Data We Gather When You Play

We only collect information that is genuinely necessary to operate a safe, fair, and compliant sports betting platform for players in the Philippines.

Registration Data

When you create a betmgm account, we collect your full name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, and residential address in the Philippines. This information is required to verify your identity, confirm that you are of legal betting age, and set up your account correctly in our system. We may also ask for a government-issued ID such as a PhilSys card, passport, or driver's licence during the Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process. Providing accurate registration details is a condition of using the platform — accounts found to contain false information may be suspended pending review. All registration data is stored securely and is never shared with marketing companies.

Payment & Transaction Data

To process deposits and withdrawals in Philippine pesos (PHP), we collect payment method details including GCash account numbers, Maya wallet identifiers, or bank account information linked to your registered name. We do not store full card numbers or complete banking credentials on our servers — sensitive payment data is handled by our licensed payment processing partners who comply with applicable Philippine financial regulations. Transaction records including amounts, dates, and payment channel references are retained for the period required by anti-money-laundering legislation. This data allows us to investigate disputed transactions promptly and ensures your funds are always traceable back to your verified account. You can review your full transaction history at any time from within your betmgm account dashboard.

Betting & Usage Activity

We record all bets placed through our platform including the event selected, market type, stake amount in PHP, odds accepted, and settlement outcome. This betting history is used to calculate your account balance, resolve any disputes over wagers, and detect patterns that may indicate problem gambling so that our responsible gaming team can offer timely support. Usage data — including the pages you visit, features you interact with, session duration, and device type — helps us understand how Filipino players navigate the platform so we can continuously improve performance and relevance. We also log IP addresses and approximate geolocation data at login to protect your account from unauthorised access and to confirm that access is occurring from within permitted territories. None of your individual betting activity is sold to or shared with sports teams, leagues, or bookmaking competitors.

Communications Data

If you contact our support team by email, live chat, or any other channel, we retain a record of that correspondence including the content of messages, attachments, and timestamps. These records allow us to follow up on unresolved issues, maintain quality assurance standards, and train our support staff to better assist Philippine players. If you opt in to receive promotional communications, we store your preferences and the history of messages sent to you so that you can easily update or withdraw your consent at any time. We will never use your communications data to build advertising profiles for sale to third parties. You can request the deletion of your communications history subject to any regulatory retention requirements that may apply.

Cookies & Technical Data

Our platform uses essential cookies that are strictly necessary to keep your session active, remember your login state, and ensure secure navigation between pages. We also use analytical cookies to understand aggregate traffic patterns and identify pages that may need performance improvements — these cookies do not identify you personally and the data is reviewed only in anonymised form. You can manage or disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings at any time, though doing so may affect certain platform features. Technical data such as browser type, operating system version, screen resolution, and referring URL is collected automatically to help our engineering team diagnose compatibility issues on the wide range of devices used by players across the Philippines. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies that follow your activity outside the betmgm platform.

Location & Device Data

We collect approximate location data derived from your IP address to verify that you are accessing the platform from the Philippines or another permitted jurisdiction, and to comply with the geographic restrictions imposed by our operating licence. If you access betmgm through a mobile browser or app and grant location permission, more precise location data may be collected solely for the purpose of jurisdiction verification and fraud prevention. Device identifiers such as a unique device ID may be stored to help us recognise returning players and protect accounts from takeover attempts originating from unrecognised devices. We do not use location data for targeted advertising, nor do we share precise location information with any third party outside of mandatory regulatory reporting. You may withdraw location permission through your device settings at any time, though this may limit your ability to access certain features of the platform.

How We Use Your Data & Your Rights

betmgm processes your personal information only for legitimate purposes, and Philippine law gives you clear rights over that data.

How We Use Your Information

  • Account management — We use your registration and identity data to create, maintain, and secure your betmgm account throughout its lifetime.
  • Payment processing — Transaction data is used exclusively to facilitate deposits and withdrawals in PHP and to comply with financial regulations applicable in the Philippines.
  • Regulatory compliance — Certain data is retained because we are legally required to do so under Philippine anti-money-laundering, consumer protection, and gaming regulations.
  • Platform improvement — Anonymised usage analytics help our product team build a faster, more intuitive betting experience optimised for Philippine players on mobile devices.
  • Responsible gaming — Betting activity data is reviewed by our responsible gaming team to identify players who may benefit from limit-setting tools or support resources.
  • Service communications — We send transactional emails and notifications about your account, bets, and payments. Promotional messages are only sent with your explicit consent and can be switched off at any time.

Your Data Rights

As a player based in the Philippines, you have the following rights regarding your personal data held by betmgm. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our support team using the details provided on our platform and we will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

You have the right to request a copy of all personal data betmgm holds about you, including your registration details, transaction history, and communications records. Requests will be fulfilled within 30 days of verification of your identity. There is no charge for a first access request within any 12-month period. We will provide the information in a clear, structured format. If the volume of data is large, we may provide it in stages with your agreement.

If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or out of date, you have the right to request that it be corrected promptly. You can update basic contact details directly through your account settings without needing to contact support. For more significant changes — such as corrections to your legal name or date of birth — we will require supporting documentation to verify the amendment before updating our records. Corrections will be confirmed to you in writing once completed.

You may request the deletion of your personal data when it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or when you withdraw your consent and no other legal basis for processing exists. Please note that certain data — particularly transaction records and identity verification documents — must be retained for the period specified by Philippine anti-money-laundering and gaming regulations, and cannot be deleted on request during that mandatory retention window. We will inform you clearly of any data that cannot be deleted and the reason why. All data that can be erased will be removed from our active systems within 30 days of a verified erasure request.

Where betmgm processes your data on the basis of your consent — for example, for promotional email communications or optional analytics cookies — you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time without affecting any processing that took place before your withdrawal. You can manage communication preferences directly in your account settings or by contacting our support team. Withdrawal of consent for non-essential processing will be actioned within 48 hours of your request being confirmed.

Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell your personal information. Sharing only occurs where it is strictly necessary or legally required.

Regulated Service Partners

betmgm works with a limited number of carefully vetted third-party service providers who help us operate the platform — including licensed payment processors who handle PHP transactions via GCash and Maya, identity verification specialists who conduct KYC checks, and cloud hosting providers who store data on secure servers. Each partner is contractually bound to process your data only for the specific purpose for which it was shared, to apply security standards equivalent to our own, and never to use your data for their own marketing or commercial purposes. We review our partner agreements regularly and will update this policy if any significant changes to our sharing arrangements occur. We do not share your data with sports betting affiliates, advertising networks, or data brokers under any circumstances.

Legal & Regulatory Disclosure

We may be required by Philippine law, court order, or the lawful request of a government authority or regulatory body — such as the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) or the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) — to disclose certain personal data about players on our platform. In such cases, we will comply with the legal obligation and, where permitted by law, notify the affected player that a disclosure request has been received. We never voluntarily provide player data to law enforcement or regulators beyond what is strictly required, and we will always seek to challenge any request that we believe to be disproportionate or unlawful. Any disclosure made under legal compulsion is logged internally and reviewed by our compliance team.
