1 Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how 18ji ("we", "our", or "the platform") collects, stores, uses, and protects the personal information of players who register and use the 18ji platform at 18ji.net.

We take privacy seriously. Every Filipino player who creates an account on 18ji entrusts us with personal information, and it's our responsibility to handle that information with care, transparency, and security. This policy tells you exactly what we do — and what we don't do — with your data.

By registering an account or using any part of the 18ji platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. It should be read alongside our Terms and Conditions.

2 Information We Collect

We only collect information that is necessary for running a secure and functional online gaming platform. The categories of personal data we collect include:

  • Registration data: Full legal name, date of birth, email address, and mobile number provided when you create an account.
  • Identity verification documents: Government-issued IDs, selfies, and proof of address submitted during KYC verification.
  • Transaction data: Records of deposits, withdrawals, and payment methods used — all in Philippine Peso.
  • Gaming activity: Game sessions, bet history, wagering patterns, and bonus usage within the platform.
  • Device and access data: IP address, browser type, device model, operating system, and login timestamps collected automatically when you access the platform.
  • Communications: Any messages you send to our support team or feedback you submit through the platform.

We collect only what we genuinely need. If a piece of information isn't necessary for operating your account or meeting a legal obligation, we don't ask for it.

3 How We Use Your Information

The information we collect is used for the following purposes:

  • Creating and managing your player account
  • Verifying your identity and age to comply with our platform rules (21+ only)
  • Processing deposits and withdrawals through local Philippine payment channels
  • Delivering the games, promotions, and features you access on the platform
  • Sending account-related notifications — such as transaction confirmations, OTP codes, and security alerts
  • Detecting and preventing fraud, cheating, bonus abuse, and other prohibited activity
  • Improving platform performance based on aggregated usage patterns
  • Meeting our legal and compliance obligations

We do not use your personal data for unsolicited third-party marketing. If we send you any promotional communications from 18ji, you can opt out at any time through your account settings or by contacting our support team.

4 KYC and Identity Verification

Before processing your first withdrawal, 18ji requires players to complete a Know Your Customer (KYC) verification. This is a standard requirement across online gaming platforms and exists to protect you as much as it protects the platform.

KYC verification typically requires:

  • A valid, unexpired Philippine government-issued ID (PhilSys ID, driver's licence, or passport)
  • A recent selfie with your ID visible
  • Proof of current address — such as a utility bill or bank statement issued within the past three months

Documents submitted for KYC are stored securely and accessed only by authorised personnel handling verification. They are not shared with marketing partners or used for any purpose outside of compliance.

In some cases, we may request additional documentation if your account shows unusual transaction patterns or if we need to confirm details that cannot be verified from the initial submission. If this happens, our support team will reach out via your registered email address.

5 Payment Data and Financial Security

All financial transactions on 18ji are processed in Philippine Peso (PHP). We support local payment methods including GCash, Maya, and Philippine bank transfers. Credit cards and cryptocurrency are not accepted on this platform.

We store records of your transaction history — including deposit amounts, withdrawal requests, and the payment channels used — for the purposes of account management, dispute resolution, and legal compliance. Full payment credentials (such as bank account numbers or e-wallet PINs) are never stored on our servers.

Transaction data is retained for a period required by applicable Philippine financial and gaming regulations, after which it is securely deleted or anonymised.

6 Cookies and Tracking Technologies

18ji uses cookies and similar technologies to keep the platform running smoothly and to understand how players use the site. These help us maintain your login session, remember your preferences, and analyse overall usage patterns.

The types of cookies we use include:

  • Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function. These cannot be disabled without breaking core features like login and account access.
  • Session cookies: Temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They keep you logged in during a single gaming session.
  • Analytics cookies: Help us understand which pages and features players use most. This data is aggregated and not linked to individual accounts.

You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect how some parts of the platform work, but your account and gaming access will not be permanently impacted.

7 Data Sharing and Third Parties

18ji does not sell or rent your personal data to any third party. We may share limited information with trusted service providers who support the operation of the platform, but only under strict conditions:

  • Payment processors: To facilitate deposits and withdrawals through Philippine payment channels. These providers receive only the transaction data required to complete the transfer.
  • Identity verification services: To support our KYC process. These providers are bound by strict data processing agreements.
  • Game providers: Game software suppliers may receive session and betting data as part of the game delivery infrastructure. Personal account details are not shared.
  • Legal and regulatory authorities: We will disclose personal data to government or law enforcement bodies when legally required to do so under Philippine law.

All third-party service providers we work with are required to handle personal data securely and in line with applicable data protection standards. They are not permitted to use your data for their own purposes beyond the service they provide to us.

8 How Long We Keep Your Data

We keep your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a period thereafter as required by applicable regulations. The specific retention periods vary by data type:

  • Account registration data is retained for the lifetime of your account plus up to five years after account closure
  • KYC and identity documents are retained in line with applicable Philippine financial regulations
  • Transaction records are retained for audit and compliance purposes for a minimum of five years
  • Gaming history and session logs may be retained for a shorter operational period unless required for an active dispute

Once data is no longer needed and the required retention period has passed, it is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised.

9 Your Rights

As a player on 18ji, you have rights regarding the personal data we hold about you. Here's a summary:

Right What It Means
Access Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Correction Ask us to correct any inaccurate or outdated information in your account.
Deletion Request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal retention obligations.
Restriction Ask us to limit how we use your data in certain circumstances.
Objection Object to specific uses of your data, such as promotional communications.
Portability Request your data in a commonly used, machine-readable format.

To exercise any of these rights, contact our support team at [email protected]. We aim to respond to all valid data requests within 30 days.

10 Security Measures

18ji uses industry-standard security practices to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. These include:

  • SSL/TLS encryption on all data transmitted between your device and our servers
  • OTP (one-time password) verification for logins and sensitive account actions
  • Access controls that limit which internal staff can view player data, based on their role
  • Regular security assessments and monitoring for unusual account activity
  • Secure storage practices for KYC documents and financial records

No system is perfectly impenetrable, but we take every practical step to minimise risk. Using a strong, unique password and enabling OTP on your account significantly reduces the chance of unauthorised access.

If you suspect that your account has been compromised, change your password immediately and contact our support team. 18ji will never ask you for your password via email, SMS, or any messaging platform.

11 Minors and Age Restriction

18ji is strictly an adult platform. You must be at least 21 years old to register and use the platform. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 21.

If we become aware that a minor has created an account or submitted personal information, we will close the account immediately and delete all associated data. Age verification is part of our KYC process precisely to prevent this from happening.

If you believe a minor has registered on 18ji using false information, please contact us at [email protected] so we can investigate and act accordingly.

12 Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in platform features, legal requirements, or how we operate. When significant changes are made, registered players will be notified via an on-platform message or by email, with the effective date clearly stated at the top of this page.

We recommend reviewing this page periodically to stay informed. Continued use of the platform after any update takes effect will be treated as acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.

13 Contact and Data Requests

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, want to exercise a data right, or have a concern about how your information is being handled, you can reach our team at:
