bdka1 Privacy
Policy
At bdka1, the privacy of every player registered in Bangladesh is a foundational commitment, not an afterthought. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what personal data we collect when you use our platform, why we collect it, how it is stored and protected, and what rights you hold over your own information. We encourage every player to read this document in full before registering an account.
Our Commitment
How bdka1 Protects Your Privacy
bdka1 applies industry-standard data protection practices across every layer of our platform. From the moment you register to your last transaction, your personal information is handled with strict controls, limited access, and full transparency.
SSL Encryption
All data transmitted between your device and bdka1 servers is protected by 256-bit SSL encryption. Your login credentials, payment details, and personal information are never sent in plain text across any network connection.
Minimal Data Principle
bdka1 collects only the personal data strictly necessary to operate your account, process transactions, comply with KYC regulations, and provide customer support. We do not collect data beyond what is required for these defined purposes.
Secure Data Storage
Player records are stored in encrypted, access-controlled databases hosted on secure servers. Access to raw player data is restricted to authorised compliance and support personnel only, and all access events are logged and audited.
No Data Selling
bdka1 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third-party advertiser, data broker, or marketing network. Your data is used solely within the bdka1 platform ecosystem and with service providers directly supporting our operations.
Your Consent Matters
Where bdka1 relies on your consent as the legal basis for processing personal data — such as for marketing communications — you may withdraw that consent at any time by contacting our support team. Withdrawal of consent does not affect data already lawfully processed.
Fair Play Certified
bdka1 partners exclusively with certified third-party game providers whose data handling practices meet our own standards for player privacy. No game studio partner receives personally identifiable player information beyond what is needed for technical session management.
Section 1
Data Collection
bdka1 collects personal data from you through several channels: directly from you during account registration and KYC verification, automatically through your use of the platform, and in limited circumstances from third-party sources such as payment processors. The categories of data we collect are described below.
1.1 Registration Data
When you create a bdka1 account, we collect the following information that you provide voluntarily:
- Full legal name (as it appears on your government-issued identity document)
- Date of birth (to verify that you meet the 18+ age requirement)
- Residential address in Bangladesh (division, district, city or town)
- Mobile phone number registered in your name
- Email address
- Chosen username and encrypted account password
1.2 Identity Verification (KYC) Data
As part of our mandatory Know Your Customer (KYC) process, we collect copies of identity documents you submit, which may include:
- National Identity Card (NID) or Smart NID
- Valid Bangladeshi passport (biographical data page)
- Birth certificate (where submitted alongside a supporting address document)
- Utility bill or bank statement as proof of current residential address
- Selfie photograph or video verification (where required for enhanced due diligence)
KYC documents are retained in encrypted storage and are accessible only to our compliance team for the purpose of regulatory verification. They are not shared with game providers or marketing partners.
1.3 Financial Transaction Data
When you make deposits or request withdrawals, bdka1 collects transactional data including the payment method used (e.g., bKash account number, Nagad wallet reference, bank account details), transaction amounts in BDT, timestamps, and transaction reference numbers. We do not store full card numbers — card transactions are tokenised through our payment processing partners.
1.4 Technical and Usage Data
When you access the bdka1 platform, our servers automatically log certain technical information including your IP address, device type and operating system, browser type and version, pages visited and session duration, game play history (game titles, bet amounts, outcomes), and time-zone information. This data is used for platform security, fraud prevention, and improving the user experience.
Bangladesh Players: bdka1 recognises that mobile access is the primary means by which players in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, and other cities access our platform. Mobile device identifiers and carrier data may be collected as part of our technical logging where you access bdka1 via a mobile browser or application.
1.5 Communications Data
If you contact our customer support team — whether via live chat, email to [email protected], or any other channel — we retain records of that correspondence, including the content of messages, the date and time of contact, and the resolution applied. These records help us maintain service quality and resolve disputes accurately.
| Data Category | Examples | Collection Method |
|---|---|---|
| Registration Data | Name, date of birth, email, phone number | Provided directly by you at sign-up |
| KYC / Identity Data | NID scan, passport copy, proof of address | Uploaded by you during verification |
| Financial Data | bKash number, transaction amounts, bank references | Provided during deposit / withdrawal |
| Technical Data | IP address, device type, browser, session logs | Collected automatically on platform access |
| Communications Data | Live chat transcripts, support email history | Collected when you contact support |
Section 2
How We Use Your Data
bdka1 processes your personal data only for defined, legitimate purposes. We do not use your data for any purpose incompatible with the reasons for which it was originally collected. The following sets out the primary purposes for which bdka1 uses personal data and the legal basis for each.
2.1 Account Management
We use your registration data to create and maintain your bdka1 account, authenticate your identity at login, manage your account preferences and communication settings, and deliver platform notifications relevant to your account activity. The legal basis for this processing is the performance of the contract between you and bdka1.
2.2 Identity Verification and Regulatory Compliance
bdka1 processes KYC documentation to verify that you meet the 18+ age requirement, confirm that your identity matches your registered account details, and comply with our anti-money-laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism-financing (CTF) obligations. The legal basis is legal obligation and legitimate interest in operating a safe, compliant platform.
2.3 Payment Processing
Financial transaction data is used to process your deposits from bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and bank partners, to execute withdrawal requests to your registered payment method, and to maintain accurate financial records in connection with your account. The legal basis is performance of contract.
2.4 Platform Security and Fraud Prevention
Technical and usage data is analysed to detect and prevent fraudulent activity, identify bot or automated-system access, investigate suspected bonus abuse or multi-accounting, and protect the integrity of sports betting markets and casino games. The legal basis is legitimate interest in protecting our platform and player community.
2.5 Customer Support
Communications data and account information are used to respond to your support enquiries, investigate account disputes, process responsible gaming requests such as self-exclusion, and improve the quality of our support service. The legal basis is performance of contract and legitimate interest.
2.6 Marketing Communications
Where you have given explicit consent, bdka1 may use your contact details to send you information about promotions, bonuses, BPL season offers, Eid specials, and other marketing communications. You may opt out of marketing communications at any time by contacting [email protected] or by following the unsubscribe instruction in any marketing email. Opting out of marketing will not affect your access to the bdka1 platform.
No Automated Decision-Making: bdka1 does not make solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects for you as an individual player, except where required for real-time fraud scoring. In cases where automated fraud scoring results in account restrictions, you may request a manual review by contacting our compliance team.
Section 3
Data Sharing
bdka1 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We share data only with a limited set of third parties where necessary to operate the platform, comply with legal requirements, or protect the safety of our player community. All third-party service providers engaged by bdka1 are contractually bound to handle your data in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy.
3.1 Payment Processing Partners
To process deposits and withdrawals, bdka1 shares the minimum necessary financial data with our payment partners, including bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Dutch-Bangla Bank, City Bank, BRAC Bank, and Visa/Mastercard processing networks. These partners receive only the transactional data required to execute the specific payment instruction and are prohibited from using that data for any other purpose.
3.2 Game Studio Providers
When you launch a game by Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, Ezugi, or another partner studio, a technical session token is passed to the studio's game server to authenticate your session. This token does not contain your name, NID number, or payment details — it is an anonymised session reference. Game studios do not have access to your bdka1 registration profile.
3.3 KYC and Identity Verification Services
bdka1 may engage specialist third-party KYC verification platforms to assist in validating the authenticity of identity documents submitted by players. These providers operate under strict data processing agreements and handle document data solely for the purpose of identity verification on behalf of bdka1.
3.4 Legal and Regulatory Disclosure
bdka1 may disclose personal data to law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, courts, or other government authorities where we are legally required to do so, where disclosure is necessary to prevent or investigate fraud or financial crime, or where we are ordered to do so by a court of competent jurisdiction. We will notify you of such disclosure where we are legally permitted to do so.
3.5 Business Transfers
In the event that bdka1 undergoes a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of its assets, player data may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction. We will notify players of any such change in data controller via a prominent notice on the bdka1 platform prior to the transfer taking effect, and we will ensure that the acquiring entity is bound by terms consistent with this Privacy Policy.
We Do Not Share With: Advertising networks, social media platforms, data brokers, third-party analytics companies beyond our own internal analytics infrastructure, or any entity whose purpose is to market non-bdka1 products to you.
Section 4

