499bt Privacy Policy — Your Data, Your Rights

At 499bt, we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains exactly what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and what rights you have over your own information. No jargon, no hidden clauses.

Last updated: January 2025

How 499bt Protects Your Privacy

These six principles define how 499bt handles your personal data — from the moment you register to every transaction you make on the platform.

We Only Collect What We Need

499bt collects the minimum personal data required to operate your account, process transactions, and comply with legal obligations. We don't collect data for the sake of it — every piece of information we hold has a clear, documented purpose.

We Never Sell Your Data

Your personal information is never sold, rented, or traded to third parties for marketing purposes. 499bt shares data only with service providers who help us operate the platform — and only under strict data processing agreements that bind them to the same privacy standards we follow.

Your Data Is Encrypted

All data transmitted between your device and 499bt's servers is protected by TLS encryption. Sensitive data stored on our systems — including payment information and identity documents — is encrypted at rest using industry-standard protocols.

Access Is Strictly Controlled

Only 499bt staff who genuinely need access to your data to perform their job functions can view it. Access is logged, monitored, and reviewed regularly. We operate a least-privilege model — nobody sees more than they need to.

You Control Your Data

You have the right to access, correct, and in certain circumstances delete the personal data 499bt holds about you. You can also request a copy of your data in a portable format. These rights are explained in full in the policy below.

We Don't Keep Data Longer Than Necessary

499bt retains personal data only for as long as your account is active and for the period required by applicable law after account closure. Once the retention period expires, your data is securely deleted or anonymised.

1 Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how 499bt ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects the personal data of players and visitors who use the 499bt platform at 499bt.io. It applies to all services offered by 499bt, including sports betting, casino games, live dealer games, and any promotional activities.

By registering for a 499bt account or using the 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 use the 499bt platform.

This policy should be read alongside our Terms and Conditions and Responsible Gaming Policy. Together, these documents form the complete agreement between you and 499bt.

Plain language commitment: We've written this Privacy Policy to be as clear and readable as possible. If anything is unclear, contact our support team at [email protected] and we'll explain it in plain terms.

2 Data We Collect

499bt collects personal data in two categories: data you provide directly, and data we collect automatically when you use the platform.

Category Examples Why We Collect It
Identity Data Full name, date of birth, national ID number Account registration and age verification
Contact Data Email address, phone number Account communication and support
Financial Data bKash/Nagad/Rocket account number, transaction history Processing deposits and withdrawals
Verification Data Passport, national ID scan, proof of address KYC compliance and fraud prevention
Technical Data IP address, device type, browser, operating system Security monitoring and platform optimisation

We do not collect sensitive personal data such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, or health data unless specifically required by law or with your explicit consent.

3 How We Collect Your Data

499bt collects your personal data through the following channels:

  • Direct interactions: When you register for an account, complete identity verification, make a deposit or withdrawal, contact our support team, or participate in a promotion.
  • Automated technologies: When you browse the 499bt platform, we automatically collect technical and usage data through cookies, server logs, and similar tracking technologies.
  • Third-party sources: In some cases, we may receive data about you from payment processors, identity verification providers, or fraud prevention services. This data is used solely to verify your identity and protect your account.

No unsolicited data collection: 499bt does not purchase data lists or collect personal data from social media platforms without your knowledge. Every piece of data we hold about you was either provided by you directly or collected through your use of the 499bt platform.

4 How We Use Your Data

499bt uses your personal data for the following purposes. For each purpose, we have identified the legal basis that allows us to process your data:

  • Account management: To create and maintain your 499bt account, verify your identity, and manage your preferences. Legal basis: contract performance.
  • Transaction processing: To process deposits, withdrawals, and bonus payments. Legal basis: contract performance.
  • Fraud prevention and security: To detect and prevent fraudulent activity, money laundering, and unauthorised account access. Legal basis: legitimate interests and legal obligation.
  • Regulatory compliance: To comply with applicable laws, including anti-money laundering (AML) regulations and age verification requirements. Legal basis: legal obligation.
  • Customer support: To respond to your queries, resolve disputes, and improve our support services. Legal basis: contract performance and legitimate interests.
  • Platform improvement: To analyse usage patterns and improve the 499bt platform experience. Legal basis: legitimate interests.
  • Responsible gaming: To monitor gambling patterns and identify players who may need support. Legal basis: legitimate interests and legal obligation.
  • Marketing communications: To send you promotional offers and updates, where you have opted in to receive them. Legal basis: consent. You can withdraw consent at any time.

499bt will not use your personal data for any purpose that is incompatible with the purposes listed above without first obtaining your consent.

5 Sharing Your Data

499bt does not sell your personal data. We share your data only in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service providers: We share data with trusted third-party providers who help us operate the platform — including payment processors (bKash, Nagad, Rocket), identity verification services, and IT infrastructure providers. All service providers are bound by data processing agreements that require them to protect your data and use it only for the specified purpose.
  • Legal and regulatory authorities: We may disclose your data to law enforcement agencies, regulators, or courts where required by applicable law or in response to a valid legal request.
  • Fraud prevention networks: We may share data with industry fraud prevention databases to protect against fraudulent activity across the online betting sector.
  • Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of 499bt's business, your data may be transferred to the acquiring entity. You will be notified of any such transfer and your rights will be preserved.

No third-party marketing: 499bt never shares your personal data with third parties for their own marketing purposes. If you receive unsolicited marketing claiming to be from 499bt partners, please report it to [email protected].

6 Cookies and Tracking Technologies

499bt uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve your experience on the platform, maintain your session, and analyse how the platform is used. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website.

We use the following types of cookies:

  • Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function. These include session cookies that keep you logged in and security cookies that protect against cross-site request forgery. These cannot be disabled.
  • Analytics cookies: Help us understand how players use the platform so we can improve it. Data collected is aggregated and anonymised.
  • Preference cookies: Remember your settings and preferences, such as language and display options.
  • Marketing cookies: Used to deliver relevant promotional content. These are only set if you have consented to marketing communications.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of the 499bt platform.

7 Data Security

499bt implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, destruction, or alteration. These measures include:

  • TLS 1.3 encryption for all data in transit between your device and our servers.
  • AES-256 encryption for sensitive data stored on our systems.
  • Multi-factor authentication for all 499bt staff accounts with access to player data.
  • Regular penetration testing and security audits conducted by independent third parties.
  • 24/7 intrusion detection and monitoring systems.
  • Strict access controls based on the principle of least privilege.

Despite these measures, no system is completely immune to security risks. In the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your personal data, 499bt will notify you promptly and take all necessary steps to contain and remediate the breach.

You also play a role in keeping your account secure. Use a strong, unique password for your 499bt account, enable two-factor authentication if available, and never share your login credentials with anyone.

8 Data Retention

499bt retains your personal data for as long as your account is active. After you close your account, we retain certain data for the periods required by applicable law — typically five to seven years for financial and identity records, in line with anti-money laundering regulations.

Usage data and analytics data are retained for shorter periods — typically 12 to 24 months — before being anonymised or deleted. Marketing preferences and communication history are retained until you withdraw consent or close your account.

Once the applicable retention period expires, your data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to you as an individual.

10 Minors

The 499bt platform is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. If we discover that a minor has registered an account, we will immediately close the account and delete all associated personal data.
