49ji Privacy Policy
At 49ji, your personal data is handled with the same care and precision we bring to everything else on this platform. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the rights you hold as a registered player or visitor under Philippine data protection law.
Six Pillars of 49ji's Privacy Practice
Before you read the full policy below, here is a plain-language overview of how 49ji protects your personal information across every interaction on the platform.
Encrypted Data Storage
All personal information collected by 49ji is stored using industry-standard 256-bit SSL encryption. Your account credentials, payment details, and identity documents are kept in secure, access-controlled environments that comply with PAGCOR data security requirements.
Data Collected Only for a Purpose
49ji only collects personal data that is strictly necessary for account registration, identity verification, payment processing, fraud prevention, and regulatory compliance. We do not collect data for the sake of it, and we do not sell your information to third-party marketers.
PAGCOR & NPC Compliance
49ji operates under a PAGCOR license and complies fully with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) administered by the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines. Your rights under Philippine law are fully recognized and enforceable.
No Selling of Personal Data
49ji does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to external advertisers or data brokers. Any sharing of data with third parties is limited to verified service providers who support 49ji's platform operations, and such sharing is governed by strict data processing agreements.
Player Control Over Data
Registered 49ji players have the right to access, correct, update, and request deletion of their personal data at any time. You can also withdraw consent for marketing communications and restrict certain types of data processing — all manageable by contacting our support team.
Defined Retention Periods
49ji retains personal data only for as long as it is necessary for the purpose it was collected, or as required by PAGCOR regulations and Philippine anti-money laundering law. Once the retention period lapses, your data is securely deleted or anonymized.
Summary: This Privacy Policy describes how 49ji collects, processes, stores, and protects your personal data in accordance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and PAGCOR's data protection requirements. By registering an account on 49ji or continuing to use the platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.
Who We Are
49ji is a PAGCOR-regulated online casino and sports betting platform accessible at 49ji.net, serving registered players across the Philippines. For the purposes of the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and this Privacy Policy, 49ji acts as the Personal Information Controller (PIC) — the entity that determines the purposes and means of processing your personal data.
49ji is committed to respecting the privacy of every Filipino player who visits, registers with, or interacts with our platform. This policy applies to all data processing activities carried out by 49ji in connection with the operation of the 49ji website, mobile-optimized platform, customer support channels, and any related communications.
If you have any questions about how your data is handled, you may contact our Data Protection Officer (DPO) at any time using the contact details provided in Section 13 of this policy. All inquiries are handled in accordance with the procedures set out under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and its implementing rules and regulations.
Data We Collect
49ji collects personal data that is necessary, proportionate, and relevant to the purposes described in this policy. The categories of personal data we collect include the following:
2.1 Registration and Identity Data
When you create a 49ji account, we collect your full legal name, date of birth, residential address in the Philippines, email address, and mobile number registered under a Philippine network. This information is used to create and administer your account and to fulfill our PAGCOR-mandated Know Your Customer (KYC) obligations.
2.2 Identity Verification Documents
As required under PAGCOR regulations and the Anti-Money Laundering Act, 49ji collects copies of government-issued identification documents for KYC verification prior to processing any withdrawal. Acceptable documents include a valid Philippine passport, UMID card, SSS ID, PhilHealth ID, voter's ID, or driver's license. Where enhanced due diligence is required, proof of source of funds may also be requested.
2.3 Financial and Transaction Data
49ji collects payment method details, deposit and withdrawal transaction records, account balances, bonus histories, and associated GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, or Metrobank account reference details. Full card or bank account numbers are never stored on 49ji servers — payment processing is handled by PCI-DSS compliant third-party payment processors.
2.4 Gaming Activity Data
We collect detailed records of your gaming activity on the 49ji platform, including game sessions, bet amounts, wins and losses, game titles played, and timestamps. This data is used for regulatory reporting to PAGCOR, responsible gaming monitoring, bonus management, and fraud detection.
2.5 Technical and Device Data
49ji automatically collects technical data when you access the platform, including your IP address, device type and operating system, browser type and version, screen resolution, and session timestamps. This data supports platform security, fraud prevention, and service optimization.
