Your privacy matters to us. This page explains exactly what personal information 5bwm collects from Filipino players, how it is used, and what rights you have over your own data. Please read through it before you register or place any bets.
This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data collected by 5bwm when you visit our website, create an account, place bets, make deposits or withdrawals, or contact our support team. It covers how we collect, store, use, share, and protect your information as a player based in the Philippines. By using the 5bwm platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy. If you do not agree with any part of it, you should stop using the platform and contact support to close your account. We may update this policy from time to time, and the latest version will always be available on this page with a revised effective date.
When you register for a 5bwm account, we collect personal information including your full name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, and residential address in the Philippines. During the identity verification process, we may also request a government-issued ID such as a Philippine passport, driver's licence, or SSS/UMID card, along with a selfie or proof of address document. When you make deposits or withdrawals, we collect payment-related information such as your GCash number, bank account details, or other local payment method identifiers — though we do not store full card numbers on our servers. We also automatically collect technical data when you use the platform, including your IP address, device type, browser version, operating system, and session activity logs. This technical data helps us detect fraud, maintain platform security, and improve the overall experience for Filipino players. We may also collect information you voluntarily provide when you contact our support team, such as the content of your messages and any attachments you send.
The personal data we collect is used primarily to operate and maintain your 5bwm account, process your bets and financial transactions, and verify your identity in compliance with applicable Philippine regulations. We use your contact details to send you important account notifications, security alerts, and updates about changes to our terms or policies — these communications are not optional as they are necessary for the safe operation of your account. Your payment information is used solely to process deposits and withdrawals through your chosen local payment channel, and is never shared with third parties for marketing purposes. Technical and behavioural data is used to detect suspicious activity, prevent fraud, and ensure the integrity of our platform for all players. We may also use aggregated, anonymised data for internal analytics and platform improvement, but this data cannot be used to identify you personally. Where required by Philippine law or a valid legal order, we may use your data to comply with regulatory obligations or respond to lawful requests from government authorities.
5bwm does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for commercial or marketing purposes — this is a firm commitment we make to every Filipino player on our platform. We may share your data with trusted service providers who assist us in operating the platform, such as payment processors, identity verification services, and IT infrastructure providers, but only to the extent necessary for them to perform their specific function. All third-party service providers we work with are contractually required to handle your data securely and in accordance with applicable data protection standards. In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your personal data may be transferred to the new entity, and you will be notified of any such change. We may also disclose your information to regulatory bodies, law enforcement agencies, or courts in the Philippines if we are legally required to do so, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, safety, or property of 5bwm or other users. We will never share your data with any entity outside of these defined circumstances without your explicit consent.
We take the security of your personal data seriously and implement a range of technical and organisational measures to protect it from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. All data transmitted between your device and the 5bwm platform is encrypted using industry-standard TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocols, ensuring that your information cannot be intercepted in transit. Sensitive data such as identity documents and payment details are stored in encrypted form on secure servers with restricted access controls, and only authorised personnel with a legitimate need can access them. We conduct regular security reviews and vulnerability assessments to identify and address potential risks before they can affect our players. In the unlikely event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights or freedoms, we will notify affected users and the relevant Philippine authorities as required by law. While we take every reasonable precaution, no online platform can guarantee absolute security, and we encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your 5bwm account and to enable any available two-factor authentication.
We retain your personal data for as long as your 5bwm account remains active and for a reasonable period thereafter to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations under Philippine law. Account records, transaction histories, and identity verification documents are typically retained for a minimum of five years following account closure, in line with anti-money laundering and gaming regulatory requirements. Technical logs and session data are retained for shorter periods, generally between 90 days and 12 months, depending on the type of data and its purpose. Once the applicable retention period has expired and there is no longer a legal basis for keeping your data, we will securely delete or anonymise it so that it can no longer be linked to you. If you request the deletion of your account and personal data, we will process your request in accordance with our legal obligations and inform you of any data that must be retained for regulatory reasons. You can submit a data deletion request by contacting our support team through the details provided on the platform.
As a player based in the Philippines, you have a number of rights regarding the personal data that 5bwm holds about you, and we are committed to honouring those rights in a timely and transparent manner. You have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you, and we will provide a copy of that data within a reasonable timeframe upon verification of your identity. You also have the right to request the correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data, and we encourage you to keep your account details up to date through your profile settings. Where there is no longer a legal basis for processing your data, you may request its deletion, subject to any regulatory retention requirements that apply. You have the right to object to certain types of data processing, including any direct marketing communications, and to withdraw your consent where processing is based on consent. If you believe that your data rights have been violated, you may lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our support team using the contact details available on the platform.
5bwm uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to ensure the platform functions correctly, to remember your preferences, and to analyse how players interact with our website. Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the platform to operate — for example, they keep you logged in during your session and remember your language and display preferences. We also use analytical cookies to understand how players navigate the site, which pages are most visited, and where technical issues may be occurring, so that we can continuously improve the experience. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings, and most modern browsers allow you to block or delete cookies at any time. Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of the platform and prevent you from accessing certain features. We do not use cookies to serve third-party advertising or to track your activity across other websites outside of the 5bwm platform.
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests relating to this Privacy Policy or the way 5bwm handles your personal data, please reach out to our support team using the contact details available within your account dashboard. We aim to respond to all privacy-related enquiries within a reasonable timeframe and will always treat your concerns with the seriousness they deserve. This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in our practices, applicable Philippine law, or regulatory requirements, and the revised version will be published on this page with an updated effective date. We recommend checking this page occasionally to stay informed of any changes that may affect you. Continued use of the 5bwm platform after an updated policy has been published constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. For concerns that cannot be resolved directly with us, you retain the right to escalate your complaint to the National Privacy Commission of the Philippines.
