1. Who We Are (Data Controller)

188 Coin operates the online gaming and sports betting platform accessible at 188coin.click. For the purposes of the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its implementing rules and regulations, 188 Coin is the data controller responsible for the personal data collected through this platform.

Our designated Data Protection Officer (DPO) can be reached through the contact details set out in Section 14 of this Privacy Policy. Any questions, concerns, or formal requests relating to personal data collected by 188 Coin should be directed to that contact point.

This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data collected from players, registered users, and visitors in connection with the 188 Coin platform, including all products — Live Casino, Pusoy, Sabong, Poker, Football Betting, and MMA Betting — and all associated account, payment, and support services.

Plain Language Summary

188 Coin is the company responsible for your personal data when you use this platform. We're bound by Philippine privacy law and take that responsibility seriously. If you have any questions about how we handle your data, contact us directly — we'll respond promptly.

2. Personal Data We Collect

188 Coin collects the minimum personal data necessary to operate the platform, verify player identity, process payments, and comply with legal obligations. The specific data types collected are set out below.

Identity Data
Full legal name, date of birth, nationality, gender
KYC / Account
Contact Data
Mobile number, email address, mailing address
Communication
Verification Documents
Government-issued ID (PhilSys, passport, UMID, driver's licence), proof of address

188 Coin does not intentionally collect sensitive personal information beyond what is required for identity verification — such as precise health data or political affiliations. Where government-issued identification contains sensitive fields not relevant to our verification process, those fields are not recorded or retained beyond the initial verification check.

3. How We Collect Your Data

188 Coin collects personal data through the following channels:

3.1 Directly From You

  • When you register for a 188 Coin account — name, contact details, date of birth
  • When you submit identity verification documents for KYC compliance
  • When you make a deposit or withdrawal using GCash, Maya, or a Philippine bank account
  • When you contact the 188 Coin support team via live chat or email
  • When you complete any survey, feedback form, or promotion entry on the platform

3.2 Automatically Through Platform Use

  • Session data collected when you log in, browse the platform, or place bets — including IP address, device information, and timestamps
  • Cookie data and similar tracking technologies — described in Section 7
  • Game and betting logs generated automatically when you use any 188 Coin product

3.3 From Third Parties

  • Identity verification results from accredited KYC service providers
  • Payment confirmation data from GCash, Maya, GrabPay, Coins.ph, and Philippine banking partners
  • Anti-fraud and anti-money-laundering (AML) screening results from compliance service providers
We Don't Buy Data

188 Coin does not purchase personal data from data brokers, social media platforms, or any third-party marketing source. All data we hold about you comes from your direct interaction with the platform or from the compliance and payment processors necessary to operate legally.

4. Why We Use Your Personal Data

188 Coin uses personal data only for legitimate, necessary purposes. The table below sets out our specific processing purposes and the data types involved.

Purpose Data Types Used Legal Basis
Account registration and management Identity, contact data Contract performance
Identity verification (KYC) Identity, verification documents Legal obligation
Processing deposits and withdrawals Financial data, identity data Contract performance
Anti-money laundering compliance Financial data, transaction history Legal obligation
Responsible gaming monitoring Gaming activity, financial data Legal obligation / Legitimate interest
Fraud detection and platform security Device data, IP, session logs Legitimate interest
Customer support and dispute resolution Communications data, account data Contract performance
Platform improvement and analytics Gaming activity, device data Legitimate interest (aggregated)
Promotional communications (opt-in only) Contact data, gaming preferences Consent

188 Coin does not use personal data for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects on players, without human review. Where automated screening flags an account for unusual activity, a human compliance team member reviews the case before any action is taken.

188 coin

Filipino players across all regions can enjoy 188 Coin's platform with confidence — your data stays protected and is never sold to third parties.

5. Legal Basis for Processing

Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act (RA 10173), 188 Coin relies on the following legal grounds to process your personal data:

  • Fulfilment of a contract: Processing necessary to provide you with the services you've registered for — account maintenance, game access, payment processing, and customer support.
  • Legal obligation: Processing required to comply with Philippine law, including anti-money laundering (AMLA), KYC requirements, responsible gaming regulations, and requests from competent authorities.
  • Legitimate interests: Processing carried out for 188 Coin's legitimate business interests — such as fraud prevention, platform security, and service analytics — provided these interests are not overridden by your rights as a data subject.
  • Consent: Where you have provided specific, informed consent — such as opting in to receive promotional emails or SMS from 188 Coin. Consent-based processing can be withdrawn at any time by contacting support or updating your communication preferences in the account settings.

Where 188 Coin processes personal data based on legitimate interests, we conduct a balancing assessment to ensure the processing is proportionate and does not unduly intrude on your privacy rights.

6. Who We Share Your Data With

188 Coin does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for commercial purposes. We share personal data only in the following limited circumstances:

6.1 Service Providers (Data Processors)

We engage trusted third-party service providers who process data on our behalf and under our instructions:

  • Payment processors: GCash (Mynt), Maya (PayMaya Philippines), GrabPay, Coins.ph, and Philippine banking partners — for processing deposits and withdrawals
  • KYC / identity verification providers: Accredited providers who perform document verification and liveness checks for account compliance
  • AML screening services: Compliance technology providers that screen transactions and accounts against watchlists
  • Cloud infrastructure and security providers: Hosting, database, and cybersecurity services that support platform operations
  • Customer support technology: Live chat and email platform providers used to deliver support services

All service providers engaged by 188 Coin are contractually bound to process data only for the specified purpose, maintain appropriate security measures, and not disclose data to any sub-processors without 188 Coin's prior approval.

