This Privacy Policy explains what personal data pkabet collects, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, and what rights you hold over your own information. We are committed to handling your data with transparency and care — whether you are accessing the platform from Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad or anywhere else in Pakistan.
Six principles that guide every data decision we make at pkabet. The full legal detail follows in the policy clauses below.
We only collect information that is genuinely necessary for account registration, KYC verification, payment processing and regulatory compliance. We do not gather data beyond what each specific purpose requires.
pkabet does not sell, rent or commercially trade your personal data to any third party. Data sharing with partners is limited to what is strictly required to deliver our services and is governed by binding data-processing agreements.
All data in transit is protected via TLS encryption. Sensitive account and payment data is stored using industry-standard encryption at rest. Access controls, audit logging and regular security reviews are applied across all systems.
You have the right to access, correct, export or request deletion of your personal data. You may also object to certain processing activities or withdraw marketing consent at any time — without affecting your core account access.
We use cookies to keep your session active, remember preferences and analyse platform usage patterns. Non-essential cookies require your consent. You can review and update your cookie choices at any time through your account settings.
We do not keep your data indefinitely. Retention periods are tied to the purpose for which data was collected — for example, transaction records required for financial compliance are held for the period mandated by the applicable licensing authority.
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") is issued by the operator of pkabet (collectively referred to as "pkabet", "we", "us" or "our") and applies to all users who access the pkabet platform at pkabet.cam ("Platform"), including users accessing the Platform from Pakistan and other jurisdictions where access is permitted.
pkabet is an English-language online betting and casino information platform. We are committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of every user. This Policy describes the categories of personal data we collect, the purposes for which that data is processed, the legal bases on which we rely, how long we retain data, and the rights available to you as a data subject.
By accessing the Platform, creating an Account, making a deposit or otherwise using our services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this Policy, please discontinue use of the Platform.
For the purposes of this Policy, the following terms have the meanings set out below:
pkabet collects personal data across several touchpoints. The categories below reflect the full scope of data that may be collected depending on how you interact with the Platform.
When you create an Account, we collect the information you provide, including: full legal name, date of birth, email address, contact telephone number and residential address (city, country). This data is required to create and maintain your Account and to verify your eligibility.
To process withdrawals and comply with applicable anti-money laundering (AML) obligations, we may request and process copies of government-issued identification documents (such as a Pakistani CNIC or passport), proof of address and, where required, source-of-funds documentation. References to Easypaisa or JazzCash account statements as examples of payment-method verification are for contextual illustration only and do not imply endorsement by those institutions.
We collect records of deposits, withdrawals, bonuses and wagering activity. Payment method details necessary to process transactions are handled by our payment processing partners; pkabet does not store full payment card numbers on its own servers.
We automatically collect technical data when you use the Platform, including:
When you contact our support team via email or live chat, we retain records of those communications, including the content of your enquiry and our responses, for quality assurance and complaint resolution purposes.
Where you have given consent to receive promotional communications, we record and process your marketing preferences. You may withdraw this consent at any time by updating your Account settings or contacting support.

pkabet processes your personal data for the following purposes. Each purpose is linked to a legal basis, which is detailed in Section 5.
pkabet processes personal data in accordance with recognised legal bases. The principal bases on which we rely are:
Processing required to perform our contractual obligations to you under the Account Terms & Conditions — including account creation, bet settlement, payment processing and KYC verification — is carried out on the basis that it is necessary for the performance of a contract with you.
Processing required to comply with AML regulations, age verification requirements, financial record-keeping obligations and any other duties imposed on the operator by the applicable licensing jurisdiction is carried out on the basis of legal obligation.
Processing for fraud prevention, platform security, responsible gambling monitoring and service analytics is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests as a platform operator, where those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms as a data subject.
Processing for marketing communications, non-essential cookies and certain profiling activities is carried out on the basis of your freely given, specific and informed consent. You may withdraw consent at any time without penalty to your core account access.
pkabet does not sell your personal data. We may share your data with third parties only in the circumstances described below, and only to the extent strictly necessary for the stated purpose.