2.6 Communications Data
When you contact 49ji support via email or through our support portal, we retain records of that correspondence including the content of messages, timestamps, and resolution outcomes. This is necessary for quality assurance, dispute resolution, and regulatory compliance.
| Data Category | Examples | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Identity Data | Full name, date of birth, address | Account creation, KYC compliance |
| Verification Documents | Passport, UMID, SSS ID | KYC, AML compliance, PAGCOR reporting |
| Financial Data | GCash reference, BPI/BDO account name | Deposit & withdrawal processing |
| Gaming Activity | Bet history, game sessions, win/loss records | Regulatory reporting, responsible gaming |
| Technical Data | IP address, device type, browser | Security, fraud detection, optimization |
| Communications | Support emails, dispute records | Customer service, dispute resolution |
How We Collect Your Data
49ji collects personal data through several distinct channels, each of which is outlined below. In all cases, data collection is carried out transparently and in compliance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012.
- Direct Registration: Data you provide when creating a 49ji account, completing the KYC verification process, or updating your account profile.
- Transaction Activity: Data generated automatically when you make a deposit, request a withdrawal, claim a bonus, or complete any financial transaction on the platform.
- Platform Interaction: Data generated when you play games, place sports bets, navigate the website, or interact with the 49ji interface — collected via server logs, analytics tools, and session tracking.
- Customer Support Contact: Data you provide when reaching out to 49ji support via email or the support portal, including your account details and the content of your inquiry.
- Cookies and Similar Technologies: Data collected automatically through cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies as described in Section 7 of this policy.
- Third-Party Verification Services: Data received from identity verification service providers and payment processors engaged by 49ji for KYC and AML compliance purposes.
Consent: Where 49ji relies on your consent as the legal basis for collecting or processing your personal data (for example, for marketing communications), you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to the withdrawal.
How We Use Your Data
49ji uses the personal data it collects exclusively for the purposes described below. We do not use your data in any manner that is incompatible with these stated purposes without obtaining your prior consent or as otherwise required by Philippine law.
4.1 Account Administration
Your registration data is used to create, manage, and maintain your 49ji account, verify your identity and age (21+ requirement), authenticate your logins, and communicate important account-related information to you via your registered email address and mobile number.
4.2 Regulatory Compliance
49ji is legally required by PAGCOR and Philippine law to process certain categories of your personal data for compliance purposes. This includes verifying that all players are 21 years of age or older, conducting KYC identity verification, complying with the Anti-Money Laundering Act (Republic Act No. 9160), and submitting required reports to PAGCOR as the licensing authority. These processing activities are carried out under legal obligation and cannot be opted out of while you hold an active 49ji account.
4.3 Payment Processing
Financial and transaction data is processed to facilitate your deposits and withdrawals through GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, and Metrobank, to verify that withdrawals are processed to the same payment source as deposits in compliance with AML requirements, and to maintain accurate financial records as required under Philippine accounting and regulatory obligations.
4.4 Fraud Prevention and Platform Security
Technical data including IP addresses, device identifiers, and session patterns is analyzed to detect and prevent fraudulent activity, account takeovers, bonus abuse, collusion, and unauthorized access. 49ji uses automated and manual processes to monitor the platform for suspicious patterns and may suspend accounts pending investigation where fraud indicators are identified.
4.5 Responsible Gaming
Gaming activity data is monitored to support 49ji's responsible gaming obligations under PAGCOR rules. This includes identifying patterns that may indicate problem gambling, triggering mandatory responsible gaming interventions as required by PAGCOR, and administering player-requested tools such as deposit limits, session time limits, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion.
4.6 Marketing Communications
With your consent, 49ji may use your email address and mobile number to send you promotional offers, bonus notifications, and platform updates relevant to your gaming preferences. You may withdraw your marketing consent at any time by contacting [email protected] or using the unsubscribe mechanism in any marketing email we send you. Withdrawing marketing consent does not affect your ability to use the 49ji platform.
4.7 Platform Improvement
Aggregated and anonymized usage data is used to understand how players interact with the 49ji platform, identify areas for improvement, optimize game load times and navigation, and develop new features. This processing uses data that cannot be traced back to individual players and does not affect your privacy rights.
