ptgamin Privacy Policy — How We Collect, Use, and Protect Your Personal Data

ptgamin is an online casino and sports betting platform operating under PAGCOR's regulatory framework and serving players across the Philippines, including Metro Manila, Cebu, Davao, Quezon City, Makati, and beyond. In the course of providing our services — which include casino games, live dealer tables, slots, sports betting, bingo, and related activities — ptgamin collects and processes certain personal data about you.

This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data collected through the ptgamin website at ptgamin.net, through account registration and login processes, through the ptgamin customer support channels, and through payment transactions conducted via GCash, Maya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, 7-Eleven CLiQQ, USDT TRC20, Coins.ph, and other supported payment methods.

ptgamin operates in compliance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, as enforced by the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines. We additionally comply with data protection requirements imposed by PAGCOR as part of our regulatory obligations as a licensed gaming platform.

ptgamin collects personal data through several channels and at various points during your relationship with the platform. The categories of personal data we collect are described below.

2.1 Registration Data

When you create a ptgamin account, we collect the information you provide during the registration process, including your full legal name, date of birth, gender, residential address in the Philippines, email address, and mobile phone number. This information is required to create and manage your account and to verify your eligibility to use the platform.

2.2 Identity Verification (KYC) Data

As part of our PAGCOR compliance obligations, ptgamin may collect copies of government-issued identity documents such as a Philippine passport, SSS card, UMID, PhilSys National ID, or driver's licence. We may also collect proof of residential address, such as a utility bill or bank statement dated within the last three months. This data is collected for identity verification, age verification (confirming you are 21 years of age or older), and anti-money laundering due diligence purposes.

2.3 Financial & Transaction Data

ptgamin collects information about deposits and withdrawals made through your account, including payment method details (e-wallet account references, bank account names, and transaction reference numbers), transaction amounts in Philippine Peso (₱), timestamps, and transaction status. We do not store full card numbers or full bank account numbers on our servers.

2.4 Gaming Activity Data

We collect records of your wagering activity on the ptgamin platform, including game types played (slots, live tables, sports betting, bingo), wager amounts, outcomes, session durations, and bonus participation history. This data is used for account management, responsible gaming monitoring, and regulatory reporting purposes.

2.5 Technical & Device Data

When you access ptgamin, we automatically collect certain technical data, including your IP address, browser type and version, device type and operating system, referring URLs, pages visited within the platform, and session timestamps. This data is used for security monitoring, fraud detection, and platform performance optimisation.

2.6 Communications Data

If you contact ptgamin's support team via live chat or email at [email protected], we collect and retain records of those communications, including the content of messages, contact timestamps, and the nature of the enquiry. This data is used to resolve your support requests and to improve our customer service quality.

• Regulatory Compliance: Meeting our obligations under PAGCOR's licensing requirements, the Philippine AMLA framework, and other applicable Philippine laws, including the reporting of suspicious transactions where required.
• Responsible Gaming: Monitoring gaming activity to identify patterns that may indicate problematic gambling behaviour, and facilitating access to deposit limits, self-exclusion, and other responsible gaming tools available on the platform.

• Legal Claims: Establishing, exercising, or defending legal claims in connection with your use of the ptgamin platform where necessary.

Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, ptgamin must have a lawful basis for each category of personal data processing it undertakes. The legal bases upon which ptgamin relies are described below.

• Contractual Necessity: Processing your registration data, payment information, and gaming activity records is necessary for ptgamin to perform its contractual obligations to you under the Terms & Conditions you accepted when creating your account.
• Legal Obligation: Collecting and retaining KYC documents, AML transaction records, and regulatory reporting data is required by PAGCOR's licensing conditions, the Philippine AMLA, and other applicable Philippine laws. This processing occurs regardless of your consent.
• Legitimate Interests: ptgamin processes certain technical and device data, fraud detection signals, and communications data on the basis of its legitimate interests in maintaining platform security, preventing financial crime, and improving its services — provided such interests are not overridden by your privacy rights.
• Consent: Where ptgamin sends you direct marketing communications or uses non-essential cookies and tracking technologies, we rely on your freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent. You may withdraw this consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

ptgamin uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the ptgamin.net website and platform to ensure the site functions correctly, to maintain your login session, and to analyse platform usage. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website you visit.

