4 Storage & Security
Data ProtectionStar88 takes the security of your personal data seriously. All data transmitted between your device and the platform is protected using industry-standard SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption. Sensitive account information is stored in encrypted form on secured servers with access controls limited to authorised personnel.
Additional security measures include:
- OTP-based two-step verification for logins and sensitive account changes.
- Automatic session timeouts after periods of inactivity.
- Ongoing monitoring for unusual account activity or login patterns.
- Regular security assessments of platform infrastructure.
While we implement robust protections, no system is completely immune to risk. We encourage all users to keep their passwords confidential and to contact our support team immediately if they suspect their account has been accessed without authorisation.
Never share your password, OTP, or account credentials with anyone — including people claiming to be star88 staff. Our team will never ask for your password.
5 Sharing Your Information

- Identity verification providers — For KYC document processing, where applicable.
- Game software providers — Limited technical data required to deliver game content within the platform.
- Security and fraud detection services — Anonymised or pseudonymised data used to identify and prevent fraudulent behaviour.
All third parties who receive your data are required to maintain appropriate data security standards and may only use your information for the specific purpose for which it was shared. We do not share your personal data with advertisers or unrelated third parties.
We may also disclose information where required by applicable Philippine law, court order, or in response to a lawful request from a regulatory authority.
6 Cookies & Tracking
CookiesStar88 uses cookies — small text files placed on your device — and similar tracking technologies to operate and improve the platform. The main types of cookies we use are:
- Essential cookies — Required for core platform functions such as keeping you logged in and maintaining your session. The platform cannot function properly without these.
- Functional cookies — Remember your preferences, such as your last-played games or display settings, to improve your experience on return visits.
- Analytics cookies — Help us understand how the platform is being used — which sections are most visited, how long sessions last — so we can make improvements. Data from these cookies is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
- Security cookies — Used to detect and prevent fraudulent activity, such as identifying unusual login locations or patterns.
You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies may affect your ability to use certain platform features, including maintaining a logged-in session. Analytics and functional cookies can generally be disabled without impacting core functionality.

8 Data Retention
Retention PeriodStar88 retains your personal data only for as long as it is necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by applicable law and regulation.

When your data is no longer required and there is no legal basis for continued retention, it is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to you personally.
9 Minors
21+ OnlyThe star88 platform is strictly for adults aged 21 years and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone below the age of 21. Age verification is a required step during account registration and KYC.
If we become aware that personal data has been collected from a person under the age of 21, that account will be closed immediately and the data will be deleted. If you believe an underage person has registered on the platform, please contact our support team promptly.
Attempting to register an account while underage is a violation of the star88 Terms and Conditions. For more information about responsible access, visit our Responsible Gaming page.
