01 Who We Are
ya999 is an online gaming and sports betting platform operating at ya999.fun, designed specifically for adult players in Pakistan. When this Privacy Policy refers to "ya999", "we", "us" or "our", it means the operator responsible for the ya999 platform and the data collected through it.
This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data collected through the ya999 website, your registered account, interactions with our customer support team, and any communication we send to you by email or other means. It should be read alongside our Terms and Conditions and Responsible Gaming guidelines.
By registering an account and using the ya999 platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with how we handle your data, please do not create an account or continue using the platform.
02 Information We Collect
ya999 collects personal information through different points of interaction with the platform. Below is a breakdown of the categories of data we collect and the context in which they are gathered.
Information you provide directly:
- Registration data: Full name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, preferred currency (PKR) and payment method selection.
- Identity verification documents: Government-issued photo ID (such as CNIC) and supporting payment method verification, where required for KYC purposes before processing withdrawals.
- Payment information: Details of the payment methods used to deposit and withdraw funds — including JazzCash account references, Easypaisa numbers, Raast IDs, bank account details and card information. Full card numbers are processed and stored only by our PCI-DSS compliant payment partners; ya999 retains only tokenised references.
- Customer support communications: Records of any conversations you initiate with our support team via live chat or email, including the content of your enquiry and any attachments you share.
Information collected automatically:
- Device and browser data: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device identifiers and screen resolution.
- Usage data: Pages visited, games played, bets placed, session durations, login times and navigation patterns within the platform.
- Cookies and similar technologies: Session cookies, persistent cookies and local storage used to maintain your login session, remember preferences and support platform analytics. See Section 6 for full details.
Note on sensitive data: ya999 does not intentionally collect sensitive personal data such as religious beliefs, political opinions, or biometric data beyond what is necessary for age and identity verification.

03 How We Use Your Data
ya999 uses your personal information only for legitimate purposes directly related to operating the platform and providing you with a safe, reliable gaming experience. Specifically, we use your data to:
- Create and manage your player account, including verifying your identity and age before you can deposit or withdraw funds.
- Process deposits and withdrawals in PKR through your chosen payment method — JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast, bank transfer, debit card or mobile wallet.
- Deliver the games, sports betting markets, live casino tables and bingo rooms you access through the platform.
- Apply and manage bonus offers, VIP tier rewards and promotional credits in accordance with the relevant terms.
- Detect and prevent fraud, money laundering, account sharing, bonus abuse and any other activity that violates our Terms and Conditions.
- Monitor gaming patterns to support responsible gaming obligations — for example, identifying accounts that may benefit from deposit limit reminders or self-exclusion tools.
- Respond to your customer support enquiries and resolve disputes.
- Send you transactional communications such as deposit confirmations, withdrawal updates and account security alerts.
- Send promotional communications about bonuses or new games, where you have not opted out of receiving such messages. You can opt out at any time from your account settings.
- Maintain accurate records for audit and compliance purposes.
No profiling for third-party advertising: ya999 does not use your personal data to build profiles for sale to advertisers or data brokers. Any behavioural analysis we perform is solely for improving your experience on our own platform.
04 Legal Basis for Processing
Every time ya999 processes your personal data, we do so on one of the following legal grounds:
- Contract performance: Processing your registration data and payment information is necessary to fulfil the contract between you and ya999 — that is, to operate your account and provide the gaming services you have signed up for.
- Legal obligation: Certain data processing activities — such as retaining financial transaction records and conducting identity verification — are required by applicable financial record-keeping and anti-money laundering obligations.
- Legitimate interests: ya999 processes device data, usage logs and cookies to maintain platform security, detect fraud and improve the overall player experience. These interests do not override your fundamental privacy rights.
- Consent: Where we send you optional promotional emails or use non-essential cookies, we do so on the basis of your consent. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before that point.
05 Data Sharing & Third Parties
ya999 does not sell or rent your personal data. We share data with third parties only where it is strictly necessary to operate the platform, and only with parties who are contractually bound to protect your information to the same standard we do.
The categories of third parties with whom data may be shared include:
- Payment processors: JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast, banking partners and card networks receive the payment details necessary to process your PKR deposits and withdrawals. These providers operate under their own regulated privacy and security frameworks.
- Identity verification services: Third-party KYC providers may receive copies of identity documents submitted through your account for the purpose of verifying your age and identity. These providers are not permitted to use your data for any other purpose.
- Fraud prevention and security: Device fingerprinting and fraud detection partners receive anonymised or pseudonymised signals to help identify suspicious account activity.
- Game software providers: Casino game studios whose titles are hosted on the ya999 platform may receive game session data in order to deliver the game correctly. Game providers do not receive your payment or full identity information.
- Customer support tools: Our live chat and support ticketing systems are operated by third-party software providers. Communication data is processed on our behalf and is not used independently by those providers.