5.1 Types of Cookies We Use

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the ptgamin platform to function and cannot be switched off. They include session authentication cookies that keep you logged in, security tokens, and load-balancing cookies. No consent is required for these cookies as they are necessary to deliver the service you have requested.
• Functional Cookies: These cookies allow ptgamin to remember your preferences — such as your chosen language, display settings, and responsible gaming tool configurations — to provide a more personalised experience on the platform.
• Analytics Cookies: ptgamin uses aggregated analytics data to understand how Filipino players interact with the platform, which pages are most visited, and where technical improvements are needed. These cookies do not identify you individually.
• Marketing & Preference Cookies: With your consent, ptgamin may use cookies to track which promotions and offers you have been shown, to avoid showing you the same promotional content repeatedly, and to deliver relevant bonus offers based on your gaming preferences.

5.2 Managing Cookies

You can manage or disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings at any time. Most modern browsers — including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge — allow you to block or delete cookies via their privacy or settings menus. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in to and using the ptgamin platform. Disabling functional cookies may result in a degraded platform experience where your preferences are not retained between sessions.

ptgamin does not sell your personal data to third parties. We share personal data only in the limited circumstances described below, and only to the extent necessary for the stated purpose.

6.1 PAGCOR and Philippine Regulatory Authorities

As a PAGCOR-licensed platform, ptgamin is required to share certain player data and gaming activity records with PAGCOR upon request, and to submit regulatory reports as required by our licensing conditions. We may also be required to disclose personal data to the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), the National Privacy Commission (NPC), law enforcement agencies, or other Philippine government authorities where required by law or a valid legal order.

6.2 Payment Service Providers

To process deposits and withdrawals, ptgamin shares necessary transaction data with your chosen payment service provider — such as GCash, Maya (formerly PayMaya), BPI, BDO, Metrobank, 7-Eleven CLiQQ, or Coins.ph. The data shared is limited to what is required to process the specific transaction. Each payment provider operates under its own privacy policy, and we encourage you to review the privacy practices of your chosen payment method.

6.3 Technology & Service Providers

ptgamin engages trusted third-party technology and service providers to assist in operating the platform. These may include game software providers, cloud hosting providers, fraud detection and security vendors, and customer support platform providers. All such providers are bound by contractual data processing agreements that prohibit them from using your data for any purpose other than providing services to ptgamin, and require them to maintain appropriate data security standards.

6.4 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of all or part of ptgamin's business, personal data held by ptgamin may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction. In such circumstances, ptgamin will notify registered players via their registered email address and will ensure that the acquiring entity is bound by privacy obligations at least equivalent to those described in this Policy.

ptgamin retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including our legal, regulatory, and compliance obligations. The general retention periods applicable to the categories of data we collect are outlined below.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, ptgamin will securely delete or anonymise your personal data so that it can no longer be linked back to you as an individual. Where anonymisation is used in place of deletion, the anonymised data may be retained for statistical and analytical purposes without limitation.

ptgamin implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include the following:

• Encryption in Transit: All data transmitted between your device and the ptgamin platform is encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.2 or higher). This protects your login credentials, payment information, and personal data as it travels across the internet.
• Encryption at Rest: Sensitive personal data stored in ptgamin's databases — including KYC documents and financial records — is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption standards.
• Access Controls: Access to personal data within ptgamin's internal systems is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. Only authorised personnel with a legitimate operational need are permitted to access player data, and all access is logged and auditable.
• Two-Factor Authentication: ptgamin supports two-factor authentication (2FA) for player accounts and requires it for internal administrative access to systems containing personal data.
• Intrusion Detection: ptgamin operates continuous security monitoring and intrusion detection systems to identify and respond to unauthorised access attempts or anomalous activity on the platform.
• Vendor Security Standards: All third-party service providers engaged by ptgamin who process personal data on our behalf are required to demonstrate compliance with recognised information security standards as a condition of their engagement.
• Data Breach Response: ptgamin maintains a documented data breach response procedure. In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, ptgamin will notify the National Privacy Commission within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, and will notify affected players without undue delay where required by the Data Privacy Act.

Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by ptgamin. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer at [email protected] with a clear description of your request. ptgamin will respond to all data rights requests within 15 business days of receipt.

• Right to Be Informed: You have the right to be informed of the personal data ptgamin collects about you and the purposes for which it is processed, before or at the time of collection. This Privacy Policy is ptgamin's primary mechanism for fulfilling this obligation.
• Right to Access: You may request a copy of the personal data ptgamin holds about you at any time. We will provide this information in a clear and readable format within the statutory response period.
• Right to Rectification: If any personal data ptgamin holds about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to have it corrected. You may update basic account details directly through your ptgamin account settings, or contact support for assistance with more complex corrections.
• Right to Erasure: You may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, where you withdraw consent, or where the processing is unlawful. Please note that ptgamin may be required to retain certain data for regulatory compliance purposes even following an erasure request.
• Right to Object: You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes at any time. You may also object to processing based on legitimate interests where your particular situation warrants it, subject to ptgamin demonstrating compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
• Right to Data Portability: Where processing is based on your consent or on contractual necessity and is carried out by automated means, you may request that ptgamin provide your personal data to you in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
• Right to Lodge a Complaint: If you believe ptgamin has not handled your personal data in accordance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines.

ptgamin's platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 years or older, in accordance with Philippine gaming laws and PAGCOR's age restriction requirements for casino-style online gambling. ptgamin does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21.

During the registration process, all applicants are required to confirm that they are at least 21 years of age. Where ptgamin has reasonable grounds to suspect that an account has been created by or on behalf of a person under the age of 21, the account will be suspended pending identity and age verification. If it is confirmed that the account holder is under 21, the account will be permanently closed, any balance will be returned via the deposit method used (where legally permissible), and the personal data of the underage individual will be securely deleted in accordance with this Policy.

ptgamin primarily processes and stores personal data within the Philippines. However, in certain circumstances — for example where third-party technology service providers or game software vendors operate infrastructure outside the Philippines — your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than the Philippines.

Where personal data is transferred outside the Philippines, ptgamin ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data in accordance with the requirements of the Philippine Data Privacy Act. These safeguards may include contractual clauses that require overseas recipients to apply data protection standards equivalent to those required under Philippine law, or reliance on the NPC-recognised adequacy of the recipient country's data protection framework.

By using the ptgamin platform, you acknowledge that your personal data may be processed in countries outside the Philippines in the circumstances described above, subject to the safeguards outlined in this section. If you wish to obtain more information about the specific safeguards in place for international data transfers, please contact our Data Protection Officer at [email protected].

ptgamin may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in applicable Philippine law, PAGCOR regulatory requirements, our data processing practices, the services and features available on the platform, or other legitimate operational reasons. The effective date at the top of this Policy will always reflect the date of the most recent update.

When material changes are made to this Privacy Policy, ptgamin will make reasonable efforts to notify registered players by sending a notification to the email address associated with their account, and by displaying a prominent notice on the ptgamin platform. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed of how ptgamin protects your personal data.

Your continued use of the ptgamin platform following the effective date of any update to this Privacy Policy constitutes your acknowledgement of the revised Policy. If you do not agree with any changes made to this Privacy Policy, you should stop using the ptgamin platform and may request voluntary account closure by contacting [email protected].
