26bet Privacy Policy —
How We Handle Your Personal Data
At 26bet, your privacy matters as much as your next big win. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what personal data we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the rights you have over your own information as a player on the 26bet platform.
Our Commitments
How 26bet Protects Your Privacy
These six principles define our approach to data privacy. They underpin every decision we make about how your personal information is collected, stored, and used on the 26bet platform.
End-to-End Encryption
All data transmitted between your device and the 26bet platform is protected by 256-bit SSL encryption. This ensures that your personal details, payment information, and login credentials cannot be intercepted by any third party during transmission.
We Never Sell Your Data
26bet does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any marketing company, data broker, or third-party advertiser. Your data is used exclusively to operate and improve the 26bet platform and to meet our legal obligations.
You Control Your Data
You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of any personal data we hold about you. Simply contact our privacy team at [email protected] and we will process your request promptly, typically within seven business days.
Minimal Data Collection
26bet collects only the personal data that is strictly necessary to operate the platform, verify your identity, process payments, and comply with anti-money laundering requirements. We do not collect data speculatively or for purposes beyond those stated in this policy.
Clear Retention Limits
We do not keep your personal data for longer than necessary. Account data is retained for the duration of your registration and for a defined period after account closure as required by applicable regulations. After that period, your data is securely deleted or anonymised.
Opt-Out of Marketing
If you have consented to receive promotional communications from 26bet, you may withdraw that consent at any time by updating your notification preferences inside your account dashboard or by contacting our support team. Withdrawal of consent does not affect your ability to use the platform.
Section 1
Data We Collect
26bet collects personal data from you in two ways: information you provide directly when you register and use the platform, and information we collect automatically as you navigate the site. The following table summarises the categories of data we collect and the primary reason for each.
| Data Category | Examples | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Identity Data | Full name, date of birth, National ID number, passport number | Account registration, KYC verification, age confirmation |
| Contact Data | Email address, mobile phone number, residential address | Account communications, support, notifications |
| Financial Data | bKash/Nagad account numbers, bank account details, transaction history | Payment processing, withdrawal verification, fraud prevention |
| Usage Data | Pages visited, games played, bet amounts, session duration | Platform improvement, responsible gaming monitoring |
| Technical Data | IP address, device type, browser, operating system, time zone | Security, fraud detection, platform optimisation |
| Communications Data | Live chat transcripts, support emails, feedback submissions | Customer support, quality assurance, dispute resolution |
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal data such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, genetic data, or health information unless it is voluntarily provided by you in the context of a responsible gaming support request. In that case, such information is handled with the highest level of confidentiality and used solely for the purpose of providing appropriate support.
26bet does not collect personal data from individuals we know to be under the age of 18. If we become aware that a minor has provided personal data to us, we will delete that data immediately and close the associated account.
Section 2
How We Use Your Data
26bet uses the personal data we collect for the following specific purposes. We rely on one or more lawful bases for each type of processing activity, including contractual necessity, legal obligation, legitimate interest, and — where required — your explicit consent.
- Account management: To create, maintain, and manage your 26bet player account, including processing your registration details and keeping your profile up to date.
- Identity verification (KYC): To verify your identity and age in compliance with our anti-money laundering and responsible gaming obligations. This process is mandatory for all players seeking to make withdrawals or access higher deposit limits.
- Payment processing: To process your deposits and withdrawals via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, bank transfer, or other supported payment channels, and to detect and prevent payment fraud.
- Customer support: To respond to your queries, resolve disputes, investigate complaints, and provide assistance through our live chat and email support channels.
- Responsible gaming monitoring: To identify patterns of play that may indicate problem gambling behaviour, and to apply any deposit limits, time-out periods, or self-exclusion measures you have requested.
- Security and fraud prevention: To protect the integrity of the 26bet platform, detect suspicious activity, investigate potential breaches, and prevent unauthorised access to player accounts.
- Marketing communications (with consent): To send you promotional offers, bonus notifications, and updates about new games or features at 26bet, where you have provided your explicit consent to receive such communications.
- Platform improvement: To analyse how players use the 26bet platform so that we can improve navigation, game selection, performance, and overall user experience.
We will not use your personal data for any purpose that is incompatible with those listed above without first obtaining your consent or establishing a new lawful basis for that processing activity. If you have questions about why we are processing your data in a specific way, contact our support team.
Section 3
Data Sharing & Third Parties
26bet does not sell, rent, or disclose your personal data to third parties for their own commercial purposes. However, in order to operate the platform and fulfil our legal obligations, we share data with a limited number of trusted third-party service providers and partners under strict contractual conditions. The categories of third parties with whom we may share your data are as follows:
- Payment processors: bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Dutch-Bangla Bank, City Bank, and other payment partners receive the minimum data necessary to process your transactions securely.
- Identity verification providers: We use third-party KYC and AML screening services to verify the identity of players. These providers receive your identity documents and personal details solely for verification purposes.
- Game software providers: Certified studios such as Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, and Ezugi may receive session data (such as bet amounts and game history) to facilitate game delivery and resolve technical disputes.
- IT infrastructure and hosting providers: Our platform is hosted on secure cloud servers. Infrastructure providers have access only to the technical data necessary to maintain server operations and do not use this data for any independent purpose.
- Analytics services: We use privacy-compliant analytics tools to understand aggregate user behaviour on the platform. These services process data in anonymised or pseudonymised form.
- Legal and regulatory authorities: Where required by applicable law, court order, or regulatory direction, we may disclose your personal data to law enforcement agencies, financial regulators, or other governmental bodies.
