Your Privacy Matters

v98 Privacy Policy

At v98, keeping your personal information safe is something we take seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect when you use our platform, why we collect it, how it is used, and what your rights are as a registered player in Pakistan.

Last Updated: January 2026

Privacy at a Glance

Six things you should know about how v98 handles your data. The full policy below is the binding version — these cards are a plain-language summary.

We Only Collect What We Need

v98 collects personal data only to the extent necessary to operate your account, process PKR deposits and withdrawals, and deliver the gaming experience. We do not collect data for data collection's sake.

Your Data Is Encrypted

All data transmitted between your device and v98 is protected using industry-standard TLS encryption. Sensitive account details and payment information are stored with additional layers of protection at rest.

We Do Not Sell Your Data

v98 does not sell, rent or trade your personal information to any third party for their marketing purposes. Data shared with service providers is strictly for the purpose of operating the platform.

PKR Payment Privacy

When you deposit or withdraw via JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast or Bank Transfer, your transaction details are handled securely. v98 does not store full payment credentials — only the reference details needed to verify your transaction.

You Control Your Data

You have the right to access, correct or request deletion of your personal data at any time. Requests are handled by our support team, usually within 7 working days of receipt.

Transparent Cookie Use

v98 uses cookies to keep your session active, remember your preferences and analyse platform usage. No third-party advertising cookies are used to track you across other websites.

1 Who We Are

v98 is an online entertainment platform providing sports betting, live casino, slots, fish games and related services primarily to players in Pakistan. When this Privacy Policy refers to "v98", "we", "us" or "the platform", it means the v98 service accessible at v98.ad and any associated applications or tools.

For the purposes of data privacy, v98 acts as the data controller — meaning we determine the purposes and means of processing the personal information you provide when you register and use the platform. This Privacy Policy describes your rights and our responsibilities in relation to that data.

If you have questions about how your personal information is handled, you can reach our support team at any time. Contact details are provided in Section 13 of this policy.

2 Data We Collect

v98 collects personal data in several ways — directly from you when you register or use the platform, automatically when you browse or play, and occasionally from third-party services that help us operate the platform. Here is a breakdown of the main categories:

Category Examples When Collected
Identity Data Full name, date of birth, CNIC or passport number At registration or identity verification
Contact Data Email address, phone number At registration or account update
Financial Data PKR transaction references, payment method type, deposit/withdrawal history When you make a deposit or withdrawal
Usage Data Games played, bets placed, session duration, pages visited Automatically during platform use
Technical Data IP address, device type, browser, operating system Automatically on each visit
Communications Data Support chat logs, emails sent to v98 When you contact support

We do not collect sensitive personal data such as biometric data, health information or religious beliefs unless you voluntarily provide it in a support communication. In that case it is used only to resolve your query and is not stored beyond what is necessary.

Identity Verification: For certain account actions — particularly first withdrawals above a set PKR threshold — we may ask you to submit a scan or photo of your CNIC or another government-issued ID. This is a standard industry practice to protect your account and prevent fraud. These documents are stored securely and are not shared with parties outside the verification process.

3 How We Use Your Data

Every piece of data v98 collects has a clear purpose. We do not use your information for anything beyond what is described below:

  • Account Management: To create, maintain and secure your v98 account. This includes processing your registration, verifying your identity and enabling login.
  • Transaction Processing: To process PKR deposits and withdrawals via JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast and Bank Transfer, and to maintain an accurate record of your balance and transaction history.
  • Gaming Services: To deliver the betting, casino, slots and fish games experience — including recording bet outcomes, applying bonus credits and calculating VIP tier rewards.
  • Customer Support: To respond to your queries, resolve disputes and handle responsible gaming requests such as deposit limits or self-exclusion.
  • Platform Improvement: To analyse how the platform is used in aggregate so we can improve performance, fix issues and develop better features for Pakistan players.
  • Security & Fraud Prevention: To detect, investigate and prevent fraudulent activity, duplicate accounts, money laundering and other prohibited conduct described in our Terms and Conditions.
  • Communications: To send you service-related notifications — such as deposit confirmations, withdrawal status updates and important platform announcements. Marketing communications are only sent where you have opted in.
  • Responsible Gaming: To monitor gaming patterns where necessary to identify signs of problem gaming behaviour and, where appropriate, to make responsible gaming tools available proactively.

