y1888 is committed to protecting the personal data of every player on the Platform. This Privacy Policy explains in clear terms what data we collect from Pakistani players, why we collect it, how we use it, who we share it with, how long we keep it, and what rights you have over your own information. Please read this document before using y1888.
Important Notice: This Privacy Policy ("Policy") applies to all personal data processed by y1888 in connection with the operation of the y1888 Platform at y1888.app. It applies to all registered players, prospective players who browse the Platform without an Account, and former players whose data y1888 is legally required to retain. By using y1888, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy. If you have questions, contact [email protected].
y1888 — operating the online gaming Platform at y1888.app — acts as the Data Controller in relation to personal data collected from players based in Pakistan and elsewhere. This Policy has been prepared to be transparent and accessible. It sets out, in plain English, how y1888 handles personal data and what this means for you as a player.
This Policy is incorporated by reference into the y1888 Terms & Conditions and should be read alongside those Terms. Using any part of the y1888 Platform — including browsing game pages, registering an Account, making a deposit, or placing a bet — constitutes acknowledgment of this Policy. y1888 will always process personal data lawfully, fairly, and transparently in accordance with the obligations imposed by its international gaming licence.
Scope: This Policy applies to data collected through the y1888 website (y1888.app), all Platform features including the casino, sportsbook, account management, support communications, and payment processing. It does not apply to third-party websites that may be linked from or to y1888's Platform.
y1888 collects only the personal data that is necessary for the legitimate operation of a licensed online gaming platform, including registration, account management, payment processing, KYC compliance, and responsible gaming obligations. We do not collect personal data beyond what is required for these purposes.

y1888 does not intentionally collect sensitive personal data categories such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, genetic data, or biometric data for identification purposes beyond what is contained within standard CNIC documentation required for KYC compliance. CNIC data is processed solely for identity verification and anti-fraud purposes and is handled with additional security controls.
y1888 collects personal data through the following channels:
y1888 processes personal data for the following specific purposes:
y1888 processes personal data only where a valid legal basis exists. The applicable legal bases are:
| Processing Purpose | Legal Basis |
|---|---|
| Account registration & management | Performance of contract (Terms & Conditions) |
| Payment processing | Performance of contract |
| KYC identity & age verification | Legal obligation (gaming licence conditions) |

| Customer support communications | Performance of contract & legitimate interests |

