1. Who We Are
88fd is an online betting and casino platform operated for users in Pakistan. When these terms refer to "88fd", "we", "us" or "our", they mean the operator of the 88fd platform accessible at https://88fd.link. This Privacy Policy explains how 88fd acts as the data controller in respect of personal data collected from registered players and visitors to the platform.
If you have any questions about this policy or about how 88fd handles your personal data, you can contact our team at any time via email at support@88fd.link or through live chat on the website. We aim to respond to privacy-related enquiries within 72 hours.
Scope: This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data collected through the 88fd website, mobile browser platform, customer support interactions (including live chat and email), and any other channel through which you communicate with us. It should be read alongside the Terms and Conditions and Responsible Gaming Policy.
2. Data We Collect
88fd collects personal data through several channels. The type of data collected depends on how you interact with the platform — whether you are a registered player, a visitor browsing without an account, or someone contacting our support team.
2.1 Registration & Account Data
When you create an 88fd account we collect the following information:
- Full legal name as it appears on your CNIC or passport
- Date of birth (to verify you are 18 or older)
- Current residential address in Pakistan
- Mobile phone number
- Email address
- Username and encrypted password
- Preferred language and communication preferences
2.2 Identity Verification Documents
Where 88fd is required to verify your identity — for example, before processing a large withdrawal or where our compliance team flags an account for review — we may request copies of:
- National Identity Card (CNIC)
- Passport or other government-issued photo ID
- Recent utility bill or bank statement showing your address
- Screenshot or statement from your Easypaisa, JazzCash or bank account confirming ownership
These documents are handled by our dedicated compliance team, stored securely in encrypted form, and accessed only by authorised personnel with a legitimate need. They are never shared with third parties for marketing purposes.
2.3 Transaction & Payment Data
Every deposit, withdrawal and bet placed through 88fd is recorded. This includes transaction amounts in PKR, transaction timestamps, the payment method used, and the transaction reference numbers provided by your wallet or bank. We do not store full payment card numbers — card data is processed directly through PCI-DSS compliant payment infrastructure and 88fd retains only tokenised references.
2.4 Gaming & Betting Activity
We record your activity on the 88fd platform including game sessions, bet history, win and loss records, bonus redemptions, and wagering progress. This data is used to manage your account, resolve disputes, detect bonus abuse, and personalise your experience on the platform.
2.5 Device & Technical Data
When you access 88fd, our servers automatically collect technical information including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type, screen resolution, session duration, pages visited and referring URL. This data is used for security monitoring, fraud prevention and platform optimisation.
2.6 Support Interactions
When you contact 88fd via live chat or email, we retain a record of the conversation, including any personal information you share during the interaction. This record is used to resolve your query, train support staff and maintain quality standards.
How 88fd Keeps Your Data Safe
256-bit SSL Encryption
Every connection to 88fd is protected by TLS/SSL encryption. Data transmitted between your device and our servers cannot be intercepted or read by third parties on the same network.
Encrypted Data at Rest
All personal data stored on 88fd servers is encrypted using AES-256 at rest. Even in the unlikely event of a server-level breach, your personal information cannot be read without the decryption key.
PCI-DSS Payments
Card payments at 88fd are processed through PCI-DSS Level 1 certified infrastructure. Full card numbers are never stored by 88fd — only tokenised references that cannot be used for transactions outside the platform.
Access Controls
Access to player data within 88fd is strictly role-based. Only team members with a legitimate operational need can view personal data, and all access is logged and audited regularly.
No Data Selling
88fd does not sell, rent or share your personal data with third-party advertisers or data brokers under any circumstances. Your information is used solely to operate your account and comply with legal obligations.
Regular Security Audits
88fd's platform and data infrastructure undergo regular independent security assessments. Vulnerabilities are patched promptly and our security posture is reviewed against current threat intelligence on an ongoing basis.
3. How We Use Your Data
88fd uses your personal data for specific, clearly defined purposes. We do not use your data for anything beyond what is described below:
- Account Management: To create and maintain your 88fd account, process deposits and withdrawals, manage bonus balances and respond to account-related queries.
- Identity Verification: To confirm you are who you say you are and that you meet the 18+ age requirement, as required for responsible gaming compliance.
- Payment Processing: To execute deposits and withdrawals via your chosen PKR payment method and to maintain transaction records as required for financial compliance.
