This information is required to open and maintain a player account and to verify that you meet the minimum age requirement of 18 years.

1.2 Identity Verification (KYC) Documents

To comply with our Know Your Customer (KYC) obligations and to process withdrawal requests, we may collect copies of government-issued identity documents such as your National Identity Card (NID), passport, or driving licence. We may also collect a recent utility bill or bank statement as proof of address. KYC documents are stored securely and accessed only by authorised compliance personnel.

When you make a deposit or withdrawal, we collect the details of the payment method used, including your bKash number, Nagad account number, Rocket number, Upay account, bank account name and number, or card details (card number is masked; we do not store full card numbers). We also maintain a complete record of all transactions on your account, including deposit amounts, withdrawal amounts, bet stakes, and winnings, all denominated in BDT.

1.4 Usage and Behavioural Data

We automatically collect information about how you use the 1971 bet platform, including: pages visited, games played, bet history, session duration, login timestamps, and in-platform navigation patterns. This data is used to improve platform performance, personalise your experience, and detect irregular or fraudulent activity.

1.5 Technical and Device Data

We collect technical information from your device when you access 1971 bet, including: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device model, screen resolution, and referring URL. This data helps us optimise the platform for the devices used by our players in Bangladesh and assists in fraud prevention and account security investigations.

1.6 Communications Data

If you contact our support team via live chat or email, we retain records of that correspondence. This includes chat transcripts, email threads, and any documents you submit to us as part of a support request or complaint. Communication records are retained to ensure consistency in handling follow-up queries and for quality assurance purposes.

2. How We Use Your Data

1971 bet uses the personal information we collect for the following specific and lawful purposes. We do not use your data for any purpose that is incompatible with the reasons for which it was originally collected.

2.1 Marketing Communications

If you have opted in to receive promotional communications from 1971 bet, we may send you emails or in-platform notifications about new games, deposit bonuses, seasonal promotions (such as BPL cricket specials, Eid offers, or Pohela Boishakh bonuses), and platform updates. You may withdraw your consent and unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by updating your account notification preferences or by contacting our support team.

2.2 Responsible Gaming Monitoring

We use your betting behaviour, session length, and deposit frequency data to monitor for signs of problem gambling. This is an important safeguard that helps us fulfil our responsible gaming obligations. Where our systems detect patterns that may indicate harmful gambling behaviour, a member of our responsible gaming team may contact you proactively to offer support tools such as deposit limits, cooling-off periods, or self-exclusion options.

3. Data Sharing and Disclosure

1971 bet does not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. We share data only in the limited circumstances described in this section, and only to the minimum extent necessary for each purpose.

3.1 Payment Processors

To process your deposits and withdrawals, we share relevant transaction details with our payment partners including bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Dutch-Bangla Bank (DBBL), and card processing networks. These partners receive only the transaction data required to execute your payment. They are bound by their own privacy and security obligations and are not authorised to use your data for any other purpose.

3.2 Identity Verification Providers

To complete KYC checks, we may share your submitted identity documents with third-party identity verification service providers. These providers operate under strict data processing agreements and are only permitted to use your data for the purpose of verifying your identity on behalf of 1971 bet.

3.3 Game Content Providers

Some games on the 1971 bet platform are provided by third-party studios including Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, and Ezugi. These providers may receive limited session data (such as a pseudonymous player token and bet value) to facilitate game play. They do not receive your full name, NID, or financial account details.

3.4 Legal and Regulatory Disclosure

We may disclose your personal information to law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, or other authorities if we are legally required to do so, or if we have a good-faith belief that such disclosure is necessary to prevent or investigate fraud, money laundering, or other criminal activity, or to protect the safety or rights of 1971 bet, our players, or the public.

3.5 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of 1971 bet's business, your personal data may be transferred to the successor entity as part of that transaction. We will notify registered players via email if such a transfer materially changes the way their data is handled, and you will retain the right to request deletion of your data at that time.

The 1971 bet website at 1971-bet.ws uses cookies and similar local storage technologies to operate correctly and to understand how players use the platform. This section explains what cookies we use and why.

4.1 What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website saves to your browser or device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide anonymised information to the site owner about how pages are used.

5. Data Security

1971 bet implements a range of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.

• Firewall and Intrusion Detection: Our infrastructure is protected by enterprise-grade firewalls and 24/7 intrusion detection monitoring systems.
• Access Controls: Access to personal data is restricted to authorised employees and contractors on a strict need-to-know basis. All staff with data access receive regular security training.
• OTP Authentication: Player logins and sensitive account actions (e.g., changing a withdrawal mobile number) require one-time password (OTP) verification via your registered mobile number.

5.2 Data Breach Response

In the unlikely event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to affected players, 1971 bet will notify impacted players via their registered email address as soon as practicable after the breach is identified and contained.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable legal and regulatory obligations. The table below sets out our standard retention periods by data category.

When data reaches the end of its applicable retention period, it is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised. Data subject to an ongoing legal dispute, regulatory investigation, or court order will be retained until that matter is fully resolved, regardless of the standard retention period.

You may request deletion of your personal data when: (a) the data is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected; (b) you withdraw consent and no other legal basis exists for continued processing; or (c) the data has been processed unlawfully.
