tbji Casino Privacy Policy
At tbji, protecting your personal information is just as important to us as delivering a world-class online gaming experience. This Privacy Policy explains exactly how we collect, use, store, and protect your data when you use the tbji platform.
Your Privacy, Our Priority
How tbji Safeguards Your Data
All data transmitted between your device and the tbji platform is protected by industry-standard SSL/TLS encryption. Your personal and financial information travels securely — readable only by the intended recipient.
Access to your personal data within tbji is limited to authorised personnel only, operating on a strict need-to-know basis. We maintain detailed access logs and conduct regular internal audits to enforce this principle.
tbji does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party marketers. Your data is used solely to operate the tbji platform, verify your identity, process your transactions, and comply with Philippine law.
Our Know Your Customer (KYC) process is designed to meet the requirements of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation. Document verification is conducted securely, and KYC data is retained only for as long as legally required.
Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the right to access, correct, object to, and request deletion of your personal data. tbji provides clear channels for exercising these rights through our support team.
We do not hold onto your data longer than necessary. tbji maintains clear retention schedules for every category of personal data we process, aligned with our PAGCOR obligations and Philippine data protection regulations.
1 Introduction
tbji Casino ("tbji," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of every player who uses the tbji online gaming platform. This Privacy Policy describes, in clear and plain language, the types of personal information we collect from players in the Philippines and elsewhere, the purposes for which that information is used, the conditions under which it may be shared, and the rights available to you as a data subject under Philippine law.

This includes, but is not limited to, your name, contact details, financial information, government-issued identification numbers, and device identifiers.

9 Your Privacy Rights
As a data subject under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data held by tbji. We are committed to facilitating the exercise of these rights promptly and without undue burden.
To exercise any of these rights, contact the tbji Data Protection Officer at [email protected] with the subject line "Data Privacy Request." We will acknowledge your request within five (5) business days and respond fully within thirty (30) calendar days. We may require you to verify your identity before processing your request.
10 Children & Minors
The tbji platform is strictly intended for adults. The minimum legal age to participate in casino-style gambling in the Philippines is 21 years old, and tbji enforces this requirement rigorously at the point of registration and through ongoing KYC verification.
tbji does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 21 years of age. If we discover that an Account has been created by or on behalf of a person under 21, we will:
- Immediately suspend and then permanently close the Account;
- Return any deposits to the originating payment method;
- Void all wagers and withhold any winnings derived from underage gambling activity;
- Delete or anonymise all personal data associated with the Account, subject to any legal retention obligations.
11 Third-Party Links & Services
The tbji platform may, from time to time, reference third-party services such as payment gateways in the context of transaction processing. When you interact with a third-party payment provider such as GCash or PayMaya, their own privacy policies govern the handling of your data on their platforms. tbji is not responsible for the privacy practices of external third-party services.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you use in connection with your tbji Account, particularly your chosen payment provider. tbji's responsibility for data protection extends only to the tbji platform and services operated directly by tbji.
12 Policy Updates
tbji reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable Philippine laws and regulations, or PAGCOR regulatory requirements. When we make material changes to this Policy, we will:
- Post the updated Privacy Policy on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date;
- Send a notification to your registered email address where the changes are significant; and
- Where required by law, obtain your renewed consent before processing your data under the revised terms.
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how tbji protects your personal data. Your continued use of the tbji platform following the posting of any updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acknowledgment of the changes.
13 Contact & Data Protection Officer
tbji has appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO) in accordance with the requirements of the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012. The DPO is responsible for overseeing tbji's compliance with the DPA and serves as the primary point of contact for all data privacy matters.
