1. Information We Collect

When you register and use matbet, we collect several categories of personal information necessary to provide a safe, functional, and personalised gaming experience tailored to players in the Philippines. Account information includes your full name, date of birth, email address, username, and password — all required at the point of registration to verify your identity and ensure compliance with the minimum age requirement. We also collect device and browser data such as your IP address, device type, operating system, browser version, and screen resolution, which helps us optimise platform performance and detect potentially fraudulent access patterns. Payment-related information, including Philippine Peso (PHP) transaction records, preferred payment channels, and billing details, is collected whenever you make a deposit or request a withdrawal. Usage data covers your activity on the platform — including games played, session duration, betting history, and pages visited — which helps us improve platform features and personalise your experience. Finally, if you contact our support team, we retain records of that communication to help resolve issues efficiently and maintain service quality.

2. How We Use Your Information

matbet uses the personal information we collect strictly for purposes that are necessary to operate the platform and serve our players responsibly. The primary purpose is to verify your identity, set up and manage your account, and ensure that only eligible players aged 18 and above are permitted to participate in gaming activities available on the platform. Transaction data is used to process deposits and withdrawals accurately and in a timely manner, ensuring your PHP balances are always correctly reflected. We use device and usage data to monitor platform security, detect suspicious login attempts, prevent fraud, and protect the integrity of the gaming environment for all users. Your data also helps us personalise your experience — for example, surfacing game categories you interact with most and improving the overall interface based on aggregated behaviour patterns. Where required by applicable Philippine law or regulatory bodies, we may use your data to fulfil compliance and reporting obligations. We do not use your personal information to make fully automated decisions that would significantly affect you without any human review, and we never sell your data to third-party advertisers.

3. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

matbet uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to ensure the platform functions correctly and to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that allow the platform to remember your session, maintain your login state, and recall certain preferences between visits. Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the platform to operate — without them, features such as account login, session continuity, and security checks would not function. We also use analytical cookies to understand how players navigate the platform, which pages are most visited, and where technical issues may arise, helping us continuously improve the user experience. You have the ability to manage or disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings; however, please note that disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of your account and certain platform features. We do not use cookies to serve personalised advertising from external advertising networks, and no tracking data is shared with third-party ad platforms. By continuing to use the matbet platform after being informed of our cookie practices, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.

4. Data Storage & Security

All personal data collected by matbet is stored on secure servers with access restricted to authorised personnel only, and we apply industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect your information from unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure. Sensitive data such as passwords is stored using strong one-way hashing algorithms so that even internal systems cannot retrieve your plaintext credentials. PHP transaction records and payment details are handled in accordance with applicable financial data security standards, and communications between your device and our platform are protected using Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption. We retain your personal data for as long as your account remains active and for a reasonable period thereafter as required by applicable regulations or for legitimate operational purposes such as dispute resolution. If you request account closure and data deletion, we will process your request in accordance with the user rights described in Section 6 of this policy, subject to any retention obligations imposed by law. matbet conducts periodic internal reviews of its data security practices to ensure ongoing compliance and to address emerging security risks that may affect our Philippine player base.

5. Sharing Data with Third Parties

matbet does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for marketing or commercial purposes — your data belongs to you, and we treat it with respect. We may share limited data with trusted service providers who assist in operating the platform, such as payment processors who handle PHP deposits and withdrawals, identity verification partners, and technical infrastructure providers; all such partners are contractually obligated to handle your data securely and solely for the purposes we specify. In the event that matbet is required to comply with a lawful request from Philippine regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or a court order, we may disclose the minimum necessary information to satisfy that legal obligation. If matbet undergoes a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition, or transfer of assets, your personal data may be transferred to the succeeding entity, with appropriate safeguards in place and advance notice provided to affected players. We do not share your data with third-party advertising networks, data brokers, or social media platforms for profiling purposes. Any third-party service integrated into the platform — such as live game providers — operates under their own privacy policies in addition to the contractual obligations we impose, and we encourage you to review those policies if you have specific concerns.

6. Your Rights Over Your Data

As a player on matbet, you have clear rights regarding the personal data we hold about you, and we are committed to honouring those rights in a timely and transparent manner. You have the right to access a summary of the personal information matbet holds about your account at any time by submitting a request to our support team. If any of your personal details are inaccurate or outdated — such as a change of email address or contact number — you have the right to request a correction, and we will update our records promptly upon verification. You may also request the deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes it was collected, subject to any legal retention requirements that may apply. In certain circumstances, you have the right to object to or restrict specific types of processing, particularly where processing is based on our legitimate interests rather than legal obligation. If you wish to receive a copy of your data in a portable, machine-readable format, please contact the support team with your request. matbet will respond to all verified data rights requests within a reasonable timeframe consistent with applicable Philippine privacy regulations, and will notify you if any portion of your request cannot be fulfilled and explain the reason why.

7. Protection of Minors

matbet is strictly an adult platform and is not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect, store, or process personal information from minors, and registration on the platform requires all users to confirm that they meet the minimum age requirement at the time of sign-up. If we become aware that an account has been created by or on behalf of a person under 18, that account will be suspended immediately, any associated data will be reviewed, and the relevant records will be handled in accordance with applicable law. Parents and guardians who believe a minor may have accessed the platform using their credentials are encouraged to contact our support team immediately so that appropriate action can be taken without delay. We strongly recommend that households with minors make use of reputable parental control software to prevent underage access to online gaming platforms, including matbet. The protection of young people is a responsibility we take seriously, and it underpins our broader commitment to responsible gaming across our entire Philippine player base. For more information on our responsible gaming practices, please visit the Responsible Gaming page.

8. Policy Updates & How to Contact Us

matbet reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in platform operations, applicable Philippine regulations, or evolving industry best practices around data protection.
