At y988, your privacy is not an afterthought — it is a fundamental part of how we build and operate Pakistan's leading crypto-friendly casino and sportsbook. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how we protect it, and what your rights are as a y988 player.
Last Updated: January 2026Our Privacy Commitments
These six principles summarise how y988 approaches data privacy for every registered player. Read the full policy sections below for complete legal detail.
All personal data stored on the y988 platform is protected using industry-standard AES-256 encryption at rest. Sensitive fields such as payment details and identity documents are stored in isolated, access-controlled vaults. Your information is never written to unencrypted storage at any point in our infrastructure pipeline.
y988 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for marketing purposes — full stop. Data shared with third-party service providers (such as payment processors and KYC verification partners) is shared only to the minimum extent required to deliver y988 services and is governed by binding data processing agreements.
y988 supports USDT TRC-20, USDT ERC-20, and Bitcoin deposits, which offer Pakistani players a greater degree of transaction privacy compared to traditional banking channels. Crypto transactions are processed on-chain and are not stored alongside your personal banking details within the y988 account system.
y988 only collects the personal data that is strictly necessary for account registration, identity verification, regulatory compliance, and fraud prevention. We do not collect data we do not need. If a data field is optional during registration, it remains optional and declining to provide it will not affect your access to core y988 platform features.
Access to your personal data within y988's internal systems is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. Only verified y988 staff with a legitimate operational purpose may access player records. All internal data access is logged and audited. Employees who violate data access protocols are subject to immediate disciplinary action and termination.
Every y988 player has the right to access, correct, export, and request deletion of their personal data. y988 provides a clear, accessible process for exercising all data rights — simply contact our support team via live chat or email. We will acknowledge your request within 72 hours and resolve it within 30 calendar days.
Plain Language Notice: This Privacy Policy is a legally binding document that describes how y988 handles your personal data. We have written it in clear English to make it accessible to our Pakistani player community. If you have any questions about any section, our support team is available 24/7 via live chat within the y988 platform.
y988 ("we", "us", "our", "the Platform") is an internationally licensed online gaming platform operating at y988.club. y988 provides online casino games, live dealer tables, and a sportsbook to eligible users worldwide, including Pakistani players who access the service in accordance with their own personal legal context and responsibility.
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, y988 is the data controller in respect of all personal data collected from users of the y988 platform. As data controller, y988 determines the purposes and means of processing your personal data and is responsible for ensuring that processing is carried out in a lawful, fair, and transparent manner.
This Privacy Policy applies to all visitors and registered users of the y988 website and mobile platform, regardless of the device or method used to access the service. By creating a y988 account or using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and consent to the data processing activities described herein.
Your Trust Matters: y988 is built on the trust of Pakistani players from Karachi to Lahore, Islamabad to Faisalabad. Protecting that trust means handling your personal data with the care and transparency it deserves. We treat privacy as a core operational responsibility, not merely a legal checkbox.
y988 collects personal data through several channels: directly from you during registration and account management; automatically through your use of the Platform; and occasionally from trusted third-party identity verification and fraud prevention providers. The categories of data we collect are set out below.
| Data Category | Examples | Collection Method |
|---|---|---|
| Identity Data | Full legal name, date of birth, nationality, gender | Registration form; KYC verification |
| Contact Data | Email address, phone number, residential address | Registration form; account settings |
| Identity Documents | CNIC copy, passport scan, proof of address | KYC verification process |
| Financial Data | JazzCash/EasyPaisa account reference, USDT wallet address, transaction history | Cashier; deposit/withdrawal operations |
| Gaming Activity Data | Bet history, game sessions, win/loss records, bonus usage | Automated platform logging |
| Technical Data | IP address, browser type, device identifiers, operating system | Automated collection via cookies and server logs |
| Behavioural Data | Pages visited, click patterns, session duration, feature usage | Cookies and analytics tools |
| Communications Data | Live chat transcripts, support emails, feedback submissions | Customer support interactions |
y988 does not intentionally collect sensitive special-category data such as racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, political opinions, health data, or biometric data beyond what is strictly required for identity document verification under applicable KYC obligations.
