mpgames Privacy Policy
At mpgames, your personal data is handled with the same care and security we bring to every aspect of our platform. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what information we collect, why we collect it, and how we protect it — so Filipino players can game with full confidence.
How mpgames Safeguards Your Privacy
Six core privacy commitments every mpgames player in the Philippines should know before reading the full policy below.
mpgames only collects the personal information strictly necessary for account registration, identity verification, and secure transaction processing. We do not harvest data for advertising profiling.
Your personal data is never sold, rented, or traded to third-party marketers. Information shared with partners is limited to what is required by law or essential for service delivery.
All data in transit between your browser and the mpgames platform is protected by 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption — the same standard used by BPI and BDO for Philippine online banking.
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act 10173), you have the right to access, correct, and request deletion of your personal data held by mpgames at any time.
mpgames uses only essential and analytics cookies. We clearly explain what each cookie does and give you control over non-essential cookies through your browser settings.
A dedicated privacy support channel is available at support@mpgames.bet. All data access requests, correction requests, and privacy complaints are acknowledged within 72 hours.

- Automatically — through cookies, session tokens, and server logs when you visit and use the mpgames platform. See Section 7 for full details on our cookie practices.
- From third-party verification partners — when we use licensed KYC and anti-money laundering (AML) service providers to verify your identity and screen your account against regulatory watchlists.
- From payment processors — transaction confirmation data received from GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, Visa, and Mastercard when you make deposits or withdrawals.
Purposes & Legal Basis for Processing
We process your personal data only where we have a valid legal basis to do so. The table below summarises the primary purposes for which mpgames processes personal data, the categories of data involved, and the applicable legal basis under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012.
| Purpose | Data Categories | Legal Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Account registration and management | Identity, contact | Contract performance |
| Age verification (21+ enforcement) | Identity, KYC documents | Legal obligation / contract |

Where we rely on consent as our legal basis (e.g., for sending promotional emails or SMS), you may withdraw your consent at any time by updating your communication preferences in your account settings or by contacting our support team. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to that withdrawal.
Data Sharing
mpgames does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for commercial or marketing purposes. We share personal data only in the following limited circumstances, and only to the extent necessary for the stated purpose:
We engage trusted third-party service providers who process personal data on our behalf under binding data processing agreements. These include:
- KYC and identity verification providers — to perform document authentication and biometric matching
- Payment processors — GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, Visa/Mastercard networks — to facilitate deposits and withdrawals
- Cloud infrastructure providers — for secure hosting of the mpgames platform and data storage
- Analytics providers — for aggregated, anonymised platform usage analytics
- Customer support software providers — for the live chat and ticketing systems used by our support team
mpgames is required by Philippine law to share certain data with regulatory authorities, including PAGCOR and the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC), in connection with licensing compliance and anti-money laundering obligations. We will also disclose personal data in response to lawful court orders, subpoenas, or other binding legal processes issued by competent Philippine authorities.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of mpgames's business assets, personal data held by mpgames may be transferred to the acquiring entity. Affected players will be notified via their registered email address prior to their data being transferred and will have the right to request account closure before the transfer takes effect.

Data Retention
mpgames retains personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations. The following general retention periods apply:
- Active account data — retained for the duration of the player's account plus five (5) years following account closure, in line with PAGCOR record-keeping and AMLC requirements.
- KYC and identity documents — retained for a minimum of five (5) years following account closure or the last transaction, whichever is later, as required by anti-money laundering regulations.
- Transaction records — retained for five (5) years following the transaction date.
- Customer support communications — retained for three (3) years from the date of the last communication.
- Technical and usage logs — retained for up to twelve (12) months for security and fraud detection purposes, after which they are anonymised or deleted.
- Marketing consent records — retained for three (3) years following withdrawal of consent.
After the applicable retention period has expired, personal data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised. Where data is anonymised, the resulting anonymised dataset is no longer considered personal data and is not subject to this Privacy Policy.
Data Security
mpgames implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:
- Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.2 / 1.3): All data transmitted between your device and the mpgames platform is encrypted using industry-standard TLS encryption.
- Password hashing: Account passwords are stored exclusively as salted cryptographic hashes (bcrypt). Plain-text passwords are never stored or accessible to any mpgames employee.
- Access controls: Personal data is accessible only to mpgames employees and processors with a legitimate need for access, governed by role-based access control (RBAC) policies.
- Infrastructure security: The mpgames platform is hosted in a secured cloud environment with firewall protection, intrusion detection systems (IDS), and regular security patching.
- Data breach response: mpgames maintains a documented incident response plan. In the event of a personal data breach that poses a real risk to players, affected individuals and the National Privacy Commission will be notified within 72 hours of discovery, as required by the Data Privacy Act.
- Staff training: All mpgames staff with access to personal data undergo regular data privacy and security training.
International Data Transfers
Where mpgames engages service providers — such as cloud infrastructure or KYC verification partners — whose servers are located outside the Philippines, your personal data may be transferred internationally. In such cases, mpgames ensures that adequate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data in compliance with the Data Privacy Act, including:
- Binding contractual clauses that require the receiving entity to protect personal data to a standard at least equivalent to the Data Privacy Act of 2012.
- Transfer only to countries or entities that have been assessed to provide an adequate level of data protection.
- Implementation of additional technical safeguards, including encryption of data at rest and in transit, when transferring sensitive personal information cross-border.
You may request information about the specific safeguards applicable to any international transfer of your personal data by contacting our Data Privacy Officer at the contact details in Section 15.
Your Rights
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by mpgames. These rights may be exercised at any time by contacting our Data Privacy Officer as described in Section 15.

- Right to Object: You may object to the processing of your personal data where we rely on legitimate interest as our legal basis, including profiling for responsible gaming purposes. We will cease processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
- Right to Data Portability: You may request that personal data you have provided to mpgames be delivered to you in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
- Right to File a Complaint: If you believe that mpgames has violated your data privacy rights, you have the right to file a complaint with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines at privacy.gov.ph.
Children & Minors
The mpgames platform is strictly intended for individuals who are 21 years of age or older, in accordance with Philippine gambling regulations. mpgames does not knowingly collect, process, or retain personal data from any person under the age of 21.
Age verification is performed as part of the mandatory Know Your Customer (KYC) process for all registered accounts. Any account found to belong to a person under 21 years of age will be immediately suspended, all balances will be held pending investigation, and the matter will be reported to the relevant regulatory authority where required by law.
Third-Party Links
The mpgames platform does not contain links to third-party websites, social media platforms, or external services as part of its standard navigation. In the event that any third-party content or reference is present, mpgames is not responsible for the privacy practices, data collection methods, or content of those third-party sites.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external platforms you visit independently, particularly in relation to payment service providers such as GCash and PayMaya, whose own privacy policies govern the data they collect during payment processing.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
mpgames reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable Philippine law, or regulatory guidance from the National Privacy Commission. When material changes are made, we will:

- Send a notification to your registered email address at least seven (7) days before the changes take effect.
- Display a prominent notice on the mpgames platform for a period of not less than seven (7) days prior to the effective date.
Your continued use of the mpgames platform after the effective date of any amendment constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the updated terms, you may request account closure by contacting our support team before the changes take effect.