- Fraud & Security: To detect and prevent fraudulent activity, money laundering, bonus abuse, multi-accounting and unauthorised access to player accounts.
- Customer Support: To handle queries, investigate complaints and resolve disputes in a timely and informed manner.
- Responsible Gaming: To monitor gaming behaviour and identify patterns that may indicate problem gambling, and to apply responsible gaming controls when requested or required.
- Legal Compliance: To comply with applicable laws, respond to lawful requests from regulatory and law enforcement authorities, and maintain records as required by law.
- Platform Improvement: To analyse anonymised, aggregated usage data in order to improve the 88fd platform and user experience. This analysis does not involve identifying individual players.
- Marketing Communications: To send promotional offers, bonus notifications and platform updates — but only to players who have opted in to marketing communications. See Section 11 for details and opt-out instructions.
4. Legal Basis for Processing
88fd processes your personal data on the following legal grounds depending on the purpose of processing:
| Processing Purpose | Legal Basis |
|---|---|
| Account creation and management | Performance of contract |
| Processing deposits and withdrawals | Performance of contract |
| Identity and age verification | Legal obligation & legitimate interests |
| Fraud prevention and security monitoring | Legitimate interests |
| Responsible gaming monitoring | Legal obligation & legitimate interests |
| Anti-money laundering compliance | Legal obligation |
| Sending marketing communications | Consent (opt-in) |
| Platform analytics and improvement | Legitimate interests (anonymised data) |
| Responding to support queries | Performance of contract & legitimate interests |
Where 88fd processes data on the basis of legitimate interests, we have assessed that those interests do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms in the context of how the data is used. You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests — see Section 9 for details.
5. Data Sharing & Third Parties
88fd does not sell your personal data. We share data only in the following limited and necessary circumstances:
5.1 Payment Processors
To process your deposits and withdrawals, 88fd shares the minimum necessary data with our payment service providers — Easypaisa, JazzCash, NayaPay, SadaPay, IBFT-connected banks and Visa/Mastercard processing networks. These providers act as data processors under contractual obligations that require them to handle your data securely and only for payment processing purposes.
5.2 Identity Verification Services
Where automated identity verification is used, your submitted documents may be processed by a third-party KYC (Know Your Customer) service provider. This provider operates under strict data processing agreements and may retain only what is necessary for the verification check.
5.3 Game Software Providers
When you play games provided by third-party game studios, limited data — typically your anonymised player ID and session details — may be shared with the provider to facilitate gameplay and resolve technical disputes. Your full name, CNIC details or payment information are not shared with game providers.
5.4 Legal & Regulatory Disclosures
88fd may be required to disclose your personal data to law enforcement agencies, regulatory authorities or courts where required by law. We will comply with such requests where legally obligated to do so. Where legally permissible, we will attempt to notify you of such a request in advance.
Important: 88fd will never voluntarily disclose your personal data to any government authority, advertiser, data broker or any other party without a legal obligation or your explicit prior consent. We actively challenge overly broad data requests from third parties where legally possible.
6. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
88fd uses cookies and similar technologies on its website to ensure the platform functions correctly, to maintain your session while logged in, and to collect anonymised analytics data that helps us improve the experience for Pakistani players. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking cookies.
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Duration | Can Be Disabled? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Session management, login authentication, CSRF protection | Session / 24 hrs | No — required for platform to function | |
| Anonymised page view counts, feature usage, error logging | 30 days | Yes — opt out via account settings | |
| Storing language preference, display settings, game filter selections | 90 days | Yes — clearing cookies resets preferences |
You can control cookie behaviour through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies will prevent you from logging in or using core platform features. Blocking analytics or preference cookies will not affect your ability to place bets or manage your account.
7. Data Security Measures
Protecting your personal data is a core operational responsibility at 88fd, not a compliance checkbox. The following technical and organisational measures are in place to safeguard your information:
- TLS/SSL Encryption in Transit: All data transmitted between your browser and 88fd servers is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher. Connections over older, insecure protocols are rejected.
- AES-256 Encryption at Rest: Personal data stored in 88fd's databases is encrypted at rest using AES-256, the same standard used by financial institutions worldwide.
- Tokenised Payment References: Full card numbers and mobile wallet credentials are never stored by 88fd. We hold only tokenised identifiers issued by payment providers.
- Role-Based Access Control: Employees can only access the player data categories their role requires. All data access is logged with user ID, timestamp and reason.
