This Privacy Policy applies to ph sabong, the online gaming platform operated at phsabong.best. It describes how ph sabong collects, uses, stores, and protects the personal information of everyone who creates an account and uses our platform.
ph sabong is committed to the privacy of its players. We operate in full compliance with the Republic Act No. 10173, otherwise known as the Data Privacy Act of 2012 of the Philippines, and its implementing rules and regulations. This law gives Filipino individuals meaningful rights over how organisations handle their personal data — and ph sabong takes those rights seriously.
By registering an account at ph sabong, depositing funds, or using any feature of the platform, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy and that you consent to the data practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not use the ph sabong platform and contact our support team to close any existing account.
This policy is written in plain English to be as clear as possible for Filipino players. If anything is confusing or you want more detail on a specific point, reach out to ph sabong support before you continue using the platform.
ph sabong collects personal data only when it is necessary to operate the platform, process transactions, verify identity, provide support, and comply with applicable Philippine law. We do not collect data we do not need, and we do not retain data beyond the periods described in this policy.
The categories of data ph sabong collects include:
| Data Category | Examples | When Collected |
|---|---|---|
| Registration Data | Full name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, username, password (hashed) | At account creation |
| Identity Verification | Government-issued ID (e.g., PhilSys, driver's licence, passport), selfie or photo for verification | During KYC verification |
| Financial Data | GCash number, Maya account, bank account number, transaction amounts and history | During deposits and withdrawals |
| Gameplay Data | Bets placed, games played, game results, session durations, account balance history | During platform use |
| Device & Technical Data | IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, session timestamps | Automatically during platform use |
| Communications Data | Support chat messages, emails sent to ph sabong, feedback or dispute records | When you contact us |
ph sabong does not intentionally collect sensitive personal data such as health information, political opinions, or biometric data beyond what is strictly required for identity verification under applicable regulations.
ph sabong uses the personal data it collects strictly for the following purposes:
- Account management: Creating, maintaining, and securing your ph sabong account.
- Identity verification: Confirming that you are who you say you are and that you meet our eligibility requirements, including being 18 years of age or older and a resident of the Philippines.
- Transaction processing: Processing your deposits and withdrawals through GCash, Maya, BDO, BPI, UnionBank, GrabPay, Coins.ph, InstaPay, and card payment channels.
- Platform security: Detecting and preventing fraud, multi-accounting, money laundering, bonus abuse, and other prohibited conduct described in our Terms and Conditions.
- Regulatory compliance: Meeting our obligations under Philippine law, including Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA) requirements and the Data Privacy Act of 2012.
- Responsible gaming: Monitoring account activity to identify potential problem gambling patterns and apply responsible gaming measures where appropriate.
- Customer support: Responding to your queries, resolving disputes, and processing requests related to your account.
- Platform improvements: Analysing aggregated and anonymised usage data to improve the ph sabong platform and the games we offer.
- Communications: Sending you information about your account, transaction confirmations, and — where you have opted in — promotional offers relevant to ph sabong.
ph sabong does not use your personal data for any purpose not described above without obtaining your explicit consent in advance.
ph sabong does not sell your personal data to any third party. That is a firm commitment, not a marketing line.
In the normal course of operating the ph sabong platform, certain limited data may be shared with the following categories of recipients — and only to the extent necessary for the stated purpose:
- Payment processors: Your payment details are shared with the relevant payment provider (e.g., GCash, Maya, BDO) only to the extent required to process your transaction. ph sabong does not store full card numbers or full e-wallet credentials.
- Game technology providers: Third-party game developers who power specific games on the ph sabong platform receive anonymised or pseudonymised session data necessary to run their games. They do not receive your registration or financial data.
- Identity verification services: Where third-party KYC (Know Your Customer) services are used to verify identity documents, the necessary data is shared securely and handled under strict data processing agreements.
- Regulatory and law enforcement authorities: ph sabong is required by law to provide account data and transaction records to the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) and other Philippine regulatory bodies when lawfully requested. This is not discretionary — it is a legal obligation.
- Legal and audit advisers: External lawyers and auditors may access limited account or financial data under strict confidentiality obligations as part of legal proceedings or compliance audits.
Any third party that receives personal data from ph sabong is contractually required to handle it in accordance with Philippine data privacy law and to use it only for the specific purpose for which it was shared.
ph sabong uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the platform, remember your session, and improve the user experience. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by your browser.
The types of cookies ph sabong uses include:
- Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function. These manage your login session, remember your language preference, and maintain security tokens. The platform cannot work properly without them.
