bdt8 Privacy Policy – How We Protect Your Personal Data
At bdt8, protecting the personal data of our Bangladeshi players is a responsibility we take seriously. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use and store it, and the rights you hold over your own data. We are committed to full transparency in every aspect of data handling on our platform.
How bdt8 Handles Your Privacy
This Privacy Policy governs the collection and processing of personal data across every interaction you have with the bdt8 platform. The six principles below reflect our core approach to player data.
Minimal Data Collection
bdt8 collects only the personal data that is strictly necessary to operate your account, process payments in BDT, verify your identity, and comply with anti-fraud obligations. We do not collect data beyond what is required for these stated purposes.
Secure Storage & Encryption
All personal data stored on bdt8 servers is protected using industry-standard encryption methods. Payment data is processed through Supported Payment Methods (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay) and is not stored in full on bdt8 infrastructure.
No Unauthorised Third-Party Sharing
bdt8 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data with unaffiliated third parties for their own commercial use. Data may be shared only with payment processors, identity verification partners, and fraud prevention services strictly as required to run the platform.
Your Rights Are Respected
Registered bdt8 players have the right to access, correct, and request deletion of their personal data. You may also withdraw consent for direct marketing at any time from within your account settings without affecting your ability to use the platform.
Defined Retention Periods
Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. Account data is typically retained for the lifetime of your active account plus a defined post-closure period required for compliance and audit purposes.
Policy Update Notifications
Whenever this Privacy Policy is materially updated, bdt8 will notify registered players via an in-platform notice prior to the changes taking effect. The effective date displayed at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
1 Introduction
1.1 bdt8 is an online gaming and sports betting platform serving players in Bangladesh. We are committed to maintaining the privacy and security of all personal data entrusted to us by our players. This Policy sets out a comprehensive account of our data processing practices in plain, accessible English so that every player understands exactly how their information is handled.
1.2 This Policy applies to all personal data collected through the bdt8 website, mobile interface, customer support communications, payment transactions, and any other channel through which a Player interacts with the bdt8 platform.
1.3 Throughout this Policy, "personal data" refers to any information that identifies or could reasonably identify a natural person — including names, contact details, device identifiers, payment account references, and behavioural data generated through platform usage.
1.4 All transactions on the bdt8 platform are denominated in Bangladeshi Taka (BDT). Payment processing is conducted through Supported Payment Methods including bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Dutch-Bangla Bank, City Bank, and BRAC Bank. Where personal data is shared with these providers, it is governed by this Policy and their own applicable data handling terms.
2 Personal Data We Collect
2.1 bdt8 collects personal data through several distinct channels. The categories of data collected, and the circumstances in which they are collected, are set out below:
| Data Category | Examples | Collection Point |
|---|---|---|
| Registration Data | Full name, date of birth, mobile number, preferred payment method | Account registration form |
| Identity Verification (KYC) | National ID number, passport scan, utility bill, selfie photograph | KYC verification process |
| Financial Data | Mobile wallet reference (bKash/Nagad/Rocket number), bank account alias, transaction history in BDT | Deposit and withdrawal operations |
| Usage & Behavioural Data | Pages visited, games played, bet history, session duration, login timestamps (BST) | Platform activity tracking |
| Device & Technical Data | IP address, browser type, operating system, device model, screen resolution | Automatic collection on site access |
| Communications Data | Support chat transcripts, email correspondence, feedback submissions | Customer support interactions |
| Marketing Preferences | Opt-in or opt-out status for promotional communications, preferred notification channel | Account settings and registration opt-ins |
2.2 bdt8 does not intentionally collect sensitive personal data categories such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, biometric data (beyond identity photograph verification), or health data, except where the Player voluntarily discloses such information in the context of a responsible gaming self-assessment or support communication.
2.3 Where personal data is provided about a third party (for example, a nominated emergency contact for responsible gaming purposes), the Player warrants that they have obtained the consent of that individual before providing their data to bdt8.
3 How We Use Your Personal Data
3.1 bdt8 uses the personal data we collect for the following specific and legitimate purposes:
- Account Management: To create, maintain, and administer your bdt8 player account, including verifying your identity at registration and during the KYC process.
- Payment Processing: To facilitate BDT deposits and withdrawals via Supported Payment Methods, verify the ownership of payment accounts, and maintain accurate transaction records.
