Skybet Privacy Policy – How We Protect Your Personal Data

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.

Six Things Skybet Players Should Know About Their Data

Plain-language summaries of the most important privacy commitments Skybet makes to every Pakistani player

We Never Sell Your Data
Skybet does not sell, rent or trade your personal information to any third-party marketing company, data broker or advertiser — ever. Your phone number, CNIC details and transaction history remain strictly within Skybet's internal systems and the essential service providers required to operate your account.
256-bit SSL Encryption
Every piece of data transmitted between your device and Skybet's servers is protected by 256-bit SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption — the same standard used by major banks. Whether you're logging in from Lahore or placing a bet in Karachi, your data travels in an encrypted tunnel that cannot be intercepted.
Minimum Data Collection
Skybet collects only what is genuinely necessary to operate your account, verify your identity, process PKR transactions, and comply with legal obligations. We don't collect data we don't need. If we can achieve a purpose with less information, we use less.
Clear Retention Periods
Skybet retains your data only for as long as necessary — either to fulfil the purpose it was collected for, or as required by applicable regulations. Once the retention period expires, data is deleted or anonymised. We don't hold onto old account data indefinitely or use it for purposes beyond the original intent.
Your Rights Are Real
You have the right to access your data, correct inaccuracies, request deletion, and ask questions about how your information is used. Skybet's support team handles data requests promptly and without unnecessary bureaucracy. Your rights as a player and as an individual are taken seriously at every step.
Data Used for Your Protection
Some of the data Skybet processes — account activity patterns, betting frequency, deposit and withdrawal amounts — is analysed specifically to protect you. Responsible gaming monitoring depends on this analysis to identify players who may be developing problematic gambling habits, so we can reach out and offer support before things get worse.

Who We Are

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.

What Personal Data We Collect

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:

  • Registration data: your full legal name, date of birth, CNIC number, Pakistani mobile number, and email address provided when you create your account
  • Identity verification documents: a copy of your CNIC or other identity document, plus a liveness selfie, when verification is requested before a withdrawal or as part of an account security check
  • Payment data: your Easypaisa, JazzCash, NayaPay, SadaPay or IBFT account details, or Visa/Mastercard card information, used to process PKR deposits and withdrawals
  • Support communications: any information you share when contacting Skybet support, including descriptions of issues, bet reference numbers, and any documents you attach

Data generated automatically when you use Skybet:

  • Betting and gaming activity: every bet placed, every game session started, the markets selected, stakes and odds, outcomes, and timestamps
  • Financial activity: deposit amounts, withdrawal requests, bonus credits, PKR balance movements
  • Technical data: your IP address, device type, operating system, browser version, and approximate location derived from IP
  • Cookie and session data: session tokens, preference settings, and usage patterns captured via cookies as described in Section 7

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.

Why We Collect Your Data

Skybet collects data for specific, legitimate purposes. Every item of data collected has a reason behind it. The core purposes are:

  • To operate your account: Without your name, mobile number and CNIC, Skybet cannot create, verify or maintain your account securely. This is the fundamental purpose of identity data collection.
  • To process PKR transactions: Your payment method details are required to credit deposits to your Skybet wallet and to route withdrawals to the correct Easypaisa, JazzCash or bank account. Skybet cannot process a withdrawal without knowing where to send the money.
  • To verify your identity and age: Pakistani regulations and responsible gaming standards require Skybet to confirm that account holders are who they say they are and that they are at least 18 years of age. Identity verification data is collected for this purpose.
  • To prevent fraud and money laundering: Skybet monitors account activity and transaction patterns to detect and prevent fraudulent activity, multi-accounting, bonus abuse, and financial crimes. This monitoring protects honest players as much as it protects Skybet.
  • To provide customer support: Support interactions are logged so that Skybet can track the resolution of complaints, maintain quality standards, and refer back to previous conversations when resolving complex issues.
  • To fulfil responsible gaming obligations: Skybet analyses betting and account activity data to identify indicators of problem gambling behaviour, enabling the platform to intervene proactively where a player may need support.
  • To improve the platform: Aggregated and anonymised technical and usage data helps Skybet understand how the platform is being used, where players encounter difficulties, and what features would add most value — without identifying individual players.

