ph233 is committed to protecting the personal information of every Filipino player who uses our platform. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, how it is used and stored, who it may be shared with, and the rights you hold over your own information under Philippine law.
These cards summarise the core principles that guide how ph233 handles your personal data. They complement — and do not replace — the full policy text that follows. Please read the complete document for the detail that governs your rights and our obligations.
ph233 processes all personal data in accordance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations. Your data rights under Philippine law are fully recognised and respected by ph233 at every stage of the data lifecycle.
ph233 applies the principle of data minimisation: we collect only the personal information that is necessary for the specific, legitimate purposes described in this Policy. We do not collect data speculatively or for purposes that have not been disclosed to you at or before the time of collection.
ph233 does not sell, rent, or commercially trade your personal information to any third party for their own marketing purposes. Data is shared with third parties only where necessary to deliver the ph233 service, comply with legal obligations, or meet PAGCOR regulatory requirements — and only as described in this Policy.
All personal data transmitted to and from ph233 is encrypted using industry-standard SSL/TLS protocols. Data stored on ph233 systems is subject to technical and organisational security measures designed to prevent unauthorised access, disclosure, loss, or destruction.
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act, you have the right to be informed about how your data is processed, the right to access your personal data, the right to correct inaccurate data, the right to object to processing, and — in certain circumstances — the right to erasure of your personal data.
As a PAGCOR-regulated platform, ph233 has mandatory data collection and retention obligations that cannot be waived by individual consent. These include KYC identity records, transaction logs, and responsible gaming data required for regulatory audit and anti-money laundering compliance.
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how ph233 ("ph233," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects the personal information of individuals who register accounts on, visit, or otherwise interact with the ph233 online casino platform accessible at ph233.org (the "Platform").
This Policy applies to all personal data processed by ph233 in connection with the provision of its online casino, sports betting, and associated services to registered players in the Philippines. It covers data collected through the ph233 website, mobile platform, customer support channels, and any other touchpoints through which you interact with ph233.
This Policy is to be read in conjunction with the ph233 Terms and Conditions and the Responsible Gaming Policy. Together, these documents govern the relationship between ph233 and its registered users. By creating a ph233 account or continuing to use the Platform after any update to this Policy, you acknowledge that you have read and understood its contents.
This Policy is governed by the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) ("DPA") and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, as well as applicable PAGCOR regulatory requirements relating to player data management and retention.
For the purposes of the Philippine Data Privacy Act, ph233 is the Personal Information Controller ("PIC") in respect of the personal data of registered users of the ph233 Platform. As PIC, ph233 is responsible for determining the purposes and means of processing your personal information.
ph233 has appointed a Data Protection Officer ("DPO") responsible for overseeing this Policy and ph233's data protection practices in compliance with the DPA. For data-related queries or the exercise of your data subject rights, you may contact the ph233 DPO through the customer support channels described in Section 15 of this Policy.
Where ph233 engages third-party service providers to process personal data on its behalf, those providers act as Personal Information Processors ("PIPs") and are contractually required to process data only as instructed by ph233 and in accordance with applicable data protection law.
ph233 collects and processes the following categories of personal data about registered users and Platform visitors:
| Category | Examples of Data Collected | When Collected |
|---|---|---|
| Identity Data | Full legal name, date of birth, nationality, government ID number and document type | Registration; KYC verification |
| Contact Data | Philippine mobile number, email address | Registration |
| KYC Documents | Government ID images (PhilSys, UMID, driver's license, passport, voter's ID); proof of address documents | KYC verification process |
| Financial Data | GCash or Maya account details (masked), BPI/BDO/Metrobank account reference, deposit and withdrawal history | Deposits and withdrawals |
| Gaming Activity Data | Game sessions, wager amounts, wins and losses, game types played, session durations, RTP data | Ongoing use of the Platform |
| Responsible Gaming Data | Self-exclusion status, deposit limits set, cooling-off periods, session alerts, problem gambling referral history | Account settings; support interactions |
| Technical Data | IP address, device type and OS, browser type, login timestamps, session IDs | Automatically on Platform access |
| Communications Data | Live chat transcripts, email correspondence, support ticket content, SMS interaction records | Customer support interactions |
ph233 does not intentionally collect sensitive personal information (as defined under the DPA) beyond what is strictly required for identity verification, age verification, and regulatory compliance. Where sensitive data is collected for these purposes, it is processed under the applicable lawful basis and is subject to enhanced security controls.
ph233 collects personal data through the following means:
Data you provide directly to ph233 during account registration, the KYC identity verification process, deposit and withdrawal transactions, customer support interactions, and responses to surveys or promotional activities.
Data collected automatically when you access the ph233 Platform, including technical data such as your IP address, device identifiers, browser type, operating system, session activity logs, and referral source. This data is collected through server logs, session management systems, and cookies as described in Section 8.
In certain circumstances, ph233 may receive data about you from third parties including:
ph233 processes your personal data on one or more of the following legal bases as provided under the Philippine Data Privacy Act:
Note on regulatory data: Certain personal data — particularly KYC identity records, gaming transaction logs, and AML-related documentation — must be collected and retained by ph233 as a matter of PAGCOR regulatory obligation and Philippine anti-money laundering law, regardless of individual consent. Withdrawal of consent does not affect data that ph233 is legally required to retain.
ph233 uses the personal data it collects for the following purposes:
ph233 does not sell your personal data. Your data may be shared with the following categories of third parties only where necessary and for the specific purposes identified:
GCash, Maya, GrabPay, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, and other payment partners receive the transaction data necessary to process your deposits and withdrawals. Payment processors are independently regulated and bound by their own privacy and security obligations.
