At y988, your privacy is taken seriously. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what personal information y988 collects from Pakistani players, how it is used, how long it is retained, who it may be shared with, and what rights you hold over your own data. Please read this document carefully before using the y988 platform.
Six core commitments that govern how y988 handles every byte of personal information provided by players across Pakistan.
All personal data transmitted between your device and y988 is protected with 256-bit SSL encryption — the same standard used by major Pakistani banks including HBL and UBL. Your information travels in a fully encrypted tunnel at all times.
y988 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party marketers or data brokers under any circumstances. Your data is used only for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and for no other commercial purpose.
Registered y988 players hold clear rights over their personal data — including the right to access, correct, restrict processing of, and request deletion of personal information held on the y988 platform, subject to legal retention obligations.
y988 never stores passwords in plain text. All account passwords are hashed using industry-standard cryptographic algorithms before storage. Not even y988 staff can read your password — only you know it.
y988 does not retain personal data for longer than is necessary. Retention periods are defined by the purpose of collection, applicable legal obligations, and regulatory requirements — all detailed in Section 7 of this Privacy Policy.
Players who opt in to y988 marketing communications may withdraw that consent at any time. Unsubscribing from promotional messages is immediate and does not affect your ability to use the y988 platform or access your account.
y988 Privacy Policy — Version 1.0 | Effective: 1 January 2026.
This policy applies to all players who register, browse, or otherwise interact with the y988 platform at y988.bid. By using y988, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy describes how y988 ("we", "us", "our", or "y988") collects, processes, stores, and uses personal information in connection with the operation of the y988 online gaming platform at y988.bid. It applies to all visitors, registered players, and former players whose data y988 continues to hold for legal or regulatory reasons.
This Privacy Policy should be read together with the y988 Terms & Conditions and our Responsible Gaming Policy. By registering for a y988 account or using any feature of the platform, you confirm that you have read, understood, and consent to the data practices described in this document.
y988 is committed to handling personal data responsibly, lawfully, and with full transparency. We do not collect more data than is necessary, we do not retain data beyond defined periods, and we do not use data for purposes you have not been informed of through this Policy.
For the purposes of applicable data protection law, y988 is the data controller in respect of all personal data collected through the y988 platform. This means y988 determines the purposes for which, and the means by which, personal data is processed.
For all data protection enquiries, requests to exercise your rights as a data subject, or complaints regarding y988's data practices, please contact our Data Protection contact using the details provided in Section 16 of this Privacy Policy.
y988 collects personal data in the following categories, depending on how you interact with the platform:
When you create a y988 account, we collect your Pakistani mobile number, your chosen username, and your password (stored in hashed, non-reversible form). This is the minimum data required to establish and secure your account.
When you request a withdrawal above platform thresholds, or when y988 deems verification necessary, we may collect: your full legal name, date of birth, Pakistani CNIC (Computerised National Identity Card) number and images, proof of address, and photographs as required for identity verification purposes.
When you make deposits or withdrawals, y988 collects information about the payment method used — including the JazzCash or EasyPaisa mobile account number, bank account details (where bank transfer is used), and transaction reference identifiers. y988 does not store full card numbers or sensitive payment credentials beyond what is required for transaction reconciliation.
y988 records all account activity, including deposit history, withdrawal requests, game rounds played, wagers placed (including PSL and cricket bets), bonus activations and redemptions, and account balance changes. This data is necessary for account management, dispute resolution, and regulatory compliance.
When you access y988, we automatically collect certain technical data including your IP address, device type and operating system, browser type and version, session duration, pages visited within the platform, and referring URL. This data is used for security, fraud prevention, and platform optimisation purposes.
If you contact y988 customer support via live chat or email, we retain records of those communications — including the content of your messages and the resolution provided — for quality assurance, training, and dispute resolution purposes.
| Category | Examples | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Registration | Mobile number, username, password hash | Account creation & authentication |
| KYC / Identity | Name, DOB, CNIC, address proof | Withdrawal verification, AML compliance |
| Payment | JazzCash / EasyPaisa number, bank account | Processing deposits & withdrawals |
| Gaming Activity | Bets placed, games played, win/loss history | Account management, responsible gaming |
| Technical | IP address, device info, session data | Security, fraud prevention, optimisation |
| Communications | Support chat transcripts, emails | Support delivery, dispute resolution |
| Marketing (if opted in) | Communication preferences, offer interactions | Personalised promotions & notifications |
y988 uses the personal data it collects for the following specific purposes:
y988 processes personal data under one or more of the following legal bases, depending on the specific processing activity:
y988 does not sell, rent, or commercially share your personal data with third parties. y988 may, however, disclose personal data in the following limited circumstances:
y988 engages trusted third-party service providers who process data on y988's behalf under strict contractual data processing agreements. These include: payment processing partners (JazzCash, EasyPaisa, bank partners), identity verification services, game platform providers, customer support software providers, and IT infrastructure and security services. All such providers are required to implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures and may only use personal data for the specific purposes instructed by y988.