6.2 Regulatory and Legal Authorities

188 Coin may disclose personal data to Philippine government agencies, law enforcement authorities, or courts where required by law — including but not limited to the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), the National Privacy Commission (NPC), and the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR). Such disclosures are made strictly to the extent required by law and are documented.

6.3 Business Transfers

In the event that 188 Coin undergoes a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, player data may be transferred as part of that transaction. Where this occurs, 188 Coin will notify affected players in advance and ensure the receiving entity maintains the same privacy standards as this Policy.

No Advertising Data Sharing

188 Coin never shares your personal data with advertising networks, social media platforms, or data brokers for marketing purposes. If you receive targeted advertising from 188 Coin on other platforms, it is based solely on anonymised, aggregated audience data — never your individual identifiable information.

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

188 Coin uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the platform to provide a functional, secure, and personalised experience. A cookie is a small file placed on your device when you visit a website. The types of cookies used by 188 Coin are:

7.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the 188 Coin platform to function. They maintain your login session, prevent cross-site request forgery attacks, and remember your betting preferences within a session. These cannot be disabled without breaking core platform functionality.

7.2 Analytical / Performance Cookies

These cookies help 188 Coin understand how players use the platform — which pages are most visited, where errors occur, and how players navigate between products. Data collected is aggregated and anonymised. No individual player profiles are built from analytical cookies.

7.3 Security and Fraud Prevention Cookies

These cookies track session behaviours to identify and prevent suspicious activity, including account takeover attempts, automated betting scripts, and multi-accounting. They are a necessary part of 188 Coin's security infrastructure.

7.4 Preference Cookies

These cookies remember your chosen language settings, display preferences, and notification preferences between sessions.

You can manage cookie settings through your browser. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will affect your ability to log in and use the platform normally. 188 Coin does not use third-party advertising cookies or track your activity across unrelated websites.

8. How Long We Keep Your Data

188 Coin retains personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected and to comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations. The general retention periods are:

Data TypeRetention PeriodReason
Account registration dataDuration of account + 5 years after closureLegal obligation / AML
KYC verification documentsDuration of account + 5 years after closureRegulatory compliance
Transaction / payment records7 years from transaction dateAMLA requirements
Gaming activity / bet history5 years from the date of each sessionDispute resolution / compliance
Support / communications data3 years from last interactionDispute resolution
Device / technical / log data12 months rollingSecurity / fraud prevention
Marketing consent recordsUntil consent is withdrawn + 2 yearsAccountability obligation

After the applicable retention period has elapsed, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised such that it can no longer be linked to an individual. Where anonymised data is retained for analytical purposes, it is no longer considered personal data under the Philippine Data Privacy Act.

Players who close their 188 Coin account may request deletion of their personal data. However, data subject to legal retention obligations (such as transaction records under AML regulations) cannot be deleted before the legally mandated period has elapsed.

188 Coin is built for Filipino players — secure, compliant, and privacy-respecting wherever you play in the Philippines.

10. Data Security

188 Coin implements a multi-layered security framework to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction:

  • Encryption in transit: All data transmitted between your device and the 188 Coin platform is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher (256-bit SSL). This protects your data on any network, including public Wi-Fi.
  • Encryption at rest: Sensitive personal data — including identity document details and financial data — is encrypted in our databases using AES-256 encryption.
  • PCI-DSS compliant payment processing: Payment transactions are handled by certified PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant processors. 188 Coin does not store full card numbers on its own servers.
  • Access controls: Internal access to personal data is restricted to staff with a legitimate operational need, enforced through role-based access controls and multi-factor authentication for administrative systems.
  • Security monitoring: The 188 Coin platform is monitored continuously for intrusion attempts, anomalous behaviour, and data exfiltration patterns by a dedicated security team.
  • Regular audits: Our security infrastructure undergoes periodic third-party security assessments and penetration testing.

10.1 Data Breach Response

In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in harm to affected individuals, 188 Coin will notify the National Privacy Commission (NPC) within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, in accordance with NPC Circular No. 2016-03. Affected players will be notified directly via their registered email address without undue delay, along with guidance on steps they can take to protect themselves.

11. Children and Minors

188 Coin strictly prohibits registration and platform use by individuals under the age of 21 years. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 21. The registration process requires users to confirm their date of birth, and identity verification processes are designed to catch underage registration attempts.

If 188 Coin becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a minor, the account will be immediately suspended, all funds will be returned to the verified payment source, and the data will be deleted as quickly as legally permissible. If you believe a minor has registered at 188 Coin, please contact us immediately at support@188coin.click.

12. Third-Party Links

The 188 Coin platform does not contain links to external third-party websites for commercial or advertising purposes. Where links to internal pages or regulatory resources are included (such as the NPC website or PAGCOR), those websites operate under their own privacy policies, which are independent of this Policy.

188 Coin is not responsible for the privacy practices of any website operated by a third party, including payment providers' own platforms. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any third-party service you use in connection with 188 Coin — particularly your chosen e-wallet or bank.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

188 Coin may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the products we offer, or applicable legal requirements. When material changes are made, we will notify registered players by email to their registered address and post a prominent notice on the platform.

The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent revision. If you continue using 188 Coin after a policy update takes effect, you are deemed to have accepted the revised version. If you do not agree with the updated Policy, you should cease using the platform and request account closure.

Non-material changes — such as typo corrections, formatting updates, or minor clarifications that do not alter the substance of the Policy — may be made without notice.

The NPC is the independent government body responsible for enforcing the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and can be contacted through the official channels published on their website. 188 Coin encourages players to contact us first so we can resolve concerns directly — but we fully respect your right to escalate to the NPC if needed.
