Overview

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how PG Games ("PG Games," "we," "us," "our") collects, uses, stores, and discloses personal information from players and visitors ("you") who access and use the PG Games website at pggames.bet and all associated services, including online casino games, PSL Betting, Teen Patti, Poker, Slots, Crash Games, and any promotional activities (collectively the "Platform").

We take data privacy seriously — not because we are required to, but because we believe players deserve to understand exactly how their information is handled. This Policy is written in plain English so that players in Pakistan can read it without needing a legal dictionary. If anything here is unclear, please contact us at support@pggames.bet and we will explain it directly.

By registering a PG Games account or by continuing to use the Platform after this Policy is updated, you consent to the practices described in this document. If you do not agree, you should stop using the Platform and contact us to close your account.

Plain Language Summary: PG Games collects only the information needed to operate your account, process payments in PKR, prevent fraud, and improve the platform. We do not sell your data to third parties. You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your data at any time by contacting us.

How We Protect Your Data

PG Games applies multiple layers of technical and organisational security to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction:

  • 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption on all data transmitted between your device and our servers — the same standard used by major Pakistani banks.
  • Encrypted data storage for all personal and payment data at rest, using industry-standard encryption algorithms.
  • Role-based access controls so that only team members who need access to specific data categories to perform their job function can access them. No single employee has access to the full set of player data.
  • Two-factor authentication available for all player accounts and mandatory for all PG Games staff accounts.
  • Regular security audits and penetration testing by qualified external security professionals.
  • Incident response procedures — in the event of a data breach affecting your personal data, PG Games will notify affected players within 72 hours of becoming aware of the incident, describing what data was affected and what steps we are taking.

Your Role in Security: PG Games' security systems protect data on our side, but you also have a role in protecting your account. Use a strong, unique password for your PG Games account, enable two-factor authentication, and never share your login credentials with anyone. If you think your account has been compromised, contact support immediately.

How Long We Keep Your Data

PG Games retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. The following retention periods apply:

  • Active account data: Retained for the lifetime of your active PG Games account plus 5 years after account closure, to comply with anti-money laundering and financial record-keeping requirements.
  • KYC identity documents: Retained for 7 years from the date of submission, in line with regulatory requirements applicable to gaming platforms.
  • Transaction records: Retained for 7 years from the date of each transaction to meet financial record-keeping obligations.

  • Support communications: Retained for 3 years from the date of the last communication.
  • Marketing preference records: Retained until you withdraw consent plus 2 years as evidence of your consent status.

When the applicable retention period expires, data is securely deleted or anonymised. Anonymised data — which can no longer be attributed to any individual — may be retained indefinitely for statistical analysis and platform improvement purposes.

Your Data Rights

As a PG Games player, you have the following rights in respect of your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, email support@pggames.bet with the subject line "Privacy Request – [Your Username]." We will respond within 5 business days.

Right of Access
You can request a copy of all personal data PG Games holds about you. We will provide this in a readable format within 5 business days. There is no charge for a first access request in any 12-month period.
Right to Rectification
If any data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you can ask us to correct it. Account details such as your mobile number and email address can be updated directly from your account settings. Changes to identity data require KYC re-submission.
Right to Erasure
You can request deletion of your personal data. Note that we are legally required to retain certain data (KYC records, transaction history) for defined periods even after account closure. We will delete everything we are not legally obliged to keep.
Right to Restriction
You can ask us to restrict processing of your data while a dispute about accuracy or a legal challenge is pending. During the restriction period, we will store your data but not process it for any other purpose.
Right to Portability
You can request your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format (JSON or CSV) so you can transfer it to another service. This right applies to data you provided to us directly and which we process on the basis of your consent or contract.
Right to Withdraw Consent
Where we process your data based on consent — such as marketing communications — you can withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before you withdrew. Update preferences in account settings or email us.
11
Children and Minors

The PG Games Platform is strictly for users aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. If you are under 18, you must not register an account or attempt to use the Platform in any way.

If PG Games becomes aware that a registered account belongs to a minor, we will immediately close the account, return any real money balance to the payment method used for deposits (after deducting any bonuses received), and delete all personal data associated with the account to the extent not required for legal compliance purposes.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child may have created a PG Games account, please contact us immediately at support@pggames.bet and we will investigate and act promptly.

12
Third-Party Links

The PG Games Platform does not contain links to third-party websites as part of the standard user interface. If you access the Platform through a link from a third-party source — for example, an affiliate website or a social media post — PG Games is not responsible for the privacy practices of that third-party source.

Once you are on the PG Games Platform itself, any data you provide is governed exclusively by this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites or services you use independently of PG Games.

13

PG Games may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, changes in applicable regulations, or improvements to our services. When material changes are made, we will:

  • Update the "Effective" date shown at the top of this page
  • Display a notice on the PG Games Platform for at least 30 days after the change takes effect
  • Where the change materially affects how we process your data, send a notification to your registered email address

We encourage you to review this Policy periodically. Your continued use of the Platform after a Policy update is posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy. If you disagree with any changes, you may close your account by contacting support and requesting account closure.

We will never make changes to this Policy that result in your data being sold to third parties or being used for purposes materially inconsistent with those described here without obtaining your explicit consent first.

PG Games Data Protection Commitments

The specific technical and organisational measures protecting your data every day

End-to-End Encryption
All data between your device and PG Games servers travels over 256-bit SSL/TLS encrypted connections — the same standard used by major Pakistani banks. We never transmit personal or payment data in plain text under any circumstances.
Role-Based Data Access
Only the PG Games team members who genuinely need access to specific data to do their jobs can see it. Payment data is not visible to game support agents. Identity documents are not accessible to marketing staff. Access is logged and audited.
Breach Notification in 72 Hours
In the unlikely event of a data security incident affecting your personal information, PG Games will notify you within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach — explaining what happened, what data was affected, and what steps we are taking to address it.
No Full Card Numbers Stored
PG Games never stores full payment card numbers. Card transactions use a tokenised processing system where your full card number is handled by a PCI-DSS certified payment processor — never by PG Games systems. We only store the last 4 digits and expiry date.
Annual Security Audits
PG Games undergoes annual independent security audits and penetration testing. Vulnerabilities identified are classified by severity and remediated according to a defined SLA — critical issues within 24 hours, high-severity within 7 days.
Zero Data Sales Policy
PG Games has a strict zero-data-sales policy. Your personal information is never sold, rented, or traded to any third party for their own marketing or commercial use. We share data only with service providers who help us operate your account — never for advertising profit.
