sk77 Privacy Policy — How We Handle Your Personal Data
At sk77, the privacy of every Bangladesh player is a responsibility we take seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how it is stored and protected, and what rights you have over your own data. We are committed to transparency at every step.
Privacy at a Glance
Six Core Commitments We Make to You
sk77 is built on the principle that players should always know how their data is being used. Here are the six pillars of our privacy commitment.
Data Minimisation
sk77 collects only the personal data that is strictly necessary for account registration, identity verification, payment processing, and regulatory compliance. We do not collect data for data's sake.
256-Bit SSL Encryption
All data exchanged between your browser or device and the sk77 platform is protected using 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption — the same standard used by international banks. Your information is never transmitted in plain text.
No Unauthorised Third-Party Sharing
sk77 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third-party marketers. Data is shared with third parties only where strictly necessary for service delivery or legal compliance, as detailed in Section 5 of this policy.
Password Security
Account passwords are never stored in plain text. sk77 uses industry-standard cryptographic hashing algorithms to store credentials. No sk77 staff member can retrieve or view your password — not even our own support team.
Your Right to Access and Erasure
Registered players can request a full copy of the personal data sk77 holds on them, or request that their data be deleted, subject to our legal data retention obligations. Requests are processed within 30 days of receipt.
Transparent Cookie Use
sk77 uses only functional and analytics cookies necessary to deliver a smooth platform experience. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or behavioural tracking cookies. Cookie preferences can be managed via your browser settings at any time.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place prior to withdrawal.
sk77 does not use automated decision-making or profiling in a manner that produces legal or similarly significant effects on Players, except in limited fraud-detection contexts where automated risk scoring may trigger a manual review by our compliance team.
Sharing Your Personal Data
sk77 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for their own marketing or commercial purposes. Personal data may be shared with third parties only in the following strictly defined circumstances:
- Payment Processors: Transaction data is shared with bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Visa, and Mastercard processing networks to the minimum extent necessary to complete your deposit or withdrawal. Each payment partner operates under its own data protection obligations.
- Identity Verification Providers: Identity documents submitted for KYC may be shared with third-party verification service providers who assist sk77 in confirming the authenticity of documents and the identity of applicants. These providers are bound by strict confidentiality and data processing agreements.
- Game Studio Providers: Pseudonymised player session identifiers may be shared with licensed game providers (e.g., Evolution Gaming, Pragmatic Play, Microgaming, Spribe, Ezugi) to facilitate gameplay and resolve in-game disputes. Full personal data is not shared with game studios.
- Fraud and Security Services: Technical and usage data may be shared with fraud detection and cybersecurity service providers to protect the Platform and its players from malicious activity.
- Legal and Regulatory Authorities: sk77 will disclose personal data to law enforcement agencies, financial intelligence units, or regulatory bodies when required to do so by applicable law or a valid legal order. sk77 will notify affected Players of such disclosures where legally permitted to do so.
- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of the sk77 business, Player data may be transferred to the acquiring entity. Affected Players will be notified in advance of such a transfer via email.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
sk77 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate and improve the Platform. The following categories of cookies may be set when you visit https://sk77.io:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are essential for the Platform to function correctly. They include session authentication tokens, CSRF protection tokens, and load-balancing cookies. These cannot be disabled without breaking core Platform functionality.
- Functional Cookies: These remember your preferences such as language settings, display options, and previously visited sections of the Platform, allowing us to provide a more personalised and consistent experience across sessions.
- Analytics Cookies: sk77 uses privacy-respecting analytics tools to understand how players navigate the Platform — which pages are most visited, where sessions begin and end, and how features are used. This data is aggregated and anonymised before analysis.
sk77 does not use third-party advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, social media tracking scripts, or behavioural profiling technologies. You will not see sk77 advertisements follow you across the internet based on your Platform activity.
You can manage or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent some or all Platform features from working correctly. For detailed browser-level cookie management instructions, refer to the help documentation for your specific browser.
Data Retention
sk77 retains personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy and to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, and financial record-keeping obligations. The general retention schedule is as follows:
| Data Category | Retention Period | Basis for Retention |
|---|---|---|
| Account and Identity Data | Duration of Account plus 5 years after closure | Legal and regulatory obligation; dispute resolution |
| Financial Transaction Records | 7 years from the date of each transaction | Financial record-keeping obligations |
| KYC Verification Documents | 5 years after Account closure or last transaction | Anti-money laundering compliance |
| Gameplay and Betting Records | 3 years from the date of each session | Dispute resolution; responsible gaming monitoring |

| Server and Access Logs | 90 days on live systems; 1 year in archived form | Security monitoring; fraud prevention |
| Marketing Consent Records | Duration of consent plus 2 years after withdrawal | Consent management compliance |
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised in a manner that makes re-identification impossible. Anonymised, aggregated data that cannot be attributed to any individual may be retained indefinitely for statistical and business analysis purposes.