- Analytics platforms: Aggregated, anonymised usage data may be shared with analytics tools to help us understand how the platform is used and where we can improve it.
ya999 does not share data with any third party based outside of established data-sharing frameworks without appropriate safeguards in place. We will never disclose your personal information to unrelated commercial parties.
06 Cookies & Tracking
ya999 uses cookies and similar local storage technologies to make the platform work properly and to improve your experience. When you visit ya999 for the first time, you will see a cookie consent notice allowing you to manage your preferences for non-essential cookies.
The cookies we use fall into the following categories:
- Strictly necessary cookies: These are required for the platform to function. They maintain your login session, remember your language preference and enable secure navigation between pages. You cannot opt out of these cookies while using the platform.
- Functional cookies: These remember choices you have made — such as game display settings or deposit limit configurations — so you do not have to re-enter them each time you log in.
- Analytics cookies: These help us understand how players navigate the platform — which pages are visited most, where sessions begin and end, and how features are used. The data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
- Security cookies: These assist with fraud detection and account security — for example, flagging login attempts from unusual devices or locations.
You can manage or withdraw your consent to non-essential cookies at any time through the cookie settings option in the platform footer or from your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of some platform features.
No third-party advertising cookies: ya999 does not deploy advertising network cookies or allow third-party ad platforms to track you across other websites through our platform.
07 Data Retention
ya999 retains personal data only for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or for as long as required by applicable record-keeping obligations. The retention periods in the summary table in Section 2 reflect our standard practice.
When an account is closed — whether by your choice or by ya999 following a breach of our Terms — we retain certain data for a period after closure. This is primarily to:
- Comply with financial transaction record-keeping requirements.
- Resolve any disputes or complaints that arise after closure.
- Prevent a voluntarily self-excluded player from re-registering during their exclusion period.
- Investigate and respond to any fraud, chargebacks or regulatory enquiries related to the account.
Once the applicable retention period has expired, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked back to you as an individual.
08 Your Rights
As a user of the ya999 platform, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, contact our support team via live chat or at [email protected].
- Right of access: You can request a copy of the personal data ya999 holds about you. We will provide this within a reasonable timeframe and at no charge for standard requests.
- Right to rectification: If any information we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to ask us to correct it. You can update most basic account details directly from your account settings dashboard.
- Right to erasure: You may request that we delete your personal data. We will honour this request where there is no overriding legal obligation to retain the data — such as financial record requirements. Where deletion is not possible, we will inform you of the reason.
- Right to restrict processing: In certain circumstances, you can ask us to pause processing of your data — for example, while a dispute is being resolved — without requesting full deletion.
- Right to data portability: You may request that we provide your data in a structured, machine-readable format so that you can transfer it to another service if you wish.
- Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on your consent — such as receiving promotional emails — you can withdraw that consent at any time without affecting prior processing. Use the unsubscribe link in any marketing email or contact support directly.
- Right to object: You may object to processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interests where you believe your rights and freedoms outweigh those interests. We will consider your objection and respond accordingly.
Response time: ya999 aims to respond to all data rights requests within 30 days. Where a request is complex or high in volume, we may extend this by an additional 30 days and will notify you if that is the case.
09 Security Measures
ya999 takes the security of your personal data seriously. We maintain a range of technical and organisational measures to protect your information from unauthorised access, loss or disclosure:
- Encryption in transit: All data exchanged between your browser or device and the ya999 platform is encrypted using TLS (Transport Layer Security).
- Encrypted storage: Sensitive data including passwords and payment tokens is stored in encrypted form. Passwords are hashed using industry-standard algorithms — ya999 staff cannot read your password.
- Access controls: Internal access to player data is restricted to staff members who require it to perform their role. All access is logged and audited.
- Two-factor authentication: ya999 supports two-factor authentication (2FA) for player accounts. We strongly encourage all registered players to enable 2FA from their account security settings.
- Fraud monitoring: Automated systems monitor transactions and login patterns for signs of fraud or account compromise in real time.
Despite these measures, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. If you become aware of any unauthorised activity on your ya999 account, contact our support team immediately so we can take protective action, including temporarily locking the account.
10 Children's Privacy
The ya999 platform is strictly for adults aged 18 and above. ya999 does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. If we become aware that an account has been created by or for a minor, the account will be suspended immediately and any data associated with it will be deleted.
If you believe a minor may have accessed or registered on ya999, please contact us at [email protected] so we can investigate and act quickly. For guidance on keeping young people safe online, visit our Responsible Gaming page.
11 Changes to This Policy
ya999 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in how we operate, improvements to our data practices, or evolving obligations. When we make changes, the "Last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised.
For significant changes that materially affect how your data is used, ya999 will notify registered players by email with reasonable notice before the changes come into effect. Minor clarifications that do not change the substance of the policy will take effect immediately upon publication.
We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the ya999 platform after any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
