This Privacy Policy describes how betso88 so ("the Platform," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects the personal information of members and visitors ("you" or "your") in accordance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act 10173) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations. By registering an account or using the betso88 so platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy. If you have questions at any point, our support team is available 24/7.
Introduction
betso88 so is an online betting and gaming platform serving Filipino members across the Philippines. As a regulated operator, we are legally obligated — and genuinely committed — to handling your personal data responsibly and transparently. This policy applies to all personal information collected through the betso88 so website, mobile platform, customer support channels, and any related services.
We act as the data controller in relation to your personal information. This means we determine the purposes and means by which your data is processed. Where we engage third-party service providers who process data on our behalf, they do so only under strict data processing agreements that require them to meet the same standards we hold ourselves to.
Data We Collect
betso88 so collects personal data only when it is necessary for the legitimate operation of the platform or when required by Philippine regulatory obligations. The following describes the categories of data we may collect.
| Data Category | Examples | When Collected |
|---|---|---|
| Registration Data | Full name, email address, mobile number, date of birth, username | Account sign-up |
| Identity Verification | Government-issued ID (UMID, PhilSys, Driver's License, Passport), selfie photo, proof of address | KYC / withdrawal verification |
| Financial Data | GCash number, Maya account, bank account name and number, transaction history | Deposits and withdrawals |

| Device and Technical Data | IP address, device type, operating system, browser type, cookies | Each platform visit |
| Communications Data | Support chat logs, email correspondence, feedback submissions | When you contact support |
We do not collect sensitive personal information — such as health records, religious beliefs, or political affiliations — unless specifically required by a regulatory body and only with your explicit consent. We do not collect data from members' social media profiles without authorisation.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies
betso88 so uses cookies and similar technologies to make the platform work properly, understand how members use it, and improve the overall experience. Here's an honest breakdown of what we use and why.
- Strictly necessary cookies: These are essential for the betso88 so platform to function. They manage your login session, maintain your bet slip state, and protect against cross-site request forgery. These cannot be turned off without breaking core functionality.
- Analytics cookies: These help us understand which features members use most, where performance issues occur, and how navigation flows can be improved. Data collected is aggregated and does not identify individuals.
- Security cookies: Used to detect and prevent suspicious login attempts, bot activity, and fraudulent transactions. These are active during your session and expire when you log out.
- Preference cookies: Store your platform settings — such as language preference, odds format, and notification choices — so you don't have to reconfigure them every visit.
You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling necessary cookies will affect your ability to use the betso88 so platform normally. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking technologies.
Data Security
betso88 so implements industry-standard technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These include:
- End-to-end encryption for all data transmitted between your device and the betso88 so platform, using TLS 1.2 or higher.
- Encrypted storage of sensitive data at rest, including identity documents and financial account references.
- Strict access controls ensuring that personal data is accessible only to betso88 so staff who require it to perform their specific job function.
- Continuous monitoring of platform activity for anomalous patterns that may indicate a security incident or data breach attempt.
- Regular security audits and penetration testing conducted by qualified third-party security professionals.
In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, betso88 so will notify affected members and the relevant Philippine regulatory authorities within the timeframes required by applicable law. We will also take immediate remedial action to contain the breach and prevent further exposure.
Data Retention
betso88 so retains your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by Philippine law and regulatory obligations. The following general retention periods apply:
- Active account data: Retained for the duration of your membership and for a period following account closure as required by Philippine gaming and financial regulations.
- Transaction records: Financial records including deposit and withdrawal history are retained for a minimum of five years to comply with anti-money laundering requirements.
- Support communications: Retained for up to three years to assist with any subsequent disputes or regulatory enquiries related to the same matter.
- Identity documents: Retained for the period required by Philippine KYC regulations, typically a minimum of five years from the date of the last transaction.
When data is no longer required, betso88 so securely destroys or anonymises it. Anonymised data — which cannot be used to identify you — may be retained indefinitely for statistical and platform improvement purposes.
