Your privacy matters at y988. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what personal information we collect when you use our platform, why we need it, how we store and protect it, and what rights you have over your own data. We have written this in plain English — no legal jargon where we can avoid it — so that every Pakistani player understands what they are agreeing to.
Questions about how y988 handles your data? Contact us at support@y988.ws
y988 operates the online gaming platform at y988.ws. As the operator of this platform, y988 is responsible for the personal data of every player who creates an account, makes a deposit, places a bet, or otherwise interacts with any part of the y988 service. This Privacy Policy applies to all of those interactions.
When you register with y988, you provide us with personal information. We take the responsibility of handling that information seriously. We collect only what we genuinely need, we protect it properly, we do not sell it to anyone, and we give you clear ways to control how your data is used. That is the short version — the sections below explain each of those commitments in detail.
This Privacy Policy should be read alongside y988's Terms and Conditions. By creating a y988 account and using our platform, you confirm that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and that you consent to the use of your data as described here.
Key commitment: y988 will never sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for their own marketing or commercial purposes. Your data is used solely to operate your y988 account and deliver the services you have signed up for.
y988 collects the following categories of personal data from players. We have grouped them clearly so you know exactly what we hold about you at any given time.
Account Registration Data
Financial Data
Gaming Activity Data
Technical Data
Identity Verification Documents
y988 collects your personal data through the following means:
y988 uses the personal data we hold about you for the following specific purposes:
| Purpose | Data Used |
|---|---|
| Creating and managing your y988 account | Name, email, phone number, date of birth, address |
| Verifying your age and identity (mandatory) | CNIC, date of birth, verification documents |
| Processing deposits and withdrawals in PKR | Payment method identifiers, transaction amounts, bank details |
| Settling bets and casino game outcomes | Betting history, game session data, account balance |
| Fraud detection and prevention | IP address, device data, transaction patterns, account activity |
| Responsible gaming monitoring | Betting patterns, session duration, deposit frequency, limit usage |
| Customer support | Account data, communication history, transaction records |
| Sending promotional communications (where consented) | Email address, phone number, gaming preferences |
| Legal and regulatory compliance | Identity data, transaction records, account history |
| Platform improvement and analytics | Anonymised or aggregated usage data |
y988 does not use your personal data for any purpose not listed in the table above without first informing you and, where required, obtaining your consent.
y988 processes your personal data on the following legal bases:
y988 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party. We share your data only in the following limited circumstances and only with parties who are contractually bound to handle it securely and use it only for the specific purposes we define:
y988 will never share your personal data with advertisers, data brokers, marketing agencies, or any other commercial third party for their own use.
All financial transactions on y988 are denominated in Pakistani Rupees (PKR). Because y988 is built specifically for Pakistani players, all payment flows use domestic infrastructure — Easypaisa, JazzCash, NayaPay, SadaPay, IBFT, and Pakistani-issued bank cards. This means your financial data stays within local payment systems rather than passing through international processors in most cases.
y988 does not store full card numbers. When you make a card payment, the transaction is processed by the card network's security layer and y988 receives only a masked reference. Full card details never touch y988's servers directly.
For mobile wallet transactions, y988 receives confirmation of payment from the wallet provider along with the transaction amount and your wallet identifier (such as your mobile number). This is the minimum data required to credit your y988 account. y988 stores these transaction records as required for financial compliance purposes.
Your financial data is never shared with game studios, marketing partners, or any non-payment third party. It is used exclusively for transaction processing, balance management, and financial record-keeping on y988.
y988 retains your personal data for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, taking into account legal and regulatory retention obligations. Specifically:
When data reaches the end of its retention period, y988 deletes it securely from all active and backup systems. Anonymised, aggregated analytics data (which cannot be linked back to you as an individual) may be retained indefinitely for platform improvement purposes.
y988 implements industry-standard technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include:
Despite these measures, no online system is completely invulnerable. y988 cannot guarantee absolute security of data transmitted over the internet. You can reduce your own risk by using a strong, unique password for your y988 account, enabling two-factor authentication, and never sharing your login credentials with anyone.
