w788 Privacy Policy

w788 is an internationally licensed online gaming platform available at w788.ws, operated by the w788 international gaming group. We provide a broad range of gaming and wagering services to players across Pakistan, including sports betting on cricket and PSL, live casino games, slots, Andar Bahar, Cat Fishing, and a full sportsbook — all accessible with PKR deposits.

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, w788 acts as the data controller in respect of all personal data collected from registered players and platform visitors. This means that w788 determines the purposes and means by which your personal data is processed.

If you have any questions about how w788 handles your personal data, you can contact our Data Protection team directly at [email protected] with the subject line "Privacy Enquiry".

w788 collects only the personal data that is necessary to deliver our services, comply with our licensing obligations, and maintain the security and integrity of the platform. The categories of personal data we collect are as follows:

We do not collect sensitive personal data such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, trade union membership, genetic data, or health data, except where strictly required by responsible gaming obligations (for example, self-exclusion records).

w788 collects personal data through the following means:

• Direct Interactions: When you register an account, complete KYC verification, make a deposit or withdrawal, contact customer support, or participate in a promotion, you directly provide us with personal data.
• Automated Technologies: As you navigate the w788 platform, we automatically collect Technical Data and Usage Data via cookies, server logs, and similar tracking technologies. This data helps us maintain session continuity, detect suspicious activity, and improve platform performance.
• Payment Processors: When you initiate a PKR deposit or withdrawal via JazzCash, EasyPaisa, HBL, UBL, or Meezan Bank, our payment processing partners share limited transaction reference data with w788 to confirm the status of your financial transaction.
• Identity Verification Partners: During KYC verification, our compliance partners may share the outcome of identity and document checks with w788 to confirm your eligibility to register and withdraw from the platform.
• Responsible Gaming Databases: Where applicable under our licensing framework, w788 may cross-reference player data against responsible gaming self-exclusion registers to prevent individuals who have opted into exclusion programmes from accessing the platform.

w788 uses your personal data for the following clearly defined purposes:

• Account Management: To create, maintain, and secure your w788 player account, including processing login requests, password resets, and two-factor authentication.
• Identity and Age Verification: To confirm that you meet the minimum age requirement of 21 years and to verify your identity in compliance with our international gaming licence obligations before processing your first withdrawal.
• Transaction Processing: To process PKR deposits and withdrawals via JazzCash, EasyPaisa, and Pakistani bank transfers, and to maintain accurate financial records for your account.
• Service Delivery: To enable your participation in all w788 gaming products including cricket betting, live casino, slots, Andar Bahar, and Cat Fishing.
• Customer Support: To respond to your queries, resolve complaints, and manage your account on your behalf when you contact our support team.
• Fraud and Security: To detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent activity, money laundering, bonus abuse, multi-accounting, and any other conduct that violates our Terms & Conditions or applicable law.
• Responsible Gaming: To monitor account activity for indicators of problem gambling behaviour and to administer deposit limits, self-exclusion requests, and cool-off periods as requested by you or required by our licensing framework.
• Legal and Regulatory Compliance: To comply with our obligations under our international gaming licence, including record-keeping requirements, anti-money laundering obligations, and cooperation with law enforcement agencies where legally required.
• Platform Improvement: To analyse aggregated, anonymised usage data and improve the functionality, performance, and user experience of the w788 platform.
• Marketing Communications: To send you promotional offers, bonus notifications, and relevant product updates, subject to your marketing preferences and the terms of Section 13 of this policy.

w788 processes your personal data under the following legal bases, depending on the specific processing activity involved:

• Contractual Necessity: Processing required to perform our contract with you, including account registration, KYC verification, transaction processing, and game delivery.
• Legal Obligation: Processing necessary to comply with our international gaming licence conditions, anti-money laundering regulations, and cooperation obligations with regulatory and law enforcement authorities.
• Legitimate Interests: Processing carried out for w788's legitimate business interests where these do not override your fundamental rights — for example, fraud prevention, security monitoring, and aggregate platform analytics.
• Consent: Processing based on your explicit consent, particularly in relation to optional marketing communications. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

w788 does not sell, rent, or commercially exploit your personal data to any third party. We share personal data only in the following defined circumstances:

• Payment Processors: We share necessary transaction data with JazzCash, EasyPaisa, HBL, UBL, and Meezan Bank solely to process your deposits and withdrawals. These processors are contractually bound to handle your data securely and may not use it for any other purpose.
• KYC and Identity Verification Providers: We share identity document data with our licensed KYC verification partners to fulfil our age verification and anti-fraud obligations. These partners operate under strict data processing agreements.
• Gaming Studios and Content Providers: For live casino games and certain slot titles, limited session data may be shared with licensed gaming studios to facilitate game delivery. These studios are independently licensed and operate under their own data protection frameworks.
• Regulatory and Law Enforcement Authorities: w788 will disclose personal data to regulatory authorities, licensing bodies, or law enforcement agencies where required by law, court order, or legitimate regulatory demand. We will notify you of such disclosures where legally permitted to do so.
• Responsible Gaming Registers: Where required by our licensing framework, we may report voluntary self-exclusion elections to inter-operator responsible gaming databases to prevent access to other licensed platforms.
• Corporate Transactions: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of w788's business, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity. We will notify you of any such transfer and the applicable privacy terms of the new controller.

As an internationally licensed gaming platform, w788 may process and store personal data in countries outside of Pakistan. This may include the jurisdiction in which w788 holds its gaming licence, as well as data centre locations used by our hosting and infrastructure providers.

