Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what personal data y998 collects from Pakistani players, how it is used, who it may be shared with, and the rights you hold over your own information. We believe in transparency — no hidden data practices, no surprises.
Six core commitments y998 makes to every Pakistani player regarding their personal data
y998 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party marketers under any circumstances. Your data is used solely to operate, secure, and improve the y998 platform for your benefit.
All data transmitted between your device and y998 is protected by 256-bit SSL encryption — the same standard used by HBL, UBL, and Meezan Bank. Stored data is encrypted at rest and access-controlled at every layer.
This Privacy Policy discloses every category of data y998 collects, every purpose for which it is processed, and every type of third party with whom it may be shared. There are no hidden data practices on y998.
You have the right to access, correct, export, or request deletion of any personal data y998 holds about you. Submit a written request to our support team and we will respond within the timeframes set out in Section 9 of this Policy.
y998 adheres to the principle of data minimisation. We collect only the personal information that is strictly necessary to operate your account, verify your identity, process your PKR transactions, and comply with our regulatory obligations.
Identity documents submitted for KYC verification — including CNIC copies and passport scans — are stored in an encrypted, access-restricted environment. They are used exclusively for compliance purposes and are never shared with advertisers.
This Privacy Policy is issued by y998 ("the Platform", "we", "us", "our"), the operator of the online gaming platform accessible at y998.pro and its associated subdomains and mobile interfaces. y998 is the data controller responsible for the personal data collected through this Platform.
y998 operates an online gaming and sports betting service targeting adult players in Pakistan. All services are provided in English and all financial transactions are conducted in Pakistani Rupees (PKR). y998 is committed to handling your personal data with the highest standards of care, security, and transparency.
This Privacy Policy applies to all users of y998, including registered account holders, visitors who browse the Platform without registering, and individuals who contact y998's customer support team. By accessing or using y998 in any capacity, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy and understand how your personal data will be processed.
This Privacy Policy was last reviewed and updated in January 2026. y998 will notify registered users of any material changes via the email address associated with their account.
y998 collects personal data in several ways: directly from you when you register or interact with the Platform, automatically as you use the Platform, and from trusted third-party sources as part of our compliance and fraud prevention processes. The categories of data we collect are set out in the table below.
| Category | Examples | How Collected |
|---|---|---|
| Identity Data | Full name, date of birth, CNIC number, passport number | Registration form, KYC submission |
| Contact Data | Email address, city of residence (e.g., Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad) | Registration form, support interactions |
| Financial Data | JazzCash / EasyPaisa account reference, bank account details for withdrawals, transaction history | Cashier / payment processing |
| Account Data | Username, encrypted password, account balance, bonus history, gameplay history | Platform activity |
| Technical Data | IP address, device type, browser type, operating system, session timestamps | Automatically via server logs and cookies |
| KYC Documents | Scanned CNIC, passport, proof of address documents | KYC verification upload |
| Communications Data | Live chat transcripts, support emails, feedback submissions | Customer support interactions |
y998 does not intentionally collect sensitive personal data such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, or biometric data beyond what is contained in standard identity documents submitted for KYC verification.
y998 uses personal data only for specific, clearly defined purposes. We do not process your data in ways that are incompatible with the purposes for which it was originally collected. The primary purposes for which y998 processes personal data are:
To create, administer, and maintain your y998 account, verify your identity and age (21+ requirement), process your deposits and withdrawals in PKR via JazzCash, EasyPaisa, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, and 1LINK, and provide you with access to all gaming and betting services on the Platform.
To fulfil y998's obligations under applicable anti-money laundering (AML), Know Your Customer (KYC), and responsible gaming regulations. This includes verifying your identity, monitoring transactions for suspicious activity, and maintaining records as required by our licensing and regulatory framework.
To detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent activity, bonus abuse, money laundering, collusion, and any other conduct that violates y998's Terms and Conditions or applicable law. Technical data such as IP addresses and device fingerprints are used to identify duplicate accounts and protect the integrity of the Platform.
To respond to your queries, resolve disputes, process complaints, and deliver support in both English and Urdu. Communications data including support transcripts is retained to maintain service quality and for training purposes.
To monitor gameplay patterns and intervene where signs of problem gambling are identified, to enforce deposit limits, loss limits, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion requests, and to comply with responsible gaming obligations. This use of your data is in your direct interest and is a core part of y998's commitment to player welfare.
Where you have explicitly opted in to receive promotional communications, y998 may use your contact data to send you information about bonuses, promotions, new game launches, and PSL or cricket betting offers. You may withdraw your consent to marketing communications at any time by updating your account preferences or contacting our support team.
