At 98jl, we handle your personal data with the same seriousness that we apply to the security of your account and funds. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect from Filipino players, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, and what rights you have over your own information.
Your data stays with 98jl. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for marketing purposes.
Six commitments that shape every data decision we make at 98jl.
98jl collects only the data necessary for the specific purpose it is needed. We do not collect data speculatively or for purposes unrelated to running the platform for Filipino players.
All 98jl player data is stored behind 256-bit SSL encryption, access-controlled internal systems, and regular security audits. We treat your personal data with the same care as your account balance.
98jl does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for marketing or commercial purposes. Full stop. Your data is not a product at 98jl.
As a 98jl player and as a data subject under Philippine data protection law, you have the right to access, correct, and request deletion of your personal data at any time.
This policy is written in plain, readable English — not buried in legal jargon. We want every 98jl player to clearly understand what we do with their data and why.
98jl retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable Philippine law and regulatory obligations.

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") is published by 98jl ("98jl," "we," "us," "our") and applies to all personal data collected, used, stored, or otherwise processed by 98jl in connection with the operation of the 98jl online casino platform available at 98jl.one, including all games, payment processing, customer support, promotional activities, and responsible gaming tools offered through the platform.
This Policy applies to all registered players, prospective players who browse the 98jl platform without registering, and any individual whose personal data is provided to 98jl in connection with a support query or account-related matter. By registering a 98jl account, depositing funds, or otherwise engaging with the platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.
This Policy should be read alongside the 98jl Terms & Conditions, which together govern the full relationship between 98jl and its players. In the event of any inconsistency between this Policy and the Terms & Conditions on a data protection matter, this Policy shall prevail.
Philippine Players: 98jl primarily serves players in the Philippines. This Policy reflects 98jl's commitment to data protection standards applicable to Filipino players, including compliance with Philippine data protection legislation. Where PAGCOR or other applicable Philippine regulatory requirements impose additional obligations on data processing, those obligations take precedence.
For the purposes of applicable data protection law, 98jl is the data controller responsible for the personal data of its players and users. As data controller, 98jl determines the purposes and means by which personal data is processed in connection with the operation of the 98jl platform.
Where 98jl engages third-party service providers to process personal data on its behalf — such as payment processors, identity verification providers, or hosting infrastructure operators — those third parties act as data processors under 98jl's instruction and are bound by appropriate data processing agreements and confidentiality obligations.
If you have any questions about how 98jl processes your personal data, or wish to exercise any of your data rights, you may contact us at any time through the support contact details set out in Section 15 of this Policy.
98jl collects several categories of personal data in order to operate the platform and provide services to Filipino players. The main categories are as follows:
98jl does not collect sensitive personal data categories such as racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, health data, or sexual orientation. Where KYC documentation incidentally contains such information, it is used solely for identity verification purposes and is not processed for any other purpose.
98jl collects personal data through the following channels and methods:
98jl uses the personal data it collects for the following primary purposes:
No Unsolicited Marketing: 98jl does not send unsolicited marketing communications to persons who have not consented. We do not purchase marketing lists or engage in bulk cold-contact campaigns using player personal data.
98jl processes personal data only where a valid lawful basis exists. The primary legal bases relied upon are:
98jl does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for commercial or marketing purposes. Personal data is shared only in the following limited and controlled circumstances:
Data Processor Obligations: All third parties who receive 98jl player data in the capacity of a data processor are required to implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures and to process that data only for the specific purpose for which it was shared.
98jl uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the 98jl platform. Cookies are small text files placed on your device by your browser when you visit the 98jl website. They serve the following functions:
Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through their settings menu. Disabling essential cookies will impair your ability to use the 98jl platform. Disabling functional or analytics cookies will not prevent you from playing but may affect some preferences and features.
98jl does not use third-party advertising cookies or allow ad networks to place tracking technologies on the 98jl platform.
98jl implements a comprehensive set of technical and organizational security measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include:
While 98jl takes all reasonable steps to protect your personal data, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your 98jl login credentials and for notifying 98jl promptly if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.
98jl retains personal data for no longer than is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, subject to any longer retention periods required by applicable Philippine law, PAGCOR regulatory requirements, or AML obligations.
As a general framework, the following retention periods apply:
When personal data is no longer required and no legal obligation to retain it remains, 98jl securely destroys or anonymizes the data in accordance with its internal data deletion procedures.
As a player of 98jl and a data subject under applicable Philippine data protection law, you have the following rights in respect of your personal data held by 98jl:
Request a copy of the personal data 98jl holds about you.
Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
Request deletion of your data where no overriding legal obligation requires its retention.
Request restriction of processing in specified circumstances.
Receive your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
Object to processing based on legitimate interest, including profiling.
Withdraw any marketing consent you have given at any time.
Lodge a complaint with the relevant Philippine data protection authority.
To exercise any of these rights, contact the 98jl support team using the details in Section 15. 98jl will respond to all valid data rights requests within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt. In complex cases, 98jl may extend this period by a further thirty (30) days with notice. Some requests may be subject to identity verification before they can be processed.
Limitations: The right to erasure and the right to data portability are subject to overriding legal and regulatory retention obligations. Where 98jl is required by Philippine law or PAGCOR regulation to retain certain data, that data cannot be deleted upon request until the applicable retention period has expired.
The 98jl platform is strictly intended for adults. In accordance with PAGCOR regulations, the minimum legal gambling age in the Philippines is 21 years. 98jl does not knowingly collect or process personal data from individuals under the age of 21.
Where 98jl discovers that an account has been registered by or on behalf of a person under the age of 21, that account will be immediately suspended, all associated personal data will be securely deleted from active systems (subject to any legal obligation to retain transaction records), and any deposited funds will be returned to the originating payment method following identity verification.
Parents and guardians who believe that a minor in their care has registered a 98jl account or accessed the platform should contact 98jl support immediately. 98jl will investigate and take appropriate action upon receipt of a credible report.
The primary infrastructure supporting the 98jl platform is located in data centers designed to serve the Southeast Asian region. In certain circumstances, personal data may be processed by third-party service providers — such as fraud screening or payment processing partners — whose operations are based outside the Philippines.
Where such transfers occur, 98jl ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data to a standard consistent with Philippine data protection requirements. These safeguards include contractual data transfer agreements, data processing addenda, and, where applicable, assessments of the data protection standards of the destination country or provider.
98jl does not transfer personal data to jurisdictions or organizations that cannot demonstrate an adequate level of data protection. If you have concerns about any specific international transfer, please contact us using the details in Section 15.
98jl reviews this Privacy Policy periodically and will update it from time to time to reflect changes in applicable law, regulatory guidance, platform features, or internal data practices. The most current version of this Policy is always available at 98jl.one/privacy-policy. The "Last Reviewed" date at the top of this document indicates when the current version was finalized.
Where material changes are made to this Policy, 98jl will notify registered players by email or by a prominent in-platform notice at least seven (7) calendar days before the changes take effect, except where a shorter notice period is required by applicable law.
Continued use of the 98jl platform after the effective date of a revised Privacy Policy constitutes your acknowledgment of and agreement to the updated terms. If you do not accept a material revision to this Policy, you should stop using the 98jl platform and contact support to arrange account closure.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, wish to exercise a data subject right, or want to raise a concern about how 98jl handles your personal data, please contact us through the following channels:
If you are not satisfied with 98jl's response to a data privacy concern, you have the right to escalate your complaint to the relevant Philippine data protection authority. 98jl will cooperate fully with any formal investigation by a competent supervisory authority.