Where personal data is transferred internationally, w788 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data to a standard equivalent to the protections described in this Privacy Policy. These safeguards may include:

• Contractual data processing agreements incorporating internationally recognised data protection clauses
• Transfer to jurisdictions recognised as providing an adequate level of data protection under applicable licensing standards
• Binding corporate rules or equivalent internal data governance frameworks where data is transferred within the w788 group

If you would like more information about the specific safeguards in place for any particular international transfer of your data, please contact us at [email protected].

w788 retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by our licensing and legal obligations. Our general retention periods are as follows:

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with any individual player.

w788 uses cookies and similar technologies — including session tokens, local storage, and web beacons — to operate the platform effectively and deliver a personalised player experience. The categories of cookies used by w788 are as follows:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Required for the platform to function. These include session authentication tokens, CSRF protection cookies, and load balancing identifiers. You cannot opt out of strictly necessary cookies while using the platform.
• Functional Cookies: Enable enhanced functionality such as language preferences, game lobby layout settings, and odds display preferences. Disabling these may affect your platform experience.
• Analytics Cookies: Allow w788 to collect aggregated, anonymised data about how players navigate the platform — for example, which game categories are most visited and where players encounter difficulties. This data is used to improve platform design and performance. Individual player behaviour is not transmitted to third-party advertising networks.
• Security Cookies: Support our fraud detection and account security systems by identifying unusual login patterns, multiple account creation attempts, or suspicious device behaviour.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may impact the functionality of the w788 platform. For browsers used on Pakistani mobile networks, cookie settings can typically be managed through the browser's privacy or site data options.

As a w788 player, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected] with the subject line "Data Rights Request":

• Right of Access: You have the right to request a copy of all personal data w788 holds about you. We will respond to access requests within 30 days of receipt.
• Right to Rectification: You have the right to request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you. Certain data (for example, the name on your CNIC) can only be corrected upon submission of supporting documentary evidence.
• 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, or where you withdraw consent and no other legal basis applies. Please note that this right is subject to our retention obligations — data required by our licensing framework or anti-money laundering regulations cannot be deleted before the applicable retention period expires.
• Right to Restrict Processing: You may request that w788 restricts the processing of your data in certain circumstances — for example, while a data accuracy dispute is pending.
• Right to Data Portability: You have the right to receive a copy of the personal data you provided to w788 in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
• Right to Object: You have the right to object to processing carried out on the basis of w788's legitimate interests, including profiling. You also have an unconditional right to opt out of direct marketing at any time.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to the withdrawal.

w788 operates a strict minimum age policy. The platform is exclusively for players who are 21 years of age or older. w788 does not knowingly collect, process, or retain personal data from any individual under the age of 21.

Age verification is conducted at registration and again at the point of first withdrawal. Any account found to belong to a person under 21 will be immediately closed, all pending wagers voided, and all deposited funds returned to the verified payment source after investigation.

Parents and guardians in Pakistan are strongly encouraged to install parental control and web filtering software to prevent minors from accessing online gaming platforms, including w788. If you believe a minor has accessed or registered on the w788 platform, please contact us immediately at [email protected].

w788 implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or disclosure. These measures include:

• SSL/TLS Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and the w788 platform is encrypted using industry-standard Transport Layer Security (TLS). This protects your login credentials, payment details, and personal information in transit.
• Data Encryption at Rest: Sensitive personal data and financial records stored on w788 servers are encrypted at rest using AES-256 or equivalent encryption standards.
• Access Controls: Access to personal data is restricted to authorised w788 staff and contractors who have a legitimate need to access it in the course of their duties. All access is logged and subject to regular audit review.
• Two-Factor Authentication: w788 offers two-factor authentication for all player accounts. Players are strongly encouraged to enable this feature to add an additional layer of security to their login process.
• Penetration Testing: w788 conducts regular security assessments and penetration tests to identify and address potential vulnerabilities in the platform before they can be exploited.
• Incident Response: In the event of a data security breach that is likely to affect your rights and freedoms, w788 will notify affected players and relevant regulatory authorities within the timeframes required by our licensing obligations.

While w788 takes all reasonable steps to protect your data, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your own login credentials and for ensuring that no unauthorised person has access to your device or w788 account.

13.1 Opt-In Marketing. w788 may send you promotional communications about bonuses, new game launches, PSL betting specials, and other platform updates. Marketing communications are sent only to players who have opted in during registration or via their account notification settings.

13.2 Opting Out. You can withdraw consent to receive marketing communications at any time by:

• Clicking the unsubscribe link included in any promotional email from w788
• Updating your notification preferences in the w788 account settings panel
• Contacting our support team at [email protected] with the subject line "Unsubscribe"

13.3 Service Communications. Please note that opting out of marketing communications does not affect w788's ability to send you service-related communications — including security alerts, withdrawal confirmations, KYC requests, and updates to these policies. These communications are necessary for the operation of your account and are not subject to marketing opt-out preferences.

13.4 No Third-Party Marketing. w788 does not share your contact details with any third party for the purpose of that third party sending you direct marketing. Your email address and mobile number are used exclusively for w788 communications.

w788 reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, licensing requirements, or applicable law. When we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you by:

• Posting a prominent notice on the w788 platform at login
• Sending an email notification to your registered email address
• Updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page

Your continued use of the w788 platform following notification of a material change to this Privacy Policy constitutes your acknowledgement of the updated terms. If you do not agree with the updated Privacy Policy, you should cease using the platform and contact our support team to discuss closure of your account.

We encourage all w788 players to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your personal data. The most current version of this policy is always available at w788.ws/privacy-policy.
