At Skybet, your personal information is treated with the same care we apply to your money. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what data we collect, why we need it, how it's stored, and what rights you have over it — all written in plain English so nothing gets lost in legal language.

This Privacy Policy is issued by Skybet, the online sports betting and gaming platform operating at skybet-khelo.net ("Skybet", "we", "us", "our"). Skybet is the data controller responsible for the personal information you provide when using its services, meaning Skybet determines the purposes and means of processing your data and is accountable for how it is handled.
Skybet is designed and operated specifically for Pakistani players. The platform operates in Pakistani Rupees (PKR) and its services are directed at residents of Pakistan. This Privacy Policy has been written with Pakistani users in mind, in clear English that reflects the realities of using a digital betting platform in Pakistan.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or about how Skybet handles your personal data, you can contact Skybet's support team at any time via the email address or live chat available on the platform. Skybet is committed to responding to all data-related enquiries promptly and helpfully.
Skybet collects personal data in the following categories. In each case, only the data actually needed is collected — nothing extra, nothing unnecessary.
Data you provide directly to Skybet:
Data generated automatically when you use Skybet:
Skybet does not collect sensitive special-category data such as racial or ethnic origin, health information, religious beliefs or biometric data beyond what is strictly necessary for identity verification (i.e., the photo on your CNIC). The CNIC photo is used solely to confirm the document is genuine and matches your selfie — it is not processed for any other purpose.
Skybet collects data for specific, legitimate purposes. Every item of data collected has a reason behind it. The core purposes are:
Skybet processes your personal data on one or more of the following legal grounds:
This section goes into more practical detail about how your data actually flows through Skybet's operations on a day-to-day basis.
When you register on Skybet, your name and CNIC are cross-referenced against Skybet's fraud prevention systems to ensure no duplicate account is being created and to confirm basic identity plausibility. Your mobile number is used to send account security codes and important account notifications. Your email address receives registration confirmation, withdrawal receipts, and — only if you've opted in — promotional communications.
When you place a bet, Skybet logs the market, stake, odds and outcome against your account. These records are permanent within the data retention periods described in Section 8. They are used to calculate your running balance, settle winnings accurately, produce your bet history (visible in your account dashboard), resolve any bet settlement disputes, and generate the anonymised statistical reporting that Skybet uses to monitor platform integrity.
When you deposit or withdraw, your payment method details are passed to the relevant payment processor (Easypaisa, JazzCash, NayaPay, SadaPay, IBFT network, or Visa/Mastercard network) as required to execute the transaction. Skybet does not store full card numbers or mobile banking PINs on its own servers — these are handled by the payment processor using their own encryption systems. Skybet retains a transaction record showing the amount, method, timestamp and outcome.
When you contact support, the conversation is logged and tagged to your account. This allows Skybet to provide continuity when you return with a follow-up question, to review the quality of support provided, and to reference prior conversations when investigating a complaint. Support records are not shared outside the support team except where required for escalated dispute resolution.
Skybet does not sell or share your personal data with third parties for marketing or commercial purposes. Data is shared only in the following limited circumstances:
All third parties who receive any Skybet player data are bound by data processing agreements that limit their use of that data to the specific purpose for which it was shared.
Skybet uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the platform and improve your experience. Cookies are small files stored in your browser. The cookies Skybet uses fall into the following categories:
Skybet does not use third-party advertising tracking cookies. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies may prevent certain Skybet features from working correctly.
Skybet retains personal data for as long as is necessary for the purpose it was collected, or as required by applicable legal and regulatory obligations. The general retention schedule is shown in the Quick Reference table at the top of this page. Key principles:
When a retention period expires, data is either securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to an individual player. Anonymised aggregate data may be retained indefinitely for statistical analysis and platform improvement purposes.
Skybet implements technical and organisational security measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the data processed. These measures include:
While Skybet takes every reasonable precaution to protect your data, no internet transmission is 100% secure. Players are encouraged to use strong, unique passwords for their Skybet account and to enable two-factor authentication where available.
As a Skybet player, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, contact Skybet support with your account details and a clear description of your request. Skybet will respond within a reasonable timeframe.
Skybet's services are strictly for individuals aged 18 and above. Skybet does not knowingly collect or retain personal data from anyone under the age of 18. Age is verified at registration through the date of birth provided, and identity documents may be requested to confirm it.
If Skybet discovers that an account was created by or on behalf of a minor, the account will be immediately closed, all bets voided, and any personal data collected will be deleted promptly, subject only to any minimum retention obligations required by law. The matter may be reported to relevant authorities if required.
Parents and guardians who believe a minor has accessed Skybet using their details should contact Skybet support immediately. Skybet will investigate and take appropriate action without delay. Parental control software can be installed on shared devices to prevent access to gambling platforms by minors.
Skybet may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the platform's data practices, applicable regulations, or the services offered. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page shows when the most recent revision was made.
Where changes are material — meaning they significantly affect how your data is used or what rights you have — Skybet will notify active account holders by email and/or via an in-platform notification before the changes take effect. Minor clarifications and non-substantive updates may be made without advance notice.
Continuing to use your Skybet account after the effective date of any updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acknowledgement of the changes. If you disagree with any updates, you should stop using Skybet and contact support to discuss your options, including account closure and return of your PKR balance.
If you have any questions, concerns or requests relating to this Privacy Policy or to the personal data Skybet holds about you, please contact Skybet's support team through any of the following channels:
When submitting a data-related request, please include your registered account mobile number or email address and a clear description of your request.

These are not marketing promises — they are actionable rights you can exercise at any time through Skybet support

If any data Skybet holds about you is wrong, you can ask us to correct it. Basic contact details can be updated directly in your account settings without needing to contact support.

Object to processing based on Skybet's legitimate interests. Skybet reviews all objections seriously and will stop the relevant processing unless compelling grounds exist that outweigh your privacy interest.
Where Skybet relies on your consent to process data — such as for marketing messages — you can withdraw that consent at any time with no effect on your account access or the core services available to you.
Now you know exactly how Skybet looks after your data, you can focus on what matters — enjoying cricket, live casino, jackpot slots and virtual sports with instant PKR payouts and a platform that respects both your money and your privacy.
