okoplay Privacy Policy
At okoplay, your privacy is taken seriously. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and how we keep it safe — in full compliance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012.
This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data collected and processed by okoplay through the okoplay.net platform, including our website, mobile web application, customer support channels, and all associated services. By registering an account with okoplay, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy in its entirety. If you do not agree with any part of this Policy, you should not use okoplay's services.
okoplay is the data controller responsible for the personal information you provide when using the okoplay platform at okoplay.net. As a PAGCOR-licensed online casino and sports betting operator serving Filipino players, okoplay is legally obligated to process certain categories of personal data to deliver its services, comply with regulatory requirements, and protect players from fraud and money laundering.
For all data protection enquiries, please contact our Data Protection Officer (DPO) via the support channel. okoplay is registered with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines in accordance with the requirements of Republic Act No. 10173, otherwise known as the Data Privacy Act of 2012, and its Implementing Rules and Regulations.
okoplay treats the protection of your personal data as a fundamental obligation — not just a legal checkbox. Every system and process on the okoplay platform has been designed with data minimisation, purpose limitation, and security in mind from the ground up.

This data is processed only to the extent required for regulatory compliance (KYC, AML) and is subject to heightened security controls and strict access restrictions within our organisation.

okoplay will never use your personal data for purposes that are incompatible with those listed above without first obtaining your explicit consent. We do not engage in profiling or automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects without human review.
okoplay does not sell your personal data to third parties for commercial purposes. We may share your personal data only in the following limited circumstances:
- Regulatory Authorities: okoplay is required by law to share certain player data with PAGCOR, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), and other Philippine government bodies upon lawful request or as required by our operating license conditions.
- Payment Service Providers: To process deposits and withdrawals, okoplay shares the minimum necessary financial data with licensed payment processors including GCash, Maya, BPI, BDO, and Metrobank. These providers are contractually bound to process data only for the purpose of fulfilling the transaction.
- KYC Verification Partners: okoplay uses accredited third-party identity verification services to assist with document authentication. These partners process only the data strictly required for verification and are bound by equivalent data protection obligations.
- Game Technology Providers: Licensed game studios and live dealer providers that supply games on the okoplay platform may receive anonymised usage data for the purpose of game performance analytics. No personally identifiable information is shared with game providers beyond what is required for dispute resolution.
- IT Infrastructure & Security Providers: Cloud hosting, cybersecurity, and fraud detection vendors that form part of okoplay's technical infrastructure may process certain technical and usage data as data processors acting under okoplay's instructions and under binding contractual data processing agreements.
- Law Enforcement: okoplay will disclose personal data to Philippine law enforcement agencies where required by a valid court order, subpoena, or other lawful legal process.
Any third-party service provider that processes personal data on okoplay's behalf does so as a data processor under a written data processing agreement that imposes privacy and security obligations equivalent to those required by the Philippine Data Privacy Act.
okoplay retains your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable Philippine law and PAGCOR regulatory requirements. The following retention periods apply:
- Account and Identity Data: Retained for the duration of your active account plus a minimum of 5 years following account closure, in accordance with PAGCOR and AMLC record-keeping requirements.
- Financial Transaction Records: Retained for a minimum of 5 years from the date of each transaction, as required under Philippine AML regulations (Republic Act No. 9160 as amended).
- KYC Documents: Retained for 5 years from the date of submission or account closure, whichever is later.
- Communications Data: Live chat and email support records are retained for 2 years from the date of the interaction.
- Technical and Usage Data: Retained for 13 months for security and analytics purposes, after which it is anonymised or deleted.
- Marketing Consent Records: Retained for the duration of your account or until you withdraw consent, plus 1 year for compliance documentation purposes.
When personal data is no longer required, okoplay will securely delete or anonymise it in a manner consistent with industry best practices and NPC guidelines.

okoplay implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or disclosure. Our security framework includes:
- TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and okoplay's servers;
- AES-256 encryption at rest for all sensitive personal and financial data stored in okoplay's systems;
- Multi-factor authentication (MFA) requirements for all internal okoplay staff accessing production systems;
- Role-based access controls (RBAC) limiting access to personal data to only those employees with a demonstrated need to access it;
- Regular penetration testing and vulnerability assessments conducted by independent cybersecurity firms;
- 24/7 security monitoring and automated intrusion detection systems;
- Annual data protection training for all okoplay staff who handle personal data.
While okoplay implements robust technical security measures, you also play an important role in keeping your data safe. Never share your okoplay password with anyone. Use a strong, unique password for your okoplay account. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) in your account security settings. If you suspect unauthorised access to your account, contact our 24/7 live chat support immediately.
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173), you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by okoplay:
To exercise any of these rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer via the live chat support channel or by emailing us at the address on file. okoplay will respond to all verified data subject requests within 15 business days of receipt. In complex cases, this period may be extended by a further 15 business days with prior notification.
If you believe okoplay has not handled your personal data in accordance with the Data Privacy Act, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) of the Philippines.
okoplay may send you promotional communications about bonuses, new games, tournaments, and special offers tailored to Filipino players — from Welcome Bonuses to reload promotions for PBA season specials. All marketing communications are sent only on the basis of your opt-in consent, provided during registration or subsequently through your account preferences.
You may opt out of marketing communications at any time by:
- Clicking the "unsubscribe" link in any marketing email from okoplay;
- Updating your communication preferences in the Notifications section of your okoplay account dashboard;
- Contacting the okoplay support team via live chat and requesting removal from all marketing lists.
Opting out of marketing communications does not affect the delivery of transactional messages essential to your account, such as deposit confirmations, withdrawal notifications, and security alerts. These communications are sent on the basis of contractual necessity and cannot be disabled while your account is active.
okoplay's services are strictly limited to individuals aged 21 years and above in accordance with PAGCOR regulations. okoplay does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. The okoplay registration process includes date-of-birth verification to prevent underage registration.
If okoplay discovers that personal data has been collected from a person under 21 years of age, that data will be immediately and securely deleted, the associated account will be permanently closed, and the matter will be reported to PAGCOR in accordance with our regulatory obligations. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use internet filtering and parental control software to prevent minors from accessing gambling websites.
okoplay reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable Philippine law, NPC guidelines, or PAGCOR regulatory requirements. Material changes to this Policy — those that significantly affect your rights or how your data is used — will be communicated to you via your registered email address or via a prominent notice on the okoplay platform at least 7 days before the changes take effect.
The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how okoplay protects your personal data. Your continued use of the okoplay platform following any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy.
