oktabet Privacy Policy
Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains how GoTech Entertainment collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal information when you use the oktabet platform — in full compliance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and PAGCOR regulatory requirements.
Your Data, Protected
How oktabet Protects Your Information

This policy describes our practices with respect to the collection, use, storage, sharing, and protection of personal information provided by users of the Platform ("you," "your," or "Player").

Legal Basis: As a PAGCOR-licensed gaming operator, GoTech Entertainment processes personal data on the basis of contractual necessity (to operate your account), legal obligation (AML compliance, PAGCOR reporting), legitimate interests (fraud prevention, platform security), and your explicit consent (marketing communications, where applicable).

How We Use Your Data
GoTech Entertainment processes your personal data for specific, legitimate purposes only. We do not process data in ways that are incompatible with the purposes for which it was originally collected. The primary purposes for which we use your personal information are as follows:
- Account Administration: To create, maintain, and manage your oktabet player account, verify your identity, and process your login credentials securely;
- KYC and Age Verification: To verify that you meet the 21+ age requirement under PAGCOR regulations and to comply with our Know Your Customer obligations before permitting deposits and withdrawals;

- AML Compliance: To monitor transactions for suspicious activity as required under Republic Act No. 9160 (Anti-Money Laundering Act) and its amendments, and to file Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs) or Cash Transaction Reports (CTRs) with the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) where legally required;
- PAGCOR Regulatory Reporting: To fulfill our reporting obligations to the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation as required under our gaming license;

No Automated Decision-Making: oktabet does not make decisions about your account that produce significant legal effects based solely on automated processing, without human review. Account suspensions triggered by automated fraud detection systems are always reviewed by a member of our compliance team before any permanent action is taken.
Section 4
Data Sharing & Disclosure
oktabet does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes. Your data may however be shared with the following categories of recipients, strictly for the purposes described in this Policy:
- Payment Service Providers: GCash (Mynt), PayMaya (Voyager Innovations), and partner banks (BPI, BDO, Metrobank) receive financial transaction data strictly as necessary to process your deposits and withdrawals. These providers are bound by their own privacy policies and financial sector regulations;
- Game Content Providers: Third-party game studios and live casino operators who supply games to the oktabet platform may receive anonymous or pseudonymized gameplay data for RNG certification, dispute resolution, and game performance purposes only. No directly identifiable personal data is shared with game providers beyond what is technically required;
- Identity Verification Services: Third-party KYC and identity verification providers may process your identity documents and biometric data where required for enhanced verification. All such providers are contractually bound to process data only for the specified verification purpose;
- PAGCOR: As our licensing authority, PAGCOR may require access to player account data, transaction records, and gameplay logs as part of regulatory audits, compliance reviews, or investigations. We are legally obligated to cooperate with all PAGCOR data requests;
- Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC): We are required by law to report covered transactions and suspicious transactions to the AMLC. This includes player identity data, transaction amounts, and account history where reporting thresholds are met or suspicion is identified;
- Law Enforcement and Courts: We will disclose personal data to Philippine law enforcement agencies, the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), or courts of competent jurisdiction where required by a valid legal order, warrant, or subpoena;
- Professional Advisors: Our legal, audit, and compliance advisors may access personal data on a strictly need-to-know basis and are bound by professional confidentiality obligations.
Cross-Border Data Transfers: Some of our third-party service providers may be located outside the Philippines. Where personal data is transferred internationally, GoTech Entertainment ensures that adequate contractual safeguards are in place consistent with the requirements of the National Privacy Commission. We do not transfer personal data to jurisdictions that do not provide an adequate level of data protection without appropriate contractual protections.
Section 5
Data Retention
oktabet retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations. The following retention periods apply as a general guide:
| Data Type | Retention Period | Legal Basis for Retention |
|---|---|---|
| Account & Identity Data | 5 years after account closure | PAGCOR licensing obligation, AML Act |
| Financial Transaction Records | 5 years from transaction date | RA 9160 (AML Act), PAGCOR requirement |
| KYC Documents | 5 years after account closure | PAGCOR licensing obligation, AML Act |
| Gameplay Logs | 2 years from date of gameplay | PAGCOR audit requirements |
| Support Communications | 2 years from last interaction | Legitimate interest (dispute resolution) |
| Marketing Consent Records | Duration of consent + 1 year | NPC compliance |
| Cookie & Analytics Data | Up to 13 months from collection | Legitimate interest (platform improvement) |
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data will be securely deleted or anonymized in accordance with NPC-approved disposal methods. Anonymized data (from which no individual can be identified) may be retained indefinitely for aggregate analytics purposes.
Where you request deletion of your personal data before the applicable retention period has expired, we will assess the request against our legal obligations. We may be unable to delete certain data where retention is required by law — in which case we will inform you of the specific legal basis preventing deletion and restrict further processing of that data to the minimum necessary for compliance purposes only.
Section 6
Data Security
GoTech Entertainment implements a comprehensive set of technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, accidental loss, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our security framework includes:
- Transport Layer Security (TLS): All data transmitted between your device and the oktabet platform is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher, preventing interception by third parties;
- Data Encryption at Rest: Sensitive personal data and financial information stored in our databases is encrypted using AES-256 encryption;
- Access Controls: Role-based access controls ensure that only authorized GoTech Entertainment personnel can access personal data, with each staff member granted access only to the data categories required for their specific role;
- Multi-Factor Authentication: Administrative access to systems containing personal data is protected by multi-factor authentication (MFA);
- Regular Security Audits: Our platform and data systems undergo regular penetration testing and security audits by independent third-party security specialists;
- Incident Response: We maintain a documented data breach response plan. In the event of a personal data breach, we will notify the National Privacy Commission and affected players within the timeframes required by the Data Privacy Act and its Implementing Rules and Regulations.
While we implement industry-standard security measures, no system connected to the internet is completely immune to attack. You are also responsible for maintaining the security of your own oktabet account by using a strong, unique password and enabling any available two-factor authentication features. If you suspect your account has been compromised, contact our support team immediately via live chat.
Personal Data Breach Notification: If GoTech Entertainment experiences a personal data breach that is likely to result in a real risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you via email or in-platform notification within seventy-two (72) hours of becoming aware of the breach, in line with NPC Circular No. 16-03 on Personal Data Breach Management.
