61ph Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data collected, processed, and stored by 61ph in connection with your use of the 61ph website, mobile platform, and any related services — collectively referred to as the "Platform." It covers every interaction you have with 61ph: from the moment you visit our site as a guest, through the account registration process, and throughout your ongoing use of our casino, sports betting, bingo, slot, and golf wagering products.

61ph is committed to handling your personal data with transparency, fairness, and a genuine respect for your privacy. This policy is written in plain English so that every Filipino player can clearly understand what data we collect and why — not to bury important information in legal jargon.

By accessing or using the 61ph Platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to the data practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please discontinue use of the Platform and contact our support team to request account closure.

For the purposes of the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, 61ph is the Personal Information Controller (PIC) responsible for all personal data collected through the Platform. This means 61ph determines the purpose and means by which your personal information is processed.

61ph operates under PAGCOR regulatory oversight. All data processing activities undertaken by 61ph are carried out in accordance with PAGCOR's compliance requirements and the applicable data protection legislation of the Republic of the Philippines.

Where 61ph engages third-party service providers — including payment processors, game content providers, KYC verification services, and cloud hosting infrastructure — those providers operate as Personal Information Processors (PIPs) acting only on 61ph's documented instructions. 61ph maintains data processing agreements with all PIPs to ensure your data remains protected throughout the processing chain.

To contact 61ph's Data Protection Officer (DPO) directly, please see Section 14 of this policy.

61ph collects personal data through several channels: information you provide directly during registration and account activity, information generated automatically through your use of the Platform, and information received from trusted third parties. The categories of data collected are set out in the table below.

3.1 Data You Are Not Required to Provide

Some data fields during registration or account management are optional. Where a field is optional, this will be indicated on the relevant form. Declining to provide optional information will not affect your ability to access core Platform features, but may limit access to certain promotional offers or faster withdrawal processing that relies on enhanced verification data.

61ph processes your personal data only where a lawful basis exists under RA 10173. The primary legal bases applicable to 61ph's processing activities are: (a) performance of a contract — processing necessary to provide the gaming services you have requested; (b) compliance with a legal obligation — processing required by PAGCOR regulations, the Anti-Money Laundering Act (RA 9160), and other applicable Philippine law; and (c) legitimate interests — processing that is necessary for 61ph's legitimate business interests, balanced against your rights as a data subject.

Where processing is based on your consent — particularly for marketing communications — you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal. To update your marketing preferences, log in to your account and visit the Notifications section, or contact support.

61ph does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for their own commercial purposes. Personal data is shared externally only in the circumstances described below, and only to the extent necessary for the stated purpose.

5.1 Payment Service Providers

To process your deposits and withdrawals, 61ph must share relevant financial and identity data with our payment partners — including GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, and cryptocurrency processing services. These providers are contractually bound to use your data solely for payment processing purposes and in accordance with their own regulatory obligations.

5.2 KYC and Identity Verification Providers

61ph uses third-party KYC service providers to verify the identity documents you submit during account verification. These providers process your government ID data and biometric photographs under strict data processing agreements and are prohibited from using your data for any purpose beyond identity verification on behalf of 61ph.

5.3 Game Content Providers

Where 61ph features games produced by third-party software providers, limited technical and session data (such as Player ID and session token) may be shared with those providers solely for the purpose of rendering the game and recording the outcome. Game providers do not receive your full identity or financial data.

5.4 Regulatory and Law Enforcement Authorities

61ph will disclose personal data to PAGCOR, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), the National Privacy Commission (NPC), or other competent Philippine government authorities where required by law, court order, or regulatory direction. 61ph will notify affected Players of such disclosures where legally permitted to do so.

61ph retains your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, and to comply with applicable legal and regulatory retention obligations. The following general retention periods apply:

• Account and identity data — retained for the duration of your account and for a period of five (5) years following permanent account closure, in line with PAGCOR record-keeping requirements and the Anti-Money Laundering Act.
• Financial transaction records — retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of each transaction, as required by RA 9160 and PAGCOR compliance obligations.
• Gaming session data — retained for two (2) years from the date of each session, used for responsible gaming monitoring, dispute resolution, and regulatory audit purposes.
• Customer support communications — retained for two (2) years from the date of the last interaction in a support ticket or chat session.
• Marketing preference and consent records — retained for the duration of your account plus two (2) years, to maintain an auditable record of consent and opt-out actions.
• Technical / server log data — retained for twelve (12) months from the date of generation, used for security monitoring and fraud detection.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, 61ph will securely delete or anonymise your personal data so that it can no longer be linked to your identity. Anonymised, aggregated data may be retained indefinitely for statistical and analytical purposes without restriction.

