At bv998, the privacy and security of your personal data is a fundamental obligation — not an afterthought. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what information we collect from Pakistani players, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, and what rights you hold over your own data.
Your privacy matters. bv998 is committed to processing your personal data lawfully, fairly, and transparently. This Policy applies to all registered Users and visitors of bv998.bio. By creating an account or using any bv998 Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy in its entirety.
bv998 ("we", "us", "our") operates the online betting and casino platform accessible at bv998.bio. In the course of providing our Services — including cricket sportsbook betting, live casino, video slots, bingo, and payment processing — bv998 necessarily collects, processes, stores, and in certain circumstances shares personal data relating to our Users.
This Privacy Policy describes our practices in relation to personal data in detail. It is written in plain English so that every Pakistani player on our platform can clearly understand how their information is handled. Where technical or legal language is unavoidable, we have provided plain-language explanations alongside it.
This Policy should be read alongside our Terms & Conditions and our Responsible Gaming page, both of which form part of your agreement with bv998.

bv998 respects your right to control how your personal information is used. Here is a plain-English summary of every right available to you.
You have the right to request a copy of all personal data bv998 holds about you, along with information about how and why it is being processed. We will respond to access requests within 30 days.
If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct it promptly. You can update most contact details directly from your account dashboard.
You may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to our legal retention obligations under AML and financial regulations.
You have the right to ask bv998 to restrict processing of your personal data in certain circumstances — for example, while the accuracy of data is being contested or while an objection is being considered.
Where processing is based on your consent or on contractual necessity, you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format for transfer to another service.
You have the right to object to processing of your personal data where bv998 relies on legitimate interests as the legal basis. You may also object at any time to the use of your data for direct marketing purposes.
How to exercise your rights: Contact our support team via live chat inside your bv998 account dashboard, or email us at [email protected] (plain text — not a clickable link). We will acknowledge your request within 5 business days and respond fully within 30 days. Some requests may take longer in complex cases, in which case we will notify you of the extension and the reason for it.
bv998 is strictly an adults-only platform. You must be at least 21 years of age to register an account and use any bv998 Service. bv998 does not knowingly collect, store, or process personal data from individuals under the age of 21.
As part of the registration process, bv998 requires all new Users to confirm their date of birth and, where required, to submit a copy of a government-issued identity document (such as a Pakistani CNIC) to verify their age. Accounts where the User is found to be underage will be immediately closed and any funds held will be dealt with in accordance with our Terms & Conditions.
If a parent or guardian believes that a minor has provided personal data to bv998 without their knowledge, please contact our support team immediately. Upon verification, bv998 will take steps to delete that data and close the associated account without delay.
Strictly 21+ Only. bv998 employs age verification checks at registration and at the point of first withdrawal. Any User found to be under 21 years of age will have their account permanently closed and all activity voided. This is a non-negotiable policy with no exceptions.
12.1 Right to Update. bv998 reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable law, or platform functionality. The most current version of this Policy will always be published at bv998.bio/privacy-policy with a revised effective date.
12.2 Notification of Material Changes. Where a proposed change is material — meaning it substantively affects how we use your personal data or reduces your privacy protections — bv998 will provide advance notice to all registered Users via email and/or a prominent on-platform notification before the change takes effect. You will be given a reasonable opportunity to review the updated Policy before it applies to you.
12.3 Continued Use. Your continued use of bv998 after the effective date of any updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acknowledgement of the revised Policy. If you do not agree with any change, you may close your account by contacting our support team before the effective date of the amendment.
12.4 Version History. bv998 maintains a version history of this Privacy Policy. If you would like to review a previous version, please contact our support team and we will provide it upon request.

Six pillars of data protection that every Pakistani bv998 player benefits from, automatically.
Every piece of data exchanged between your browser or mobile device and bv998.bio travels over a TLS-encrypted connection. Your PKR transaction details, login credentials, and personal information are never transmitted in plain text.
bv998 never stores your full Visa or Mastercard details on our own servers. All card transactions are routed through PCI-DSS certified payment gateways. We only hold a tokenised reference — your actual card number is never in our database.
bv998 categorically does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to data brokers, advertisers, or any unrelated third parties. Data sharing is restricted to essential service partners who are bound by data processing agreements.
Our identity verification process exists to protect you as much as it protects the platform. Confirming your CNIC and age ensures no one else can open an account in your name, and that every withdrawal goes only to your verified payment instruments.
bv998 follows a data minimisation principle — we only collect personal data that is genuinely necessary to operate our services, comply with regulations, and keep your account secure. We do not collect data speculatively or unnecessarily.
Your data is not kept forever. bv998 applies documented retention schedules to every category of personal data. Once the retention period expires, data is securely deleted or anonymised so it can never be traced back to you.
Your data is protected. Your identity is secure. Your rights are respected. Join Pakistan's dedicated cricket betting and casino platform today — in PKR, with JazzCash and EasyPaisa.
Must be 21+ to register and play. Please gamble responsibly. bv998.bio