4.1 What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They allow the website to remember information about your visit — such as your preferred language, login status, and session data — so that your next visit is smoother and the site can provide you with a more personalised experience. Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot access other files on your device.

| Responsible Gaming | Storing session time tracking data to support player-set session duration limits and self-exclusion status checks | Up to 1 year |
4.3 Managing Cookies
You can control cookie behaviour through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies on a per-site or global basis. Please be aware that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging into your bdka1 account and using core platform features. Disabling functional cookies may result in loss of your saved preferences between sessions.

Common browsers used by players in Bangladesh include Chrome for Android, Samsung Internet, and Firefox for Android — all of which provide granular cookie management settings under their respective privacy/settings menus.
Section 5
Data Security
The security of your personal data is a priority for bdka1. We implement a combination of technical, organisational, and procedural controls to protect your information against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or disclosure.
5.1 Technical Security Measures
- 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption on all data in transit between your browser and our servers.
- AES-256 encryption at rest for all personally identifiable data and KYC documents stored in our databases.
- Multi-factor authentication (MFA) required for all internal staff accounts with access to production player data.
- Firewalls and intrusion detection systems monitoring our network perimeter around the clock.
- Regular penetration testing by independent third-party security specialists to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
5.2 Organisational Security Measures
Access to personal data within bdka1 is governed by a strict principle of least privilege — staff are granted access only to the data categories and tools required to perform their specific job function. All staff with data access undergo mandatory data protection training at onboarding and annually thereafter. Access logs are reviewed regularly by our security and compliance team.
5.3 Data Breach Response
In the event of a confirmed personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights or freedoms, bdka1 will notify affected players without undue delay — and in any event within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach — via the registered email address on your account. The notification will describe the nature of the breach, the categories of data affected, the likely consequences, and the measures bdka1 has taken or proposes to take to address the breach.
Your Role in Account Security: While bdka1 takes extensive measures to protect the platform, you also play a critical role. Use a strong, unique password for your bdka1 account. Never share your login credentials. Be cautious of phishing attempts — bdka1 will never ask for your password via email, SMS, or chat. If you suspect your account has been compromised, contact [email protected] immediately.
Section 6

There is no charge for making a rights request unless requests are manifestly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive.
Section 7
Data Retention
bdka1 retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable legal and regulatory obligations. The following sets out our standard retention periods by data category.
| Data Category | Retention Period | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Account Registration Data | Duration of account + 5 years post-closure | Regulatory compliance, dispute resolution |

7.1 Deletion After Retention Period
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with our data disposal procedures. Anonymised data — from which you cannot be identified — may be retained indefinitely for aggregated statistical analysis. Deletion is irreversible; once your data has been deleted following the expiry of the retention period, it cannot be recovered.
7.2 Inactive Accounts
Accounts that have been inactive for 12 consecutive months (no login, no transaction) are flagged as dormant. bdka1 will notify you by email before initiating any data deletion process on a dormant account. You may reactivate your account at any time by logging in and completing a re-verification step. Dormant accounts with a positive BDT balance will not have their funds deleted — funds remain available for withdrawal for the full retention period applicable to financial transaction records.
Section 8
