At y88i, your privacy is not an afterthought — it is a core commitment. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and the rights you hold as a y88i player based in Pakistan or elsewhere.
Before you read the full policy, here is a plain-English summary of how y88i handles your personal information — and what that means for you as a player.
y88i collects only the personal data that is strictly necessary to provide our Services, meet regulatory KYC obligations, and process your transactions. We do not collect data speculatively or for purposes beyond those clearly described in this policy.
y88i does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third-party marketers or data brokers under any circumstances. Your information is shared only with trusted service partners who are contractually obligated to protect it — and only to the extent necessary.
All data transmitted between your device and y88i servers is protected by TLS encryption. Sensitive account data including passwords and payment details are stored using industry-standard hashing and encryption protocols. Access to personal data is restricted to authorised personnel only.
You have the right to access, correct, export, and request deletion of your personal data at any time. y88i provides a clear process for exercising these rights, and we commit to responding within the timeframes set out in this policy — no runaround, no stonewalling.
y88i recognises that our primary player base is in Pakistan — Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Faisalabad, and beyond. Our data practices are designed with Pakistani-English users in mind, and we use locally relevant payment methods including JazzCash and EasyPaisa which carry their own privacy considerations we address transparently.
Whenever this Privacy Policy is materially updated, y88i will notify registered players via their registered email address and publish the revised policy with a clear effective date. We do not make silent changes that affect your rights without disclosure.
Please Read Carefully: This Privacy Policy governs the collection and processing of personal data by y88i across all its Services — including the website at y88i.net, mobile-optimised platform, customer support channels, and any promotional communications. By registering an account or using any y88i Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.
For the purposes of applicable data protection legislation, y88i acts as the data controller in respect of the personal data of registered players and website visitors. "Data controller" means the entity that determines the purposes and means of processing your personal data.
y88i operates the Platform at https://y88i.net under an international gaming licence. All enquiries relating to this Privacy Policy or your personal data should be directed to the y88i Data Privacy team via the contact details set out in Section 14 of this policy.
Where y88i engages third-party service providers — such as payment processors (JazzCash, EasyPaisa), KYC verification providers, or game content suppliers — those parties act as data processors on y88i's behalf and are bound by contractual obligations consistent with this policy.
y88i collects personal data through multiple touchpoints across the player lifecycle. The categories of data we collect are set out in the table below:
| Category | Specific Data Points | Collection Method |
|---|---|---|
| Identity Data | Full legal name, date of birth, CNIC number or passport number, nationality | Registration form; KYC document upload |
| Contact Data | Email address, mobile phone number, residential address (city, province, postal code) | Registration form; account settings updates |
| Financial Data | JazzCash / EasyPaisa mobile number, bank account details (UBL, HBL, Meezan), USDT wallet address, transaction history | Payment processing; cashier interactions |
| Account & Activity Data | Username, login history, session durations, betting history, game preferences, balance history, bonus claims | Automatic platform logging |
| Technical Data | IP address, device type, browser type and version, operating system, screen resolution, device fingerprint | Automatic collection via cookies and server logs |
| Communications Data | Live chat transcripts, email correspondence, support ticket contents | Customer support interactions |
| Preference Data | Responsible gaming limit settings, marketing opt-in/opt-out status, language and currency preferences | Account settings; preference centre |
The majority of personal data we hold about you is provided directly by you — when you register an account, complete KYC verification, make a deposit or withdrawal, contact customer support, or update your account preferences. Providing this data is either a contractual necessity (e.g., identity verification before withdrawals) or a requirement to receive specific services (e.g., marketing communications).
When you access y88i, certain technical data is collected automatically by our servers and analytics systems. This includes your IP address, device identifiers, and behavioural data such as pages visited and time spent in session. This data is used primarily for platform security, fraud prevention, and service improvement purposes.
y88i processes your personal data only where a valid lawful basis exists under applicable data protection law. The lawful bases we rely upon are as follows:
y88i uses your personal data for the following purposes, each of which is tied to a specific lawful basis described in Section 3:
y88i does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We share personal data with third parties only in the following limited circumstances, and only to the extent strictly necessary for the stated purpose:
To process deposits and withdrawals, y88i shares relevant financial and identity data with payment providers including JazzCash, EasyPaisa, Raast, 1LINK, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, Visa/Mastercard processing networks, and USDT infrastructure providers. Each payment partner operates under its own privacy policy and processes your data as an independent data controller for the purposes of executing your transactions.
To fulfil our age and identity verification obligations, y88i may share your identity documents and personal data with licensed third-party KYC verification service providers. These providers are contractually bound to process your data solely for verification purposes and to maintain appropriate security standards.