- Platform Operation: To deliver the sports betting, live casino, slots, crash games, and other gaming services available on the bdt8 platform, including personalising your gaming experience based on platform usage history.
- Fraud Prevention & Security: To detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent activity, money laundering, multi-accounting, bonus abuse, and other prohibited conduct as defined in the bdt8 Terms and Conditions.
- Responsible Gaming: To monitor gambling behaviour for signs of problem gambling, administer self-exclusion and deposit limit requests, and comply with responsible gaming obligations applicable to the platform.
- Customer Support: To respond to enquiries, resolve disputes, and provide technical assistance via our 24/7 live chat and email support channels.
- Legal & Compliance Obligations: To fulfil record-keeping, audit, and reporting requirements imposed by applicable laws and regulatory frameworks.
- Marketing Communications: To send promotional offers, bonus notifications, and platform updates to Players who have opted in to receive such communications. Marketing communications can be disabled at any time from within account settings.
- Platform Improvement: To analyse aggregated, anonymised usage data to improve platform performance, game offerings, payment flows, and the overall player experience.
3.2 bdt8 will not use your personal data for any purpose that is incompatible with the purposes listed above without first seeking your explicit consent or where otherwise permitted by applicable law.
4 Legal Basis for Processing
4.1 bdt8 processes personal data only where a valid legal basis exists. The primary legal bases relied upon are as follows:
- Contractual Necessity: Processing is necessary to perform the contract between bdt8 and the Player (i.e., the Terms and Conditions governing the player account). This covers account creation, payment processing, and the delivery of gaming services.
- Legitimate Interests: Processing is necessary for the legitimate interests pursued by bdt8, including fraud prevention, security monitoring, platform improvement, and responsible gaming oversight — provided such interests are not overridden by the Player's fundamental rights and freedoms.
- Legal Obligation: Processing is necessary to comply with applicable legal obligations, including anti-money laundering requirements, identity verification obligations, and the retention of financial transaction records.
- Consent: Where processing is not covered by the bases above — specifically in relation to direct marketing communications and the use of non-essential cookies — bdt8 relies on the Player's freely given, informed, and specific consent. Players may withdraw this consent at any time.
5 Data Sharing & Third-Party Disclosure
5.1 bdt8 does not sell, rent, or otherwise transfer personal data to unaffiliated third parties for their own independent marketing or commercial purposes. Personal data is shared externally only in the following circumstances and only to the extent necessary:
- Payment Processing Partners: When you initiate a deposit or withdrawal, relevant payment reference data is shared with the applicable Supported Payment Method provider (e.g., bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Dutch-Bangla Bank, City Bank, BRAC Bank) to complete the transaction.
- Identity Verification Providers: During the KYC process, identity documents and related data may be shared with specialist third-party identity verification service providers to confirm your identity and age.
- Fraud Prevention & Security Services: Device, IP, and behavioural data may be shared with fraud detection and prevention platforms to identify and mitigate risks to the integrity of the bdt8 platform.
- Game Providers: When you play casino games powered by third-party studios (including Pragmatic Play, Microgaming, NetEnt, Evolution Gaming, Ezugi, and Spribe), anonymised session and game result data is exchanged with those providers as required to operate the games. bdt8 does not share your full registration data with game studios.
- Legal & Regulatory Authorities: bdt8 will disclose personal data to law enforcement agencies, courts, or regulatory authorities where required to do so by applicable law, valid legal process, or to protect the rights and safety of bdt8 and its players.
- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of all or substantially all of bdt8's assets, player personal data may be transferred to the successor entity, subject to the same privacy protections as set out in this Policy.
5.2 All third-party service providers with whom bdt8 shares personal data are required by contract to process that data only for the specified purpose and to maintain security measures consistent with industry standards.
6 Cookies & Tracking Technologies
6.1 bdt8 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies (including local storage and session tokens) to operate, secure, and improve the platform. Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you access the bdt8 website.
6.2 The categories of cookies used by bdt8 are as follows:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the bdt8 platform to function. They maintain your login session, preserve your account preferences, and ensure secure access to your account. These cookies cannot be disabled without severely impairing platform functionality.
- Functional Cookies: These cookies remember your preferences (such as preferred language settings, bet interface layout, and notification preferences) to provide a more personalised experience. They persist across sessions.
- Analytics Cookies: bdt8 uses anonymised analytics data to understand how players navigate the platform, which games are most popular, and where technical improvements can be made. This data is aggregated and does not identify individual players.
