Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

499db operates 499db.vip, an online casino and sports betting platform serving players across Bangladesh, including Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, Barisal, Rangpur, Mymensingh, and Cox's Bazar. We are committed to protecting the personal information of every user who registers with, deposits to, or otherwise interacts with our platform.

This Privacy Policy applies to all services offered under the 499db brand, including cricket betting, live casino, slots, crash games, and all other gaming and wagering products available on our site. It governs how we handle data collected through our website, mobile browsers, and any associated digital channels. If you do not agree with the terms of this policy, please discontinue use of the platform.

2. Information We Collect

We collect several categories of information in order to operate the platform, verify user identity, process payments, and provide a safe and personalised gaming environment. The categories of data we collect are described below.

Account and Identity Information

• Full name, date of birth, and nationality as provided during registration.
• Valid email address and mobile phone number used for account communication.
• Government-issued ID documents submitted during the KYC verification process.
• Password (stored only as a cryptographic hash — we never store plain-text passwords).

Financial and Payment Information

• Mobile banking account details (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay) used for deposits and withdrawals.
• Transaction history including deposit amounts, withdrawal requests, and associated timestamps.
• Partial card data if credit or debit card payment methods are used (full card numbers are never stored).

Technical and Usage Information

• IP address, browser type and version, device model, and operating system.
• Pages visited, games played, session durations, and click-path data gathered via standard web analytics.
• Referral source data (for example, the link or search query that brought you to our site).

3. How We Use Your Information

The personal data we collect is used strictly for legitimate operational purposes. Specifically, we use your information for the following purposes:

• Account creation, management, and authentication — to ensure only the registered user can access their account.
• Payment processing and verification of deposits and withdrawals made via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and other supported gateways.
• Identity verification (KYC) to comply with responsible gaming obligations and prevent underage gambling. 499db strictly enforces a 21+ age policy.
• Customer support — to respond to your queries, complaints, and service requests in a timely and accurate manner.
• Platform improvement and personalisation — to analyse usage patterns, optimise game delivery, and tailor promotional offers to your preferences.
• Fraud prevention and security monitoring — to detect and investigate suspicious activity, protect funds, and maintain platform integrity.

4. Sharing Your Information

499db does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any external party for advertising or marketing purposes. We may, however, share limited data with trusted service providers who assist us in operating the platform, subject to strict confidentiality obligations. These include:

• Payment processors and mobile banking partners (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay) — only the minimum data required to complete a transaction is transmitted.
• Game software providers (Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, Spribe, Ezugi, and others) — only session tokens and technical data necessary for game delivery, never your payment or identity documents.
• Analytics and security technology providers operating under data processing agreements that prohibit them from using your data for their own purposes.

We may also disclose personal data where required to do so by applicable law, regulation, court order, or where we have a good-faith belief that disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of 499db, our users, or the public.

5. Payment Data and Financial Security

Financial transactions on 499db are processed through established mobile payment networks including bKash and Nagad, which are widely trusted across Bangladesh. When you initiate a deposit or withdrawal, your payment credentials are entered directly on the payment provider's secured interface — not on 499db's servers. This means we do not at any point store your full bKash PIN, Nagad PIN, bank card number, or similar sensitive payment credentials.

Transaction records (amounts, timestamps, status) are retained for accounting, fraud prevention, and dispute resolution purposes. These records are encrypted at rest and access is restricted to authorised 499db personnel on a strict need-to-know basis.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

499db uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to maintain session state, understand how users interact with the platform, and improve overall site performance. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by your browser when you visit our site. We use the following categories of cookies:

Types of Cookies We Use

• Essential cookies — strictly necessary for the site to function. These include session authentication tokens and security cookies. They cannot be disabled without disrupting core functionality.
• Performance and analytics cookies — used to measure page load times, identify error-prone pages, and understand aggregated traffic patterns. Data collected is anonymised or pseudonymised.
• Preference cookies — store your language, display, or notification settings so you do not need to reconfigure the platform on every visit.

You can control non-essential cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling essential cookies will impair login functionality and session security. We do not use cross-site tracking cookies for advertising networks or sell cookie-derived data to any third party.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal data for as long as your 499db account remains active and for a reasonable period thereafter to fulfil the purposes described in this policy. Specifically, transaction records and identity documents are retained for a minimum of five years following account closure in order to support fraud investigations and comply with financial record-keeping obligations.

If you close your account and request data deletion, we will erase or anonymise all data that we are not legally required to retain within 30 days of receiving your verified request. Data that we are legally obligated to keep will be stored securely and will not be used for any ongoing operational purpose.

8. Data Security

499db implements a range of administrative, physical, and technical security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our security infrastructure includes SSL/TLS encryption for all data in transit, AES-256 encryption for sensitive data at rest, role-based access controls limiting staff access to personal data on a strict need-to-know basis, regular security audits and vulnerability assessments, and automated suspicious-activity monitoring.

While we take every reasonable precaution, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. In the unlikely event of a data breach that materially affects your rights, we will notify affected users promptly and take all necessary remedial action. We strongly recommend that all users choose a strong, unique password for their 499db account and never share login credentials with any third party.

9. Your Privacy Rights

As a user of 499db, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our support team using the email address provided at the bottom of this page. We will respond to all verified requests within a reasonable timeframe, typically within 30 days.

• Right of access — you may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you at any time.
• Right of rectification — if any personal data we hold is inaccurate or incomplete, you may request that we correct it.
• Right of erasure — you may request deletion of your personal data, subject to our legal retention obligations described in Section 7.
• Right to restrict processing — in certain circumstances you may request that we limit how we process your data while a dispute or correction request is being resolved.
• Right to object — you may object to our processing of your data for direct marketing purposes at any time, and we will honour that objection without requiring justification.

Please note that the exercise of some rights (particularly erasure) may require the closure of your 499db account. Where we decline a request, we will provide a clear written explanation of the reason for doing so.

10. Protection of Minors

499db is strictly an adults-only platform. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. Our registration process includes date-of-birth verification, and all accounts flagged as potentially belonging to a minor are suspended pending KYC review. If you believe that a person under 21 has registered an account on our platform, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so that we can investigate and take appropriate action, including permanent account closure and deletion of all associated data.

11. Third-Party Links and Services

Our platform integrates with third-party game providers (such as Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, Spribe, and Ezugi) whose software runs within the 499db environment. While we vet these providers carefully, each provider operates under its own privacy practices with respect to in-game technical data. 499db does not control and is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party game engines. We do not include external website links on our platform, and this Privacy Policy applies solely to data collected directly through 499db.vip and its associated services.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

499db reserves the right to update or revise this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal obligations, or platform features. When material changes are made, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, where reasonably practicable, notify registered users via the email address associated with their account.

Your continued use of 499db.vip after a policy update constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we protect your data. Previous versions of this policy are available on request by contacting [email protected].

13. Contact Us
