2How PH Casinos collects your data
PH Casinos collects data through three main channels.
- Directly from you: When you fill out the registration form, submit a verification document, make a deposit, place a wager, contact support, set account preferences, or respond to a PH Casinos survey.
- Automatically during use: Our servers, cookies, and tracking pixels record technical data including IP addresses, device information, and session activity each time you visit or use PH Casinos.
- From third parties: Payment processors such as GCash, Maya, and Philippine banks confirm transaction status. Identity verification providers confirm whether a submitted document is valid. Fraud detection partners flag suspicious patterns. These third parties send PH Casinos only what is necessary for the specific task.
3Why PH Casinos uses your personal data
Every use of your personal data by PH Casinos is tied to a lawful basis under the Data Privacy Act. The main purposes are:
- Contract performance: Operating your account, processing GCash or Maya deposits, releasing withdrawals, providing game access, and delivering customer support.
- Legal obligations: Age verification, identity checks, anti-moneylaundering records, transaction reporting, and regulatory compliance required of a licensed gaming operator in the Philippines.
- Legitimate interests: Fraud prevention, security monitoring, platform improvement, responsible gaming monitoring, and resolving disputes – provided these do not override your data rights.
- Consent: Where PH Casinos sends optional marketing communications by SMS or email, this is only done where you have actively opted in. You can withdraw consent at any time from your account settings or by contacting support.
4Who PH Casinos shares your data with
PH Casinos does not sell your personal information. We share data only when a third party is directly involved in delivering or securing the PH Casinos service, and only to the extent necessary for their specific role.
- Payment processors: GCash, Maya, GrabPay, Coins.ph, InstaPay and PESONet networks, BDO, BPI, UnionBank, and Visa/Mastercard networks – to authorise and settle transactions.
- Game and software providers: JILI and live dealer studios – to deliver game outcomes and ensure fair play certification.
- Identity and fraud verification services: To confirm document authenticity and detect unusual account behaviour.
- Hosting and infrastructure providers: Cloud and server providers who store and process PH Casinos data under strict data processing agreements.
- Regulators and law enforcement: Where legally required, such as orders from Philippine courts, the National Privacy Commission, or an authorised gaming regulator.
All third parties handling PH Casinos player data are required to maintain appropriate technical and organisational security measures and to use the data only for the task assigned to them.
5International data transfers
Some PH Casinos service providers, including game technology partners and certain cloud infrastructure components, are based outside the Philippines. Where personal data is transferred internationally, PH Casinos requires that receiving parties provide a level of protection at least equivalent to what the Philippine Data Privacy Act requires. This may be achieved through contractual clauses, the recipient's jurisdiction comparable laws, or other recognised mechanisms.
You may ask PH Casinos what safeguards are in place for any specific international transfer by contacting support@phcasinos.app.
6How long PH Casinos keeps your data
PH Casinos retains personal data for as long as is necessary for the original collection purpose or as required by Philippine law. Standard retention periods are:
- Account and identity records: Duration of the active account, plus five years after account closure (anti-money-laundering and gaming regulatory requirements).
- Transaction records: Ten years from the transaction date, in line with Philippine accounting and regulatory rules.
- Gaming session data: Three years from the session date for dispute resolution and compliance purposes.
- Support communications: Two years from the date of the last message in a support thread.
- Marketing opt-in records: Duration of consent plus one year to demonstrate compliance.
When the applicable retention period expires, PH Casinos securely deletes or irreversibly anonymises the relevant records so they can no longer be linked to you.
7Cookies and site tracking
PH Casinos uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to keep sessions active, detect fraud, remember your preferences, and understand how players use the site so we can improve it. There are three categories in use:
- Strictly necessary cookies: Required for the platform to function – login sessions, security tokens, and cashier state. These cannot be disabled.
- Functional cookies: Remember your language, display preferences, and responsible gaming settings between visits.
- Analytics cookies: Collect anonymised usage data that helps PH Casinos understand which pages and features are most useful to Filipino players. No personal identity is stored in analytics records.
PH Casinos does not use third-party advertising cookies or share cookie data with ad networks. You can manage non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent PH Casinos from functioning correctly.
8Your data rights as a PH Casinos account holder

Right to Correction
Ask PH Casinos to update inaccurate or incomplete personal information your account record.
Right to Erasure
Request deletion of personal data where it is no longer needed for the purpose it was collected, subject to legal retention obligations.
Right to Object
Object to PH Casinos processing your data on legitimate-interest grounds, including for marketing. We will stop unless we have compelling legal grounds to continue.
Right to Data Portability
Request a machine-readable copy of personal data you provided to PH Casinos so you can transfer it to another service if you choose.
Right to Complain

To exercise any of these rights, email support@phcasinos.app with your registered account details and a clear description of your request. PH Casinos will respond within 15 business days and may need to verify your identity before releasing or modifying records.
9Children and minors
PH Casinos is strictly for persons aged 21 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 21. Our registration process requires date-of-birth confirmation and we may request a valid Philippine government-issued ID to verify age.
If PH Casinos discovers that a minor has registered an account or submitted personal data, the account will be closed immediately and any personal data associated with that account will be securely deleted, subject to our anti-money-laundering obligations where applicable. If you believe a minor may have accessed PH Casinos, contact support@phcasinos.app immediately so we can investigate and act promptly.
10How PH Casinos keeps your data secure
PH Casinos applies technical and organisational security measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or alteration. Specific measures include:
- 256-bit SSL encryption on all connections between player devices and PH Casinos servers
- Access controls that restrict internal staff access to player data based on role and necessity
- Hashing and salting of account passwords – PH Casinos staff cannot read your password
- Regular security reviews and vulnerability assessments of the platform
- Two-factor authentication available for all accounts to add an extra login layer
- Automated fraud monitoring that flags unusual transaction patterns for review before funds are released
No system is completely immune from risk. If PH Casinos becomes aware of a data breach that creates a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the National Privacy Commission within 72 hours and inform affected account holders as soon as practically possible.
11Changes to the PH Casinos Privacy Policy
PH Casinos may update this Privacy Policy when new services are added, when payment methods change, when legal requirements are updated, or when security practices evolve. The effective date at the top of this page shows when the current version was adopted.
Material changes – those that significantly affect how we use your personal data or your rights over it – will be communicated to account holders through the PH Casinos website, account notifications, or by SMS to your registered mobile number before taking effect. Continued use of PH Casinos after the effective date of an updated policy constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
