Privacy Policy for betnaija
At betnaija, the privacy and security of your personal data are among our highest priorities. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what information we collect from players in Bangladesh, how we use it, who we may share it with, and what rights you hold over your own data. We are committed to handling your information with full transparency and care.
Our Commitment
Six Privacy Principles We Live By
Full Transparency
We tell you exactly what data we collect, why we collect it, and how long we keep it. No hidden processing, no undisclosed third-party sales. What you read in this Policy is the complete picture of how betnaija handles your personal information.
Security First
All data transmitted between your device and betnaija is protected by 256-bit SSL encryption. Your account credentials are stored using industry-standard hashing algorithms. We conduct regular security audits to ensure your data remains protected at all times.
Your Data, Your Rights
You retain meaningful rights over your personal data at betnaija — including the right to access, correct, export, and in certain circumstances delete the information we hold about you. Submit any data rights request to our support team and we will respond within 14 days.
Data Minimisation
betnaija only collects personal data that is strictly necessary for providing our services — account management, payment processing, fraud prevention, regulatory compliance, and customer support. We do not collect data speculatively or in excess of what our operations require.
Local Data Awareness
betnaija's services are tailored for players in Bangladesh. We are mindful of the data handling expectations of our Bangladeshi user base and apply appropriate protections for sensitive personal information including National ID numbers, mobile wallet identifiers, and financial data.
No Unwanted Marketing
We will never sell your personal data to third-party advertisers. Marketing communications from betnaija are sent only with your consent, and you may opt out at any time by contacting our support team or adjusting your account notification preferences.
Section 1
Information We Collect
betnaija collects personal data from you through several channels: directly when you register an account, through your ongoing use of the platform, via automated tracking technologies, and in limited circumstances from third-party sources such as payment providers. The categories of personal data we collect are set out below.
1.1 Registration and Account Data
When you create a betnaija account, we collect the following information:
- Full name — as it appears on your official identity document.
- Date of birth — to verify that you meet the 18+ age requirement for participation on betnaija.
- Email address — used as your primary account identifier and for account communications.
- Mobile phone number — required for mobile wallet payment integration (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay) and for two-factor authentication where enabled.
- Username and password — your chosen credentials for accessing your betnaija account (passwords are stored in hashed form and are never accessible in plain text).
- Residential address — including city (e.g., Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi) and district within Bangladesh, collected for identity verification and regulatory compliance purposes.
- Preferred currency — Bangladeshi Taka (BDT / ৳).
1.2 Identity Verification (KYC) Data
As part of our Know Your Customer programme, we may collect copies of the following documents when required for account verification or before processing withdrawals:
- National Identity Card (NID) — the primary government-issued identity document in Bangladesh.
- Valid passport (biographical data page).
- Driving licence (where accepted as an alternative proof of identity).
- Proof of address document — such as a utility bill, bank statement, or official government correspondence dated within the last three months.
- Mobile wallet ownership confirmation — a screenshot or document from your bKash, Nagad, or Rocket account confirming the wallet is registered in your verified name.
KYC documents are treated as highly sensitive personal data. They are stored in encrypted form, accessed only by authorised compliance personnel, and are never shared with third parties except as required for mandatory regulatory compliance checks.
1.3 Financial Transaction Data
For every deposit and withdrawal processed through betnaija, we record:
- Transaction amount (in BDT ৳) and timestamp (Bangladesh Standard Time, UTC+6).
- Payment method used (e.g., bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Visa, Mastercard, Dutch-Bangla Bank).
- Mobile wallet number or partial card/account number associated with the transaction.
- Transaction reference numbers provided by the payment provider.
- Transaction status (pending, completed, failed, reversed).
Full card numbers and full mobile banking PINs are never stored by betnaija. Payment processing is handled through encrypted connections to our payment service providers.
1.4 Gaming Activity Data
We record detailed logs of your gaming activity on betnaija, including:
- Games played, session start and end times, bet amounts, and game outcomes.
- Bonus offers claimed, wagering progress, and bonus completion or expiry events.
- Sports betting markets, selections, stake amounts, and settlement outcomes.
- Crash game participation history (e.g., Aviator crash points, Tower game progress).
This gaming activity data is used to administer your account, calculate bonus eligibility, detect unusual activity that may indicate problem gambling or fraud, and resolve any disputes that arise regarding game outcomes or transaction records.