We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects without human oversight. Where automated systems flag an account for review — for example, due to suspected fraud — a human team member reviews the case before any action is taken.

4 Legal Basis for Processing

v98 processes your personal data on one or more of the following lawful grounds, depending on the specific activity:

  • Contract Performance: Processing your registration data, financial data and gaming activity is necessary to deliver the services you signed up for under our Terms and Conditions.
  • Legitimate Interests: Fraud detection, platform security, abuse prevention and aggregate usage analysis are carried out on the basis of v98's legitimate interest in operating a safe and reliable platform — balanced against your right to privacy.
  • Legal Obligation: In certain circumstances, we may be required to process or retain data to comply with legal obligations, including anti-money laundering requirements and responses to lawful authority requests.
  • Consent: Where we send you optional marketing communications or use non-essential cookies, we do so only with your consent. You can withdraw consent at any time via your account settings or by contacting support.

5 Sharing Your Data

v98 does not sell your personal data. We share it only in the following circumstances and only to the extent necessary:

  • Payment Processors: When you make a deposit or withdrawal, your transaction data is shared with the relevant payment provider — JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast or your bank — to complete the transaction. These providers have their own privacy policies governing how they handle data.
  • Game Providers: Third-party casino and slot game providers receive the minimum data necessary to deliver their games within the v98 platform. This typically includes a pseudonymous player ID and bet/win amounts — not your full personal identity.
  • Identity Verification Services: Where identity verification is required, your ID documents may be processed by a trusted third-party verification service. These providers are bound by strict data processing agreements.
  • IT & Security Providers: Our hosting, security monitoring and platform infrastructure partners may process technical data as part of normal operations. All such providers are contractually obligated to protect your data.
  • Legal & Regulatory Requests: We may disclose personal data if required to do so by a valid legal process, court order, or to protect the rights, property or safety of v98, our players or others.
No Advertising Data Sharing

v98 does not share your personal data with advertising networks, social media platforms or data brokers for targeting or profiling purposes. Any analytics we use are configured to anonymise data before processing.

6 Payment Data & PKR Transactions

All financial transactions on v98 are conducted in Pakistani Rupees (PKR). Payment methods currently supported include JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast, Bank Transfer and debit/credit cards. Here is how we handle your payment-related data:

  • v98 does not store your full mobile wallet PIN, bank account password or card CVV at any point. These are handled directly by your payment provider.
  • We retain transaction reference numbers, timestamps, PKR amounts and the payment method type to maintain your account's financial record and to support any withdrawal or dispute queries.
  • Deposit and withdrawal histories are accessible to you via your account dashboard at any time.
  • Payment data is retained for the period required by our internal financial record-keeping policy and any applicable legal obligations. See Section 8 for retention periods.
  • All payment data in transit between your device and v98 — and between v98 and payment providers — is encrypted using TLS.

If you believe there is an error in your transaction history or a discrepancy in your PKR balance, contact support immediately. We will investigate and respond within 3 business days for standard queries, or sooner for urgent matters.

7 Cookies & Tracking

v98 uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to make the platform work properly and to understand how it is being used. We use the following types of cookies:

  • Essential Cookies: These are required for the platform to function. They keep you logged in during your session, remember your language preference and maintain security tokens. Without these, the platform cannot work correctly. You cannot opt out of essential cookies.
  • Analytics Cookies: These help us understand which parts of v98 are most used, how long sessions typically last and where players encounter issues. The data collected is aggregated and anonymised — it does not identify you personally.
  • Preference Cookies: These remember your platform settings — such as display preferences or notification choices — so you do not have to reconfigure them every time you visit.

v98 does not use third-party advertising cookies or tracking pixels that follow you across other websites. If we introduce any new cookie types in the future, this policy will be updated and you will be notified.