To analyse aggregated, anonymised usage data for the purpose of improving the Platform's performance, user experience, game selection, and payment processing. No individually identifiable data is used for this purpose beyond what is necessary.
y998 processes your personal data on the following legal bases, in accordance with internationally recognised data protection principles:
Where y998 relies on consent as its legal basis for processing, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
y998 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We share data with third parties only to the limited extent necessary to operate the Platform, fulfil our legal obligations, and protect the security of our players and systems. Third parties with whom y998 may share data include:
To process deposits and withdrawals, y998 shares necessary financial data with payment processors including JazzCash, EasyPaisa, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, and 1LINK. These providers process data under their own privacy policies and applicable Pakistani financial regulations.
y998 works with third-party identity verification services to automate and secure the KYC process. These providers receive identity document data solely for the purpose of verifying your identity and age and are contractually prohibited from using that data for any other purpose.
Live dealer games, slots, and other content on y998 are supplied by licensed third-party game providers. These providers may receive limited technical data (such as session tokens) to facilitate gameplay. They do not receive your full identity or financial data.
y998 will disclose personal data to regulatory bodies, law enforcement agencies, or courts where required to do so by applicable law, regulatory order, or legal process. y998 will, where legally permissible, notify affected players of such disclosures.
y998 uses specialist third-party services to screen transactions and player behaviour for signs of money laundering, fraud, or sanctions exposure. Data shared with these services is used exclusively for compliance and security purposes.
y998 does not share your data with advertising networks, data brokers, or social media platforms for marketing profiling purposes. Any third party receiving your data is bound by contractual obligations that restrict its use to the specific purpose for which it was shared.
y998 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate and improve the Platform. Cookies are small text files placed on your device that help y998 remember your preferences, maintain your session, and understand how players interact with the Platform.
You can manage non-essential cookie preferences through your browser settings. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will affect your ability to log in to and use y998. For full details of cookies in use, refer to the cookie settings panel within the Platform.
y998 retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law and regulatory obligations. The general retention periods applied by y998 are as follows:
| Data Category | Retention Period | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Account & Identity Data | Duration of account + 5 years post-closure | AML / KYC regulatory requirement |
| Financial Transaction Records | 7 years from transaction date | Financial record-keeping obligations |
| KYC Documents | Duration of account + 5 years post-closure | Regulatory compliance |
| Customer Support Records | 3 years from last interaction | Dispute resolution, quality assurance |
| Technical / Log Data | Up to 12 months | Security monitoring, fraud investigation |
| Marketing Consent Records | Until consent is withdrawn + 3 years | Proof of lawful basis for marketing |
At the end of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised. Where anonymisation is used, the resulting data no longer constitutes personal data and may be retained indefinitely for analytical purposes.
y998 implements a multi-layered technical and organisational security framework designed to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our security measures include:
While y998 takes all reasonable precautions to protect your data, no internet transmission is completely secure. You are responsible for keeping your y998 account credentials confidential and for notifying us immediately if you suspect unauthorised access to your account.
y998 respects your rights in relation to your personal data. Subject to applicable law and regulatory obligations, you have the following rights:
To exercise any of the above rights, please submit a written request to our support team. y998 will respond within 30 days of receiving a valid request. In some cases — for example, where a request is complex or where y998 receives a high volume of requests — this period may be extended by a further 60 days, in which case you will be notified.
Email for data rights requests: [email protected]
y998 operates a strict 21+ age policy. The Platform is not directed at, and does not knowingly collect personal data from, any individual under the age of 21. Registration is prohibited for minors, and age verification is a mandatory component of the KYC process applied to all new accounts.
If y998 becomes aware that personal data has been collected from an individual who is under 21 years of age, that data will be deleted immediately, the associated account will be closed, and any net winnings will be forfeited in line with y998's Terms and Conditions. Original deposits will be returned in accordance with applicable regulations.
Underage gambling is strictly prohibited. If you believe a minor is using the y998 platform, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected]. We treat every such report with the highest urgency.
y998 reviews this Privacy Policy on a regular basis and may update it from time to time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable law, or regulatory requirements. The date of the most recent revision is indicated at the top of this Policy.
Where changes to this Policy are material — meaning they significantly affect your rights or the way in which y998 processes your personal data — registered players will be notified via the email address associated with their y998 account at least 14 days before the changes take effect. Non-material updates (such as corrections of typographical errors or minor clarifications) will be published without individual notice.
Your continued use of y998 following the publication of an updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acknowledgement of, and where applicable your consent to, the revised terms. If you do not agree with any update to this Policy, you should cease using the Platform and may request closure of your account.
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests relating to this Privacy Policy or the way y998 handles your personal data, please contact our dedicated support team. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in both English and Urdu.