1.5 Technical and Device Data
When you access betnaija from any device, our servers automatically record certain technical information:
| Data Type | Description and Purpose |
|---|---|
| IP Address | Used for geolocation (to confirm Bangladesh-based access), fraud detection, and security monitoring. |
| Device Type and OS | Browser name and version, operating system (Android, iOS, Windows), and device model — used to optimise the betnaija experience for your device. |
| Session Timestamps | Login and logout times (BST), session duration — used for responsible gaming monitoring and security auditing. |
| Referral Source | The URL or channel through which you first arrived at betnaija — used for marketing attribution and affiliate management. |
| In-App Behaviour | Pages visited, features used, click patterns — used to improve platform usability and personalise your experience. |
1.6 Customer Support Communications
If you contact betnaija via live chat, email (support@betnaija), or any other support channel, we retain records of the full communication history — including the content of your messages, the date and time of each message, and the resolution provided. These records are retained to ensure consistent support quality and to protect both you and betnaija in the event of a subsequent dispute.
Section 2
How We Use Your Data
betnaija uses the personal data we collect for the following specific purposes. We process your data only where we have a legitimate legal basis for doing so — which in most cases is either the performance of our contract with you (providing the gaming services you have signed up for), compliance with our legal obligations, or our legitimate interests in operating a safe and fair platform.
2.1 Account Management and Service Delivery
The primary purpose for collecting your registration data is to create and maintain your betnaija account, verify your identity and age, process your deposits and withdrawals in BDT via your preferred Bangladesh payment method, administer bonus offers to your account, provide access to the full games library, and deliver customer support when you need it.
2.2 Identity Verification and Regulatory Compliance
betnaija is obligated to conduct identity verification checks to confirm that all players are at least 18 years of age and to satisfy applicable anti-money laundering (AML) requirements. KYC data is processed solely for this purpose and is not used for marketing or any other secondary purpose.
2.3 Fraud Prevention and Security
We analyse account activity, transaction patterns, and technical data to identify and prevent fraudulent activity, multi-accounting, bonus abuse, money laundering, and unauthorised account access. This processing is essential to protecting both the integrity of betnaija and the security of all our players' accounts and funds.
2.4 Responsible Gaming Monitoring
betnaija uses gaming activity data — including session frequency, bet escalation patterns, loss chasing behaviour, and deposit velocity — to proactively identify players who may be exhibiting signs of problem gambling. Where our monitoring systems flag a concern, a trained responsible gaming team member may reach out to offer support resources and information about our self-exclusion tools. See our Responsible Gaming page for full details of the tools available to you.
2.5 Marketing Communications
With your explicit consent, betnaija may send you promotional communications about new games, seasonal offers (such as BPL cricket promotions, Eid bonuses, and Pohela Boishakh specials), deposit bonus opportunities, and other betnaija news. You may withdraw your consent to marketing communications at any time by contacting our support team at support@betnaija. Withdrawal of marketing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before the withdrawal.
2.6 Platform Improvement and Analytics
Aggregated and anonymised data about how players use betnaija — which games are most popular, which pages have the highest exit rates, what device types are most common among our Bangladesh player base — is used to inform product development decisions, optimise platform performance, and improve the overall user experience. This analytics processing uses data in aggregate form and does not involve decisions made about individual players.
Section 3
Data Sharing and Disclosure
betnaija does not sell your personal data to any third party under any circumstances. We share your personal data only in the limited and specific circumstances described below, and only to the extent strictly necessary for the stated purpose.
3.1 Payment Service Providers
To process your deposits and withdrawals, betnaija shares the minimum necessary financial data with our payment processing partners — including bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Dutch-Bangla Bank, City Bank, and international card networks (Visa, Mastercard). The data shared is limited to what is required to authenticate and settle the specific transaction. Our payment partners are contractually bound to process this data solely for payment purposes and are prohibited from using it for any secondary purpose.
3.2 Game Providers
betnaija partners with game providers including Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, and Ezugi to deliver its games library. When you launch a game provided by a third-party studio, a session token and anonymised player identifier (not your full name or NID) may be transmitted to that provider's game server to authenticate your session and record game outcomes. Game providers do not receive your full personal profile.
3.3 Identity Verification Partners
Where automated identity verification services are used to assist with KYC checks, your submitted identity documents and associated personal data may be processed by our third-party verification partner. All verification partners used by betnaija are contractually obligated to process data only for identity verification purposes, to maintain appropriate data security standards, and to delete submitted documents promptly after verification is complete.
3.4 Legal and Regulatory Disclosure
betnaija may disclose your personal data to law enforcement authorities, regulatory bodies, or courts where we are required to do so by law, by a valid court order, or where we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to prevent fraud, money laundering, or imminent harm. We will notify you of any such disclosure where we are legally permitted to do so.
3.5 Business Transfers
In the event that betnaija undergoes a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction. You will be notified of any such transfer and of any resulting changes to this Privacy Policy via your registered email address before the transfer takes effect.
