1Policy Introduction & Scope

This Privacy Policy explains how 18j ("we", "our platform") collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal information when you use our website and services at 18j.bet. We take this responsibility seriously because your trust is the foundation of our relationship.

This policy applies to all users of the 18j platform — whether you are a registered member, a casual visitor, or anyone interacting with our services. By registering or continuing to use our platform, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

We comply with international data protection standards and continuously update our practices in line with technological developments and relevant legal changes. Our primary goal is simple: to ensure your personal data is managed exactly as you would expect — securely, transparently, and only for purposes you understand and accept.

This Privacy Policy should be read together with Terms & Conditions ours. Both documents together form the complete agreement between you and 18j regarding the use of the platform.

2Data We Collect

We only collect data that is strictly necessary to operate our services safely and efficiently. There is no excessive or irrelevant data collection beyond the platform's core functions. The following are the categories of data we collect:

Data Category Example Information Primary Purposes
Identity Information Full name, date of birth, identity card number Identity verification (KYC), age restrictions
Contact Information Email address, phone number, residential address Account communications, important notifications
Financial Information Bank account number, bank name, e-wallet details Processing deposits and withdrawals
Usage Data Activity logs, betting records, session duration Responsible gaming, platform analytics
Technical Data IP address, browser type, operating system, device Security, fraud detection
Cookie Data User preferences, login sessions, analytics User experience, site performance

In addition to data you provide directly, we also collect information automatically when you use our platform — such as access logs, technical error logs, and in-game interaction data. All of this is used solely to ensure the platform runs smoothly and securely for all users.

For the KYC verification process, you may be asked to submit a copy of your identification document. This document is stored using high-grade encryption and is only accessible by authorised personnel.

3How We Use Your Data

Every piece of data we collect has a clear purpose. We do not use your data for purposes unrelated to the services you use. The following are the primary purposes of data use:

  • Account management: Creating, verifying, and managing your account — including the login process, two-factor authentication, and password recovery.
  • Transaction processing: Processing deposits, withdrawals, and fund transfers safely and efficiently using your chosen payment method.
  • Identity verification (KYC): Complying with legal requirements related to identity verification and anti-money laundering (AML).
  • Customer support services: Responding to enquiries, resolving complaints, and providing technical assistance to you.
  • Platform security: Detecting and preventing fraudulent activity, account abuse, and other security threats.
  • Responsible gaming: Monitoring gameplay patterns to identify players who may need support and to comply with responsible gaming guidelines.
  • Service improvements: Analysing how users interact with the platform to improve the experience, fix bugs, and introduce new features.
  • Marketing communications: Sending information about the latest promotions and offers — only if you have given consent to receive such communications.
You may withdraw consent to receive marketing communications at any time through your account settings or by contacting our support team.

4Data Sharing

This is what many users want to know most — and our answer is clear: we do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for their own marketing purposes. Full stop.

However, there are certain situations where we need to share your data with carefully selected third parties, and this is done solely to enable us to deliver our services to you:

  • Payment providers: To process your deposits and withdrawals, we need to share the necessary financial information with the bank or e-wallet provider you use. All our payment providers are subject to strict confidentiality agreements.
  • Game providers: The 18j platform offers games from a variety of licensed providers. Minimum information required to run the games may be shared with the relevant providers in a secure environment.
  • Identity verification services: Third parties that assist us in verifying your KYC documents operate under strict security standards and use your data solely for verification purposes.
  • Legal authority: If required by law, court order, or a lawful request from the relevant authorities, we may need to disclose certain information. This is done only when there is no other option and only to the extent required by law.
  • Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, user data may be transferred as part of that process. You will be notified in advance if this occurs.
All third parties working with 18j are bound by data processing agreements that require them to protect your information to a standard equivalent to our own.

5Data Security

We use the latest security technologies and procedures to protect your data from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Security is not just an add-on feature — it is at the core of how we build and operate the 18j platform.

  • 256-bit SSL encryption: All communications between your browser and our servers are protected by industry-grade 256-bit SSL encryption. This means your data remains encrypted at all times while in transit.
  • Stored data encryption: Sensitive data such as financial information and KYC documents are encrypted at rest on our servers, not only during transmission.
  • Two-factor authentication (2FA): We offer and encourage the use of 2FA for all accounts to add an extra layer of security beyond a standard password.
  • Internal access controls: Only specifically authorised staff may access users' personal data, and every access is recorded in an audit log stored securely.
  • 24/7 monitoring: Our systems are monitored around the clock to detect and respond to any suspicious activity or intrusion attempts in real time.
  • Regular security audits: We conduct regular penetration testing and security audits using independent security experts to ensure our systems remain robust at all times.
While we employ the best security measures available, no system is 100% impenetrable. If you suspect your account has been accessed without authorisation, please contact our support team immediately.

6Cookies & Tracking Technologies

The 18j platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance the user experience, maintain session security, and understand how users interact with our platform. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our website.

  • Essential cookies: These cookies are required for the platform's basic functions — including login session management, security, and language preferences. Without these cookies, certain parts of the platform will not function properly.
  • Performance & analytics cookies: Helping us understand how users interact with the platform — which pages are visited most, how long users spend on the platform, and where they encounter issues. This data is used to improve the user experience.
  • Functional cookies: Saving your preferences such as preferred language, display settings, and login information to make your next visit to the platform more convenient.
  • Marketing cookies: Used to deliver more relevant promotional content to you based on your activity and interests. This type of cookie is only activated with your consent.

You can manage or delete cookies through your web browser settings at any time. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality and your experience on the 18j platform. Cookie settings vary by browser — please refer to your browser's documentation for detailed guidance.

8Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as long as necessary to provide services to you. Once an account is closed, we will delete or anonymise your data according to our established retention schedule, unless a longer retention period is required by law.

  • KYC and financial data: Retained for a minimum of 5 years after account closure to comply with applicable anti-money laundering (AML) and financial reporting legal requirements.
  • Transaction records: Retained for 7 years for financial audit purposes and regulatory compliance.
  • Support communication logs: Retained for 2 years for service reference and improvement.
  • Analytics and usage data: Non-identifiable data may be retained longer for analytics and product improvement purposes.
  • Marketing data: Deleted when you withdraw consent or close your account, unless there is a legal requirement for retention.

Once the retention period expires, your data will be securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to your identity. We follow industry-standard data deletion procedures to ensure that deleted data cannot be recovered.

9Privacy Policy Changes

We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or service improvements. Any changes will be published on this page with a clear update date.

For significant and material changes — such as changes to how we use sensitive data or changes to user rights — we will notify you via your registered email and/or a prominent in-platform notification at least 14 days before the changes take effect.

  • Minor changes: Spelling corrections, language clarifications, or contact information updates take effect immediately without specific notice.
  • Moderate changes: The addition of new features or changes to third parties involved will be communicated via in-platform notifications.
  • Significant changes: Any changes that affect your rights or how we process sensitive data will be accompanied by an email notification and a 14-day notice period.
Continued use of the 18j platform after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the changes, please contact us to discuss your options.
