298bet Privacy Policy

1. Data Controller

298bet operates the online casino and sports betting platform accessible at 298bet.bio. As the entity responsible for determining how and why your personal data is processed, 298bet acts as the data controller in respect of all personal data collected through the platform. Any questions regarding this Privacy Policy or the handling of your data should be directed to [email protected].

2. Legal Basis for Processing

298bet processes your personal data on the following legal grounds:

• Contractual necessity — processing required to create and maintain your account, process deposits and withdrawals, and deliver the gaming services you have requested.
• Legal obligation — processing required to comply with applicable anti-money-laundering regulations, identity verification obligations, and financial record-keeping requirements.
• Legitimate interests — processing necessary for fraud prevention, platform security, abuse detection, and internal analytics to improve the quality of the 298bet service.
• Consent — processing of your data for marketing and promotional communications, where you have explicitly opted in or have not opted out at the time of registration.

3. How 298bet Uses Your Personal Data

298bet uses the personal data it collects for the following specific purposes:

• Creating and managing your player account, including verifying your identity and age before allowing any real-money activity.
• Processing deposits and withdrawals through your chosen payment method (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, bank transfer, or card), and maintaining accurate transaction records.
• Detecting and preventing fraud, money laundering, bonus abuse, multi-accounting, and other prohibited conduct outlined in the 298bet Terms & Conditions.
• Providing customer support, responding to enquiries, and resolving disputes in a fair and timely manner.
• Enforcing responsible gaming restrictions you have set, including deposit limits, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion arrangements.
• Sending transactional messages such as deposit confirmations, withdrawal notifications, security alerts, and account updates.
• Sending promotional communications about offers, bonuses, and new games — only where you have not opted out of such communications.
• Improving the 298bet platform through aggregated, anonymised analytics covering page performance, game popularity, and user navigation patterns.
• Complying with applicable legal and regulatory obligations, including responding to lawful requests from competent authorities.

4. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

298bet uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the platform correctly, remember your session state, and collect anonymous usage analytics. The categories of cookies used are as follows:

• Essential cookies — required for the platform to function. These cannot be disabled without breaking core site functionality such as login sessions and game loading.
• Analytics cookies — used to understand how players navigate the platform so that 298bet can improve page performance and game availability. Data collected is aggregated and anonymised.
• Preference cookies — used to remember your language settings, display preferences, and responsible gaming choices between sessions.

You may manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies will prevent you from logging into or using the 298bet platform. Disabling analytics or preference cookies will not affect your ability to play but may result in a less personalised experience.

5. Sharing Your Personal Data

298bet does not sell your personal data to any third party under any circumstances. 298bet may share your data with the following categories of recipients only where strictly necessary:

• Payment processors — mobile wallet operators (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay) and banking partners receive transaction data required to complete deposits and withdrawals. These processors act under their own privacy policies and are independently responsible for data they hold.
• Identity verification providers — third-party KYC service providers that assist 298bet in verifying your identity and age. These providers receive only the minimum data necessary for verification purposes and are bound by confidentiality obligations.
• Game content providers — software studios such as Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, Spribe, and Ezugi operate game servers that process certain in-game session data. No financial or identity data is shared with game studios beyond what is technically required to run the game session.
• Legal and regulatory authorities — competent authorities, law enforcement agencies, or courts may receive data where 298bet is legally required to disclose it. 298bet will only comply with lawful, documented requests.
• Fraud prevention services — anonymised or pseudonymised data may be shared with industry fraud-prevention databases to identify and block fraudulent activity patterns across the platform.

6. Data Retention

298bet retains personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. The following retention periods apply:

• Account and identity data — retained for the duration of your active account and for a minimum of five years following account closure, in line with standard anti-money-laundering record-keeping obligations.
• Transaction records — retained for a minimum of five years from the date of each transaction.
• KYC documentation — retained for a minimum of five years from the date of submission or the date of account closure, whichever is later.
• Support correspondence — retained for three years from the date of the last message in any given support thread.
• Analytics and technical data — anonymised after 13 months and retained in aggregate form indefinitely for platform improvement purposes.
• Responsible gaming records — self-exclusion and cooling-off records are retained for the full term of the restriction and for three years thereafter to prevent re-registration in breach of the exclusion.

Upon expiry of the relevant retention period, personal data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised. Data subject to an ongoing legal dispute or regulatory inquiry will be retained until the matter is fully resolved, regardless of the standard retention period.

7. Data Security

298bet implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include:

• 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data in transit between your device and the 298bet platform.
• Encryption at rest for sensitive data fields including identity documents, payment references, and KYC records.
• Role-based access controls ensuring that 298bet staff can only access the minimum personal data necessary for their specific duties.
• Regular internal security audits and vulnerability assessments of the platform infrastructure.
• Multi-factor authentication requirements for administrative access to systems that hold player data.
• Incident response procedures that require 298bet to notify affected players without undue delay in the event of a data breach that poses a risk to their rights and interests.

While 298bet takes all reasonable precautions, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping your account login credentials confidential and for notifying 298bet immediately at [email protected] if you suspect any unauthorised access to your account.

8. Minors & Age Restriction

298bet's platform is strictly for individuals aged 21 and above. 298bet does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 21. If 298bet becomes aware that a registered account belongs to a person under 21, the account will be immediately closed, the identity data will be retained solely for the purpose of preventing re-registration, and any deposited funds will be returned to the original payment method. If you believe a person under 21 has registered on the platform, please report this to [email protected] promptly.

9. Your Data Rights

As a 298bet player, you hold the following rights in relation to your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, submit a written request to [email protected] from the email address registered to your account. 298bet will respond within 30 days and may request identity verification before processing your request.

• Right of access — request a copy of all personal data 298bet holds about you.
• Right to rectification — request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.

• Right to object — object to processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interests, including profiling for fraud-prevention purposes.
