A plain-English summary of the six most important privacy commitments abc58 makes to every Filipino player. This summary does not replace the full legal text — please read the complete policy carefully.
abc58 collects only the personal data necessary to operate your account, process payments, verify your identity as required by PAGCOR, and provide customer support. We do not collect data for collection's sake, and we do not sell your personal information to any third party under any circumstances.
All data transmitted between your device and abc58 is encrypted using TLS 1.3. Sensitive data at rest — including KYC documents and financial records — is stored using AES-256 encryption. Access to personal data is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis within the abc58 team, with full audit logging of all data access events.
As a data subject under the Philippine Data Privacy Act, you have the right to access, correct, delete, and object to the processing of your personal data. abc58 makes it straightforward to exercise these rights — just contact our Data Protection Officer and we will respond within the timeframes required by Philippine law.
abc58 shares your data with third parties only where strictly necessary — such as payment processors like GCash and Maya, game providers, KYC verification partners, and regulatory bodies including PAGCOR and the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC). All third-party partners are contractually bound to handle your data in accordance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act.
abc58 may send you promotional emails and SMS messages about new games, bonuses, and platform updates — but only if you have given your consent at registration or subsequently opted in. You can withdraw your marketing consent at any time through your account settings or by contacting our support team, with no effect on your ability to use the Platform.
abc58 retains your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by PAGCOR regulations and Philippine law. KYC and transaction records are retained for a minimum of five years following account closure to meet AMLC reporting obligations. After applicable retention periods expire, your data is securely deleted or anonymized.
abc58 (referred to as "abc58", "we", "us", or "our") operates the online gaming platform accessible at https://abc58.net (the "Platform"). abc58 is a PAGCOR-regulated online gaming operator serving Filipino players across the Philippines, from Manila and Makati to Cebu, Davao, and Quezon City.
For the purposes of the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, abc58 is the Personal Information Controller in respect of the personal data it collects and processes in connection with the Platform.
This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data collected by abc58 through the Platform, including via the website, mobile browser, any abc58 application, and through interactions with our customer support team.
Scope Notice
This Privacy Policy governs data processed by abc58 directly. It does not cover the privacy practices of third-party game providers, payment processors, or any external websites that may be linked from the Platform. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of those third parties separately.
abc58 collects the following categories of personal data, depending on how you interact with the Platform:
| Category | Examples | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Identity Data | Full name, date of birth, nationality, government ID number | Account registration, KYC verification, age verification (21+) |
| Contact Data | Email address, mobile number, residential address | Account management, support communications, regulatory correspondence |
| Financial Data | GCash number, bank account details, transaction history, deposit and withdrawal amounts | Payment processing, AML compliance, fraud prevention |
| KYC Documents | Scanned government ID, proof of address, source of funds documents | PAGCOR-mandated identity verification, AML compliance |

You are not required to provide all categories of data to access the Platform. However, failure to provide data that is mandatory for KYC verification or payment processing may prevent you from completing certain transactions or accessing certain features of the Platform.
abc58 collects personal data through the following means:
- Directly from you — when you register an account, complete KYC verification, make a deposit or withdrawal, contact customer support, or participate in a promotion;
- Automatically — when you use the Platform, we collect technical data such as IP address, device identifiers, browser information, and session logs through cookies and similar tracking technologies (see Section 7);
- From third parties — including KYC verification service providers, payment processors (such as GCash, Maya, BPI, BDO, and Metrobank), and fraud prevention services, to verify your identity and protect the integrity of the Platform;
- From regulatory bodies — in limited circumstances, abc58 may receive information from PAGCOR or law enforcement agencies as part of its regulatory compliance obligations.

- Service providers: IT infrastructure providers, cloud hosting services, cybersecurity firms, and customer support platform providers that assist abc58 in operating the Platform, under data processing agreements that require them to handle your data in accordance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act;
- Corporate transactions: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets involving abc58, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity, subject to equivalent privacy protections.

abc58 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21 years. The abc58 Platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 and above, as required by PAGCOR regulations governing casino-style online gaming in the Philippines.
Age verification is conducted during the KYC process for all players. If abc58 discovers or reasonably suspects that personal data has been collected from a person under the age of 21, it will:
- Immediately suspend the account pending investigation;
- Notify the relevant parent or guardian where the minor's contact information is available;
- Delete all personal data associated with the underage account as soon as practicable, subject to any legal obligations requiring retention;

Parents and guardians are strongly encouraged to use parental control software to prevent minors from accessing the abc58 Platform. If you suspect a minor has registered or accessed abc58, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected].
abc58 primarily processes personal data within the Philippines. In limited circumstances, personal data may be transferred to, and processed in, countries outside the Philippines — for example, where abc58 uses cloud infrastructure or game provider systems hosted in other jurisdictions.
Where personal data is transferred outside the Philippines, abc58 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with the requirements of the Philippine Data Privacy Act and NPC regulations. These safeguards may include:
- Data processing agreements incorporating standard contractual clauses approved by the National Privacy Commission;
- Transfers to countries that the NPC has determined provide an adequate level of data protection;
- Other legally recognized transfer mechanisms as permitted by the Philippine Data Privacy Act and its Implementing Rules.
You may request information about the specific safeguards applicable to any cross-border transfer of your personal data by contacting abc58's Data Protection Officer.
