At pkr188, your privacy is not an afterthought — it is a foundational commitment. This Privacy Policy explains in plain, legal-grade English exactly what personal data pkr188 collects from players across Pakistan, how that data is used, who it may be shared with, and what rights you hold over your own information. Please read this document before registering your pkr188 account.
These highlights summarise the most important aspects of how pkr188 handles your data. The complete legal text further down the page governs all data practices and takes precedence in every situation.
pkr188 collects only the personal data necessary to operate your account safely and lawfully. This includes your name, CNIC, contact details, payment information, and gameplay records. We do not collect data beyond what our operational and compliance obligations require.
Your pkr188 data is used to verify your identity, process deposits and withdrawals in PKR, personalise your gaming experience, fulfil our legal and regulatory obligations, and communicate important account updates. We do not use your data for unsolicited third-party marketing without your consent.
pkr188 shares your personal data only with trusted, contractually bound service providers — including KYC verification partners, payment processors such as JazzCash and EasyPaisa, fraud prevention systems, and regulatory authorities where legally required. We never sell your data to third-party advertisers.
pkr188 uses strictly necessary cookies to keep you securely logged in, functional cookies to remember your preferences, and analytics cookies to understand how players across Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad use our platform. You can manage non-essential cookies at any time through your browser settings.
You have the right to access, correct, and in certain circumstances delete the personal data pkr188 holds about you. You may also object to or restrict certain processing activities. All requests can be submitted to our support team and will be actioned within 30 calendar days.
pkr188 employs industry-standard TLS encryption, access-controlled data environments, regular security audits, and strict internal data handling procedures to protect your personal information. In the event of a data breach that affects your rights, pkr188 will notify you without undue delay.
1.1 pkr188 is Pakistan's premier online casino and sports-betting platform, serving players across Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Faisalabad, and beyond. As part of operating a regulated gaming platform, pkr188 is required to collect and process certain categories of personal data in order to verify player identities, process financial transactions in Pakistani Rupees (PKR), comply with anti-money-laundering ("AML") obligations, and deliver a safe and personalised gaming experience.
1.2 pkr188 takes the protection of your personal data seriously. This Policy has been drafted in alignment with internationally recognised data protection principles, including those enshrined in the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") where applicable as a baseline standard, and with the data privacy expectations of our players in Pakistan.
1.3 This Policy applies to all personal data collected through the pkr188 website, mobile platform, customer support channels, and any other touchpoint through which you interact with pkr188. It applies to registered players, prospective players who begin but do not complete the registration process, and any individual who contacts pkr188 support.
1.4 This Policy should be read alongside the pkr188 Terms & Conditions and Responsible Gaming Policy, which together form the complete framework governing your relationship with pkr188.
2.1 pkr188 collects personal data in several ways — directly from you when you register, deposit, or contact support; automatically through your use of the platform; and from trusted third-party sources such as KYC verification providers and fraud prevention services. The categories of data we collect are set out in the table below.
| Category | Examples | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Identity Data | Full name, date of birth, CNIC number, CNIC scan/photo | Provided by you at registration or KYC stage |

| Usage Data | Games played, bets placed, deposit and withdrawal frequency, promotional interactions | Collected automatically |
| Communications Data | Live chat transcripts, support emails, complaint records | Generated when you contact pkr188 support |
| Responsible Gaming Data | Self-exclusion elections, deposit limit settings, cooling-off requests | Provided by you via account settings |
2.2 pkr188 does not collect sensitive special-category data such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, or biometric data for identification purposes, except where required by applicable law or regulation in the context of enhanced due diligence checks.
2.3 Where you choose not to provide data that pkr188 is required to collect for legal or contractual reasons, pkr188 may be unable to open or maintain your account, process transactions, or provide certain services.
3.1 pkr188 uses your personal data for the following purposes:
3.2 pkr188 does not use automated decision-making or profiling in a manner that produces significant legal effects on players, except in the context of real-time fraud scoring systems required to protect the financial integrity of the platform. Where such automated processes influence an account action, you may request a human review by contacting pkr188 support.
4.1 Contractual Necessity. The majority of pkr188's data processing activities are necessary for the performance of the contract between you and pkr188, as governed by the pkr188 Terms & Conditions. This includes account creation, transaction processing, customer support, and responsible gaming tool administration.
4.2 Legal Obligation. pkr188 is required by applicable gaming licensing conditions, AML regulations, and financial crime prevention legislation to collect, retain, and in certain cases disclose personal data. Processing for these purposes is mandatory and cannot be objected to.
4.3 Legitimate Interests. pkr188 may process your data on the basis of its legitimate interests where those interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights. This covers fraud prevention, platform security, internal analytics, and improving the quality of our services. pkr188 has conducted legitimate interest assessments for these activities.
4.4 Consent. Where pkr188 processes your data for purposes that are not strictly necessary for the contract or legal compliance — such as sending you personalised promotional communications about pkr188 bonuses, cricket betting offers, or new slot game releases — we will do so only on the basis of your freely given, specific, and informed consent. You may withdraw consent at any time by updating your communication preferences in your pkr188 account settings.