We engage third-party service providers to support Platform operations. These providers act as Processors under binding data-processing agreements and include:
We may disclose personal data to regulatory authorities, licensing bodies or law enforcement agencies where required to do so by applicable law, court order or binding regulatory direction. Such disclosures are made only to the extent required and, where legally permissible, we will notify you before complying.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring or sale of assets involving pkabet, personal data may be transferred to the successor entity as part of that transaction. In such circumstances, this Policy will continue to apply to your data, or you will be notified of material changes in advance.
Where required to prevent or investigate fraud, money laundering or other prohibited conduct, we may share relevant data with fraud prevention agencies, gaming industry integrity bodies or other operators participating in shared responsible gambling or self-exclusion schemes.
pkabet operates infrastructure and engages service providers that may be located in jurisdictions outside the country from which you access the Platform. As a result, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own.
Where data is transferred internationally, pkabet ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place, which may include:
Users in Pakistan should be aware that Pakistani data protection legislation may differ from the data protection framework applied by pkabet's licensing jurisdiction. By using the Platform, you acknowledge that your data may be processed outside Pakistan under the safeguards described above.
pkabet uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the Platform. This section explains what cookies we use, why we use them and how you can manage your preferences.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the Platform to recognise your device across sessions, retain preferences and gather usage analytics. Similar technologies such as localStorage, session storage and pixel tags may also be used.
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Consent Required |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Session management, login authentication, security tokens | No — essential for Platform function |
| Functional | Language preferences, remembered settings, display options | Yes |
| Analytics | Aggregated usage data, page performance monitoring | Yes |
| Marketing / Targeting | Promotion delivery, bonus personalisation | Yes |
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through your Account settings or via your browser's built-in cookie management tools. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may impair your ability to use core Platform features, including logging in and maintaining an active session.
pkabet 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, regulatory or licensing obligations. The following general retention periods apply:
| Data Category | Retention Period | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Account registration data | Duration of account + 5 years after closure | Legal/regulatory obligation |
| KYC / identity documents | Duration of account + 5 years after closure | AML compliance requirement |
| Financial transaction records | Duration of account + 5 years after closure | Financial record-keeping obligation |
| Support communications | 3 years from date of communication | Legitimate interests / complaint resolution |
| Marketing preference records | Until consent is withdrawn + 1 year | Consent; legal obligation to evidence opt-in |
| Technical / usage logs | 13 months from collection | Legitimate interests / security |
Following the expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised in a manner that prevents re-identification. Anonymised, aggregated data may be retained indefinitely for statistical and product development purposes.
Subject to the data protection framework applicable in pkabet's licensing jurisdiction, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our support team using the details in Section 14.
We aim to respond to all data rights requests within 30 days of receipt. Where a request is complex or involves a high volume of data, we may extend this period by a further 60 days, in which case we will notify you of the extension and the reason for it.
The pkabet Platform is strictly intended for adults aged 18 years and over, or the higher minimum age required by the applicable operator or licensing jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 18.
If we become aware that personal data has been collected from a minor, we will take immediate steps to delete that data and close the associated Account. If you believe that a minor has registered an Account or submitted personal data to pkabet, please contact our support team immediately using the details in Section 14.
The 18-year age threshold does not imply that participation in online gambling is lawful for adults in Pakistan. Users are solely responsible for verifying compliance with applicable local laws.
pkabet implements technical and organisational security measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction or alteration. These measures include:
While we apply industry-standard security controls, no system is entirely immune to attack. In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in significant risk to affected individuals, pkabet will notify the relevant supervisory authority and affected users in accordance with applicable breach notification obligations.
pkabet reserves the right to update or replace this Privacy Policy at any time. Where changes are material — for example, a new category of data processing, a change to our data sharing practices or a change to your rights — we will notify registered Account Holders via the email address associated with their Account and/or display a prominent notice on the Platform for a reasonable period prior to the changes taking effect.
Continued use of the Platform following publication of an updated Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. The effective date of the current version is displayed at the top of this page. We recommend reviewing this Policy periodically to stay informed about how your data is protected.
If you do not agree with any material change to this Policy, you may request closure of your Account by contacting our support team. Account closure does not affect data we are legally required to retain under applicable AML, financial record-keeping or licensing obligations.
If you have any questions, concerns or requests relating to this Privacy Policy or the processing of your personal data, please contact the pkabet data team through the following channels:
For responsible gambling support — including self-exclusion, deposit or loss limits, or referrals to external resources — please visit our dedicated Responsible Gambling page or raise a request via live chat or email.
