Full Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how 24ph ("we," "our," or "the Platform") collects, uses, stores, and protects the personal data you provide when you access or use our online gaming and betting services at https://24ph.best. By registering an account or continuing to use 24ph, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this privacy policy and you agree to the practices described herein.
We treat your privacy like we treat fair play — seriously. Whether you're spinning slots, playing Tongits, or betting on your favorite PBA team, we want you to enjoy every session knowing that your personal information is handled with the utmost care and respect.
1. Information We Collect
When you register and use 24ph, we may collect the following categories of personal data:
- Account Information: Your full name, email address, mobile number, date of birth, and the login credentials you create.
- Identity Verification (KYC): A copy of a valid government-issued ID (e.g., PhilSys National ID, passport, driver's license, SSS or UMID card) to comply with AMLC and PAGCOR requirements.
- Financial Information: Your preferred payment method details — such as your GCash-registered mobile number, Maya account, or bank account information for BDO, BPI, or UnionBank withdrawals. We do not store your full card numbers; those are processed by our PCI-DSS-compliant payment partners.
- Gaming Activity: Bet history, game preferences, transaction logs, deposit and withdrawal records, and bonus usage.
- Device and Technical Data: IP address, browser type, device identifier, operating system, and session timestamps collected automatically when you access the site.
- Communications: Records of any messages, support tickets, or feedback you send us through our email or live chat.
We only collect data that is necessary for providing our services, meeting legal obligations, or improving your experience on 24ph. We do not collect sensitive personal information beyond what KYC regulations require.
2. How We Use Your Information
24ph uses your personal data for the following purposes:
- To create and manage your player account and verify your identity as required under PAGCOR licensing rules.
- To process deposits and withdrawals through GCash, Maya, GrabPay, Coins.ph, InstaPay/PESONet, and Visa/Mastercard bank cards.
- To personalise your gaming experience — recommending games like JILI Slots, Tongits, and Bingo based on your activity.
- To send you account updates, promotional offers, and bonus notifications — but only if you have opted in to receive such communications.
- To detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent activity, money laundering, and any other illegal or abusive behaviour on our platform.
- To comply with our obligations under the Philippine Data Privacy Act (RA 10173), Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA), and PAGCOR regulations.
- To analyse aggregate, anonymised usage patterns and improve our platform features and performance.
- To respond to your inquiries and resolve any disputes or complaints promptly.
3. Legal Basis for Processing
We process your personal data based on one or more of the following legal grounds under the Data Privacy Act of 2012:
- Consent: Where you have freely given your consent, particularly for marketing communications and optional data analytics.
- Contractual Necessity: Processing needed to fulfill our obligations to you as a registered 24ph player — including account management and payment processing.
- Legal Obligation: Data retention and disclosure required by PAGCOR, AMLC, BIR, or other Philippine regulatory authorities.
- Legitimate Interests: Fraud prevention, security monitoring, and platform improvement — provided these interests do not override your fundamental rights.
4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
24ph uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to make our platform work properly and to improve your experience. Here's a breakdown:
- Essential Cookies: Required for login sessions, account authentication, and core platform functionality. These cannot be disabled.
- Performance Cookies: Help us understand which pages load slowly, where errors occur, and how players navigate the site — all anonymised.
- Functional Cookies: Remember your preferences like language settings, last played game, or notification choices.
- Analytics Cookies: Aggregated, non-identifiable data about how the platform is used, helping us prioritise improvements.
You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Please note that disabling essential cookies may prevent you from logging in or using certain features.
5. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell or rent your personal data. We may share it only with the following categories of parties, strictly as needed:
- Payment Service Providers: GCash, Maya, GrabPay, and banking partners for processing transactions. They are bound by their own privacy policies and applicable Philippine law.
- KYC and Identity Verification Partners: Third-party verification services used to confirm your identity in compliance with PAGCOR and AMLC requirements.
- Regulatory Authorities: PAGCOR, AMLC, the National Privacy Commission (NPC), and other government agencies when required by law or court order.
- IT Infrastructure Providers: Cloud hosting and server management partners operating under strict data processing agreements and confidentiality obligations.
- Game Content Providers: Game studios like JILI whose software runs on our platform may receive anonymised gameplay data for performance reporting — never your personal identifying details.
Every third party we work with is required to maintain appropriate security standards and is prohibited from using your data for any purpose other than the one for which it was shared.
6. Data Retention
We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a period thereafter as required by law. Specifically:
- Account data and gaming transaction records are kept for a minimum of five (5) years as required by PAGCOR and AMLC regulations.
- KYC documents are retained for five (5) years from the date of your last transaction or account closure, whichever is later.
- Support and communications data is kept for three (3) years.
- When the retention period expires, data is securely deleted or anonymised, unless a longer retention is required by a new legal obligation or an ongoing investigation.
7. Your Rights as a Data Subject
Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by 24ph:
- Right to be Informed: Know how your data is collected and processed — which is exactly what this policy is for.
- Right to Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, free of charge, once per year.
- Right to Rectification: Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data in your profile.

To exercise any of these rights, contact our Data Protection Officer at privacy@24ph.best. We will respond within fifteen (15) working days.
8. Security Measures
Protecting your data is a top priority for 24ph. We implement a multilayered security approach that includes:
- TLS 1.3 encryption for all data transmitted between your device and our platform.
- AES-256 encryption for sensitive data stored in our databases.
- Two-factor authentication (2FA) options for your account login.
- Regular penetration testing and security audits by independent cybersecurity firms.
- Strict role-based access control — only authorised personnel can access personal data, and only when necessary.
- 24/7 automated intrusion detection and anomaly monitoring systems.
Despite our best efforts, no system is 100% impenetrable. In the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your rights, we will notify you and the NPC within 72 hours as required by law.
9. Children's Privacy
24ph is strictly an adults-only platform. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 21 years of age. Our registration process includes age verification checks, and we reserve the right to suspend or terminate any account found to belong to a minor. If you believe a minor has registered on our platform, please contact us immediately at privacy@24ph.best.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, technology, or legal obligations. When we make material changes, we will notify you via email or a prominent notice on the platform at least 14 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of 24ph after the effective date constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. The date at the top of this page always shows when the policy was last updated, so you can check back anytime.
