personal data we collect, the purposes for which we use it, the legal grounds on which we process it, how long we retain it, and the rights you have in relation to your own data.
This Policy should be read alongside our Terms & Conditions and our Responsible Gaming policy, both of which are incorporated by reference. By registering an account or using any feature of the pg999 Platform, you confirm that you have read this Policy and that you consent to the collection and processing of your personal data as described herein.
Scope: This Policy applies to all personal data processed by pg999 in connection with the Platform, regardless of the device or method used to access it. It covers data collected via the pg999 website, any mobile-optimised version of the Platform, and any communications you initiate with our customer support team.
Data We Collect
pg999 collects personal data across several categories. The specific data collected from you will depend on the features of the Platform you use and the stage of your account lifecycle. The following table sets out the categories of personal data we collect and representative examples within each category.
| Category | Examples | When Collected |
|---|---|---|
| Identity Data | Full legal name, date of birth, gender, National ID number, passport number | Registration & KYC verification |
| Contact Data | Email address, mobile phone number, residential address (including city: Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, etc.) | Registration & account updates |
| Financial Data | Mobile wallet numbers (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay), Visa/Mastercard partial card details, deposit and withdrawal transaction records | Deposits, withdrawals & KYC |
| Account Data | Username, account balance, bonus history, wagering records, game history, session logs, responsible gaming settings | Ongoing account activity |
| Technical Data | IP address, device type, browser type and version, operating system, screen resolution, time zone, referral URL | Each Platform visit |
| Usage Data | Pages visited, games played, bet amounts, session duration, click paths, search queries within the Platform | Ongoing Platform interaction |
| Communications Data | Live chat transcripts, email correspondence, support ticket content, survey responses | Customer support interactions |
| Verification Documents | Scanned or photographed copies of government-issued ID, proof of address documents, selfie photographs | KYC verification process |
pg999 does not collect special categories of sensitive personal data (such as health data, biometric data, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, or religious beliefs) except where this is strictly required to comply with responsible gaming obligations — for example, where a player voluntarily discloses a gambling-related health concern when requesting self-exclusion.
How We Collect Your Data
pg999 collects personal data through the following channels:
- Direct interactions: Data you provide when registering an account, completing KYC verification, making a deposit or withdrawal, contacting our customer support team, or responding to surveys or promotions.
- Automated technologies: Technical and Usage Data collected automatically as you browse and interact with the Platform, using cookies, web beacons, server logs, and similar tracking technologies. See Section 7 (Cookies & Tracking) for full details.
- Third-party payment providers: Transaction confirmation data received from bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and card processors when you make deposits or withdrawals. pg999 receives only the information necessary to confirm and reconcile transactions — we do not receive or store your full card number or mobile banking PIN.
- Third-party game providers: Aggregated session and game-result data returned by providers such as Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, and Ezugi for the purposes of account settlement and dispute resolution.
- Identity verification services: Where we use third-party KYC verification tools to confirm the authenticity of documents you submit, those services may return verification status results to us. They do not retain your documents beyond their own stated retention periods.
- Publicly available sources: In limited circumstances where fraud prevention or AML obligations require it, we may cross-reference information you have provided against publicly available databases, sanction lists, or adverse media sources.
Legal Basis for Processing
pg999 processes your personal data only where a valid legal basis exists. The legal bases we rely on are as follows:
- Contractual necessity: The majority of data processing carried out by pg999 is necessary to perform our contract with you — that is, to operate your account, process deposits and withdrawals, calculate and credit winnings, apply bonuses, and deliver customer support. Without this processing, pg999 cannot provide the Platform services.
- Legal obligation: pg999 is subject to Anti-Money Laundering (AML) obligations, Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements, and fraud prevention duties. Processing your identity, financial, and transaction data is required for us to fulfil these legal obligations. Records maintained for AML compliance are retained for defined mandatory periods regardless of your consent.
- Legitimate interests: pg999 processes Technical Data and Usage Data on the basis of our legitimate interests in operating a secure, functional, and commercially viable platform. This includes fraud detection, security monitoring, platform performance optimisation, and aggregate analytics. We balance these interests against your privacy rights and process only the minimum data necessary for each purpose.
- Consent: Where we send you promotional communications by email or in-platform notification, we do so on the basis of your consent, obtained at the time of registration or through your account marketing preferences. You may withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time via your account settings or by contacting [email protected].