- Analytics cookies: Collect anonymised information about how players navigate the ph sabong platform — which pages are visited most, where errors occur, and how long sessions last. This data helps us improve the platform. Individual players are not identified in analytics data.
- Fraud prevention cookies: Help ph sabong identify unusual or suspicious behaviour, such as multiple accounts being operated from the same device.
ph sabong does not use third-party advertising cookies or share cookie data with advertising networks. You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings, but note that disabling essential cookies may prevent the ph sabong platform from functioning correctly.
ph sabong retains personal data only for as long as it is necessary for the purpose it was collected, or as required by Philippine law — whichever is longer.
- Active accounts: Data is retained for the full duration of the account's active status and for a minimum of five (5) years after the account is closed, in accordance with AMLA and financial record-keeping requirements.
- Transaction records: All deposit and withdrawal records are kept for a minimum of ten (10) years under Anti-Money Laundering Act requirements.
- Identity verification documents: Retained for the period required by applicable regulatory obligations, typically five (5) years from account closure.
- Support communications: Support chat logs and email records are kept for two (2) years after the relevant issue is resolved, unless longer retention is required for legal or compliance purposes.
After the relevant retention period, ph sabong securely deletes or anonymises personal data so that it can no longer be linked to any individual.
ph sabong implements industry-standard technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, accidental loss, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:
- SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and the ph sabong platform.
- Password hashing — your account password is never stored in plaintext. It is hashed using modern cryptographic algorithms that cannot be reversed.
- Access controls — only authorised ph sabong personnel with a specific operational need can access personal data, and all access is logged.
- Database security — player data is stored on secured, access-controlled infrastructure with regular security audits.
- Session security — active sessions expire after a period of inactivity to reduce the risk of unauthorised access on shared devices.
While ph sabong takes data security seriously, no digital platform can guarantee absolute security. If you suspect your account has been accessed without your authorisation, contact ph sabong support immediately and change your password. You are also responsible for keeping your own login credentials confidential.
In the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your personal information, ph sabong will notify affected players and the relevant Philippine regulatory authorities as required by the Data Privacy Act of 2012 within the mandated timeframes.
As a Filipino individual whose personal data is processed by ph sabong, you have the following rights under the Data Privacy Act of 2012. ph sabong will respond to verified requests within a reasonable timeframe, typically within fifteen (15) business days:
Right to Access
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data ph sabong holds about you, including information on where it came from and how it is being used.
Right to Correction
If any of the personal data ph sabong holds about you is inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated, you have the right to have it corrected. You can update basic details through your account dashboard or contact support for other corrections.
Right to Erasure
You may request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances — for example, if the data is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected. Note that legal retention obligations may prevent full deletion of some records.
Right to Object
You may object to the processing of your personal data where ph sabong is relying on legitimate interests as its legal basis. You may also withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time through your account settings.
Right to Data Portability
Where technically feasible, you may request a copy of your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format.
Right to Lodge a Complaint
If you believe ph sabong has mishandled your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines, which is the supervisory authority for data privacy in the country.
To exercise any of these rights, contact ph sabong at support@phsabong.best. Please include your registered email address and a clear description of your request. ph sabong may need to verify your identity before processing the request.
ph sabong is strictly an 18+ platform. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. Age verification is required during account registration and may be requested again at any point during the account's lifetime.
If ph sabong discovers that a player under the age of 18 has registered an account or provided personal data, we will immediately close that account, delete all associated personal data to the extent legally permissible, and — where required — report the matter to the appropriate authorities.
If you are a parent or guardian and you believe a minor has registered with ph sabong, please contact us immediately at support@phsabong.best so the matter can be addressed promptly.
ph sabong encourages parents and guardians to install parental control software on devices that minors can access, to prevent any possibility of underage access to online gaming platforms.
ph sabong may update this Privacy Policy from time to time in response to changes in Philippine law, regulatory guidance, or the way we operate the platform. When material changes are made, we will notify registered players by email or through an in-platform notice at least seven (7) days before the changes take effect.
The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects when the most recent version of the Privacy Policy was published. We recommend reviewing this page periodically to stay informed of how ph sabong handles your personal data.
Continued use of the ph sabong platform after a revised Privacy Policy has come into effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not agree to a revised policy, please contact ph sabong support to close your account before the effective date of the changes.
For any questions, concerns, or requests related to this Privacy Policy or how ph sabong handles your personal data, please get in touch with our support team:
- Email: support@phsabong.best (mark your email "Privacy" in the subject line for faster routing)
- In-platform support: Available through your ph sabong account dashboard
