Who We Are

Pak Bet (operating at pakbet.ws) is an online gaming and betting platform built specifically for Pakistani players. Pak Bet is the data controller responsible for the personal information you provide when you register and use the platform.

When this Privacy Policy says "Pak Bet", "we", "us" or "our", it refers to the platform operator accessible at pakbet.ws. We operate across Pakistan and our services are available to Pakistani residents who meet the eligibility criteria set out in our Terms and Conditions.

This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data processed in connection with your Pak Bet account and your use of any product on the platform — including cricket betting, sports betting, roulette, virtual sports, fishing games, Ludo and any promotions you participate in.

Data Controller Contact: For all privacy-related queries, data access requests or complaints, contact Pak Bet's privacy team at support@pakbet.ws. We aim to respond to all privacy requests within 30 calendar days.

Data We Collect

Pak Bet collects personal data in three ways: information you provide directly, information we collect automatically through your use of the platform, and information we receive from third parties in limited circumstances.

Information You Provide Directly

  • Registration information — your full name, date of birth, Pakistani mobile number, email address and the password you create for your Pak Bet account
  • Verification documents — a copy of your CNIC or other government-issued identity document, provided when identity verification is required before a withdrawal is processed
  • Payment details — the mobile wallet or bank account reference you use to deposit or withdraw PKR, including Easypaisa, JazzCash, NayaPay, SadaPay, IBFT account details or card information
  • Support communications — any information you share when contacting Pak Bet's customer support team via email or live chat
  • Responsible gaming data — information you provide when using responsible gaming tools such as deposit limits, cool-off periods or self-exclusion requests

Information Collected Automatically

When you access and use Pak Bet, we automatically collect certain technical data about your device and session. This includes your IP address, device type and operating system, browser type and version, pages visited within the platform, session start and end times, and the type of bets placed or games played. This information is collected through server logs and cookies (see Section 7 for details on cookies).

Information from Third Parties

In limited circumstances, Pak Bet may receive data about you from third parties — specifically from payment processors confirming transaction status, or from fraud prevention services used to verify the legitimacy of account activity. We do not purchase third-party marketing data about you.

How We Use Your Data

Pak Bet uses your personal data only for legitimate purposes directly related to your use of the platform. The primary purposes are:

  • Account management — creating and maintaining your Pak Bet account, enabling login, managing your balance and processing your gameplay
  • Payment processing — executing deposits and withdrawals in PKR via your chosen Pakistani payment method, and verifying your payment details to prevent fraud
  • Identity verification — confirming your identity and age before processing withdrawals, as required under our responsible gaming and anti-money laundering obligations
  • Customer support — responding to your queries, resolving disputes and handling complaints through our Urdu and English support team
  • Responsible gaming — monitoring your gaming patterns to identify potential signs of problem gambling, and applying limits or exclusions you have requested
  • Security and fraud prevention — detecting and preventing unauthorised account access, duplicate accounts, money laundering and other prohibited conduct
  • Platform improvement — using aggregated, anonymised data to understand how players use Pak Bet and to improve the products and interface
  • Marketing communications — sending you information about promotions and offers, but only if you have explicitly opted in to receive such communications and only via the channels you have consented to

Pak Bet will only send marketing communications to your mobile or email if you have opted in. You can withdraw your marketing consent at any time from your account settings or by emailing support@pakbet.ws. Opting out of marketing does not affect your ability to use the platform.

Legal Basis for Processing

Pak Bet processes your personal data under the following legal grounds:

  • Contract performance — processing your registration data and payment information is necessary to fulfil the agreement between you and Pak Bet when you create an account and place bets or play games
  • Legal obligation — processing your identity documents and transaction records is required to comply with anti-money laundering laws and our responsible gaming commitments
  • Legitimate interests — processing technical data for fraud prevention, security monitoring and platform improvement serves the legitimate interests of Pak Bet and its players without overriding your privacy rights
  • Consent — marketing communications and non-essential cookies are processed only with your explicit consent, which you can withdraw at any time

Sharing Your Data

Pak Bet does not sell, rent or trade your personal information to third parties. We share your data only in the following limited circumstances and only with parties who are contractually obligated to protect it:

Service Providers

Pak Bet works with third-party service providers who support the operation of the platform. These include payment processing partners (Easypaisa, JazzCash, NayaPay, SadaPay and bank partners), identity verification service providers, fraud detection services, cloud hosting and infrastructure providers, and customer support software tools. These providers are permitted to use your data only for the purposes of providing services to Pak Bet and are bound by strict data processing agreements.

Legal Requirements

Pak Bet may disclose your personal data to regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies or courts where required to do so by applicable law, in response to a valid legal request, or where disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of Pak Bet, its players or the public.

Business Transfers

In the unlikely event that Pak Bet undergoes a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, your personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction. You will be notified in advance of such a transfer and of any change in the data controller responsible for your information.

No third-party marketing: Pak Bet will never share your contact details with third-party businesses for them to market their own products or services to you.