61ph implements a multi-layered security framework to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. The security measures in place include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Encryption in Transit: All data transmitted between your device and 61ph servers is protected using TLS 1.2 or higher (SSL/HTTPS). This applies to all Platform pages, login sessions, and payment flows.
• Encryption at Rest: Sensitive personal data stored in 61ph databases — including government ID data, financial account references, and KYC documents — is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption.
• Access Controls: Internal access to personal data is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. All staff with data access rights undergo background screening and mandatory data privacy training.
• Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): 61ph offers optional 2FA for Player accounts, adding an additional layer of protection against unauthorised access even if login credentials are compromised.
• Penetration Testing: 61ph's platform undergoes regular third-party security assessments and penetration testing to identify and remediate vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
• Incident Response: In the event of a personal data breach, 61ph will notify affected Players and report the incident to the National Privacy Commission within 72 hours of discovery, as required by NPC Circular 16-03.

61ph uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to ensure the Platform functions correctly, to remember your preferences, and to understand how Players navigate the site so we can improve the experience. The categories of cookies used by 61ph are described below.

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through the Cookie Settings panel accessible in the Platform footer. Please note that disabling Strictly Necessary cookies will impair your ability to log in and use the Platform. All other cookie categories can be disabled without affecting core account functionality.

61ph does not use cookies to build advertising profiles that are sold to third parties. Analytics and marketing cookies operate within the 61ph ecosystem only.

As a data subject under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, you hold the following rights with respect to your personal data held by 61ph. 61ph is committed to honouring these rights promptly and without unnecessary barriers.

To exercise any of the above rights, submit a written request to 61ph's Data Protection Officer at [email protected] with the subject line "Data Privacy Request." 61ph will acknowledge your request within three (3) business days and respond substantively within fifteen (15) business days, in accordance with NPC guidelines. Identity verification may be required before processing your request to protect against fraudulent data access.

Where a request cannot be fulfilled — for example, because data retention is required by PAGCOR regulations or AML law — 61ph will provide a written explanation of the specific legal basis for refusal.

Where 61ph discovers or has reasonable grounds to suspect that personal data belonging to an individual under 21 has been collected — whether through age misrepresentation at registration or any other means — 61ph will immediately suspend the relevant account and delete all associated personal data, except where retention is required by law to document the underage access incident for regulatory reporting purposes.

Parents and guardians who believe a minor may have accessed or registered on the 61ph Platform should contact us immediately at [email protected]. 61ph will investigate and take appropriate action, including account closure and data deletion, within 48 hours of a verified report.

61ph supports the use of parental control software and internet filtering tools as an additional safeguard in households with minors. The Platform is designed to verify age at the point of registration, but technological safeguards at home provide an important additional layer of protection.

In certain circumstances, 61ph's third-party service providers — including cloud infrastructure providers, KYC verification platforms, and international game content developers — may be located outside the Philippines or may process data on servers outside Philippine territory. Where such cross-border transfers of personal data occur, 61ph ensures that they are subject to appropriate safeguards in accordance with Section 21 of the Data Privacy Act and NPC regulations on cross-border data flows.

Safeguards applied to cross-border transfers include:

• Contractual clauses in data processing agreements that impose data protection standards equivalent to Philippine law on the recipient.
• Transfers only to jurisdictions or organisations that the NPC has recognised as providing adequate levels of data protection.
• Where neither of the above applies, transfers are made only with your explicit informed consent, obtained at the time of data collection.

The majority of 61ph's data processing infrastructure is located in the Asia-Pacific region, minimising the frequency and scope of cross-border transfers involving Filipino Player data.

61ph may send you promotional emails, SMS messages, and in-platform notifications about new games, bonuses, exclusive offers, and platform updates — but only where you have given your separate, explicit consent to receive such communications during the registration process or through your account preference centre.

Marketing communications from 61ph may reference products and promotions relevant to Filipino players, including seasonal offers tied to Philippine public holidays, events such as PBA season, major boxing bouts featuring Filipino champions, and the 61ph loyalty rewards programme.

12.1 Opting Out

You may withdraw your consent to marketing communications at any time by:

• Clicking the "Unsubscribe" link included in every promotional email.
• Updating your notification preferences in your account settings under "Communication Preferences."
• Contacting 61ph support at [email protected] with the subject line "Marketing Opt-Out."

Opt-out requests are processed within 5 business days. Please note that even after opting out of marketing communications, you will continue to receive transactional and account-related messages (such as deposit confirmations, withdrawal notifications, and security alerts), as these are necessary for the performance of your account contract.

61ph reserves the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable Philippine law, NPC guidance, or PAGCOR regulatory requirements. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this document and in the hero section of this page will always reflect when the most recent revision was made.

Where changes are material — meaning they significantly affect how your personal data is collected, used, or shared — 61ph will notify registered Players by email at least fourteen (14) days before the updated policy takes effect. For non-material changes, such as typographical corrections or structural reorganisation without substantive impact, updates may be made without prior notice.

Your continued use of the 61ph Platform after the effective date of any updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. If you do not agree with any changes, you may exercise your right to request account closure and data deletion in accordance with Section 9 of this policy.

61ph has appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO) in accordance with Section 21 of the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and the NPC's implementing rules. The DPO is responsible for overseeing 61ph's data protection compliance programme, acting as the primary point of contact for data subjects exercising their rights, and liaising with the National Privacy Commission.