Legal Basis for Processing
Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, 49ji must have a valid legal basis for each category of personal data processing it undertakes. The legal bases applicable to 49ji's data processing activities are as follows:
| Processing Activity | Legal Basis |
|---|---|
| Account registration and management | Performance of a contract (Terms & Conditions agreement) |
| KYC identity and age verification | Legal obligation (PAGCOR licensing requirements) |
| Deposit and withdrawal processing | Performance of a contract |
| AML transaction monitoring | Legal obligation (Republic Act No. 9160) |
| Fraud prevention and security monitoring | Legitimate interest (platform security and integrity) |
| Responsible gaming monitoring | Legal obligation (PAGCOR responsible gaming requirements) |
| Marketing communications | Consent (freely given and withdrawable at any time) |
| Platform analytics and improvement | Legitimate interest (anonymized data only) |
| Regulatory reporting to PAGCOR | Legal obligation |
Sharing Your Data
49ji does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for commercial purposes. Your data is shared only in the limited circumstances described below, and always subject to appropriate data protection safeguards.
6.1 Payment Processors
49ji shares financial and identity data with PCI-DSS compliant payment processing partners who facilitate GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, and Metrobank transactions on the platform. These processors act as Personal Information Processors (PIPs) under the Data Privacy Act and are contractually bound to process data only for the purpose of completing your requested transactions.
6.2 Identity Verification Providers
For KYC compliance, 49ji may engage accredited identity verification service providers who assist in verifying government-issued identification documents. These providers are bound by strict data processing agreements and are permitted to use your data only for verification purposes on 49ji's behalf.
6.3 PAGCOR and Regulatory Authorities
As a PAGCOR-licensed operator, 49ji is obligated to submit player data, transaction records, and gaming activity reports to PAGCOR as required under the terms of its operating license. 49ji may also be required to disclose personal data to other Philippine government agencies, law enforcement bodies, or courts in response to lawful orders or subpoenas.
6.4 Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC)
Under Republic Act No. 9160, 49ji may be required to report covered transactions and suspicious transaction reports to the Anti-Money Laundering Council of the Philippines. Such reporting is a legal obligation and does not require your prior consent.
6.5 Technology Service Providers
49ji uses third-party technology providers for cloud hosting, cybersecurity monitoring, customer support platform operations, and email delivery. These providers are engaged as PIPs and are contractually restricted from using your data for any purpose other than providing services to 49ji.
No International Transfers: 49ji's primary data processing operations are conducted within the Philippines. Where any service provider operates data centers outside the Philippines, 49ji ensures that equivalent data protection standards are applied through contractual mechanisms consistent with the Data Privacy Act's requirements for cross-border data transfers.
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
49ji uses cookies and similar technologies to ensure the platform functions correctly, to maintain your logged-in session, to remember your preferences, and to gather aggregated analytics data that helps us improve the platform experience for all Filipino players.
7.1 Types of Cookies Used
- Essential Cookies: Required for the platform to function. These include session authentication cookies that keep you logged in during your gaming session and security tokens that protect your account from cross-site request forgery attacks. These cannot be disabled without preventing platform access.
- Functional Cookies: Remember your preferences such as display language, preferred payment method display, and responsible gaming settings you have configured. These are set with your implied consent when you configure platform preferences.
- Analytics Cookies: Collect anonymized and aggregated data about how players navigate the 49ji platform — which pages are visited most, how long sessions last, and where players encounter errors. This data is used solely to improve the platform and does not identify individual users.
- Security Cookies: Used by 49ji's fraud prevention systems to identify unusual login patterns, detect multiple account creation from the same device, and flag potentially compromised sessions for review.
7.2 Managing Cookies
You can control cookie settings through your web browser's privacy preferences. Most modern browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, though disabling essential cookies will prevent you from logging in to or using the 49ji platform. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use any platform features. Refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions on managing cookie preferences.
No Third-Party Advertising Cookies: 49ji does not use third-party advertising or retargeting cookies. We do not allow external advertisers to track your behavior across other websites using cookies placed during your 49ji session.
Data Retention
49ji retains personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by PAGCOR regulations and applicable Philippine law. The retention periods below reflect both operational requirements and mandatory regulatory obligations.
| Data Category | Retention Period | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Account and identity data | Duration of account + 5 years post-closure | PAGCOR licensing obligation |
| KYC verification documents | Duration of account + 5 years post-closure | AML Act (RA 9160) requirement |
| Financial transaction records | 10 years from date of transaction | AML Act and PAGCOR reporting obligations |
| Gaming activity records | 5 years from date of activity | PAGCOR compliance and dispute resolution |
| Customer support communications | 3 years from date of last communication | Dispute resolution and quality assurance |
| Technical and device logs | 12 months from date of collection | Security monitoring and fraud prevention |
| Marketing consent records | Until consent is withdrawn + 1 year | Evidence of lawful marketing activity |
At the end of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or permanently anonymized so that it can no longer be associated with any individual player. Data subject to ongoing PAGCOR investigations or legal proceedings will be retained until the matter is fully resolved, regardless of the standard retention period.
