This Privacy Policy explains how jl988 collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects the personal information of Filipino players who register and play on jl988.co. It is written in plain language with the legal substance required under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173).
jl988 operates jl988.co, a PAGCOR-licensed online casino and sports betting platform for Filipino players. As part of our operations, we collect and process personal information about the people who use our platform. This Privacy Policy describes what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, who we may share it with, and what rights you hold over your own data under Philippine law.
This Policy applies to all personal data processed by jl988 in connection with the jl988.co website, mobile applications, customer support interactions, and all related jl988 services — whether you are a registered player, a visitor browsing the site, or someone who has contacted jl988 support without creating an account.
By creating a jl988 account, depositing funds, or using any jl988 service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and consent to the collection and processing of your personal data as described herein. If you do not agree to this Policy, you must not use the jl988 Platform.
For the purposes of the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its implementing rules, jl988 acts as the Personal Information Controller in respect of all personal data collected through the jl988 Platform. This means jl988 determines the purposes and means of processing your personal information.
Where jl988 engages third-party service providers to process personal data on its behalf — such as payment processors, KYC verification providers, or game software providers — those parties act as Personal Information Processors under jl988's instruction and are bound by data processing agreements that require them to maintain standards consistent with RA 10173 and this Privacy Policy.

jl988 shares personal data only where necessary for the purposes described in this Policy and only with parties who are contractually or legally obligated to protect it. Categories of recipients include:
jl988 does not share personal data with any third party for commercial marketing purposes without your explicit prior consent. Any consent for marketing data sharing can be withdrawn by you at any time through your account preferences or by contacting jl988 support.
jl988 retains personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Key retention periods are as follows:
When the retention period for any personal data expires and no other legal basis for continued retention exists, jl988 will securely delete or irreversibly anonymise the data in accordance with RA 10173's data disposal requirements.
jl988 implements technical and organisational security measures proportionate to the risk associated with the personal data we process. These measures include, but are not limited to:
jl988 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on jl988.co and the jl988 mobile application. Cookies are small data files placed on your device that enable certain platform functionality and allow jl988 to recognise your device across sessions.
The categories of cookies jl988 uses are:
jl988 does not use third-party advertising or behavioural profiling cookies that track your activity across other websites for commercial advertising purposes. You may manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling strictly necessary cookies will affect your ability to use the jl988 Platform.
As a data subject under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, you hold the following rights in respect of your personal data processed by jl988. These rights may be exercised by contacting jl988 support via live chat or email at any time:
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data jl988 holds about you and to receive information about how it is being processed.
You have the right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data. Certain corrections require re-submission of supporting documents for KYC compliance.
You may request deletion of your personal data where jl988 no longer has a lawful basis for retention. This right is subject to overriding legal obligations including PAGCOR and AMLA retention requirements.
You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interest, including direct marketing. Objection to processing required by law or contract may not be upheld.
Where technically feasible, you may request a copy of your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format to transfer to another service provider.
Where processing is based on your consent (e.g., marketing communications), you may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
jl988 will respond to data subject rights requests within 30 days of receipt. Where a request is complex or numerous, jl988 may extend this period by a further 30 days with notification to you. jl988 will not charge a fee for processing a rights request unless it is manifestly unfounded or excessive.
If jl988 becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under the age of 21 — whether through a falsified registration or any other means — jl988 will immediately suspend the relevant account, delete all personal data associated with the underage person to the extent permitted by law, and report the matter to PAGCOR as required by our licensing conditions.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child may have registered on jl988.co, please contact jl988 support immediately via live chat or at [email protected] (plain text — not a clickable link). jl988 will investigate and take appropriate action promptly.
Some of the third-party service providers that jl988 engages — particularly game software providers and certain technical infrastructure services — may be located or process data outside of the Philippines. Where personal data is transferred to a country that the National Privacy Commission (NPC) has not designated as having an adequate level of data protection, jl988 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place, which may include:
Cross-border transfers by jl988 are limited to what is strictly necessary for the provision of the services described in this Policy. jl988 does not transfer personal data to jurisdictions where its protection cannot be adequately guaranteed.
jl988 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, legal requirements, or the structure of our services. The current version, with its effective date, is always published at jl988.co/privacy-policy.
Where an amendment materially changes how we process your personal data or reduces your rights in any way, jl988 will notify registered players via their registered email address or via an in-platform notification with a minimum of 14 days' advance notice before the change takes effect.
Your continued use of the jl988 Platform following the effective date of any amendment constitutes your acknowledgement of the updated Policy. If you do not accept an amendment, you may close your account and request erasure of your data, subject to jl988's legal retention obligations.
To exercise your data subject rights, raise a privacy concern, or reach jl988's Data Protection Officer, contact us through the following channels:
If you are not satisfied with jl988's response to your privacy concern, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines (NPC), which is the supervisory authority responsible for enforcing RA 10173. The NPC's complaint procedure and contact details are published on the NPC's official government website.
Everything between your device and jl988 servers travels over 256-bit SSL/TLS — the same standard Philippine banks use for online banking. Your credentials, payment data, and personal information are never in plain text on the wire. At rest, sensitive records are encrypted with industry-standard symmetric encryption.
jl988's data handling practices are designed around the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 from the ground up — not retrofitted. Data minimisation, purpose limitation, storage limitation, and data subject rights are built into our systems and operating procedures, not handled purely as a policy exercise.
jl988 does not sell your personal data to advertisers, data brokers, or any third party for their commercial purposes. Your name, mobile number, address, and transaction history are used to operate your account and comply with Philippine law — nothing else. Your data is not a product here.
jl988 maintains a designated DPO responsible for oversight of RA 10173 compliance, handling data subject rights requests, liaising with the National Privacy Commission, and conducting privacy impact assessments for new data processing activities on the Platform.
jl988 doesn't keep your data indefinitely. We follow published retention periods tied to legal requirements — PAGCOR and AMLA obligations determine minimums, and we delete or anonymise data when those periods expire. You can request information about the retention period for any specific data category.
In the event of a data breach affecting your personal information, jl988 notifies the National Privacy Commission within 72 hours as required by RA 10173, and notifies affected players directly within a reasonable timeframe. We do not quietly patch breaches without informing the people affected.
