a8jl is committed to protecting the personal data of every Filipino player who uses our platform. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, how we protect it, and your rights under Philippine law.
These cards summarise a8jl's core data protection principles. They are informational only — the full binding policy is in the legal sections below.
All personal data transmitted between your device and a8jl's servers is encrypted using industry-standard 256-bit SSL/TLS technology — the same level of encryption used by Philippine banks including BPI, BDO, and Metrobank. Your credentials, payment details, and personal information are never transmitted in plain text over any channel.
a8jl collects only the personal data that is necessary to operate the platform, comply with PAGCOR and AML obligations, and provide you with the services you requested. We do not collect data "just in case." Every data point collected has a defined purpose and a defined retention period, after which it is securely deleted or anonymised.
a8jl does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for their own marketing purposes. Data is shared with third parties only where strictly necessary — for example, with payment processors to complete your GCash withdrawal, with KYC verification providers, or with PAGCOR and AMLC as required by Philippine law.
a8jl operates in full compliance with Republic Act No. 10173 (Data Privacy Act of 2012) and is registered with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) as required for personal information controllers handling sensitive data. Our Data Protection Officer (DPO) oversees all data processing activities and is the point of contact for all privacy-related requests.
Under the Philippine DPA, you have the right to access, correct, delete, and object to the processing of your personal data held by a8jl. These rights are exercisable at any time by contacting our DPO. We are required by law to respond to data subject requests within 15 business days and to action valid requests without unnecessary delay.
In the unlikely event of a personal data breach that poses a real risk of serious harm to affected players, a8jl will notify the NPC within 72 hours of discovery and notify affected data subjects without undue delay, as required under the DPA's Implementing Rules. We maintain an incident response plan and conduct regular security audits to minimise breach risk.
The personal information controller responsible for your data is a8jl Casino ("a8jl," "the Platform," "we," "us," "our"), a PAGCOR-licensed online gambling operator operating at the domain a8jl.asia. a8jl determines the purposes for which and the means by which your personal data is processed.
a8jl is registered with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines as a personal information controller in accordance with the requirements of Republic Act No. 10173, also known as the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (DPA), and its Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR).
For all privacy-related matters, you may contact a8jl's designated Data Protection Officer (DPO) at the contact details provided in Section 14 of this Policy.
This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data collected, processed, stored, and disclosed by a8jl in connection with the a8jl platform and all related services, including:
This Policy applies to all natural persons who interact with a8jl, including registered players, applicants for registration, and visitors to the a8jl website who have not yet registered. It does not apply to third-party websites or services that may be linked from a8jl's platform — those entities operate their own privacy policies.
This Policy should be read together with a8jl's Terms & Conditions and Responsible Gaming Policy, all of which form part of your agreement with a8jl.
a8jl collects personal data that falls into the following categories. We have indicated alongside each category whether its provision is mandatory (required to use the service) or optional (enhances your experience but is not required).
| Category | Examples | Mandatory? |
|---|---|---|
| Identity Data | Full legal name, date of birth, nationality, government ID number, ID document images | Yes — for KYC |
| Contact Data | Mobile number (Philippine format), email address | Yes — for registration |
| Financial Data | GCash account number, PayMaya account number, bank account details, deposit/withdrawal history, transaction records | Yes — for payments |
| Gaming Activity Data | Game session logs, bet amounts, win/loss records, sports betting selections, session duration, game preferences | Yes — generated automatically |
| Technical Data | IP address, device type and OS, browser type, session tokens, geolocation data (region-level only) | Yes — collected automatically |
| Communications Data | Live chat transcripts, email correspondence, complaint records, support ticket history | Generated when you contact support |
| Responsible Gaming Data | Deposit limit settings, self-exclusion status, session alert preferences, reality check records | Stored if you set these tools |
| Marketing Preferences | Opted-in or opted-out status for promotional communications, preferred contact channel | Optional |
a8jl does not intentionally collect sensitive personal information beyond what is necessary for KYC compliance, unless you voluntarily provide it. "Sensitive personal information" as defined under the DPA includes information about health, religious affiliation, government-issued ID numbers, and biometric data where applicable.
a8jl collects personal data through the following means:
Where a8jl receives your data from third-party sources, we will inform you of the source and the data received at the time your account is created or, if the data is received after registration, within a reasonable time thereafter, unless disclosure is legally restricted.