- Marketing Cookies: Where a Player has opted in to marketing communications, cookies may be used to track which promotional content you have been shown, to avoid repetition and to measure campaign effectiveness. These are placed only with your consent.
6.3 You may manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent you from logging in to your bdt8 account or using core platform features.
7 Data Retention
7.1 bdt8 retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable legal obligations. The general retention framework applied by bdt8 is as follows:
- Active Account Data: Registration data, KYC documents, and account preferences are retained for the full duration of your active player account.
- Post-Closure Retention: Following account closure — whether initiated by the Player or by bdt8 — personal data and transaction records are retained for a minimum period of five (5) years to satisfy compliance, audit, and anti-money laundering record-keeping obligations.
- Support Communications: Records of customer support interactions are retained for a period of two (2) years from the date of the interaction.
- Marketing Data: Where a Player has opted in to marketing communications, their marketing preference data is retained until they opt out. Following opt-out, a suppression record is maintained to ensure that future marketing is not inadvertently sent.
- Technical & Log Data: Server logs, IP address records, and device data used for security and fraud monitoring are retained for a period of twelve (12) months.
7.2 At the end of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with an individual player.
8 Data Security
8.1 bdt8 implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or disclosure. These measures include:
- SSL/TLS Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and the bdt8 platform is protected by SSL/TLS encryption across every page, including login, account management, payment, and support pages.
- Encrypted Data Storage: Sensitive data fields — including identity document references, payment account references, and KYC records — are stored in encrypted form on bdt8 servers.
- Access Controls: Access to personal data within bdt8's internal systems is restricted on a need-to-know basis. Staff with access to player data are bound by confidentiality obligations and receive appropriate data handling training.
- Fraud Monitoring Systems: bdt8 operates automated systems to detect unusual account activity, suspicious login patterns, and potential data security incidents in real time.
- Incident Response: In the event of a data security incident that poses a material risk to players, bdt8 will notify affected players and take immediate remedial action to contain and address the incident.
8.2 While bdt8 takes all reasonable precautions to maintain data security, no online platform can guarantee absolute security against all possible threats. Players are advised to maintain strong, unique passwords for their bdt8 accounts and to report any suspected unauthorised access to support immediately.
9 Your Data Rights
9.1 As a bdt8 player, you hold the following rights in relation to your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, contact the bdt8 support team via the in-platform live chat or support email. bdt8 will respond to all verified requests within a reasonable timeframe:

If any personal data held by bdt8 is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that it be corrected. Some corrections may require re-verification via KYC.
Right to Erasure
You may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes collected, subject to bdt8's legal retention obligations and any outstanding compliance requirements.
Right to Restriction
You may request that bdt8 restrict the processing of your personal data in specific circumstances, such as while a data accuracy dispute is under review.
Right to Portability
Where processing is based on your consent or contractual necessity and is carried out by automated means, you may request your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
Right to Object
You have the right to object to processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interests, including direct marketing. An objection to marketing will be acted upon immediately.
10 Children & Minors
10.1 The bdt8 platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 years and above. bdt8 does not knowingly collect, process, or retain personal data belonging to any person under the age of 21.
10.2 Age verification is conducted during the registration process and as part of the KYC verification procedure. Where bdt8 discovers or reasonably suspects that an account has been registered by, or is being used by, a person under 21 years of age, the account will be immediately suspended pending investigation, and any associated personal data will be handled in accordance with applicable requirements.
10.3 If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a person under 21 in your care has provided personal data to bdt8 without your knowledge, please contact our support team immediately so that we can investigate and take the necessary steps.
11 Marketing Communications
11.1 bdt8 may send marketing communications — including information about promotions, bonuses, new game launches, and platform updates — to Players who have explicitly opted in to receive such communications during registration or through their account settings.
11.2 bdt8 will not send unsolicited marketing communications to Players who have not opted in, or to Players who are subject to an active self-exclusion or cooling-off period.
11.3 You may opt out of all marketing communications at any time by adjusting your notification preferences within your bdt8 account settings. Opt-out requests for email marketing will be processed within 48 hours. Withdrawing marketing consent does not affect your ability to use your bdt8 account for gaming purposes.
11.4 Certain transactional and account communications — such as deposit confirmations, withdrawal notifications, account security alerts, and this Privacy Policy update notices — are not classified as marketing and will be sent to all registered Players regardless of marketing preference settings, as they are necessary for account operation.
