ki9 Privacy Policy
Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data ki9 collects, how it is used, who it may be shared with, and the rights you hold as a player on our Bangladesh online casino and sports betting platform.
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how ki9 ("ki9", "we", "us", "our") collects, stores, processes, and protects the personal data of users ("Player", "you", "your") who register for or access the ki9 platform at ki9.bio. ki9 is Bangladesh's leading online casino and sports betting destination, and we are committed to handling your personal information responsibly, transparently, and in a manner consistent with internationally recognised data protection principles.
By creating a ki9 account, making a deposit via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or any other supported payment method, or simply browsing the ki9 platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy and consent to the collection and use of your personal data as described herein. If you do not agree to the terms of this Policy, you must not register an account or use the ki9 platform.
2. Personal Data We Collect
ki9 collects personal data from players at various stages of the account lifecycle. The categories of data collected and the circumstances in which each is gathered are set out below.

- Date of birth (to verify that you are aged 21 or above)
- Bangladeshi mobile phone number
- Email address
- Preferred payment method (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, or bank account)
- Username and password (password is stored in encrypted form; ki9 never stores plaintext passwords)
2.2 Identity Verification (KYC) Data
In accordance with anti-money laundering (AML) and responsible gaming obligations, ki9 may request one or more of the following documents from players at the point of withdrawal or when triggered by account review procedures:

2.3 Transaction Data
Every financial transaction carried out on ki9 is logged. This includes deposit amounts, deposit timestamps, withdrawal requests, withdrawal processing times, payment method identifiers (e.g., bKash account number), and wallet balance changes. Transaction data is retained for a minimum of five years for regulatory and fraud prevention purposes.
2.4 Gameplay and Betting Data
ki9 records all betting and gaming activity associated with your account, including individual wager amounts, game titles played, bet outcomes, bonus usage, and session duration. This data is used to detect problem gambling patterns, investigate disputes, and improve platform personalisation for Bangladeshi players.
2.5 Technical and Device Data
When you access ki9, our servers automatically collect certain technical information, including:
- IP address and approximate geolocation (city level)
- Device type, operating system, and browser version
- Session timestamps and duration
- Pages visited and navigation path within ki9
- Referral source (how you arrived at ki9.bio)
This technical data is collected automatically via server logs and does not require any action on your part. It is used primarily for security monitoring, fraud detection, and platform performance analysis.
2.6 Communication Data
When you contact ki9 support at [email protected], the content of your emails, your email address, and any attachments you submit are stored. This data is retained for the purpose of resolving your enquiry, maintaining a support history, and training our customer experience team.
3. How ki9 Uses Your Personal Data
ki9 uses the personal data we collect exclusively for the purposes described in this Policy. We do not use your data for unrelated commercial activities, and we do not sell your data to third-party advertisers. The primary purposes for which ki9 processes personal data are as follows:
3.1 Account Management
Your registration data is used to create and maintain your ki9 player account, verify your identity, apply age restrictions (21+ only), and manage your account settings and preferences. Without this data, we cannot provide you with a ki9 account.
3.2 Payment Processing
Transaction data and payment method identifiers are used to process your deposits via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or Upay, and to execute your withdrawal requests. This processing is necessary for the performance of our contractual obligations to you as a player.
3.3 Fraud Prevention and Security
Technical data, device fingerprints , and transaction records are analysed to detect and prevent fraudulent activity, unauthorised account access, bonus abuse, duplicate account creation, and money laundering. This processing is a legitimate interest of ki9 and is necessary to protect both our platform and all players who use it.
3.4 Responsible Gaming Compliance
Gameplay and session data are monitored to identify patterns that may indicate problem gambling behaviour. Where such patterns are detected, ki9 may proactively contact the player with responsible gaming resources or apply account restrictions as outlined in our Responsible Gaming policy. This processing is carried out in the genuine interest of player welfare.
3.5 Legal and Regulatory Obligations
Certain categories of personal data — particularly identity verification documents and transaction records — are retained to fulfil anti-money laundering (AML) obligations and to respond to lawful requests from competent authorities. ki9 will not disclose your personal data to any government body unless required by law or compelled by a valid legal process.
3.6 Platform Improvement and Analytics
Aggregated, anonymised data derived from player behaviour on ki9 is used to improve the platform's design, game catalogue, promotional offerings, and payment infrastructure for Bangladeshi players. This analytics processing does not identify you personally and cannot be traced back to your individual account.
3.7 Marketing Communications
If you have opted in to receive promotional communications from ki9, we may use your email address or mobile number to send you details of active bonus offers, seasonal promotions (such as Eid or BPL cricket season specials), and platform updates. You may opt out of marketing communications at any time by contacting [email protected]. Opting out of marketing does not affect your ability to use your ki9 account.
4. Data Sharing and Third Parties
ki9 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. However, to deliver our services effectively, we engage carefully selected third-party service providers. Each third party is bound by strict data processing agreements and may only process your data for the specific purpose for which they have been engaged.
4.1 Payment Processors
To process your bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay transactions, ki9 shares the minimum necessary payment data — including your registered mobile number and transaction amount — with the relevant payment gateway. Bank transfer deposits involve sharing your account name and amount with the receiving Bangladeshi bank (Dutch-Bangla Bank, BRAC Bank, City Bank, Islami Bank, Sonali Bank, or your chosen institution). These processors are independent data controllers under their own privacy frameworks.