Security Measures
49ji implements technical and organizational security measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the personal data we process and the risks posed by unauthorized access, disclosure, or destruction. These measures are reviewed and updated regularly in line with evolving cybersecurity standards and PAGCOR requirements.
9.1 Technical Security Controls
- 256-bit SSL/TLS Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and 49ji servers is encrypted using industry-standard TLS protocols. The padlock indicator in your browser confirms that your connection is secure at all times during your session.
- Encrypted Data Storage: Sensitive personal data including identity documents and financial records are stored in encrypted form within access-controlled server environments. Encryption keys are managed separately from the data they protect.
- Access Controls: Access to personal data within 49ji's systems is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. Staff members can only access the categories of data required to perform their specific job functions, and all access events are logged for audit purposes.
- Two-Factor Authentication: Administrative access to 49ji's back-end systems requires multi-factor authentication. Players are encouraged to enable any available account security features on their own accounts to further protect their data.
- Intrusion Detection and Monitoring: 49ji's infrastructure is protected by continuous security monitoring systems that detect and alert on suspicious access attempts, unusual data access patterns, and potential breach indicators in real time.
9.2 Organizational Security Measures
- Staff Training: All 49ji staff with access to personal data receive mandatory data protection training on joining and at regular intervals thereafter, covering the requirements of the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and 49ji's internal data handling procedures.
- Data Protection Officer: 49ji has appointed a designated Data Protection Officer (DPO) responsible for overseeing compliance with the Data Privacy Act and this Privacy Policy, and for serving as the primary point of contact for player privacy inquiries and NPC communications.
- Vendor Due Diligence: Third-party service providers with access to 49ji player data are assessed for data security compliance before engagement and are required to maintain security standards consistent with 49ji's own requirements throughout the term of the engagement.
Security Incidents: In the event of a personal data breach that poses a real risk of serious harm to affected players, 49ji will notify the National Privacy Commission (NPC) within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, and will notify affected players without undue delay, as required under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and NPC Circular No. 16-03.

Minors & Age Policy
49ji is strictly an adult gaming platform. In accordance with PAGCOR regulations and Philippine law, all gambling activities on the 49ji platform are restricted to individuals who are 21 years of age or older. This age restriction is non-negotiable and is enforced at the point of registration through our KYC identity and age verification process.
49ji does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. Age verification is conducted as a mandatory step in the account registration process, and accounts that cannot be verified as belonging to a player aged 21 or older will not be approved for real-money gaming activity.
If 49ji becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under the age of 21 — whether through fraudulent registration or any other means — the account will be immediately suspended, all funds will be handled in accordance with PAGCOR's requirements for underage player accounts, and the personal data involved will be deleted as promptly as regulatory obligations permit.
21+ Age Restriction: If you are aware that a person under 21 years of age has registered or is using a 49ji account, please report this immediately to our support team at [email protected]. 49ji takes underage gambling extremely seriously and will act on all reports without delay.
Parents and guardians are encouraged to make use of parental control software and internet filtering tools to prevent minors from accessing online gambling platforms. 49ji supports initiatives that protect young people from gambling-related harm and is committed to full compliance with PAGCOR's responsible gaming framework in this regard.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
49ji reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, updates to Philippine data protection law or PAGCOR regulations, or improvements to our platform security and privacy controls. The "Last Updated" date displayed at the top of this page will always reflect the date of the most recent revision.
Where changes are material — that is, where they significantly affect your rights, the categories of data we collect, or the purposes for which we use your data — 49ji will notify registered players via the email address associated with their account at least fourteen (14) days before the changes take effect, where reasonably practicable.
Minor amendments such as typographical corrections, clarifications of existing provisions, or updates required to reflect changes in Philippine law may be made immediately without advance notice. Continued use of the 49ji platform after the effective date of any amendment constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
Stay Updated: We recommend reviewing this Privacy Policy periodically, particularly after receiving any notification of changes. The current version of this policy is always available at 49ji.net/privacy-policy. Previous versions are available on request from our Data Protection Officer.