All third-party service providers engaged by 26bet are required to process your personal data only in accordance with our instructions and are contractually bound to implement appropriate security measures. We conduct periodic reviews of our third-party partners to ensure ongoing compliance with data protection standards.
26bet will never share your personal data with any other online gambling operator, affiliate marketing network, or data reseller. Your information exists within the 26bet ecosystem and its verified service partners only.
Section 4
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
26bet uses cookies and similar tracking technologies — including web beacons and local storage — to provide a functional, personalised, and secure experience on our platform. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies allow the 26bet platform to remember your preferences, maintain your login session, and gather analytical information about how the site is used.
The following categories of cookies are used on the 26bet platform:
- Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are essential for the platform to function. They enable you to log in, navigate between pages, and maintain your session. The platform cannot function properly without these cookies and they cannot be disabled.
- Functional cookies: These cookies remember your preferences such as language settings, preferred payment method, and display options. They are not strictly necessary but significantly improve your experience on the platform.
- Analytical cookies: These cookies collect anonymous information about how visitors use the 26bet website — for example, which pages are visited most frequently and whether users encounter error messages. This data helps us improve the platform.
- Security cookies: These cookies support our fraud detection and account security systems. They help us identify suspicious login patterns, detect automated access attempts, and protect player accounts from unauthorised access.
You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in or using core features of the 26bet platform. Disabling other cookie categories may affect the quality of your experience but will not prevent basic access to the site.
26bet does not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking technologies for the purpose of building advertising profiles. Any analytics cookies we use collect only anonymised, aggregate data that cannot be used to identify you as an individual.
Section 5
Data Security & Storage
26bet takes the security of your personal data seriously and has implemented a comprehensive set of technical and organisational measures to protect your information against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, or disclosure. Our security infrastructure includes the following:
- All data in transit between your device and our servers is encrypted using TLS 1.3 / 256-bit SSL protocols, ensuring that no data can be intercepted during transmission.
- Sensitive data at rest — including identity documents and financial records — is stored in encrypted form using AES-256 encryption on isolated, access-controlled storage systems.
- Access to personal data within 26bet is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. Only personnel who require access to perform specific operational duties are granted permission, and all access is logged and audited.
- Our platform infrastructure undergoes regular security assessments including vulnerability scanning and penetration testing to identify and address potential weaknesses before they can be exploited.
- Player accounts are protected by password hashing (bcrypt), optional two-factor authentication, and session timeout controls to prevent unauthorised access.
- Our payment integrations with bKash, Nagad, and other partners use tokenisation — meaning your actual payment credentials are never stored on 26bet servers.
Despite our best efforts, no internet-based system is 100% secure. In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights or interests, 26bet will notify affected players as promptly as possible and take all reasonable steps to mitigate the impact of the breach. You are also encouraged to keep your login credentials confidential and to contact us immediately if you suspect unauthorised access to your account.
All personal data collected from players in Bangladesh is stored on servers located within secure data centres. We do not transfer your personal data to countries with inadequate data protection standards without first ensuring that appropriate safeguards are in place.
Section 6
Your Privacy Rights
As a player on the 26bet platform, you have the following rights in relation to the personal data we hold about you. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our privacy team using the details in Section 8 of this policy. We will respond to all requests within seven business days and will not charge a fee for handling straightforward requests.
- Right of access: You have the right to request a copy of the personal data 26bet holds about you. We will provide this in a clear, readable format within seven business days of receiving your verified request.
- Right to rectification: If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct it. You may also update certain details (such as your contact email or phone number) directly through your account settings.
- Right to erasure: In certain circumstances, you have the right to request that we delete your personal data. Note that this right is subject to our legal obligations — for example, we are required to retain certain financial and identity records for a defined period after account closure to comply with anti-money laundering regulations.
- Right to restrict processing: You may ask us to temporarily halt the processing of your personal data while a dispute about its accuracy or our lawful basis for processing is resolved.
- Right to data portability: You have the right to receive the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format so that you can transfer it to another service provider if you choose.
- Right to withdraw consent: Where we process your data on the basis of your consent (for example, for marketing communications), you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before the withdrawal.
- Right to object: You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data where we rely on legitimate interests as our lawful basis, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
To exercise any of your privacy rights, send a written request to [email protected] with the subject line "Privacy Rights Request". Please include your registered username and the specific right you wish to exercise. We will verify your identity before processing any request that involves disclosure or deletion of data.
Section 7
Data Retention Policy
26bet retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or to meet our ongoing legal and regulatory obligations. The following retention periods apply to the main categories of data we hold:
| Data Type | Retention Period | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Account registration data | Duration of account + 5 years after closure | AML / KYC regulatory requirement |
| Transaction and financial records | 5 years from the date of each transaction | Financial record-keeping obligations |
| Identity verification documents | 5 years after account closure | AML / fraud prevention compliance |
| Customer support communications | 3 years from last interaction | Dispute resolution and quality records |
| Marketing consent records | Until consent is withdrawn + 1 year | Proof of lawful basis for marketing |
| Technical / server logs | 90 days | Security monitoring and debugging |
| Anonymised analytics data | Indefinitely (no personal identifiers) | Platform improvement — not personal data |
At the end of each applicable retention period, personal data is either securely deleted from our systems or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to any identifiable individual. Anonymised data may be retained indefinitely for statistical and analytical purposes.
If you request deletion of your personal data before the end of an applicable retention period, we will delete what we are legally permitted to delete and clearly explain which data we are obliged to retain and for how long. We will not use retained data for any purpose other than compliance with the legal obligation that requires its retention.