y1888 does not sell, rent, or trade personal data to third parties for commercial marketing purposes. Data is shared only in the following circumstances and only to the extent necessary for the stated purpose:
y1888 works with carefully selected third-party service providers who process data on y1888's behalf under binding data processing agreements. These include:
y1888 may disclose personal data to its licensing authority, financial regulators, law enforcement agencies, or other governmental authorities where required to do so by law, court order, or in connection with the investigation of suspected criminal activity connected with the Platform.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of y1888's business or assets, personal data held by y1888 may be transferred as part of that transaction. Players will be notified of any such transfer where it materially affects the processing of their personal data and will be given the opportunity to request account closure if they do not consent to the transfer.
Our commitment: y1888 will never sell your personal data to advertisers, data brokers, or marketing companies. Your data is used exclusively to deliver gaming services, comply with regulatory obligations, and maintain the security and integrity of the y1888 Platform.
y1888 operates under an international gaming licence and uses globally distributed infrastructure providers. As a result, personal data collected from Pakistani players may be transferred to and processed in countries outside Pakistan. Where such transfers occur, y1888 takes steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data to a standard equivalent to or higher than the protections applicable under y1888's licensing jurisdiction.
Safeguards employed for international data transfers include contractual data processing agreements with standard data protection clauses, use of service providers that maintain recognised security certifications (including ISO 27001 where applicable), and technical encryption measures applied to all data in transit between jurisdictions.
Note for Pakistani Players: Data collected by y1888 from players in Pakistan may be stored and processed on servers located in other countries as part of y1888's secure cloud infrastructure. This is standard practice for internationally licensed online gaming platforms and does not reduce the security or privacy protections applied to your data.
y1888 retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including compliance with legal, regulatory, and licensing retention obligations. The following retention periods apply:
Following the expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to an individual player. Data that has been anonymised may be retained indefinitely for statistical and Platform improvement purposes.
y1888 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the Platform for the following purposes:
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Maintain login sessions, security tokens, and Platform functionality. Cannot be disabled without breaking core features. | Session / up to 30 days |
| Functional | Remember your language preferences, game lobby view settings, and responsible gaming configurations. | Up to 12 months |
| Analytics | Collect anonymised data on page views, session lengths, and feature usage to improve Platform performance. | Up to 24 months |
| Security | Fraud detection and bot prevention signals linked to device fingerprinting during login and transaction events. | Session-based |
Most web browsers allow you to control cookie settings through the browser's settings menu. Disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in to your y1888 Account or using core Platform features. Disabling analytics or functional cookies will not affect your ability to play or transact.
Mobile Users in Pakistan: y1888 is primarily accessed via mobile browsers on Jazz, Telenor, Zong, and Ufone networks. Cookie behaviour may vary between mobile browsers (Chrome, Firefox) and desktop environments. y1888's strictly necessary cookies are required for authenticated sessions on all devices.
As a player on y1888, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data. These rights may be subject to limitations where y1888's legal obligations — particularly its gaming licence conditions and AML requirements — require retention of data that would otherwise be subject to deletion or restriction.
To exercise any of these rights, submit a written request to [email protected] with the subject line "Data Rights Request" and your registered Account mobile number for verification. y1888 will acknowledge receipt within 5 business days and fulfil the request within 30 calendar days, subject to identity verification.
y1888 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. The Platform is strictly for adults aged 21 and over. y1888 takes all reasonable steps to verify player age during the KYC process using CNIC documentation, which includes date of birth.
If y1888 discovers or is made aware that a registered Account belongs to a person under 21 years of age, the following actions will be taken immediately:
If you believe a minor has created an Account on y1888, please contact [email protected] immediately. y1888 will treat such reports as the highest priority.
y1888 implements appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. Specific measures include:
Your responsibility: While y1888 takes extensive measures to secure your data at the Platform level, you are responsible for keeping your Account credentials — particularly your registered mobile number and password — confidential. Never share your OTP codes with anyone, including persons claiming to be y1888 support staff. y1888 will never ask for your password.
The y1888 Platform may contain references to third-party services integrated with the Platform — including payment processors such as JazzCash and EasyPaisa — whose own privacy policies govern the data they collect in the course of processing transactions. y1888 is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party entities, and this Policy does not extend to data processed by those entities under their own terms.
Players are encouraged to review the privacy policies of any third-party payment service they use in connection with y1888 transactions. For JazzCash and EasyPaisa users in Pakistan, relevant privacy information is available directly from those service providers.
y1888 reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in applicable law, regulatory requirements, Platform features, or data processing practices. The "Effective Date" at the top of this Policy will be updated when material changes are made.
Where changes are significant — particularly where they affect the legal basis for processing or the categories of data shared with third parties — y1888 will notify registered players via a notice on the Platform or through a communication to their registered Account contact details. Continued use of y1888 following notification of an updated Policy constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
We recommend that all y1888 players bookmark this page and review the Privacy Policy periodically, especially before any significant transaction or when y1888 communicates that a policy update has occurred.
For all questions, requests, or concerns regarding this Privacy Policy or the handling of your personal data by y1888, please contact us using the details below. We will acknowledge all data-related enquiries within 5 business days.
If you are not satisfied with y1888's response to a privacy complaint, you have the right to escalate the matter to the supervisory authority or dispute body designated under y1888's applicable gaming licence. Details of the applicable supervisory mechanism are available from y1888 support upon written request.
These are the six most important data protection commitments that y1888 makes to every Pakistani player on the Platform.
y1888 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to advertisers, data brokers, or any third party for commercial marketing purposes. Your information is used exclusively to operate the Platform, comply with licensing obligations, and protect account security.
Every connection between your browser and y1888 — on Jazz, Telenor, Zong, Ufone, or any Wi-Fi network — is protected by SSL/TLS encryption. Your login credentials, payment data, KYC uploads, and gaming activity are never transmitted in plain text.
y1888 will never knowingly collect or retain personal data from anyone under 21. CNIC verification enforces this at the KYC stage. Accounts found to belong to under-21 players are immediately suspended, data deleted, and incidents escalated internally.
y1888 collects only the data that is genuinely necessary to provide a licensed, safe online gaming service. We do not collect browsing history beyond Platform interactions, sensitive data categories not required by KYC, or data for undisclosed purposes.
Pakistani players on y1888 can request access to, correction of, or deletion of their personal data at any time via [email protected]. y1888 will respond within 30 days to all valid data rights requests, subject to legal retention obligations.
y1888 retains personal data only for the period required by its gaming licence obligations — typically five years for KYC and financial records. Data no longer required for legal or operational purposes is securely deleted or fully anonymised.
Cricket betting, live dealer casino, slots, and dice — all in PKR, via JazzCash and EasyPaisa. Your data is protected under y1888's international gaming licence. Must be 21 or older.
