At abon Casino, protecting your personal information is not just a legal obligation — it is a core part of how we operate. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what data we collect from Filipino players, why we collect it, how we use and store it, who we share it with, and what rights you have under Philippine law. We believe transparency builds trust, and we want every abon player to feel confident that their data is handled responsibly.

This Privacy Policy is issued by abon Casino in compliance with Republic Act No. 10173 — the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (DPA) and its implementing rules and regulations, as enforced by the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines. By using any part of the abon Casino platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.
1 Introduction & Scope
This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data collected, processed, stored, or otherwise handled by abon Casino ("the Company," "we," "us," or "our") in connection with your access to and use of the abon Casino platform at abon.app, including all associated mobile-optimised pages, customer support channels, and promotional communications.
This policy applies to all individuals who interact with abon Casino, including:
- Registered Players with active abon Casino accounts;
- Individuals who have initiated but not completed the registration process;
- Visitors who browse the abon Casino website without registering;
- Individuals who contact abon Casino through live chat, email, or other support channels.
This Privacy Policy should be read alongside abon Casino's Terms & Conditions, which together form the complete legal framework governing your relationship with the platform. In the event of any conflict between the two documents on a privacy matter, this Privacy Policy shall prevail.
abon Casino operates exclusively within the Philippines and directs its services to Filipino players. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals located outside the Philippines in connection with gaming activities.
2 Legal Basis for Processing
abon Casino processes personal data only where a valid legal basis exists under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and its implementing rules. The primary legal bases we rely on are as follows:
- Contractual Necessity: Processing is necessary to fulfil our obligations under the Terms & Conditions you agreed to upon registration — including account creation, identity verification, payment processing, and the delivery of gaming services;
- Legal Obligation: Processing is required to comply with applicable Philippine laws, including the Anti-Money Laundering Act (RA 9160 as amended), PAGCOR licensing requirements, and the Data Privacy Act itself;
- Legitimate Interests: Processing is necessary for abon Casino's legitimate business interests, including fraud prevention, security monitoring, platform analytics, and responsible gaming enforcement, provided these interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms;
- Consent: Where we rely on your consent as a legal basis — particularly for direct marketing communications and non-essential cookies — you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

| Cookie Type | Purpose | Can Be Disabled? |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Session management, login authentication, security tokens, anti-CSRF protection. Essential for the platform to function. | No — required for core functionality |

Disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from accessing authenticated areas of the platform.
abon Casino does not use third-party advertising networks or cross-site tracking cookies that share your data with unrelated commercial entities.
8 Data Retention
abon Casino retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected or as required by applicable law. Our retention periods are as follows:
- Active Account Data: Retained for the full duration of your account relationship with abon Casino and for a period of five (5) years following account closure, in compliance with PAGCOR record-keeping requirements;
- KYC Documents: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of submission, as required under AMLA record-keeping obligations. In cases where an account was subject to an STR or regulatory investigation, documents may be retained for up to ten (10) years;
- Financial Transaction Records: Retained for five (5) years from the date of each transaction, consistent with AMLA and PAGCOR requirements;

- Marketing Consent Records: Retained for three (3) years from the date of consent, or until you withdraw consent, whichever is earlier;
- Website Analytics Data: Anonymised aggregated analytics data may be retained indefinitely, as it no longer constitutes personal data once fully anonymised.