a8jl processes your personal data only for specific, legitimate purposes. The following table sets out the primary processing activities, the purpose of each, and the legal basis relied upon under the DPA:
| Processing Activity | Purpose | Legal Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Account registration | Creating and managing your a8jl player account | Performance of contract |
| KYC / Age verification | Verifying your identity and age as required by PAGCOR and Philippine law | Legal obligation |
| Payment processing | Processing deposits and withdrawals via your chosen payment method | Performance of contract |
| AML / Fraud screening | Detecting, preventing, and reporting money laundering and fraudulent activity | Legal obligation (RA 9160) |
| Game operation | Running games, maintaining bet/win records, ensuring game integrity | Performance of contract |
| Customer support | Responding to queries, resolving complaints, maintaining support records | Performance of contract / Legitimate interests |
| Responsible gaming | Enforcing deposit limits, self-exclusion, and session time controls | Legal obligation (PAGCOR) / Consent |
| Marketing communications | Sending promotional offers and platform updates to opted-in players | Consent (opt-in only) |
| Platform security | Monitoring for unauthorised access, fraud, and account compromise | Legitimate interests |
| Regulatory reporting | Submitting required reports to PAGCOR, AMLC, and NPC | Legal obligation |
a8jl will not use your personal data for any purpose that is incompatible with the purposes listed above without first obtaining your explicit consent or identifying a new legal basis for the processing.
a8jl does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We share your personal data with third parties only in the following limited circumstances:
All third-party processors engaged by a8jl are bound by written data processing agreements that require them to process personal data only on a8jl's documented instructions, implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures, and not transfer or disclose personal data beyond the scope of their engagement.
Some of a8jl's third-party service providers, including certain game developers and technology infrastructure providers, operate servers or processing facilities outside the Philippines. Where personal data is transferred outside the Philippines, a8jl ensures that such transfers are subject to appropriate safeguards in accordance with the DPA's provisions on cross-border data flows.
Safeguards applied to international data transfers may include: binding contractual clauses that impose DPA-equivalent data protection obligations on the receiving party; transfers to countries that the NPC has recognised as providing adequate levels of data protection; or, where other safeguards are unavailable, explicit consent from the data subject for the specific transfer.
Players may request details of specific international transfers involving their personal data by contacting a8jl's DPO using the contact details in Section 14.
a8jl retains your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with legal and regulatory retention obligations, and to defend against potential legal claims. The following indicative retention periods apply:
At the end of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised. Data that is subject to an ongoing legal dispute, regulatory investigation, or PAGCOR audit may be retained beyond the standard period until the matter is fully resolved.
a8jl uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on its platform. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us provide a functional, personalised, and secure experience.
The categories of cookies used by a8jl are as follows:
a8jl does not use third-party advertising cookies or behavioural tracking cookies that build profiles for the purpose of cross-site advertising. You may control non-essential cookies through your browser settings, though disabling cookies may affect the functionality of certain platform features.

a8jl's services are strictly available to persons who are at least 21 years of age, as required under PAGCOR licensing conditions and applicable Philippine gambling legislation. a8jl does not knowingly collect or process personal data belonging to individuals under 21 years of age.

If you are a parent or guardian and have reason to believe that your child has accessed a8jl and provided personal data, please contact a8jl's DPO immediately using the details in Section 14.
a8jl reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time in response to changes in applicable law, PAGCOR regulatory requirements, NPC guidance, or our data processing practices. All amendments will take effect upon publication of the revised Policy on the a8jl website.
Where amendments are material — meaning they significantly affect how we process your personal data or reduce your privacy protections — a8jl will provide advance notice via email to your registered address and/or via a prominent notice on the platform, at least 14 days before the amended Policy takes effect.
The "Last Updated" date at the top of this Policy will always reflect when the most recent changes were made. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically. Continued use of a8jl following publication of an amended Policy constitutes your acceptance of the amended terms.
Previous versions of this Privacy Policy are available to registered players upon written request to the DPO.
For any questions, concerns, or requests relating to this Privacy Policy or your personal data held by a8jl, please contact our designated Data Protection Officer (DPO):
If you are not satisfied with a8jl's response to your privacy concern, you have the right to escalate your complaint to the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines. The NPC accepts complaints from data subjects whose rights under the DPA have been violated. Contact information for the NPC is available through official Philippine government channels.
a8jl takes all privacy concerns seriously and is committed to resolving them fairly, transparently, and within the timeframes required by Philippine law. The DPO operates independently of a8jl's commercial teams to ensure impartial handling of all privacy matters.
Now that you've read our Privacy Policy, you know exactly how a8jl protects your data. 500+ certified games, instant GCash payouts, and full regulatory protection under Philippine law — for players aged 21 and above.
