How We Share Your Information

98bdt does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any external party. We may share limited data with trusted partners only under the following conditions:

• Payment processors (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay) to complete financial transactions — only the minimum necessary transaction data is shared
• Game content providers (such as Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, Spribe) for the purpose of delivering and auditing fair-play game outcomes
• Fraud prevention and identity verification service providers, solely to protect the integrity of our platform and all users
• Regulatory or law enforcement authorities, if required by applicable law or a valid legal order — we will notify you where legally permitted to do so

All third-party partners we engage are contractually bound to handle your data in a secure and confidential manner, and are prohibited from using it for any purpose other than the service they provide to 98bdt.

Payment Data & Local Method Security

98bdt supports Bangladesh's most popular mobile financial services — bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay — as well as major bank transfer options through Dutch-Bangla Bank, City Bank, BRAC Bank, and others. We understand that mobile banking is a deeply personal financial tool for our Bangladeshi players, and we treat all related data with the utmost care.

We only retain the last four digits of a mobile wallet number and the transaction reference ID necessary to reconcile your deposit or withdrawal. Full wallet numbers, PINs, and OTP codes are never stored on 98bdt servers. All payment communications are encrypted end-to-end.

If you suspect any unauthorized transaction on your 98bdt account, contact our support team immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate and, where applicable, work with the relevant payment provider to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

98bdt uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the platform effectively, remember your preferences, and deliver a consistent experience across sessions. Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device when you visit our site.

We use the following types of cookies:

• Essential cookies: required for basic platform functionality such as session management, login state, and the shopping cart for in-game purchases
• Analytics cookies: help us understand how users navigate the site so we can improve page layout, loading times, and game discovery
• Preference cookies: store your language, display, and notification settings so you do not need to re-configure them on each visit

You can disable non-essential cookies at any time through your browser settings. Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of the 98bdt platform and your ability to place bets or access account features.

Data Security

Protecting your personal information is one of 98bdt's core operational responsibilities. We implement multiple layers of security to guard against unauthorized access, accidental loss, alteration, or disclosure of the data we hold on your behalf. Our security measures include 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption on all data connections, secure password hashing using industry-standard algorithms, and regular security audits of our platform infrastructure.

While we apply robust security practices, no digital system can guarantee absolute security. If you have reason to believe that your 98bdt account has been compromised, please contact [email protected] immediately. You should also change your password and review your recent transaction history without delay.

Data Retention

98bdt retains your personal data only for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, or as required to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Specifically: account data and transaction records are retained for a minimum of 5 years from the date of your last activity on the platform, in line with standard financial record-keeping practices.

When your data is no longer required, we securely delete or anonymize it so that it can no longer be associated with you. You may request earlier deletion of specific data types by writing to our support team, subject to any legal retention requirements that may prevent us from complying immediately.

Your Rights Over Your Personal Data

As a user of 98bdt, you have the following rights regarding the personal data we hold about you:

• Right of access: you may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you at any time
• Right of rectification: if any data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you may request that we correct it
• Right to erasure: subject to legal retention requirements, you may request deletion of your personal data
• Right to restrict processing: you may ask us to pause the processing of your data while a complaint or query is being investigated
• Right to withdraw consent: where we process data based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing

To exercise any of these rights, please contact our support team at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within 48 hours and aim to resolve it fully within 30 days. We may ask you to verify your identity before processing a data request to protect against fraudulent claims.

Children's Privacy and Age Restriction

98bdt is strictly an adult platform. Our services are available only to individuals who are 21 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect, store, or process personal data from anyone under the age of 21. If you are under 21, you must not register an account, place bets, or use any feature of the 98bdt platform.

If we discover or are notified that we have inadvertently collected data from a person under the age of 21, we will delete that data immediately and close the associated account. Parents or guardians who believe a minor has registered with 98bdt should contact us immediately at [email protected].
