Privacy Policy — How 177bdt Collects, Uses, and Protects Your Data
Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains exactly what personal information 177bdt collects from Bangladesh players, why we need it, how it is stored, and the rights you hold over your own data.
177bdt ("the Platform", "we", "us", "our") is an internationally operated online casino and sports betting service. We are committed to protecting the privacy of all individuals ("User", "you", "your") who access, register with, or otherwise use the 177bdt platform, including all pages, games, betting markets, payment features, promotions, and support services.
This Privacy Policy describes the categories of personal data we collect, the purposes for which that data is processed, the parties with whom it may be shared, the security measures we employ to protect it, and the rights available to you regarding your personal information. This policy applies to all personal data processed through the 177bdt platform and is incorporated by reference into the Terms & Conditions.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable legal requirements. The revised policy will be published on this page with an updated effective date. Your continued use of the Platform following publication of any changes constitutes your acceptance of those changes. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
1. Data Controller
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, the data controller responsible for your personal information is the operator of the 177bdt platform. 177bdt operates as an offshore entity and the platform is accessible internationally, including to players based in Bangladesh.
All enquiries relating to this Privacy Policy, requests to exercise your data rights, or concerns about how your personal information is handled should be directed to the 177bdt support team via live chat inside the app, or by email at [email protected] (plain text — not a clickable link). We aim to respond to all privacy-related enquiries within 10 business days.
2. Personal Data We Collect
We collect personal data in the categories described below. We collect only what is necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy.
Data we do not collect: 177bdt does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. We do not collect sensitive personal data such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, biometric data (beyond identity document verification), or health data, except where directly relevant to a responsible gaming self-exclusion request.
3. How We Use Your Personal Data
4. Legal Basis for Processing
177bdt processes your personal data on the following legal bases:
- Contractual necessity: Processing required to deliver the services you have requested — account management, bet settlement, payment processing, and KYC verification.
- Legal obligation: Processing required to comply with applicable anti-money laundering, counter-terrorism financing, and responsible gaming obligations binding on offshore gaming operators.
- Legitimate interests: Processing for fraud detection, platform security, responsible gaming monitoring, and aggregate analytics, where these interests are not overridden by your data protection rights.
- Consent: Processing for optional promotional communications, where you have provided explicit opt-in consent. You may withdraw this consent at any time without affecting your account access.
5. Data Sharing & Disclosure
We may share your personal data with the following categories of third parties, strictly to the extent necessary for the purposes described in this policy:
- Payment processors: bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay receive the minimum transaction data required to process your deposit or withdrawal. These providers operate under their own privacy policies and are responsible for the security of data within their own systems.
- Game content providers: Providers such as Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, and Ezugi may receive a session token and account identifier to authenticate game sessions. They do not receive your full identity or financial data.
- Identity verification services: Third-party KYC and document verification providers process identity documents on our behalf under strict data processing agreements and are prohibited from using your data for any purpose other than verification.
- Fraud prevention and compliance providers: Specialist providers that assist in detecting fraudulent activity, money laundering, and multi-account abuse. Data shared is limited to what is necessary for the specific investigation.
- Legal and regulatory authorities: Where required by applicable law, court order, or regulatory request, we may disclose personal data to relevant authorities. We will notify you of such disclosure where we are legally permitted to do so.
- Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of the 177bdt platform, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity. You will be notified of any such transfer and the acquiring entity will be bound by the terms of this Privacy Policy.
All third-party processors engaged by 177bdt are bound by contractual obligations that require them to process personal data only on our documented instructions and to implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures.
6. Data Retention
6.1 Active accounts. Personal data associated with an active 177bdt account is retained for as long as the account remains open and for a minimum period of five years following account closure or the last transaction, whichever is later. This retention period reflects standard offshore gaming compliance requirements for financial record-keeping and audit purposes.
6.2 KYC documents. Identity verification documents are retained for a minimum of five years following the verification decision. Copies of documents may be retained for longer where required by applicable anti-money laundering obligations.
6.3 Transaction records. All deposit, withdrawal, and betting transaction records are retained for a minimum of five years for financial audit and dispute resolution purposes.
6.4 Support communications. Live chat records and written correspondence are retained for 24 months from the date of the conversation, unless the communication relates to an open dispute, in which case retention continues until the dispute is resolved and any applicable appeals period has expired.