Data Security
sk77 implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:
- Encryption in Transit: All data transmitted between your device and the sk77 Platform is encrypted using 256-bit SSL/TLS protocols. Connections that do not meet minimum security standards are rejected.
- Encryption at Rest: Sensitive personal data stored on sk77 servers — including identity documents and financial data — is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption.
- Password Hashing: Account passwords are hashed using a strong, salted cryptographic hashing algorithm. sk77 staff cannot retrieve plain-text passwords under any circumstances.
- Access Controls: Access to personal data within sk77's internal systems is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. All internal access is logged and subject to periodic access reviews.
- Penetration Testing: sk77 conducts regular vulnerability assessments and penetration tests of its Platform infrastructure to identify and remediate security weaknesses before they can be exploited.
- Incident Response: In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to Player rights, sk77 will notify affected Players within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, providing details of the nature of the breach, the data involved, and the steps taken to contain it.
Your Rights as a Data Subject
As a registered Player on the sk77 Platform, you hold the following rights with respect to your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, submit a written request to [email protected] with the subject line "Data Rights Request" and include your registered username and a description of the right you wish to exercise.
- Right of Access: You may request a copy of all personal data that sk77 holds about you. sk77 will provide this in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format within 30 calendar days of receiving your verified request.
- Right to Rectification: If any personal data held by sk77 is inaccurate or incomplete, you may request that it be corrected or updated. You may also update certain Account details directly within your Account dashboard.
- Right to Erasure: You may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and where no overriding legal obligation requires its retention. Note that financial records, KYC documents, and game history records are subject to mandatory retention periods as described in Section 7.
- Right to Restriction of Processing: You may request that sk77 suspend the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances — for example, while a dispute regarding its accuracy is being resolved.
- Right to Data Portability: You may request that sk77 provide your personal data in a portable format suitable for transfer to another service provider, where technically feasible.
- Right to Object: You may object to processing of your personal data where sk77 relies on legitimate interest as its legal basis, including profiling for fraud prevention. sk77 will cease such processing unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
- Right to Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of prior processing.
sk77 will respond to all verified data rights requests within 30 calendar days. Where a request is particularly complex or involves a large volume of data, this period may be extended by a further 30 days, with notification provided to the requesting Player.
Children's Privacy and Age Verification
The sk77 Platform is strictly intended for use by adults aged 21 years and above. sk77 does not knowingly collect personal data from any person under the age of 21. Age verification is a mandatory component of the account registration and KYC process.
Where sk77 discovers or has reasonable cause to believe that a registered Player is under the age of 21, the following actions will be taken immediately:
- The Account will be suspended and access to all Platform features will be disabled.
- Any deposits made to the Account will be returned to the payment method from which they originated.
- Any winnings generated through gameplay while underage will be voided and will not be paid out.
- All personal data associated with the underage Account will be securely deleted, subject only to any mandatory retention obligations required by applicable law.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has registered on the sk77 Platform without your knowledge, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so we can take prompt action to close the Account and protect the minor's data.
Payment Data and Financial Information
sk77 takes particular care with financial and payment data, given its sensitivity. The following specific protections apply to the financial information you share with the Platform:
- Full payment method credentials (e.g., your complete bKash PIN, your full Visa card number) are never stored on sk77 servers. Only masked or tokenised references are retained after a transaction is processed.
- Payment transactions are processed via the secure APIs of licensed payment providers. sk77 acts as a merchant facilitating the transaction and does not hold or process raw card data in its own infrastructure.
- All withdrawal requests are processed exclusively to the verified payment method associated with your Account and registered in your name. sk77 will not redirect withdrawal funds to an unverified or third-party payment account.
- Transaction records are retained for the mandatory period specified in Section 7 to satisfy financial record-keeping and anti-money laundering compliance requirements.
Responsible Gaming and Data Use
sk77 uses certain categories of Player data to support its responsible gaming obligations. Specifically, gameplay patterns, session durations, deposit frequency, and betting behaviour data may be analysed to identify Players who may be exhibiting signs of problematic gambling. This analysis is conducted for Player protection purposes and is not used for commercial targeting.
Where the responsible gaming monitoring system flags an account for review, a member of the sk77 player protection team may review the flagged data and, where appropriate, reach out to the Player with information about responsible gaming tools and support resources available through the Account settings dashboard.
Responsible gaming data — including self-exclusion requests, deposit limits, and cooling-off periods — is treated with the highest level of confidentiality and is accessible only to staff with a direct player protection function. This data is never used for marketing purposes and is never shared with third parties except where required by law.

The notification will summarise the key changes and provide a link to the full updated document.
Your continued use of the sk77 Platform after a revised Privacy Policy has taken effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not agree to the changes, you may request Account closure at any time by contacting [email protected].
