6 Cookies & Tracking Technologies
i888 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the platform, remember your preferences, analyze usage patterns, and deliver a personalized gaming experience. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website.
The types of cookies used on the i888 platform include:
- Strictly necessary cookies: Essential for the platform to function. These include session cookies that keep you logged in and security cookies that protect against cross-site request forgery. These cannot be disabled.
- Functional cookies: Remember your preferences such as language settings, display options, and game lobby filters. Disabling these may affect your experience.

- Marketing cookies: Used to deliver relevant promotional content and track the effectiveness of i888's marketing campaigns. These are only set with your consent.
You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies.

7 Data Security
i888 implements industry-standard technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or destruction. Our security measures include:
- Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and the i888 platform is encrypted using TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocols. Sensitive data at rest, including payment information and identity documents, is encrypted using AES-256 encryption.

In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the National Privacy Commission (NPC) within 72 hours and affected players without undue delay, as required by the Data Privacy Act of 2012.
While i888 takes all reasonable steps to protect your data, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your own account credentials. If you suspect that your i888 account has been compromised, contact our support team immediately at [email protected].

When personal data is no longer required, i888 will securely delete or anonymize it in accordance with our data disposal procedures. Anonymized data (which cannot be used to identify you) may be retained indefinitely for statistical and analytical purposes.

10 Minors & Age Restriction
i888 is strictly an adult gaming platform. In accordance with Philippine gambling regulations, only persons aged 21 years and above are permitted to register and use the i888 platform. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21.
As part of our KYC verification process, i888 requires all players to provide proof of age before their account is fully activated and before any withdrawal can be processed. Any account found to belong to a person under 21 years of age will be immediately and permanently closed, and any funds held in that account will be handled in accordance with applicable regulations.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has registered an account on i888 using false information, please contact us immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate and take appropriate action, including account closure and deletion of any personal data collected from the minor.
11 International Data Transfers
i888 primarily stores and processes your personal data within the Philippines. However, some of our third-party service providers — including game studios, KYC verification providers, and cloud infrastructure partners — may be located in other countries. Where personal data is transferred outside the Philippines, i888 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data in accordance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012.
These safeguards may include contractual clauses approved by the National Privacy Commission, adequacy decisions recognizing the recipient country's data protection standards, or other legally recognized transfer mechanisms. i888 will not transfer your personal data to a country that does not provide an adequate level of data protection without your explicit consent or a valid legal basis.
For more information about the specific safeguards applied to international data transfers involving your personal data, contact our Data Protection Officer at [email protected].