Note on withdrawal of consent: Withdrawing your consent for marketing communications does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before the withdrawal, and does not affect processing carried out on other legal bases (such as contractual necessity or legal obligation). Withdrawing marketing consent will not close your account or affect your ability to use the Platform.
How We Use Your Personal Data
pg999 uses the personal data we collect for the following specific purposes. We do not use your data for any purpose incompatible with those listed below without first providing you with notice and, where required, obtaining your consent.
- Account creation and management: To register and maintain your pg999 account, authenticate your identity at login, process account settings changes, and manage your responsible gaming preferences.
- Payment processing: To facilitate deposits and withdrawals via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and card networks; to reconcile transaction records; and to investigate payment discrepancies.
- KYC and AML compliance: To verify your identity and age (21+ requirement), to conduct anti-money laundering checks, to screen against international sanctions lists, and to maintain mandatory compliance records.
- Bonus and promotion administration: To determine your eligibility for welcome bonuses and ongoing promotions, to credit and track bonus balances, to monitor wagering requirement progress, and to detect and prevent bonus abuse.
- Customer support: To handle your enquiries, complaints, and support requests via live chat and email; to maintain a record of our communications for quality assurance and dispute resolution purposes.
- Platform security and fraud prevention: To detect and investigate suspicious account activity, unauthorised access attempts, multi-accounting, payment fraud, and other prohibited conduct described in our Terms & Conditions.
- Responsible gaming: To monitor gameplay patterns that may indicate problem gambling behaviour; to enforce deposit limits, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion settings; and to contact players who may be at risk.
- Platform improvement: To analyse aggregated usage data and identify opportunities to improve the Platform's performance, user experience, game catalogue, and promotional offering.
- Marketing communications (consent-based): To send you personalised bonus offers, tournament announcements, and platform updates by email or in-platform notification, where you have opted in to receive such communications.
Data Sharing & Disclosure
pg999 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third-party advertisers or data brokers under any circumstances. We share your personal data only in the limited circumstances described below, and only to the extent necessary for the stated purpose.
- Game providers: We share your account identifier and session data with certified game providers (Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, Ezugi) solely to deliver and settle the games you play. These providers process data under their own privacy policies and are contractually bound to handle data securely and use it only for game-delivery purposes.
- Payment processors: We share transaction data with mobile financial service providers (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay) and card networks (Visa, Mastercard) for the sole purpose of processing your deposits and withdrawals. No additional personal data beyond what is necessary for payment execution is shared.
- KYC and identity verification providers: Where we use third-party tools to verify the authenticity of identity documents you submit, we share the document images and associated identity data with those providers under strict data processing agreements. Verification results are returned to pg999; providers may not use your data for their own purposes.
- Legal and regulatory disclosure: pg999 may be required to disclose your personal data to law enforcement agencies, financial intelligence units, courts, or regulatory bodies where we are legally obliged to do so. We will notify you of any such disclosure where legally permitted.
- Fraud prevention and AML networks: In cases of suspected fraud or money laundering, pg999 may share relevant data with other gaming operators, industry fraud-prevention consortia, or financial crime agencies as permitted or required by law.
- Corporate transactions: In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of all or part of pg999's business, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity. We will provide notice of any such transfer and ensure that equivalent privacy protections apply to your data in the hands of the successor entity.
All third parties with whom pg999 shares personal data are required to implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures and to process your data only for the purposes specified in our data-sharing agreements.
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
pg999 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate core Platform functions, analyse usage patterns, and enhance your experience. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit the Platform. Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot access other files stored on your device.
The following categories of cookies are used on the pg999 Platform:
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Session management, login authentication, security tokens, fraud prevention. These cookies are essential for the Platform to function and cannot be disabled without breaking core services. | Session / up to 24 hours |
| Functional | Remembering your language preferences, display settings, and responsible gaming configuration so you do not need to re-enter them on each visit. | Up to 12 months |
| Analytics | Collecting aggregated, anonymised data on how players navigate the Platform — which pages are visited most, where users drop off, and which features are used most frequently. Used exclusively for internal Platform improvement. | Up to 24 months |
| Performance | Monitoring Platform load times, error rates, and server response performance to ensure a consistent and fast experience for all players. | Up to 6 months |
pg999 does not use third-party advertising cookies or retargeting pixels. We do not share cookie data with ad networks or social media platforms.
You may manage or disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging into or using the pg999 Platform. Disabling functional cookies may result in loss of saved preferences between sessions.