y988 may disclose personal data to competent legal authorities, regulators, law enforcement agencies, or courts where required to do so by applicable law, court order, or lawful regulatory request. y988 will, where permitted by law, notify you of any such disclosure.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of all or part of y988's business, personal data held by y988 may be transferred to the relevant successor entity. In such circumstances, y988 will take reasonable steps to ensure the confidentiality of personal data is maintained and that all privacy commitments made in this Policy continue to apply.
y988 may share personal data with third parties not described above where you have provided your explicit prior consent to such sharing. You may withdraw such consent at any time by contacting y988 customer support.
y988 retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, to comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations, or to resolve disputes and enforce agreements. Specific retention periods by data category are as follows:
| Data Category | Retention Period | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Account registration data | Duration of account + 5 years post-closure | Legal / regulatory obligation |
| KYC / identity documents | 5 years from last transaction | AML compliance |
| Transaction & payment records | 5 years from transaction date | Legal / financial regulation |
| Gaming activity logs | Duration of account + 2 years | Dispute resolution / legitimate interest |
| Customer support records | 3 years from last interaction | Dispute resolution / legitimate interest |
| Technical / access logs | 12 months | Security / fraud prevention |
| Marketing preferences | Until consent is withdrawn | Consent |
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be used to identify an individual.
y988 implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, destruction, or disclosure. These measures include:
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by the y988 platform when you visit or use the service. They enable y988 to recognise your device, maintain your session, remember your preferences, and collect certain analytical data about how the platform is used.
You may manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Please note that disabling essential cookies will prevent you from accessing the y988 platform and completing the y988 login process. Disabling analytics or functional cookies will not prevent platform access but may reduce personalisation features.
As a registered y988 player, you hold the following rights in respect of your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, please contact y988 using the details in Section 16.
You may request a copy of all personal data y988 holds about you. We will respond within 30 days of a verified request with a structured summary of your data.
If personal data held by y988 is inaccurate or incomplete, you may request correction. Most account data can be updated directly from your y988 account settings.
You may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary, where consent has been withdrawn, or where processing is unlawful. Legal retention obligations may limit full erasure.
You may request that y988 limits its processing of your data in certain circumstances — for example while the accuracy of data is being contested or an objection to processing is under consideration.
Where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means, you may request your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format for transfer to another service.
You may object to y988's processing of your data where it is based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. Marketing objections are actioned immediately upon receipt.
You may request human review of any significant decision about you that has been made solely by automated means — for example, an automated account suspension or fraud flag.
Where y988 processes data based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.
y988 is strictly an adult platform — access is limited to individuals aged 21 years and above. y988 does not knowingly collect, process, or retain personal data from persons under 21. If y988 discovers or has reason to believe that an account belongs to a person under 21, that account will be immediately suspended and all associated personal data reviewed in accordance with applicable law.
If you believe that y988 has inadvertently collected data from a person under 21, please contact us immediately using the details in Section 16 and we will take appropriate action without delay.
y988 operates globally and may store or process personal data on servers located outside Pakistan. Where personal data is transferred to countries that may not provide the same level of data protection as Pakistan, y988 implements appropriate safeguards to ensure your data remains protected. These safeguards include contractual data processing agreements incorporating standard data protection clauses with all international service providers who process y988 player data.
By using y988, you acknowledge that your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside Pakistan for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, and that y988 takes all reasonable steps to protect that data during such transfers.
y988 may send you promotional communications about bonuses, new games, PSL betting promotions, special offers, and platform updates — but only where you have explicitly consented to receive such communications at registration or subsequently through your account settings.
You may opt out of marketing communications from y988 at any time by:
Unsubscribing from marketing does not affect your ability to access and use the y988 platform, and y988 will continue to send you essential service communications — such as deposit confirmations, withdrawal notifications, and account security alerts — regardless of your marketing preferences.
The y988 platform may from time to time reference third-party services — for example, payment provider interfaces for JazzCash or EasyPaisa. Once you leave the y988 platform or interact with a third-party interface, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. y988 is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of any third-party services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with in connection with y988 payments or account verification.
y988 reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in applicable law, platform functionality, or data processing practices. When material changes are made, y988 will notify registered players via the platform's in-app notification system or via SMS to the registered mobile number at least 7 days before the changes take effect.
The "Last Reviewed" date at the top of this page will be updated whenever this Privacy Policy is amended. We encourage you to review this page periodically to remain informed about how y988 protects your personal data. Your continued use of the y988 platform following any amendment constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
For any questions, concerns, or requests relating to this Privacy Policy or y988's data practices — including requests to exercise your data subject rights — please contact the y988 Data Protection team through the following channels:
y988 aims to respond to all privacy-related requests within 30 days of receipt. Where a request is complex or numerous, this period may be extended by up to a further 60 days — in which case y988 will notify you of the extension and the reason for it within the initial 30-day period.
If you are not satisfied with y988's response to a privacy complaint, you may have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection authority in your jurisdiction. y988 will cooperate fully with any such authority in the resolution of privacy complaints.