6.5 Technical logs. IP address logs, session logs, and device data are retained for 12 months for security investigation purposes, after which they are deleted or anonymised.
6.6 Promotional consent. Records of your promotional communication consent or opt-out are retained for the lifetime of your account and for five years following closure, to demonstrate compliance with your stated preferences.
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised. Anonymised aggregate data may be retained indefinitely for analytics purposes.
7. Data Security
177bdt implements a range of technical and organisational security measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include:
- SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and the 177bdt platform.
- Encrypted storage for passwords, identity documents, and sensitive financial identifiers. Passwords are stored using a one-way cryptographic hash and are never accessible in plain text.
- Access controls: Personal data is accessible only to personnel who require it to perform their role. Access is governed by role-based permissions and reviewed regularly.
- Intrusion detection and real-time monitoring systems to identify and respond to suspicious access attempts.
- Regular security reviews of our infrastructure, including vulnerability assessments of the platform's data handling systems.
While we take the security of your personal data seriously, no transmission over the internet or electronic storage system is guaranteed to be 100% secure. We cannot provide an absolute guarantee against all security threats. In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a high risk to your rights, we will notify affected users without undue delay.
You also have a responsibility for account security. You should use a strong, unique password, never share your login credentials with any other person, and contact 177bdt support immediately if you suspect unauthorised access to your account.
8. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
The 177bdt platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to provide a functional, secure, and personalised experience. The categories of cookies we use are as follows:
- Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function. These include session authentication cookies that keep you logged in during your visit, and security cookies that help detect and prevent fraudulent activity. These cookies cannot be disabled without impairing your ability to use the platform.
- Functional cookies: Used to remember your preferences, such as preferred language, game settings, and responsible gaming configurations, so you do not need to re-enter them on each visit.
- Analytics cookies: Used to collect anonymised data about how users navigate and interact with the Platform. This data helps us identify popular features and areas where the user experience can be improved. Analytics data is aggregated and does not identify individual users.
You may manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Please note that disabling essential cookies will prevent you from logging in and using core platform features. 177bdt does not use third-party advertising or retargeting cookies.
9. Your Data Rights
Depending on applicable law, you may have the following rights in relation to your personal data held by 177bdt:
- Right of access: You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you and information about how it is processed.
- Right to rectification: You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data held in your account. Some data, such as your registered name and date of birth, may require KYC re-verification before it can be updated.
- Right to erasure: You may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, where you withdraw consent (for consent-based processing), or where you object to processing. Please note that this right may be limited where we are required to retain data for legal compliance or dispute resolution purposes.
- Right to restriction: You may request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, for example while the accuracy of data is being verified.
- Right to data portability: Where processing is based on consent or contractual necessity, you may request a copy of your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Right to object: You may object to processing based on legitimate interests. We will cease such processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms.
- Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on your consent (e.g., promotional communications), you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact the 177bdt support team via live chat inside the app or by email at [email protected]. We will respond within 10 business days. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request.
10. Minors & Age Restriction
The 177bdt platform is an adult gambling service. Use is restricted to individuals who are 21 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect, store, or process personal data from individuals under this age limit. If we become aware that personal data has been collected from an individual under the age of 21, we will immediately close the associated account, void any transactions, and delete the personal data from our systems.
If you believe that a person under the age of 21 has registered an account on the 177bdt platform, please contact us immediately via live chat or at [email protected] so that we may take appropriate action.
11. Third-Party Links & Services
The 177bdt platform integrates third-party game content from providers including Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, and Ezugi. When you launch a game from one of these providers, a game session is established within the provider's own environment. Each provider operates under its own privacy policy and is independently responsible for data processed within its game environment.
177bdt does not control and is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party game providers or payment service partners. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with in connection with the platform.
12. Changes to This Privacy Policy
177bdt reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. Changes will be published on this page with a revised effective date. Where a change is material — for example, a significant new category of data collection or a new third-party disclosure — we will take reasonable steps to notify active account holders via in-app notification or the contact details registered to their account.
Your continued use of the 177bdt platform following publication of any revised Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not accept the revised policy, you must discontinue use of the platform and may request account closure through the support team.