Data Retention
pg999 retains personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with our legal obligations, and to resolve any disputes that may arise. The following retention periods apply to the principal categories of personal data we hold:
- Account and identity data: Retained for the duration of your active account relationship with pg999, plus a minimum of five (5) years following account closure to satisfy AML record-keeping requirements.
- Financial transaction records: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of each transaction, in accordance with applicable AML and financial record-keeping obligations.
- KYC verification documents: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of verification or account closure, whichever is later.
- Customer support communications: Retained for three (3) years from the date of the communication, to support dispute resolution and quality assurance.
- Technical and usage data: Aggregated analytics data is retained for up to 24 months. Raw server logs are retained for up to 90 days before automatic deletion or anonymisation.
- Marketing consent records: Retained for the duration of your account relationship and for two (2) years following account closure, as evidence of consent or opt-out status.
When retention periods expire, pg999 securely deletes or anonymises the data in question. Where data has been anonymised, it may be retained indefinitely as part of aggregated statistical datasets that cannot be used to identify any individual.
AML obligations take precedence: Even if you request deletion of your personal data (see Section 10), pg999 is legally required to retain transaction records and identity documents for the mandatory AML retention period. Your deletion request will be honoured for all data not subject to these mandatory retention obligations.
Data Security
pg999 implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or disclosure. Key security measures in place include:
- 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption: All data transmitted between your device and the pg999 Platform is encrypted using industry-standard 256-bit SSL/TLS protocols. This applies to all Platform pages, payment flows, and API communications.
- Encrypted data storage: Sensitive personal data, including identity documents and financial records, is stored in encrypted form on secured servers. Encryption keys are managed separately from the data they protect.
- Access controls: Access to personal data within pg999's systems is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. All staff members with data access undergo background checks and receive regular data protection training. Access logs are maintained and reviewed periodically.
- Two-factor authentication: pg999's internal administrative systems are protected by multi-factor authentication. We strongly recommend that players also enable two-factor authentication on their pg999 accounts where this feature is available.
- Intrusion detection and monitoring: pg999 operates continuous security monitoring on all Platform infrastructure, with automated alerting for suspicious access patterns, unusual traffic volumes, and potential security incidents.
- Vulnerability management: The Platform is subject to regular penetration testing and security audits by qualified independent security professionals. Identified vulnerabilities are remediated according to a risk-prioritised patching schedule.
- Data breach response: In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to players' rights and freedoms, pg999 will notify affected players without undue delay and will take immediate remediation steps.
While pg999 employs robust security measures, no digital system can be guaranteed entirely free of risk. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your own account credentials. If you suspect your account has been compromised, contact our support team immediately at [email protected].
Your Privacy Rights
As a pg999 player, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected] with the subject line "Data Rights Request", your pg999 account username, and a description of the right you wish to exercise. We will respond within thirty (30) calendar days of receiving your request.
- Right of access: You have the right to request a copy of the personal data pg999 holds about you, together with information about how it is being used. We will provide this in a clear, readable format.
- Right to rectification: If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that it be corrected. For basic contact information, you may update data directly through your account settings without needing to contact us.
- Right to erasure: You may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, where you have withdrawn your consent (and no other legal basis applies), or where the data has been processed unlawfully. This right is subject to our mandatory AML and legal retention obligations described in Section 8.
- Right to restrict processing: You may request that pg999 restrict the processing of your data in certain circumstances — for example, where you contest the accuracy of the data or where you have objected to processing pending verification of our legitimate grounds.
- Right to data portability: Where processing is based on your consent or on contractual necessity and is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive a copy of your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format and to transmit it to another controller.
- Right to object: You have the right to object to processing based on our legitimate interests. We will cease that processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, or where processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.
- Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on your consent (in particular, marketing communications), you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of prior processing.
Response timeframe: pg999 will acknowledge your data rights request within five (5) business days and will provide a substantive response within thirty (30) calendar days. Where a request is complex or we receive multiple simultaneous requests, we may extend this period by a further thirty (30) days and will notify you accordingly.
Children's Privacy
The pg999 Platform is strictly intended for individuals aged 21 years and above. pg999 does not knowingly collect personal data from any person under the age of 21. Our age verification procedures — implemented at the point of registration and reinforced by our KYC process — are designed to prevent access by underage individuals.
If pg999 becomes aware that personal data has been collected from an individual under the age of 21 without appropriate verification having occurred, we will:
- Immediately suspend the relevant account pending investigation.
- Delete all personal data associated with the underage account, except where retention is required for AML or legal compliance purposes.
- Return any deposits made to the payment method used for the original transaction.