Legal Basis for Processing

Skybet processes your personal data on one or more of the following legal grounds:

  • Contractual necessity: Processing required to fulfil the contract between you and Skybet — operating your account, processing bets, and paying withdrawals. Without this processing, Skybet cannot provide its services to you.
  • Consent: For optional data uses such as marketing communications (where applicable) and non-essential cookies, Skybet relies on your freely given, specific consent. You can withdraw consent at any time without affecting your account or the services available to you.
  • Legal obligation: Skybet is required by applicable regulations to collect and retain certain data — including identity documents and financial records — for specified minimum periods. This processing cannot be opted out of; it is a legal requirement of operating the platform.
  • Legitimate interests: For security monitoring, fraud prevention, and responsible gaming analysis, Skybet processes certain data on the basis of legitimate interests — specifically, the interest in operating a secure, fair and legally compliant platform. These interests are balanced against your privacy rights and do not override them.

How Your Data Is Used at Skybet

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.

Further Privacy Details

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:

  • Payment processors: Easypaisa, JazzCash, NayaPay, SadaPay, IBFT network banks and Visa/Mastercard receive only the data required to process your specific transaction.
  • Identity verification providers: When CNIC verification is required, your document and selfie may be processed by a certified identity verification service provider operating under a strict data processing agreement with Skybet.
  • Game providers: Casino, live casino and virtual sports game providers receive a session token and your anonymised player ID — not your personal identity data — to manage your game session and calculate results.
  • Legal authorities: Skybet will disclose data to law enforcement or regulatory bodies when legally required to do so by valid legal process. Skybet will not resist or delay a valid legal disclosure obligation.
  • Fraud prevention networks: Where required to protect the platform and its honest players, Skybet may share anonymised risk signals with industry fraud prevention networks.

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:

  • Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function. These include session authentication tokens that keep you logged in, security tokens that protect your account from session hijacking, and preference settings that remember your language and display choices. Essential cookies cannot be disabled without preventing core platform functionality.
  • Analytical cookies: Used in anonymised, aggregated form to understand how the Skybet platform is navigated — which pages are visited most, where players encounter errors, and how the mobile versus desktop experience differs. These help Skybet improve the platform for everyone without identifying individual users.
  • Functional cookies: Remember your preferences such as your selected sports, favourite markets, and last-visited section to reduce the number of steps needed to reach your preferred content.

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:

  • Financial records (deposit and withdrawal history) are retained for 7 years from the date of each transaction, as required under anti-money-laundering regulations.
  • Identity documents are retained for 5 years after account closure to allow for post-closure regulatory review if required.
  • Betting and gaming records are retained for 5 years after account closure.
  • Technical logs (IP addresses, device information) are retained on a 13-month rolling basis and then deleted or anonymised.
  • Support records are retained for 3 years after resolution of the relevant interaction.

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:

  • Encryption in transit: All data transmitted between your device and Skybet's servers is encrypted using TLS 1.3 with 256-bit AES encryption.
  • Encryption at rest: Sensitive data stored in Skybet's databases — including identity documents and payment references — is encrypted using industry-standard encryption algorithms.
  • Access controls: Access to personal data within Skybet is restricted to staff who genuinely need it to perform their role. Access logs are maintained and reviewed regularly.
  • Two-factor authentication: Skybet's internal systems require two-factor authentication for all staff access to production databases containing player data.
  • Penetration testing: Skybet's platform and infrastructure are subjected to regular security assessments by independent security professionals.
  • Incident response: In the unlikely event of a data breach that poses a risk to player rights, Skybet will notify affected players promptly and implement containment measures without delay.

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.

  • Right of access: Request a copy of all personal data Skybet holds about you. Skybet will provide this in a clear format within a reasonable timeframe.
  • Right to rectification: If any of the personal data Skybet holds about you is incorrect or out of date, you have the right to request a correction. Basic details like your mobile number and email can also be updated directly in your account settings.
  • Right to erasure: In certain circumstances, you may request that Skybet delete your personal data. Note that some data cannot be deleted while legal retention obligations apply — for example, financial records required by anti-money-laundering regulations must be kept for 7 years regardless of an erasure request.
  • Right to data portability: You may request that Skybet provide your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format so that you can transfer it to another service provider if you choose.
  • Right to object: You may object to processing based on Skybet's legitimate interests. Skybet will review such objections and cease the relevant processing unless compelling legitimate grounds exist.
  • Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on your consent (such as marketing communications), you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before the withdrawal.

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.