- Regular Security Testing: Our infrastructure undergoes scheduled penetration testing and vulnerability assessments. Critical vulnerabilities are patched within 24 hours of identification.
- Data Breach Response: 88fd has a documented incident response plan. In the event of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will notify affected players within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach and provide clear guidance on recommended actions.
Despite these measures, no platform can guarantee absolute security. We strongly encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your 88fd account, enable any available two-factor authentication, and contact support immediately if you suspect unauthorised access.
8. Data Retention
88fd retains your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a defined period after account closure. The specific retention periods applicable to different data categories are as follows:
- Account and Identity Data: Retained for the lifetime of your account plus 5 years after closure. This period is required for anti-money laundering compliance and to handle any post-closure disputes or regulatory enquiries.
- Transaction Records: Retained for 7 years from the date of the transaction, in line with standard financial record-keeping requirements.
- Gaming & Betting History: Retained for 3 years following account closure. During the active account period, full bet history is retained and accessible in your account.
- Support Interaction Records: Retained for 2 years from the date of the interaction.
- Marketing Preference Data: Retained until you withdraw consent or close your account, whichever comes first. Opt-out records are retained indefinitely to prevent accidental re-enrolment.
- Device & Technical Logs: Retained for 90 days and then automatically purged, except where specific log entries are retained as evidence in an ongoing investigation.
When retention periods expire, personal data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised. Anonymised data — which cannot identify any individual player — may be retained indefinitely for statistical purposes.
9. Your Privacy Rights
As a player registered on 88fd, you have the following rights in respect of your personal data. These can be exercised at any time by contacting us at support@88fd.link:
Right of Access
Request a copy of all personal data 88fd holds about you. We will provide this within 30 days of your verified request in a portable, readable format.
Right to Rectification
Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data. Contact support with the correct information and we will update your records promptly.
Right to Erasure
Request deletion of your personal data. This right is subject to legal retention obligations — we cannot delete transaction records within their mandatory retention period, but we can delete data not subject to those requirements.
Right to Restrict Processing
Request that we limit how we use your data while you contest its accuracy or object to our processing. During a restriction period your data is stored but not actively used beyond what is legally required.
Right to Data Portability
Request your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format (such as CSV or JSON) so you can transfer it to another service. Applies to data you provided to us and that we process by automated means.
Right to Object
Object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. We will stop processing for marketing immediately on request. Objections to other processing are assessed case by case.
To exercise any of the above rights, email support@88fd.link with the subject line "Privacy Request" and describe your request clearly. We will acknowledge within 48 hours and resolve within 30 days. We may ask you to verify your identity before fulfilling a data request.
10. Children's Privacy
88fd is strictly an 18+ platform. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. Age verification is conducted during account registration and may be repeated at any point during your membership.
If a parent or guardian becomes aware that their child has registered on 88fd using false information, they should contact us immediately at support@88fd.link. We will close the account, refund any deposits to the original payment source and delete the associated personal data as quickly as possible.
Parental Notice: If you share a device with minors, we strongly recommend using parental controls to restrict access to 88fd. The platform does not implement age-gating at the browser level — parental controls at the device level are the most effective way to prevent underage access.
11. Marketing Communications
88fd may send promotional offers, bonus notifications and platform updates by email or SMS. We will only send marketing communications to players who have explicitly opted in to receive them, either at the point of registration or through their account settings at a later date.
Each marketing email or SMS from 88fd includes a clear, one-click unsubscribe option. You can also manage your communication preferences at any time through your account settings, or by contacting support at support@88fd.link. Opt-out requests are processed within 24 hours — you may receive one further communication after opting out if it was already queued in our sending system before your request was processed.
Withdrawing consent to marketing does not affect your ability to use 88fd, claim bonuses or access any platform features. Transactional messages — such as deposit confirmations, withdrawal notifications and support responses — are not marketing communications and will continue to be sent regardless of your marketing preferences.
12. Updates to This Policy
88fd may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal obligations or platform features. The date of the most recent update is displayed at the top of this page.
Where changes are material — for example, changes to what data we collect, how we use it or who we share it with — we will notify registered players by email before the updated policy takes effect. For minor clarifications or wording updates that do not substantively change your rights, we may update the policy without prior notification.
Continued use of 88fd after a policy update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the updated policy, you have the right to close your account and request data deletion as described in Section 9.
13. Contact & Complaints
