At bk55, we take the privacy of our Pakistani players seriously. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, who we share it with, and what rights you have over your own data. We believe in full transparency — no hidden clauses, no vague language.
Six core privacy principles that govern how bk55 handles every Pakistani player's personal data — every day, across every part of the platform.
All personal data stored by bk55 is protected using AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit. Your CNIC number, mobile number, and financial details are never stored in plain text on our systems.
bk55 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third-party marketing companies under any circumstances. Your information is used solely to operate your bk55 account and improve the platform experience.
bk55 collects only the personal data that is necessary for account operation, identity verification, payment processing, and regulatory compliance. We do not collect data beyond what serves a specific, disclosed purpose.
You have the right to access, correct, export, and request deletion of your personal data held by bk55 at any time, subject to regulatory retention obligations. Submit requests via live chat or our support email.
Where data is shared with third parties — such as payment processors, game providers, or KYC verification partners — we enforce strict data processing agreements to ensure your information is handled to our standards.
bk55 retains personal data only as long as necessary for the stated purpose or as required by applicable law. Account data is deleted or anonymised within 5 years of account closure where no legal hold applies.
1.1 For the purposes of applicable data protection legislation, bk55 is the data controller in respect of all personal data collected from players via the Platform. As data controller, bk55 determines the purposes and means by which your personal data is processed.
1.2 bk55 operates under an international gaming licence that imposes mandatory data protection, Know Your Customer (KYC), and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) obligations on the Company. Compliance with these obligations requires the collection and processing of certain categories of personal data, as detailed in this Policy.
1.3 Where bk55 engages third parties to process personal data on its behalf — for example, payment processors, KYC verification services, or cloud infrastructure providers — those third parties act as data processors under written data processing agreements that bind them to bk55's privacy standards.
2.1 bk55 collects the following categories of personal data from Pakistani players and other users of the Platform:
| Category | Examples | Required? |
|---|---|---|
| Identity Data | Full name, date of birth, CNIC number, passport number, gender | Mandatory |
| Contact Data | Pakistani mobile number (03XX), email address, city/province of residence | Mandatory |
| Financial Data | JazzCash / EasyPaisa account number, HBL / UBL / Meezan IBAN, transaction history, PKR deposit/withdrawal amounts | Mandatory |

| Technical Data | IP address, device type, browser, operating system, session timestamps, login history | Automatic |
| Gaming Data | Game history, bet amounts, win/loss records, bonus usage, responsible gaming settings | Automatic |
| Communications Data | Live chat transcripts, support emails, survey responses | Where provided |
Special Category Data: bk55 does not intentionally collect special category data (such as health information, political opinions, or religious beliefs) unless you voluntarily provide it in the context of a responsible gaming self-exclusion request or problem gambling disclosure, in which case it is processed solely to protect your interests and is not used for any other purpose.
3.1 bk55 collects personal data through the following channels:
4.1 bk55 processes your personal data for the following specific purposes:
5.1 bk55 processes personal data on the following legal bases:
Processing of identity, contact, financial, and gaming data is necessary to perform our contract with you — specifically, to operate your bk55 account, process your PKR transactions, and provide access to the Platform's games and sportsbook.
Processing of KYC/AML data, transaction records, and age verification data is required by our international gaming licence and applicable anti-money laundering regulations. We are not able to waive these obligations at player request.
Processing of technical data and gaming data for fraud prevention, platform security, and responsible gaming monitoring is carried out on the basis of bk55's legitimate interests in protecting the integrity of the Platform and the wellbeing of its players. We have assessed that these interests are not overridden by your fundamental privacy rights.
Marketing communications and optional personalisation features are processed on the basis of your explicit consent, provided at registration or via your account settings. Consent may be withdrawn at any time without affecting the legality of prior processing.
6.1 bk55 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for their own marketing or commercial purposes. Your data is shared only in the following limited and controlled circumstances:
Your protection: In all sharing arrangements, bk55 maintains data processing agreements or equivalent contractual protections with receiving parties. These agreements prohibit receiving parties from using your data for any purpose other than the specific one for which it was shared.
7.1 bk55 operates internationally and some of our service providers and game partners are located outside Pakistan. Your personal data may therefore be transferred to, processed in, or stored in countries that may have different data protection standards than those applicable in Pakistan.
7.2 Where data is transferred internationally, bk55 implements appropriate safeguards to ensure that your personal data receives a level of protection consistent with this Policy. These safeguards include contractual data processing agreements that bind recipients to data protection standards equivalent to those we apply internally.
7.3 By using the bk55 Platform, you acknowledge and consent to the transfer of your personal data to the countries and service providers described in this Policy, subject to the safeguards stated herein.
8.1 bk55 retains personal data for the following periods, after which data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised:
| Data Category | Retention Period | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Identity & KYC Documents | 5 years after account closure | AML/regulatory legal obligation |
| Financial Transaction Records | 5 years after each transaction | AML/tax regulatory obligation |
| Gaming History | 3 years after account closure | Dispute resolution & responsible gaming |
| Communications (Live Chat / Email) | 2 years after last interaction | Customer service quality & dispute records |
| Technical / Log Data | 12 months | Security monitoring & fraud detection |
| Marketing Preference Records | Until consent withdrawn + 3 years | Evidence of consent & opt-out |
8.2 Where bk55 is required to retain data beyond these periods by a specific legal obligation, court order, or active regulatory investigation, the data will be retained for the duration of that requirement. We will notify you where such extended retention applies, except where prohibited from doing so by law.
9.1 bk55 implements industry-standard technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, destruction, or alteration. These measures include, but are not limited to:
Data Breach Notification: In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights, bk55 will notify affected players without undue delay, in accordance with applicable data protection law. Notifications will be sent to the email address registered on your bk55 account.
10.1 The bk55 Platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience, maintain session state, and analyse platform usage. The categories of cookies deployed are as follows:
10.2 Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may impair your ability to use the bk55 Platform — for example, you may be unable to maintain a bk55 login session or complete payment transactions if session cookies are blocked.
11.1 Subject to applicable law and our regulatory obligations, you have the following rights in respect of your personal data held by bk55:
11.2 To exercise any of these rights, contact bk55 via live chat (24/7) or at the email address provided in Clause 14. We may require identity verification before processing your request, to protect against unauthorised access to another person's data.
Response Timeframes: bk55 aims to respond to all data rights requests within thirty (30) days. Where requests are complex or numerous, this period may be extended by a further thirty (30) days, with notice provided before the initial deadline expires.
12.1 The bk55 Platform is strictly restricted to individuals aged 21 years and above. bk55 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. If we become aware that personal data has been collected from a person under 21, we will immediately close the associated account, delete the personal data, and — where winnings have accrued — handle those amounts in accordance with our Terms & Conditions.
12.2 If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a person under 21 has registered a bk55 account or provided personal data to bk55, please contact our support team immediately via live chat or at the contact email in Clause 14. We will investigate and take appropriate action within 48 hours of being notified.
Parental Controls: bk55 recommends that parents and guardians in Pakistan use device-level parental control software to prevent minors from accessing online gaming platforms. This is a shared responsibility, and bk55 supports all reasonable measures to protect young people from age-restricted content.
13.1 bk55 reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, platform features, legal requirements, or the regulatory environment. All changes will be published on this page with an updated version number and effective date.
13.2 Where changes are material — meaning they significantly affect how your data is processed or your rights in relation to it — bk55 will provide advance notice via email to your registered address and/or via a prominent notification on the Platform, at least fourteen (14) days before the changes take effect.
13.3 Your continued use of the bk55 Platform following the effective date of any updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of that updated Policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how bk55 protects your personal data.