4.2 Game Providers
Games on ki9 are supplied by third-party studios including Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Microgaming, Ezugi, and Spribe. A session token is passed to these providers when you launch a game. This token identifies your ki9 session for the purpose of recording your wager results and crediting or debiting your wallet. Game providers do not receive your full personal profile.
4.3 Law Enforcement and Regulatory Authorities
ki9 may disclose personal data to law enforcement or relevant authorities where required by law, where necessary to protect the safety of any person, or where ki9 is compelled to do so by a valid legal order. In all such cases, ki9 will disclose only the minimum data necessary to satisfy the legal requirement and will, where legally permissible, notify the affected player.
4.4 Data We Do Not Share
ki9 strictly does not share your personal data with:
- Advertising networks or third-party marketers
- Data brokers or data aggregation services
- Social media platforms
- Any party not directly involved in delivering ki9's services to you
5. Data Retention
ki9 retains your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. The following retention periods apply:
When a retention period expires, ki9 securely deletes or anonymises the relevant data. Anonymised, aggregated data derived from your records (e.g., statistical usage patterns with no personal identifiers) may be retained indefinitely for platform improvement purposes.
6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
ki9 uses cookies and similar lightweight tracking technologies to deliver a functional, personalised experience on our platform. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit ki9.bio.
6.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the ki9 platform to function. They maintain your login session, remember your language and currency preferences, and ensure that your wallet balance is displayed correctly. You cannot opt out of strictly necessary cookies without preventing the platform from working.
6.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies
ki9 uses first-party analytics cookies to understand how players navigate the platform — which pages are visited most, where players tend to exit, and how long sessions last on average. This data is collected in aggregated, non-personally-identifiable form. No third-party analytics platforms currently have access to raw ki9 player data.
6.3 Managing Cookies
You may configure your browser to block or delete cookies at any time. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will impair your ability to log in and use your ki9 account. Disabling performance cookies has no effect on your gameplay experience. Instructions for managing cookies are available in your browser's help documentation.
7. Data Security
Protecting your personal data is a top priority at ki9. We implement a range of technical and organisational security measures to safeguard the information you entrust to us.
7.1 Technical Safeguards
ki9 employs the following technical measures to protect player data:
- End-to-end SSL encryption for all data in transit
- Encrypted storage of all passwords (bcrypt hashing — plaintext passwords are never stored)
- Firewall-protected server infrastructure
- Automated intrusion detection and anomaly alerting
- Regular security assessments of platform infrastructure
- Two-factor authentication available for player accounts
7.2 Organisational Safeguards
Access to player personal data within ki9 is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. Only team members who require access to personal data to perform their job function are granted it, and all such access is logged and audited. ki9 team members are trained on data protection obligations as part of their onboarding process.
7.3 Data Breach Response
In the unlikely event of a data security breach affecting your personal information, ki9 will take immediate steps to contain the breach, assess the risk to affected players, and notify impacted players without undue delay. ki9 will provide details of the nature of the breach, the categories of data affected, and the steps taken to mitigate any potential harm.
8. Your Privacy Rights
As a ki9 player, you hold a number of rights in relation to the personal data we hold about you. ki9 is committed to honouring these rights promptly and transparently. To exercise any of the rights listed below, please contact us at [email protected] with the subject line "Privacy Rights Request" and include your ki9 username and a description of your request.
8.1 Right of Access
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data ki9 holds about you. We will respond to verified access requests within 30 days and provide your data in a clear, readable format.
8.2 Right to Rectification
If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that it be corrected. Players may update basic profile information directly from within their ki9 account settings. For corrections to identity or financial data, please contact support.
8.3 Right to Erasure
You may request the deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, where you withdraw consent, or where the data has been unlawfully processed. Note that ki9 is legally required to retain certain data (such as transaction records) for a minimum period even after account closure, and the right to erasure does not override these obligations.
8.4 Right to Restrict Processing
In certain circumstances, you may request that ki9 restricts the processing of your personal data — for example, while the accuracy of data you have disputed is being verified. During a restriction period, ki9 will continue to store your data but will not actively process it for other purposes.
8.5 Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive the personal data you provided to ki9 in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, and to have that data transferred to another service provider where technically feasible.
8.6 Right to Withdraw Consent
Where ki9 processes your personal data based on your consent (for example, for marketing communications), you may withdraw that consent at any time by contacting [email protected]. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before the withdrawal.
9. Players Under 21
ki9 is strictly an adult platform. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. Our registration process requires players to confirm their date of birth and agree to an age verification check. If ki9 discovers that personal data has been collected from a person under the age of 21, that account will be suspended immediately, all funds will be returned, and the data will be securely deleted. 21+ Only
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has created a ki9 account, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so that we can take appropriate action without delay.
10. Updates to This Privacy Policy
ki9 reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal obligations, or platform features. When material changes are made, registered players will be notified via the email address or mobile number on their ki9 account. The updated Policy will also be published at ki9.bio/privacy-policy with a revised effective date.
Your continued use of the ki9 platform after the effective date of any revised Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically so that you are always informed about how your data is being handled.
