1. Who We Are

phpplay is a mobile entertainment platform operated for players based in the Philippines, offering sports betting, online slots, bingo, and casino-style games. When you create an account and use our services, phpplay acts as the data controller responsible for your personal information. We are committed to handling your data with transparency, care, and full respect for your rights under applicable Philippine law. This Privacy Policy applies to all users who access phpplay through any device, including mobile phones, tablets, and desktop browsers. If you have any questions about how we handle your data, the contact details at the bottom of this page are always available to you.

2. What Information We Collect

When you register for a phpplay account, we collect the personal details you provide directly, including your full name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, and residential address in the Philippines. We also collect a copy of a valid government-issued ID as part of our identity verification process, which is required before withdrawals can be processed. During normal use of the platform, we automatically collect technical data such as your device type, operating system, browser version, IP address, and session activity logs. Payment-related information — including your preferred payment method and transaction history — is recorded to process deposits and withdrawals accurately and securely. We may also collect information you provide when you contact our support team, respond to surveys, or participate in promotions listed on our Promotions page.

  • Registration details: name, date of birth, email, mobile number, address
  • Identity documents for KYC verification
  • Device and session data collected automatically
  • Payment method details and transaction records
  • Support correspondence and survey responses

3. How We Use Your Data

The primary purpose of collecting your personal information is to operate your phpplay account, process your transactions, and deliver the gaming services you have signed up for. We use your identity and contact details to verify your eligibility to play, confirm your age is at or above 21 years old, and comply with our regulatory obligations in the Philippines. Transaction data is used to process deposits and withdrawals in Philippine pesos (₱) and to detect any unusual or potentially fraudulent activity on your account. Technical and session data helps us maintain platform stability, improve performance on mobile devices, and personalise your experience based on the games and features you use most. We may also use your contact details to send you important account notifications, security alerts, and — where you have opted in — information about relevant promotions available on phpplay.

4. Who We Share Your Data With

phpplay does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for their own marketing purposes. We share your data only where it is strictly necessary to deliver our services or meet our legal obligations. Trusted service providers — such as payment processors, identity verification partners, and cloud infrastructure providers — may receive limited access to your data solely to perform their contracted functions on our behalf. All such partners are bound by confidentiality agreements and are prohibited from using your data for any purpose beyond what phpplay has authorised. Where required by Philippine law or a valid regulatory request, we may disclose your information to government authorities, law enforcement agencies, or gaming regulators. In the event of a business restructure or acquisition, your data may be transferred to a successor entity, and you will be notified of any such change in advance.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as your phpplay account remains active and for a reasonable period thereafter, as required by our legal and regulatory obligations in the Philippines. Account records, transaction histories, and identity verification documents are typically kept for a minimum of five years following account closure to satisfy anti-money laundering and gaming compliance requirements. Technical logs and session data are retained for shorter periods and are routinely purged once they are no longer needed for security monitoring or platform improvement purposes. If you request the deletion of your account, we will remove or anonymise your personal data to the extent permitted by law, and we will confirm the outcome of your request in writing. Data that we are legally required to retain will be held securely and will not be used for any active processing beyond compliance purposes.

6. Your Rights as a Player

As a player based in the Philippines, you have the right to access the personal data phpplay holds about you and to request a copy of that information at any time. You may also ask us to correct any inaccurate or incomplete data on your account, and we will action such requests promptly. Where processing is based on your consent — such as receiving promotional communications — you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing. You may request the deletion of your personal data, subject to our legal retention obligations described above. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the email address shown in the footer of this page, and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe. We are committed to resolving all data-related enquiries fairly and transparently.

7. Cookies and Tracking

phpplay uses cookies and similar technologies to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and ensure the platform functions correctly across sessions. Essential cookies are required for the platform to operate and cannot be disabled without affecting your ability to use the service. We may also use analytics cookies to understand how players navigate the platform, which pages are most visited, and where technical issues occur — this data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings at any time. Disabling non-essential cookies will not prevent you from accessing your account or placing bets, but some personalisation features may be limited. We do not use cookies to serve third-party advertising or to track your activity on other websites.

8. Changes to This Policy

phpplay may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, technology, or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you directly via email or an in-platform message. We encourage you to review this page periodically so you are always aware of how your data is being handled. Continued use of the platform after any changes have been posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy. If you disagree with any update, you should stop using phpplay and contact us to discuss your options. All previous versions of this policy are available upon request.
