bk188 Privacy Policy — How We Handle Your Personal Data
This Privacy Policy explains what personal information bk188 collects, how it is used, how it is protected, and the rights you have over your own data as a player on the platform.
1. Introduction
bk188 operates an online gaming platform accessible to adult players in Bangladesh. In the course of providing our services — which include cricket betting, live casino, slots, Teen Patti, crash games, and customer support — we collect and process certain personal data about the players who use the platform. This Privacy Policy is intended to give you a clear and complete understanding of what data we collect, why we collect it, how long we keep it, and who we may share it with.
By registering an account with bk188 or by continuing to use the platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and that you consent to the collection and processing of your personal data as described herein. If you do not agree with any part of this Policy, you should not use the platform and should contact our support team to arrange account closure.
Note: This Privacy Policy forms part of the bk188 Terms and Conditions. Defined terms used in this Policy have the same meaning as in the Terms and Conditions unless otherwise stated.
2. Information We Collect
bk188 collects personal data through several means: information you provide directly when you register and use the platform; information generated automatically when you interact with the platform; and, in limited circumstances, information received from third-party service providers. The categories of data we collect are set out below.

Transaction and Gaming History
bk188 maintains records of all financial transactions associated with your account, including deposits, withdrawals, bonus claims, and wagering activity. Gaming history — the record of bets placed, games played, outcomes, and session durations — is also recorded and retained. This data is used for account management, fraud prevention, responsible gaming monitoring, and regulatory compliance purposes.
3. How We Use Your Information
bk188 uses the personal data it collects for specific, defined purposes. We do not use personal data in ways that are incompatible with the purposes for which it was originally collected. The primary purposes for which we process your data are:
- To create and manage your account on the bk188 platform, including processing your registration, verifying your identity (KYC), and maintaining your account in good standing.
- To process deposits and withdrawals through bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Visa, Mastercard, and any other approved payment methods, and to maintain accurate financial records of all transactions.
- To detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent activity, account abuse, money laundering, underage gambling, and other prohibited conduct as defined in the bk188 Terms and Conditions.
- To provide customer support, respond to queries and complaints, and resolve disputes related to your account, transactions, or game outcomes.
- To monitor gaming activity for responsible gaming purposes, including identifying patterns consistent with problem gambling and applying deposit limits or self-exclusion measures where appropriate.
- To send you service-related communications, including transaction confirmations, security alerts, account notifications, and updates to our Terms and Conditions or Privacy Policy.
- To improve the bk188 platform by analysing usage data, identifying technical issues, and developing features that better serve players in Bangladesh.
bk188 does not use personal data for unsolicited third-party marketing, does not sell player data to advertisers, and does not build player profiles for sale to data brokers.
4. Legal Basis for Processing
bk188 processes personal data on the basis of one or more of the following legal grounds, depending on the specific processing activity:
- Contract performance: processing necessary to provide the services you have requested by registering an account and using the platform, including account management, payment processing, and service delivery.
- Legitimate interests: processing necessary for purposes that are in the legitimate interests of bk188 or third parties, including fraud detection, security, platform improvement, and responsible gaming monitoring, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights.
- Consent: processing carried out on the basis of your freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent, such as sending you marketing communications about promotions and bonuses. You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting support.
- Legal obligation: processing necessary to comply with applicable laws, including anti-money laundering requirements, age verification obligations, and any regulatory requirements applicable to online gaming services accessible in Bangladesh.
5. Sharing Your Information
bk188 does not sell, rent, or trade personal data. We may share your personal data with third parties only in the limited circumstances described below:
- Payment processors: bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Visa, and Mastercard receive transaction data necessary to process your deposits and withdrawals. Each processor handles your data in accordance with their own privacy terms.
- Game studios and platform providers: third-party game providers such as Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, Microgaming, NetEnt, Spribe, and Ezugi may receive session and wagering data necessary to deliver their games and settle game outcomes.
- Fraud and compliance services: we may share data with third-party identity verification, fraud detection, and KYC service providers who assist us in meeting our obligations to prevent fraud and underage gambling.
- Legal authorities: we may disclose personal data to law enforcement, regulatory bodies, or courts where we are legally required to do so, or where disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of bk188, its players, or the public.
No sale of data: bk188 has never sold and will never sell personal data to third-party advertisers, data brokers, or marketing platforms. Player data is used solely to operate the platform and deliver the services described in this Policy.
6. Payment Data and Third-Party Processors
When you make a deposit or request a withdrawal using bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Visa, or Mastercard, bk188 transmits the transaction data necessary to complete the payment to the relevant processor. bk188 does not store full payment card numbers, mobile banking PINs, or any other sensitive authentication credentials. All payment data transmitted between bk188 and payment processors is encrypted using SSL.
Each payment processor — including bKash, Nagad, and card networks — has its own privacy policy governing how they handle transaction and personal data. bk188 recommends that you review the privacy terms of any payment service you use. Links to relevant processors' privacy terms are available in the FAQ section of the platform.
7. Data Retention
bk188 retains personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, subject to any longer retention period required by applicable law. In general, account data and transaction records are retained for a minimum of five years from the date of account closure or the date of the last transaction, whichever is later. This retention period reflects standard requirements for financial record-keeping and anti-money laundering compliance.
Gaming history and session logs are retained for a minimum of two years from the date of the relevant session. Data collected for fraud investigation purposes may be retained for longer periods where required by the nature of the investigation. When data is no longer required to be retained, it is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to any identifiable individual.
8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
bk188 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate and improve the platform. The types of cookies we use are:
- Essential cookies: required for the platform to function. These include session cookies that keep you logged in during your visit and security cookies that help prevent unauthorised access. These cookies cannot be disabled without breaking core platform functionality.

- Preference cookies: used to remember your settings and preferences, such as language preference and display settings, so you do not need to re-enter them each time you visit the platform.
You can manage or disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the bk188 platform. Continuing to use the platform after being informed of our cookie use constitutes your consent to the use of cookies as described in this Policy.