Third-party game studios whose titles are available on ph233 (including Jili, PG Soft, Pragmatic Play, and others) may receive your user session data for the purpose of delivering game rounds, logging results, and resolving technical disputes. Game providers do not receive your KYC documents or full identity records.
ph233 may engage third-party identity verification specialists to assist with processing government ID documents submitted during the KYC process. These providers act as processors under ph233's instruction and are contractually bound to process data solely for verification purposes.
ph233 may be required to disclose personal data — including identity records, gaming activity data, and financial transaction records — to PAGCOR, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), the National Privacy Commission (NPC), or other competent Philippine government authorities, where such disclosure is required by law or regulatory order.
ph233 may share data with legal, accounting, or compliance advisers where necessary to obtain professional advice, provided that such advisers are bound by professional confidentiality obligations.
All third-party processors engaged by ph233 are required to enter into data processing agreements that obligate them to process your data only in accordance with ph233's instructions and applicable Philippine data protection law. ph233 remains responsible for data processing by its authorised processors.
ph233 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the Platform to support core functionality, analyse usage patterns, and — where consent has been given — deliver personalised content. The following types of cookies are used:
You may manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling non-essential cookies will not prevent you from using the ph233 Platform but may affect some personalisation features. Note that strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled as they are essential for Platform operation.
ph233 retains your personal data for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, subject to the following specific retention obligations:
Following the expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with ph233's data destruction procedures. Where data has been anonymised (rendering it impossible to re-identify), it may be retained indefinitely for analytical purposes.
ph233 implements appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, alteration, and unlawful processing. These measures include:
No method of data transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While ph233 applies robust security practices, we cannot guarantee absolute security against all possible threats. In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to the rights of affected individuals, ph233 will notify the National Privacy Commission and affected users as required under the DPA.
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act, you have the following rights in respect of your personal data held by ph233. These rights may be exercised by contacting ph233's Data Protection Officer through the channels described in Section 15.
You have the right to be informed that your personal data is being or will be collected and processed, and to know the details of that processing including its purposes, scope, and the identity of the parties who will receive your data.
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data ph233 holds about you, along with information about how it is being used and the legal basis for its processing.
You have the right to request that any inaccurate personal data ph233 holds about you be corrected without undue delay. Some rectifications may require identity re-verification.
You have the right to request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to ph233's legal retention obligations which take precedence.
You have the right to object to ph233 processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes at any time. You may also object to processing based on legitimate interests on grounds relating to your particular situation.
You have the right to be indemnified for any damages sustained due to inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, false, unlawfully obtained, or unauthorised use of your personal data by ph233.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact ph233 through the customer support channels described in Section 15. ph233 will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe consistent with the DPA's requirements. We may need to verify your identity before processing a data subject request.
If you are not satisfied with ph233's handling of a data subject request or if you believe your data protection rights have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines.
Where you have consented to receive marketing communications from ph233 — including promotional SMS messages and email newsletters about bonuses, new games, and platform updates — you may withdraw that consent at any time.
To opt out of marketing communications from ph233, you may:
Opting out of marketing communications will not affect the delivery of service-essential communications, such as transaction confirmations, account security alerts, OTP messages, and regulatory notifications, which ph233 is required to send regardless of marketing preferences.
Please allow up to 5 business days for opt-out requests to take full effect across all ph233 communication channels.
The ph233 Platform is strictly for individuals who are 21 years of age or older. ph233 does not knowingly collect personal data from persons under the age of 21. The ph233 account registration process includes age declaration and is subject to mandatory KYC age verification using government-issued identification.
In the event that ph233 discovers that personal data has been collected from an individual who is under the age of 21, we will immediately suspend the associated account, cease processing the data, and delete the personal information in question as soon as reasonably practicable, consistent with any applicable regulatory obligations.
If you are the parent or guardian of a person under 21 and you believe that person may have submitted personal data to ph233, please contact us immediately through the channels in Section 15.
ph233 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, updates to applicable Philippine law or PAGCOR requirements, or for other operational or legal reasons.
When we make material changes to this Policy, we will notify registered users by email to the address on file and/or by posting a prominent notice on the ph233 Platform. The updated Policy will clearly state the new effective date at the top of the document.
Your continued use of the ph233 Platform after the effective date of an updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acknowledgement of the changes. If you do not agree with any updated provisions, you should cease using the Platform and may request account closure through ph233 customer support.
For any questions about this Privacy Policy, to exercise your data subject rights, or to raise a privacy complaint, please contact ph233 through the following channels:
ph233 will acknowledge privacy requests within 3 business days of receipt and will respond substantively within a reasonable timeframe consistent with the DPA's requirements. Complex requests — such as large data access requests or erasure requests involving regulatory data — may require additional time, and we will keep you informed of progress.
If you are not satisfied with ph233's response to a privacy complaint or data subject request, you have the right to escalate your complaint to the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines, which is the competent supervisory authority for data protection matters in the Philippines.