5.1 pkr188 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third-party advertisers or data brokers under any circumstances.
5.2 pkr188 shares personal data with the following categories of third parties, strictly on a need-to-know basis and subject to binding contractual data protection obligations:
5.3 All third-party data processors engaged by pkr188 are required to sign a Data Processing Agreement obligating them to process personal data only on pkr188's documented instructions, to implement appropriate security measures, and to delete or return data at the conclusion of the service engagement.
6.1 pkr188 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies (including local storage objects and session identifiers) on the pkr188 platform. The following categories of cookies are in use:
6.2 You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from accessing your pkr188 account. Instructions for managing cookies in common browsers are widely available from browser support documentation.
7.1 pkr188 retains your personal data for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, and in any event for no shorter than the minimum retention periods mandated by applicable gaming licensing conditions and AML legislation.
7.2 As a general principle, pkr188 retains:
7.3 At the end of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with pkr188's data destruction procedures.
8.1 pkr188 operates globally and may transfer your personal data to service providers located outside Pakistan. Where such transfers occur, pkr188 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place — including Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent contractual protections — to ensure that the level of protection afforded to your data is not diminished by the transfer.
8.2 By registering for a pkr188 account, you acknowledge that your personal data may be transferred to, stored, and processed in countries other than Pakistan. pkr188 will always take reasonable steps to ensure that any such transfer is handled in accordance with this Policy and applicable data protection law.
8.3 Where you require further information about the specific safeguards in place for a particular international transfer, you may submit a request to pkr188 support and we will provide the relevant details within a reasonable timeframe.
9.1 Right of Access. You have the right to request a copy of the personal data that pkr188 holds about you, along with information about how that data is being used. pkr188 will provide this in a structured, commonly used format.
9.2 Right to Rectification. If you believe that any personal data pkr188 holds about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you may request that it be corrected. For identity data, pkr188 may require documentary evidence of the correct information before making amendments.
9.3 Right to Erasure. In certain circumstances, you may request the deletion of your personal data. This right is subject to overriding legal obligations — in particular, pkr188 cannot erase data that it is legally required to retain for AML compliance, regulatory reporting, or outstanding dispute resolution.
9.4 Right to Restrict Processing. You may request that pkr188 restricts the processing of your personal data in circumstances where you contest its accuracy, where processing is unlawful, or where pkr188 no longer needs the data but you require it for a legal claim.
9.5 Right to Data Portability. Where processing is carried out by automated means on the basis of your consent or contractual necessity, you have the right to receive your personal data in a machine-readable format and to transmit it to another controller.
9.6 Right to Object. You have the right to object to processing carried out on the basis of pkr188's legitimate interests. pkr188 will cease such processing unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, or where the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.
9.7 Right to Withdraw Consent. Where pkr188 processes your data on the basis of consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time by updating your communication preferences in your pkr188 account settings or by contacting support. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
9.8 To exercise any of the rights described in this section, please contact pkr188's Data Protection team using the contact details in Section 14 of this Policy. pkr188 will verify your identity before processing any data subject request.
10.1 pkr188 operates a mandatory age verification process as part of account registration. All players are required to confirm they are aged 21 or above at the point of registration and to submit valid CNIC documentation confirming their date of birth during the KYC verification process.
10.2 If pkr188 discovers or has reasonable grounds to suspect that a registered account belongs to a person under the age of 21, that account will be immediately suspended. Any funds held in the account will be retained pending investigation and, where the minor account is confirmed, will be returned to the deposit source in accordance with pkr188's underage gambling procedures.
10.3 Any personal data collected from a person subsequently confirmed to be under 21 years of age will be deleted from pkr188's systems, subject only to the retention of minimal records required for regulatory compliance and to prevent future registration attempts by the same individual.
10.4 If you believe that a minor may have accessed or registered a pkr188 account, please notify pkr188 support immediately. pkr188 will treat all such reports with priority and in strict confidence.
11.1 pkr188 implements a comprehensive suite of technical and organisational security measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or disclosure. These measures include, but are not limited to:
11.2 In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, pkr188 will notify you without undue delay and will provide information about the nature of the breach, the data affected, the likely consequences, and the measures taken or proposed to address it.
11.3 You are also responsible for protecting your pkr188 account. You must keep your password confidential, not share your login credentials with any third party, and contact pkr188 support immediately if you suspect unauthorised access to your account.

12.3 pkr188 does not control and is not responsible for the content, availability, or privacy practices of any linked third-party site, and the inclusion of a link does not constitute an endorsement by pkr188.
13.1 pkr188 reserves the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time. Where a material change is made — for example, a change to the categories of data collected, the purposes for which data is used, or the third parties with whom data is shared — pkr188 will notify registered players by email at the address on file and by a prominent notice on the pkr188 platform at least 14 days before the change takes effect.
13.2 Continued use of the pkr188 platform following notification of an amendment constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy. If you do not accept the revised Policy, you must cease using the platform and close your account before the amendments take effect.
13.3 The current version of this Privacy Policy is always accessible at pkr188.org/privacy-policy. The effective date shown at the top of this document reflects when the current version was last reviewed and updated.