Section 4
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
betnaija uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on its platform to enable essential functionality, improve performance, and — with your consent — personalise your experience. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. The cookies used by betnaija fall into the following categories:
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Required? |
|---|---|---|
| Essential / Functional | Maintain your login session, remember your account preferences, enable secure page navigation, and support in-game functionality. Without these cookies betnaija cannot function. | Yes — always active |
| Performance / Analytics | Collect anonymised data about how players navigate betnaija — pages visited, time on page, error events — to help us identify and fix usability issues and improve platform performance. | Consent-based |
| Responsible Gaming | Track session duration on-device to support time-limit reminder features and responsible gaming monitoring tools. | Yes — player protection |
| Marketing / Attribution | Record the source through which you arrived at betnaija (e.g., via a promotional link or affiliate partner) to attribute bonuses and promotional offers correctly. | Consent-based |
4.1 Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can control non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, or to be notified before a cookie is stored. Please note that disabling essential cookies will impair your ability to log in and use betnaija. Instructions for managing cookies in the most common browsers used in Bangladesh are available from your browser provider's support documentation.
Adjusting your browser cookie settings affects only your current device and browser. If you use betnaija across multiple devices — for example, a smartphone running Android and a desktop — you will need to configure cookie preferences on each device separately.
Section 5
Data Security and Storage
betnaija implements a range of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our key security measures include:
- 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption on all data transmitted between your device and betnaija servers.
- Password hashing using industry-standard one-way hashing algorithms — your password is never stored in readable form.
- Access controls — personal data is accessible only to authorised betnaija personnel on a strict need-to-know basis, governed by role-based access policies.
- Encrypted data storage for all sensitive personal data including KYC documents and financial records.
- Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments conducted by our internal security team.
- Intrusion detection systems that monitor for unusual access patterns and alert our security team to potential breaches in real time.
5.1 Data Breach Response
In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, betnaija will notify affected players without undue delay — and in any event within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach — via their registered email address. The notification will include: the nature of the breach, the categories of data affected, the likely consequences, and the steps betnaija has taken or proposes to take to address it.
5.2 Data Storage Location
betnaija stores player personal data on secure servers. Data processing and storage arrangements are managed to ensure appropriate security standards are maintained at all times. Where data is processed by third-party service providers (e.g., payment processors, game providers), those providers are contractually required to maintain security standards equivalent to those applied by betnaija itself.
Section 6
Your Privacy Rights
As a betnaija player, you hold the following rights in respect of your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, contact our support team at support@betnaija. We will acknowledge your request within two business days and provide a substantive response within 14 days of receipt of all information necessary to process the request.
Right of Access
You have the right to request a copy of all personal data that betnaija holds about you, along with information about how it is being used. We will provide this in a structured, commonly used format.
Right to Rectification
If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct it. For minor corrections (e.g., a misspelled city name), contact support directly. For changes to identity-critical data (e.g., your name or date of birth), you may be required to provide supporting documentation.
Right to Erasure
In certain circumstances, you may request that betnaija delete your personal data. Please note that this right is not absolute — we are required to retain certain data (such as financial transaction records and KYC documents) for minimum statutory retention periods, even after account closure. We will inform you of any data that cannot be erased and the reason for retention.
Right to Data Portability
You may request an export of your personal data in a machine-readable format (e.g., JSON or CSV) for the data you provided to us directly — such as your account registration data and gaming history. This enables you to transfer your data to another service provider if you choose.
Right to Restrict Processing
You may ask betnaija to restrict the processing of your personal data in specific circumstances — for example, where you contest the accuracy of the data or where you have objected to processing pending verification of whether betnaija's legitimate grounds override your interests.
Right to Withdraw Marketing Consent
Where betnaija processes your data for marketing communications based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal. After withdrawal, you will no longer receive promotional emails or in-platform marketing notifications from betnaija.
Section 7
Data Retention Policy
betnaija retains your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable legal and regulatory obligations. The following retention periods apply to the main categories of data we hold:
| Data Category | Retention Period | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Account Registration Data | Duration of account + 5 years after closure | AML compliance, dispute resolution, re-registration prevention |
| KYC / Identity Documents | 5 years after account closure | Mandatory regulatory retention requirements |
| Financial Transaction Records | 7 years after the transaction date | Financial record-keeping and AML obligations |
| Gaming Activity Logs | 3 years after last activity | Dispute resolution, responsible gaming monitoring |
| Customer Support Records | 3 years after ticket closure | Dispute history, service quality assurance |
| Marketing Consent Records | Duration of consent + 1 year | Proof of consent for compliance purposes |
| Technical / Device Logs | 12 months | Security monitoring, fraud investigation |
Once a retention period has expired, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with you as an individual. Anonymised aggregate data (e.g., statistical platform usage reports) may be retained indefinitely as it no longer constitutes personal data.
Section 8
Updates to This Policy
betnaija reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, changes in applicable law, new service features, or new categories of data we collect. When we make a material change to this Policy, we will notify you in advance via your registered email address and by displaying a prominent notice on the betnaija platform for a period of at least 14 days before the change takes effect.