If you believe your y988 account has been accessed without your permission, contact support at support@y988.ws immediately. We will investigate and secure your account within the hour.
y988 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the platform, personalise your experience, and understand how players interact with the site. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by the y988 website when you visit. Below are the types of cookies y988 uses:
You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies will prevent y988 from functioning correctly. If you have questions about specific cookies used by y988, contact support@y988.ws.
As a y988 player, you have the following rights over your personal data. These rights can be exercised by contacting y988 at support@y988.ws with the subject line "Data Rights Request".
Request a copy of the personal data y988 holds about you. We will provide this in a readable format within 30 days of your request.
If any personal data y988 holds about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct it. Most profile data can be updated directly from your account settings.
Request deletion of your personal data where y988 no longer has a legal or contractual reason to hold it. Note that legal retention obligations (such as anti-money laundering rules) may prevent full erasure during the required retention period.
Ask y988 to restrict how your data is processed in certain circumstances — for example while a dispute about its accuracy is being resolved.
Request that y988 provides your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format so you can transfer it to another provider if you choose to do so.
Where y988 processes your data based on consent — such as for marketing communications — you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.
y988 will respond to all data rights requests within 30 days. Where a request is complex or we receive a large number simultaneously, we may extend this by a further 60 days — we will notify you if this is the case. There is no charge for exercising your data rights.
y988 is strictly an 18+ platform. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. Our registration process includes mandatory age verification checks and we may request CNIC or passport documentation to confirm date of birth at any time.
If y988 becomes aware that a player under 18 has registered an account, that account will be immediately closed, all funds will be refunded to the originating payment method after verification, and all data collected will be deleted from our systems. No exceptions.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has created a y988 account without your knowledge, please contact us immediately at support@y988.ws. We will investigate and take action within 24 hours.
y988 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal obligations, or platform features. The effective date at the top of this page will always reflect when the current version was last updated.
For material changes — changes that significantly affect how we use your data or your rights over it — y988 will notify registered players via the email address associated with their account and/or a prominent notice on the y988 platform. Your continued use of y988 after the effective date of a change constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. If you do not accept the changes, you should stop using y988 and request account closure.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, want to exercise any of your data rights, or wish to raise a concern about how y988 handles your personal data, please contact us:
y988's support team responds in both English and Urdu. All privacy-related requests are handled within 30 days of receipt. If you are not satisfied with y988's response to a privacy concern, you have the right to escalate to the relevant data protection authority applicable in your jurisdiction.
Six concrete ways y988 safeguards the personal data of every Pakistani player on our platform.
All data transmitted between your device and y988's servers is protected with TLS encryption. Sensitive account data stored in our databases is encrypted at rest. Your information is never transmitted in plain text across any part of our infrastructure.
y988 will never sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for commercial gain. Your name, CNIC, contact details, and financial data stay within y988 and the specific service providers needed to run your account — nothing more.
Because y988 processes all transactions in PKR through Pakistani payment infrastructure — Easypaisa, JazzCash, NayaPay, SadaPay, and IBFT — your financial data largely remains within domestic systems rather than flowing through international processors.
Not everyone at y988 can access your data. We enforce role-based access controls that restrict data access to staff members whose job specifically requires it. All access is logged, monitored, and reviewed regularly by our security team.
y988 gives every player six clear data rights — access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and consent withdrawal. Submit a request to support@y988.ws and y988 will respond within 30 days at no cost to you.
Data about your responsible gaming tool usage — deposit limits, self-exclusion — is treated with the highest level of care and confidentiality. It is used only to protect your wellbeing on y988 and is never shared or used for commercial profiling.
Now you know exactly how y988 handles your data — with care, transparency, and full respect for your privacy. Join Pakistan's trusted gaming platform and enjoy cricket betting, Teen Patti, slots, and live casino games with PKR deposits and instant withdrawals.