Certain casino and slot games on y88i are provided by third-party game suppliers. These suppliers may receive session data and bet history to the extent required for game operation and fairness auditing. Game suppliers do not receive your financial or full identity data.
y88i will disclose your personal data to regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or courts where required to do so by applicable law, court order, or under the terms of y88i's gaming licence. Such disclosures are made only to the extent required and in compliance with applicable legal process.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of y88i's business or assets, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction. In such circumstances, y88i will notify affected players and ensure that the receiving entity is bound by privacy obligations consistent with this policy.
y88i never shares your personal data with third-party advertisers, data brokers, social media platforms, or marketing agencies. Marketing communications sent by y88i are generated and delivered by y88i directly without involvement of external list brokers.
y88i retains your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law and our gaming licence obligations. The key retention periods applicable to y88i player data are as follows:
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, y88i will securely delete or anonymise your personal data in a manner that prevents reconstruction or identification.
y88i 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:
While y88i takes all reasonable steps to protect your data, no internet transmission or electronic storage method is 100% secure. You are responsible for keeping your own login credentials confidential. If you suspect your account has been compromised, contact y88i support immediately via live chat.
As a y88i player, you hold the following rights in respect of your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, please contact the y88i Data Privacy team using the details in Section 14. y88i will respond to all valid data subject requests within thirty (30) calendar days.
Request a copy of all personal data y88i holds about you, along with information on how it is being processed.
Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data held about you. Some corrections may require supporting documentation.
Request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected, subject to legal retention obligations.
Request that y88i restricts processing of your data in certain circumstances — for example, while a rectification request is being assessed.
Receive a structured, machine-readable copy of personal data you have provided to y88i, for transfer to another service provider where technically feasible.
Object to processing of your data based on legitimate interests — particularly for direct marketing, which y88i will cease immediately upon receipt of a valid objection.
Important Limitation: Certain data rights — particularly erasure — may be limited where y88i is required to retain your data to comply with AML regulations, gaming licence obligations, or to resolve an ongoing dispute. In such cases, y88i will explain the specific legal basis for retaining the data and provide an estimated retention end date.
21+ Strictly Enforced: y88i Services are restricted to individuals aged 21 years and above. y88i does not knowingly collect or process personal data belonging to persons under the age of 21. If y88i discovers or has reasonable grounds to suspect that a player is under 21, the account will be immediately suspended, all funds will be frozen pending investigation, and the matter will be handled in accordance with y88i's responsible gaming and regulatory obligations.
Parents and guardians in Pakistan are strongly encouraged to use parental control software to prevent minors from accessing online gambling platforms, including y88i. Free parental control tools are available through major internet service providers and mobile network operators, including those operating in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad.
If you believe a minor has registered on y88i or accessed the Platform, please contact y88i support immediately. y88i will investigate all such reports promptly and take appropriate action.
y88i operates under an international gaming licence and may process or store personal data on servers located outside Pakistan. Where personal data is transferred internationally, y88i ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to maintain a level of protection equivalent to the standards described in this Privacy Policy.
Such safeguards include contractual data processing agreements with data processors that incorporate appropriate data protection obligations. y88i does not transfer personal data to jurisdictions that lack adequate protections without such contractual safeguards in place.
For specific information about the jurisdictions in which y88i's data infrastructure operates, please contact the Data Privacy team using the contact details in Section 14.
y88i treats your financial data with the highest level of care. Specific points relating to payment data privacy are as follows:
When you deposit or withdraw using JazzCash or EasyPaisa, y88i shares your mobile number and transaction reference with the respective payment provider to complete the transaction. JazzCash and EasyPaisa are independent data controllers for the data they process on their own platforms. y88i recommends reviewing JazzCash's and EasyPaisa's respective privacy policies to understand how they handle your data.
For deposits and withdrawals via HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, or other bank transfer channels, y88i processes your account title and IBAN solely for the purpose of executing the transaction. This data is not retained beyond the period required for the transaction record and applicable regulatory retention obligations.
For USDT transactions, y88i records your wallet address for transaction completion and AML compliance purposes. Cryptocurrency transactions are by nature recorded on public blockchain ledgers; y88i has no control over the data visibility on public blockchain networks.
y88i does not store full card numbers, CVV codes, or card expiry dates on its own systems. Card payment processing is handled by PCI-DSS compliant payment gateways. y88i retains only a tokenised card reference for the purpose of processing refunds to the original payment method.
y88i reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. When material changes are made — meaning changes that affect your rights, the categories of data we collect, or the purposes for which we process your data — y88i will:
Minor clarifications or administrative amendments that do not affect your rights may be made without direct notification, though the policy page will always reflect the current version with the correct effective date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