- Void all wagers placed and confiscate any winnings generated during the underage player's use of the Platform.
If you believe a person under 21 has registered or is using a pg999 account, please report this to us immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate all such reports promptly and confidentially.
Third-Party Services & Links
The pg999 Platform integrates with third-party services — including game providers, payment processors, and analytics tools — that may process personal data independently under their own privacy policies. pg999 is not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties beyond the data-processing agreements we hold with them.
Third-party game providers including Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, and Ezugi operate their game software under their own end-user terms. While we integrate their games into the pg999 Platform, each provider may collect limited technical data (such as session IDs and game-result data) directly via their game clients. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these providers if you have specific concerns about their data-handling practices.
pg999 does not embed third-party advertising networks, social media plugins, or tracking pixels on the Platform. Any links to external websites (where present) are provided solely for reference, and visiting those external sites is at your own risk. pg999 has no control over and accepts no responsibility for the content or privacy practices of any external website.
International Data Transfers
pg999 operates infrastructure and engages service providers that may be located in jurisdictions outside Bangladesh. Where personal data is transferred internationally — for example, to game provider servers or KYC verification tools hosted in other countries — pg999 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data to a standard equivalent to that which applies within Bangladesh.
Safeguards employed for international data transfers include:
- Contractual data processing agreements incorporating standard data protection clauses with all international service providers.
- Transfer-impact assessments conducted before entering into any new international data-sharing relationship.
- Restrictions on onward transfers by recipient parties without prior written authorisation from pg999.
- Periodic review of international transfer arrangements to ensure continued adequacy of protection.
pg999 does not transfer personal data to jurisdictions assessed to provide inadequate data protection without implementing additional compensatory safeguards. If you have concerns about any specific international transfer arrangement, please contact us at [email protected].
Amendments to This Policy
pg999 reserves the right to update or revise this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data-processing practices, new legal obligations, or improvements to our Platform. When material changes are made, we will update the "Last Updated" date displayed at the top of this page and, where practicable, notify registered players via email or an in-platform notification.
We encourage all players to review this Policy periodically to remain informed of how we handle personal data. Your continued use of the pg999 Platform following the publication of a revised Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not agree with any amended provisions, you should discontinue use of the Platform and may request account closure by contacting [email protected].
Version history: The current version of this Privacy Policy is always accessible at pg999.online/privacy-policy. If you require a copy of a previous version for reference purposes, please contact our support team and we will provide it where feasible.
Contact & Complaints
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, wish to exercise any of your data rights, or have concerns about how pg999 has handled your personal data, please contact our Data Protection team using the details below. All correspondence should clearly include your pg999 account username and the nature of your query or concern.
- Email: [email protected] (plain text — not a clickable link)

Preferred contact method: For formal data rights requests and privacy complaints, email is the preferred channel as it creates a verifiable paper trail and allows us to track your request accurately through to resolution. Please avoid submitting formal data rights requests via live chat, as these cannot be formally tracked in the same way.
Six Principles That Guide How pg999 Handles Your Data
Every data-handling decision at pg999 is measured against these core principles. They are not aspirational — they are operational standards embedded in our systems and processes.
Data Minimisation
pg999 collects only the personal data that is strictly necessary for a specific, documented purpose. We do not gather data speculatively or retain it beyond the point at which the collection purpose has been fulfilled. Every data field in our systems has a justified reason for existing.
Transparent Processing
This Privacy Policy is written in plain English and is accessible at all times via the pg999 footer. We do not hide data-processing activities in obscure sub-clauses. If our practices change in a material way, we notify players proactively before the changes take effect.
Security by Design
Data security is built into the architecture of the pg999 Platform from the ground up — not bolted on as an afterthought. 256-bit SSL encryption, encrypted storage, role-based access controls, and continuous monitoring are standard features of every system that handles player data.
Respect for Player Rights
Your rights to access, correct, delete, and port your personal data are treated as genuine entitlements, not obstacles. pg999 has a dedicated process for handling data rights requests and commits to responding within thirty days — with no unnecessary friction or bureaucratic delay.
No Data Selling
pg999 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third-party advertiser, data broker, or commercial partner. Your information is used exclusively to operate and improve the pg999 Platform and to meet our legal obligations. This is an unconditional commitment with no exceptions.
Regular Policy Review
Privacy law and best practices evolve continuously. pg999 reviews this Policy at least annually and updates it whenever our data-handling practices change or new legal obligations arise. The current version is always published at pg999.online/privacy-policy with a clear effective date.
