You provide data to us directly when you complete the account registration form, submit KYC verification documents, make a deposit or withdrawal request, contact our support team, participate in a promotion or competition, or respond to a survey or feedback request.
3.2 Automated Collection
As you interact with the xk88 platform, we automatically collect Technical Data and Usage Data using server logs, cookies, pixel tags, and similar tracking technologies. This automated collection occurs from the moment you load any page on xk88.io and continues throughout your session. See Section 7 for full details of our cookie and tracking practices.
3.3 Third-Party Sources
In certain circumstances, xk88 may receive personal data about you from third-party sources, including:
- Payment service providers (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Dutch-Bangla Bank, City Bank) who confirm transaction status and payment method ownership details.
- Identity verification and KYC service providers who assist in validating the documents you submit during the verification process.
- Fraud prevention and anti-money-laundering (AML) screening services that cross-reference account details against known risk databases.
- Analytics and attribution partners who provide aggregated information about how players discover and access the xk88 platform.
How We Use Your Personal Data
xk88 uses the personal data it collects for the following specific purposes:
- Account Creation and Management: To register your xk88 account, verify your identity and age (21+), manage your account settings, and provide access to all platform features.
- Transaction Processing: To process deposits and withdrawals in Bangladeshi Taka (৳) via your chosen payment method (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, or bank transfer), and to maintain accurate financial records of all account transactions.
- Platform Delivery: To deliver sports betting markets, casino games, slot products and all other wagering services offered on the xk88 platform.
- Customer Support: To respond to your enquiries, resolve complaints, process account adjustments, and communicate important account information to you via email or in-platform notification.
- Legal and Compliance Obligations: To meet our obligations under applicable anti-money-laundering (AML) regulations, know-your-customer (KYC) requirements, and any other legal duties imposed on the platform.
- Fraud and Security: To detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent activity, unauthorised account access, multi-accounting, bonus abuse, and any other activity that threatens the integrity of the platform or the security of player accounts.
- Responsible Gaming: To monitor betting patterns that may indicate problem gambling behaviour, to action responsible gaming tool requests (deposit limits, cooling-off periods, self-exclusion), and to comply with our responsible gaming obligations.
- Marketing Communications: Where you have provided explicit consent, to send you promotional communications about bonuses, new games, and relevant offers. You may withdraw consent to marketing communications at any time by contacting [email protected].
- Platform Improvement: To analyse usage patterns, identify technical issues, improve the user interface, and develop new features that enhance the player experience.
Lawful Basis for Processing
xk88 processes your personal data only where it has a clear and documented lawful basis to do so. The lawful bases applicable to our main processing activities are as follows:
- Contractual Necessity: Processing required to deliver the services you have contracted for under the xk88 Terms & Conditions — including account management, transaction processing, and game delivery.
- Legal Obligation: Processing required to comply with applicable legal requirements — including KYC identity verification, AML transaction monitoring, and record-keeping obligations.
- Legitimate Interests: Processing undertaken for xk88's legitimate business interests where those interests are not overridden by your data protection rights — including fraud detection, security monitoring, and platform analytics. We conduct a balancing assessment before relying on this basis.
- Consent: Processing based on your freely given, specific and informed consent — primarily applicable to direct marketing communications. You have the right to withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
Data Sharing and Disclosure
xk88 does not sell, rent or trade your personal data. We share personal data only in the following limited circumstances:
6.1 Service Providers
xk88 works with a small number of carefully selected third-party service providers who process personal data on our behalf to enable platform operations. These include payment processors (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Dutch-Bangla Bank, City Bank), KYC and identity verification providers, IT infrastructure and hosting partners, and customer support tooling providers. All service providers are bound by data processing agreements that require them to process personal data only on xk88's documented instructions and to implement appropriate security measures.
6.2 Legal Requirements
xk88 may disclose personal data to law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, or courts where we are legally required to do so, or where such disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of xk88, its players, or the public.
6.3 Business Transfers
In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of xk88's assets, personal data held by xk88 may be transferred to the acquiring entity. In such circumstances, xk88 will notify affected players via email and will ensure that the acquiring entity is bound by data protection obligations at least as protective as those in this Policy.
6.4 Aggregated and Anonymised Data
xk88 may share aggregated, anonymised statistical data — from which no individual player can be identified — with analytics partners, industry research bodies, and for general platform reporting purposes. This data sharing does not constitute personal data disclosure and is not subject to the restrictions in this section.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies

| Security | Detect and prevent fraudulent activity, bot traffic, and unauthorised access attempts by fingerprinting device and session characteristics. | Session / up to 30 days |
You may manage or disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will impair your ability to log in and use the xk88 platform. xk88 does not use advertising or retargeting cookies that track your activity across third-party websites.

Data Retention
xk88 retains personal data for no longer than is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, subject to any longer retention periods required by applicable law. The following general retention periods apply:
- Account Data: Retained for the duration of your active account relationship with xk88, plus a minimum of 5 years following account closure, to meet our AML and legal record-keeping obligations.

- Transaction Records: All deposit and withdrawal records are retained for a minimum of 5 years from the date of the transaction.
- Support Communications: Email and chat correspondence with the xk88 support team is retained for 3 years from the date of the last message in each ticket.

- Marketing Consent Records: Records of your marketing consent status are retained for as long as you maintain an active account and for 3 years following account closure.
Upon the expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised so that it can no longer be attributed to any individual.
Your Data Protection Rights
As a player on the xk88 platform, you hold the following rights in relation to your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, contact our support team at [email protected] with the subject line "Data Rights Request" and your registered account username.
- Right of Access: You have the right to request a copy of all personal data xk88 holds about you, along with information about how it is being used. We will respond to access requests within 30 days.

- Right to Erasure: You may request the deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, where you withdraw consent (and no other lawful basis applies), or where processing is unlawful. This right is subject to exceptions — for example, we cannot delete data we are legally required to retain under AML regulations.
- Right to Restrict Processing: You may request that xk88 restrict the processing of your data in certain circumstances — for example, while a rectification request is being assessed, or where you have objected to processing.
- Right to Data Portability: Where processing is based on your consent or on a contract, you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and to request that it be transferred to another controller where technically feasible.
- Right to Object: You have the right to object to processing carried out on the basis of xk88's legitimate interests. xk88 will cease such processing unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights and freedoms.
- 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 any processing carried out prior to the withdrawal.