Underage Users: y988 is a strictly 21+ platform. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. If we become aware that data has been collected from an underage user, that account will be immediately closed and all associated data deleted or anonymised. If you believe an underage person has registered at y988, please notify us immediately at [email protected].
y988 uses your personal data exclusively for the purposes set out in this section. We do not use your data for any purpose that is incompatible with the original purpose of collection without first obtaining your explicit consent or establishing a separate lawful basis for processing.
y988 processes your personal data only where a valid legal basis exists for doing so. Depending on the specific processing activity, the applicable legal basis will be one or more of the following:
Consent Withdrawal: Withdrawing marketing consent will not affect your ability to use any y988 platform feature. You can manage all communication preferences directly from your account settings panel after completing the y988 Login.
y988 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We share data only in the following limited and controlled circumstances:
No Third-Party Marketing: y988 will never share your personal data with third parties for their own marketing purposes. You will not receive unsolicited marketing from third parties as a result of using the y988 platform.
The y988 platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate core platform functionality, remember your preferences, analyse usage patterns, and (where you have consented) serve relevant promotional content. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by the y988 web server.
The cookies used by y988 fall into the following categories:
Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that refusing strictly necessary cookies will impair your ability to use the y988 platform. y988 honours browser-level Do Not Track (DNT) signals for non-essential tracking where technically feasible.
y988 retains personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to minimum retention periods imposed by applicable gaming licence conditions, AML regulations, and other legal obligations. The following general retention guidelines apply:
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, y988 will securely delete or irreversibly anonymise your personal data. Where anonymisation is not technically feasible, data will be securely destroyed in accordance with industry-standard data disposal procedures.
As a y988 player, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, contact the y988 support team via live chat or email at [email protected] with a clear description of your request. y988 will acknowledge your request within 72 hours and respond fully within 30 calendar days.
Request a copy of all personal data y988 holds about you, including the categories, purposes, and any third parties your data has been shared with.
Request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data y988 holds about you. Update your contact details directly from account settings at any time.
Request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes it was collected, subject to mandatory regulatory retention obligations.
Request that y988 limit processing of your data in certain circumstances — for example, while the accuracy of data you have disputed is under review.
Request a copy of data you provided to y988 in a structured, machine-readable format for transfer to another service provider where technically feasible.
Object to processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes at any time. You may also object to processing based on legitimate interests in specific circumstances.
y988 implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, alteration, or disclosure. Our security programme includes the following measures:
In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, y988 will notify affected players without undue delay — and in any event within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach. Notification will be provided via the email address registered on your account.
Your Role in Security: Security is a shared responsibility. y988 urges all Pakistani players to use a strong, unique password for their y988 account, enable 2FA, and never share their login credentials with any third party. If you suspect your account has been compromised, contact y988 support via live chat immediately.
y988 operates on a globally distributed infrastructure. As a result, your personal data may be processed and stored on servers located outside your country of residence, including in jurisdictions that may not have data protection laws equivalent to those in your home country.
Where y988 transfers personal data internationally, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data, including:
Pakistani players should note that by registering at y988 and using the Platform, you consent to the transfer of your personal data to y988's infrastructure locations as described in this section, subject always to the safeguards outlined above.
y988 operates a strict 21+ age policy. The y988 platform is not directed at, designed for, or intended to be used by any person under the age of 21. y988 does not knowingly collect, process, or retain personal data from individuals under the age of 21.
As part of the y988 registration and KYC process, all users are required to confirm their date of birth and, where requested, provide government-issued identity documentation verifying their age. y988 may request a valid Pakistani CNIC (Computerised National Identity Card), passport, or equivalent document to confirm that a user meets the 21+ age requirement.
If y988 becomes aware that it has inadvertently collected personal data from a person under the age of 21, the following steps will be taken immediately:
Report Underage Access: If you have reason to believe that a person under 21 has registered or is actively using a y988 account, please report this immediately by contacting our support team. y988 takes underage gambling extremely seriously and will act swiftly on any credible report.
y988 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable legal requirements, or the structure of our business. The date at the top of this page will be updated to reflect the date of the most recent revision.
Where changes to this Policy are material — meaning they significantly affect your rights or the way y988 processes your personal data — y988 will notify registered players by email to the address registered on their account, or by a prominent notice displayed upon next login to the y988 platform. Continued use of the y988 platform following notification of material changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
y988 recommends that all players review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your data. Archived versions of previous Privacy Policy iterations are available on request from our support team.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, wish to exercise any of your data rights, or have a concern about how y988 has handled your personal data, please contact our Data Protection team in the first instance:
If you are not satisfied with y988's response to your privacy concern, you have the right to escalate the matter to the data protection supervisory authority applicable in your jurisdiction, or to the gaming regulatory authority under whose licence y988 operates. y988 will cooperate fully with any such regulatory review.
We Are Here to Help: Our support team is available around the clock to assist Pakistani players with any privacy-related question — whether you are in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Faisalabad, or anywhere else in Pakistan. We take every privacy inquiry seriously and will always respond with transparency and care.