You can manage or clear cookies via your browser settings at any time. Disabling essential cookies will prevent you from logging in or using core platform features.

8 Data Retention

v98 retains your personal data only for as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected, or as required by applicable legal obligations. The following general retention guidelines apply:

  • Active Account Data: Retained for as long as your account remains open. If you request account closure, active data is scheduled for deletion or anonymisation within 90 days, subject to the exceptions below.
  • Financial & Transaction Records: Retained for a minimum of 5 years from the date of each transaction to support financial record-keeping and any dispute resolution requirements.
  • Identity Verification Documents: Retained for the duration of your account plus a minimum of 3 years following account closure, in line with anti-money laundering best practices.
  • Support Communications: Retained for 2 years following the resolution of the relevant query, unless the matter is subject to ongoing dispute or legal proceedings.
  • Technical & Usage Logs: Typically retained for 12 months, after which they are either deleted or fully anonymised.
After Account Closure: When your account is closed — whether at your request or by v98 — certain data is retained for the periods above. This is not to continue marketing to you, but to maintain accurate financial records, handle any late disputes and comply with legal obligations.

9 Security Measures

Protecting your personal data is a priority for v98. We implement a range of technical and organisational security measures to prevent unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure of your information. These include:

  • TLS encryption for all data in transit between your device and v98 servers.
  • Encryption of sensitive data fields at rest in our databases.
  • Access controls limiting who within v98 can view personal account data — only those with a clear operational need can access it.
  • Regular security reviews and penetration testing of the platform infrastructure.
  • Monitoring systems that detect and alert on unusual access patterns or potential breaches in real time.
  • Secure password hashing — v98 does not store your password in plain text under any circumstances.

Despite these measures, no system is completely immune to risk. In the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your personal information, v98 will notify affected users promptly with details of what happened, what data was involved and what steps are being taken to address it.

On your side, the most important security step is to keep your v98 password strong and confidential. Do not reuse passwords across different platforms and enable any two-factor authentication features available in your account settings.

10 Your Rights

As a registered player on v98, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, contact our support team with your registered email address and a description of your request.

Right of Access

Request a copy of the personal data v98 holds about you. We will provide this within 7 working days.

Right to Rectification

Ask us to correct inaccurate personal data held in your account at any time.

Right to Erasure

Request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal retention obligations described in Section 8.

Right to Restrict Processing

Ask us to limit how we use your data while a query or complaint is being resolved.

Right to Data Portability

Request your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format where technically feasible.

Right to Withdraw Consent

Where processing is based on consent — such as marketing emails — you can withdraw it at any time without affecting prior use.

We will acknowledge all data rights requests within 48 hours and aim to resolve them within 7 working days. Complex requests may take longer, in which case we will keep you updated on progress.

11 Children's Privacy

v98 is strictly an adult platform. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. Our registration process requires users to confirm they are 18 or older, and age verification checks are carried out as part of our standard account review process.

If v98 becomes aware that a minor has registered an account or that personal data of a minor has been inadvertently collected, that account will be suspended immediately and all associated personal data will be deleted as soon as technically possible. If you believe a minor has registered on v98 using false age information, please contact support immediately so the account can be reviewed and closed.

Parents and guardians should be aware that v98 provides tools — such as device-level parental controls — to help prevent minors from accessing online gaming platforms. We encourage responsible use of such tools in any household where minors are present.

12 Changes to This Policy

v98 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the platform, our data practices, or applicable legal requirements. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will always show when the most recent revision was made.

For significant changes — such as a new category of data collection or a new type of third-party sharing — we will notify registered players via a notice on the platform or by email to your registered address. For minor updates that do not materially change how your data is handled, the updated policy will be published here without a separate notification.

We recommend bookmarking this page and checking it periodically. Continued use of v98 after a policy update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. If you disagree with a change, you should stop using the platform and contact support to discuss your options, including account closure.