9 Data Security
🔒 abon Casino employs industry-standard technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our security framework is aligned with the security requirements prescribed by the NPC under the Data Privacy Act.
Our security measures include, but are not limited to:
- Encryption in Transit: All data transmitted between your browser or device and abon Casino's servers is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher (HTTPS). Unencrypted HTTP connections are automatically redirected to HTTPS;
- Encryption at Rest: Sensitive personal data — particularly KYC documents, financial account details, and authentication credentials — is encrypted at rest using AES-256 or equivalent encryption standards;
- Access Controls: Personal data is accessible only to abon Casino personnel and authorised third-party processors who require it for their specific function. Role-based access controls and the principle of least privilege are enforced across all internal systems;
- Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Internal system access for abon Casino staff is protected by mandatory two-factor authentication. Players are encouraged (and may be required) to enable 2FA on their player accounts;
- Penetration Testing & Security Audits: abon Casino's platform undergoes regular third-party security audits and penetration testing to identify and remediate vulnerabilities before they can be exploited;
- Data Breach Response: In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, abon Casino will notify the NPC within seventy-two (72) hours of becoming aware of the breach, and will notify affected players without undue delay, as required under the Data Privacy Act.
While abon Casino implements robust security measures, no digital platform can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account password and for ensuring that your device is free from malware or unauthorised access.
10 Your Data Subject Rights
As a data subject under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights in respect of your personal data held by abon Casino. These rights are not absolute and may be subject to legal limitations where abon Casino has overriding legal obligations — particularly in relation to PAGCOR licensing, AML compliance, and active investigations.
Request a copy of all personal data abon Casino holds about you, including what it is, where it came from, and how it has been used. We will respond within fifteen (15) business days of a verified request.
Request correction of any inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated personal data in your abon Casino account. You can update basic contact details directly through your account settings.
Request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for its original purpose and no legal retention obligation applies. Note that AML and PAGCOR obligations may limit erasure of certain records.
Object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes at any time. You may also object to processing based on legitimate interests where your individual circumstances warrant it.
Request your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format (e.g., CSV or JSON) where technically feasible. This right applies to data you have directly provided to abon Casino.
Request that abon Casino restrict processing of your data in certain circumstances — for example, while a rectification request is being reviewed or where you have contested the legal basis for processing.
Be notified promptly if a personal data breach affects your data and poses a significant risk. abon Casino will communicate breach notifications clearly, including what happened and what steps we are taking.
If you believe abon Casino has mishandled your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint directly with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines at privacy.gov.ph.

11 Children's Privacy & Age Restriction
🔞 abon Casino is strictly for players aged 21 years and above. This is not merely a platform policy — it is a legal requirement under Philippine gambling law and PAGCOR's regulatory framework. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21.
If abon Casino becomes aware that personal data has been collected from an individual below the age of 21, whether through registration, a support interaction, or any other channel, we will:
- Immediately suspend the associated account pending review;
- Delete all personal data associated with the underage individual from our active systems as soon as reasonably practicable, subject to any legal hold obligations;
- Reverse any financial transactions associated with the account in accordance with our payment processing procedures;
- Report the incident to PAGCOR as required under our licensing obligations.
If you are a parent or guardian and you believe your child has registered on abon Casino, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected]. We will treat such reports as urgent and respond within twenty-four (24) hours.
12 International Data Transfers
abon Casino's primary data processing operations are conducted within the Philippines, consistent with our commitment to serving the Philippine market. However, certain third-party service providers — including game technology providers, KYC verification platforms, and cloud infrastructure partners — may be located outside the Philippines and may process your personal data in their respective jurisdictions.
Where personal data is transferred outside the Philippines, abon Casino ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data, including:
- Entering into data processing agreements with all international processors that incorporate the standard contractual clauses approved by the NPC;
- Conducting due diligence to confirm that recipient countries or entities provide an adequate level of data protection;
- Limiting the scope of data transferred to the minimum necessary for the specific processing purpose;
- Ensuring all international transfers are documented and disclosed in abon Casino's Data Processing Register as maintained for NPC compliance purposes.
Game providers based outside the Philippines (including Malta, Gibraltar, Isle of Man, and other regulated jurisdictions) are selected partly on the basis of their own robust data protection frameworks and certifications, which are reviewed during the provider onboarding process.

abon Casino's Privacy Commitments 🔒
Six promises abon Casino makes to every Filipino player — plain language, no legal jargon required.
Our privacy practices are designed specifically around the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and NPC regulations — not a generic international policy copy-pasted onto a local site. Every clause reflects Philippine law and the realities of GCash, Maya, and local bank transactions.
abon Casino does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third-party advertiser, data broker, or commercial entity. Your information is used solely to operate your account, process payments, and comply with PAGCOR and AMLA requirements — nothing more.
Every piece of data you transmit to abon Casino — from your GCash number to your KYC documents — is protected by TLS 1.2+ in transit and AES-256 encryption at rest. The same standards used by BPI and BDO online banking are applied here.
We collect only the personal data that is genuinely necessary to run your account and comply with Philippine law. We do not ask for information we do not need, and we do not retain data longer than legally required — every field on our registration form has a clear, documented purpose.
Access, correct, delete, port, or object to the processing of your data — all eight of your DPA rights are honoured at abon Casino. Submit a request to our Data Protection Officer and we will respond within fifteen business days, every time.
In the unlikely event of a data breach affecting your account, abon Casino will notify you promptly and clearly — explaining what happened, what data was involved, and exactly what we are doing to fix it. No vague statements, no delays beyond what the law allows.