Payment Data & PKR Transactions

Because Pak Bet operates exclusively in Pakistani Rupees and processes payments through Pakistani payment methods, your financial data handling deserves specific attention.

When you make a deposit or withdrawal at Pak Bet, the relevant transaction details are passed to the payment provider you have chosen — Easypaisa, JazzCash, NayaPay, SadaPay, your bank or your card issuer. Pak Bet does not store your complete mobile wallet PINs, full card numbers or bank login credentials. Only the reference information necessary to initiate and confirm transactions is retained.

Transaction records — amounts, dates, payment method references and outcomes — are retained for a minimum of seven years to comply with applicable financial record-keeping obligations. This retention is a legal requirement and cannot be shortened at your request.

Pak Bet will never ask you for your Easypaisa or JazzCash PIN, your bank internet banking password or your card CVV via email, live chat or phone. If you receive any such request claiming to be from Pak Bet, do not respond and report it immediately to support@pakbet.ws.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Pak Bet uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on its platform. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help the platform function correctly, remember your preferences and analyse usage patterns.

Cookie Type Purpose Consent Required
Essential Login session maintenance, security tokens, account balance display, bet placement functionality No — required for platform to function
Functional Language preferences, display settings, remembered payment method choices No — improves your experience without tracking
Analytics Aggregated, anonymised usage data to understand which features are most used and improve the platform Yes — opt-in required
Marketing Tracking of promotional campaign effectiveness (only within the Pak Bet platform, not across external sites) Yes — opt-in required

You can manage your cookie preferences from the cookie settings panel accessible in your account settings. Disabling analytics or marketing cookies will not affect your ability to use any feature of Pak Bet.

Data Security

Pak Bet implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration or disclosure. These measures include:

  • TLS (Transport Layer Security) encryption for all data transmitted between your device and Pak Bet's servers
  • Encryption of sensitive stored data, including identity documents and financial references, at rest
  • Access controls ensuring that only authorised Pak Bet staff with a legitimate business need can access personal data
  • Regular security audits and penetration testing of the platform infrastructure
  • Multi-factor authentication options available to all Pak Bet account holders
  • Incident response procedures to detect, contain and notify players in the event of a data security breach

While Pak Bet takes extensive measures to protect your data, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. You play an important role in keeping your account safe by using a strong, unique password and enabling two-factor authentication where available.

Data Retention

Pak Bet retains personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. The general retention periods are summarised in the data table at the top of this page. Key points include:

  • Account and gaming data is retained for the duration of your account and for five years after account closure, to facilitate any regulatory review or dispute
  • Financial transaction records are retained for seven years in compliance with financial record-keeping requirements
  • Marketing preference records are retained until you withdraw consent, after which they are deleted within 30 days
  • Technical logs are retained on a rolling 12-month basis and then automatically deleted

When data is no longer required for its original purpose and no legal retention obligation applies, Pak Bet securely deletes or anonymises it in line with our internal data retention procedures.

Your Data Rights

As a Pak Bet player, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@pakbet.ws with your registered mobile number and the nature of your request.

Right of Access

Right to Rectification

Ask us to correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you. Simple corrections can be made from your account settings.

Right to Erasure

Request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer needed, subject to legal retention obligations — particularly for financial records which must be kept for 7 years.

Right to Restrict Processing

Ask us to pause processing of your data in certain circumstances — for example, while you contest the accuracy of information we hold.

Right to Data Portability

Receive a copy of the personal data you've provided to Pak Bet in a structured, commonly used format suitable for transfer to another service.

Right to Withdraw Consent

Withdraw any consent you have given to Pak Bet — including marketing communications and non-essential cookies — at any time without affecting previous processing.

Response timeline: Pak Bet will acknowledge all data rights requests within 5 working days and provide a full response within 30 calendar days. Where requests are complex, we may extend this by a further 30 days — but we will notify you if this is necessary.

Children's Privacy

Pak Bet is strictly an adults-only platform. Persons under the age of 18 are not permitted to register, deposit or participate in any game or bet on Pak Bet. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18.

If Pak Bet becomes aware that a minor has provided personal data or created an account, we will immediately suspend the account, delete the associated personal data and return any funds in the account subject to verification. Parents or guardians who believe a minor may have accessed Pak Bet should contact us immediately at support@pakbet.ws.

Pak Bet provides parental control information and guidance on our Responsible Gaming page for households where access to online gaming platforms needs to be restricted.

Changes to This Policy

Pak Bet may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, the services we offer or applicable legal requirements. When we make material changes to this policy, we will notify registered players via the email address on their account and display a prominent notice on the platform before the changes take effect.

We will always show the date of the most recent update at the top of this page. Continued use of Pak Bet after an updated Privacy Policy takes effect constitutes your acknowledgment of the revised terms.

If you disagree with any changes to this policy, you should stop using the platform and may close your account by contacting Pak Bet support at support@pakbet.ws.
