Our Privacy Commitments at a Glance

These six principles guide how Sona Bet handles your personal data. The full policy details follow below.

Your Data Is Never Sold

Sona Bet does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for marketing purposes. Your data belongs to you. We only share it with the service providers who help us run the platform — and only to the extent necessary.

256-Bit SSL Encryption

All data transmitted between your device and the Sona Bet platform is protected by 256-bit SSL encryption. This is the same standard used by banks and financial institutions. Your login credentials, payment details, and personal information are encrypted at every step.

You Control Your Data

Sona Bet players have the right to access, correct, and request deletion of their personal data at any time. You can submit a data request through your account settings or by contacting our support team. We process all data requests within 30 days of receipt.

Payment Data Stays Secure

Sona Bet does not store your full bKash, Nagad, or Rocket account credentials on our servers. Payment transactions are processed through verified, encrypted payment gateways. We only retain the minimum transaction reference data required for account management and dispute resolution.

Transparent Cookie Use

Sona Bet uses cookies to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and understand how players use the platform so we can improve it. We do not use cookies to track your activity outside of sona-bet.club. You can manage cookie preferences from your browser settings at any time.

Marketing You Can Opt Out Of

If you have opted in to receive promotional emails or SMS messages from Sona Bet, you can unsubscribe at any time. Every marketing message we send includes a clear unsubscribe option. You can also manage your communication preferences directly from your Sona Bet account settings.

This Privacy Policy explains how Sona Bet collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal data when you use the sona-bet.club platform. By registering an account or using any Sona Bet service, you confirm that you have read and understood this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the platform.

01 Introduction

Sona Bet is an online gaming platform built for players in Bangladesh. We take the privacy of our players seriously. This Privacy Policy sets out in plain language what personal data Sona Bet collects from you, how we use it, who we share it with, and what rights you have over your own information.

This policy applies to all users of the Sona Bet platform, including registered players, visitors to sona-bet.club, and anyone who contacts our support team. It covers data collected through the website, the Sona Bet mobile app, and any other channel through which you interact with us.

Sona Bet is the data controller for all personal data collected through the platform. If you have any questions about how your data is handled, please contact us using the details in Section 13 of this policy.

02 Data We Collect

Sona Bet collects personal data in several ways — directly from you when you register or use the platform, automatically when you browse the site, and from third-party services we use to operate the platform. Here is a breakdown of the categories of data we collect:

03 How We Use Your Data

Sona Bet uses your personal data for the following purposes:

  • To create and manage your Sona Bet account and verify your identity.
  • To process deposits, withdrawals, and other financial transactions in BDT.
  • To provide customer support and respond to your enquiries.
  • To send you account-related notifications such as transaction confirmations and security alerts.

  • To detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, money laundering, and other illegal activity.
  • To comply with legal and regulatory obligations applicable to online gaming platforms.
  • To improve the Sona Bet platform, games, and services based on usage patterns and player feedback.

We do not use your personal data for any purpose that is incompatible with the purposes listed above. If we need to use your data for a new purpose, we will update this policy and notify you before doing so.

04 Legal Basis for Processing

Sona Bet processes your personal data on the following legal grounds, depending on the specific purpose of the processing:

  • Contract performance — processing necessary to provide you with the Sona Bet service you have signed up for, including account management and payment processing.
  • Legal obligation — processing required to comply with applicable laws, including anti-money laundering regulations and age verification requirements.
  • Legitimate interests — processing necessary for fraud prevention, platform security, and improving our services, where these interests are not overridden by your rights.
  • Consent — processing for marketing communications, where you have given us explicit permission to contact you with promotional offers.

Where we rely on consent as the legal basis for processing, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before the withdrawal.

05 Data Sharing

Sona Bet does not sell your personal data to any third party. We may share your data with the following categories of trusted service providers who help us operate the platform, strictly on a need-to-know basis and under binding data protection agreements:

  • Payment processors (bKash, Nagad, Rocket) — to facilitate deposits and withdrawals.
  • Identity verification providers — to confirm your age and identity as required by our terms.
  • Fraud prevention and security services — to protect the platform and all players from fraudulent activity.
  • Customer support software providers — to manage and respond to your support requests.
  • Analytics providers — to understand how the platform is used and improve the player experience.

We may also disclose your personal data to law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, or courts where we are legally required to do so. In all such cases, we will only disclose the minimum data necessary to comply with the legal requirement.

06 Payment Data

When you make a deposit or withdrawal at Sona Bet using bKash, Nagad, or Rocket, your payment is processed through the respective payment provider's secure gateway. Sona Bet does not store your full mobile banking credentials or PIN on our servers at any point.

We retain transaction reference numbers, amounts, timestamps, and the last few digits of your wallet number for account management, dispute resolution, and regulatory compliance purposes. This data is stored securely and is only accessible to authorised Sona Bet staff.

All payment data in transit between your device and our servers is protected by 256-bit SSL encryption. If you believe there has been an unauthorised transaction on your Sona Bet account, contact our support team immediately so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

07 Cookies and Tracking

Sona Bet uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the sona-bet.club platform. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us provide a better experience. Here is how we use them:

  • Essential cookies — required for the platform to function. These keep you logged in and remember your session preferences. They cannot be disabled.
  • Analytics cookies — help us understand which pages and games are most popular, how long players stay on the platform, and where improvements are needed.
  • Preference cookies — remember your language, display settings, and other personalisation choices so you do not have to set them every time you visit.

Sona Bet does not use third-party advertising cookies or track your activity on other websites. You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Note that disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of the Sona Bet platform.

08 Data Retention

Sona Bet retains your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a period after account closure as required by applicable law and our internal data retention policy. The specific retention periods are as follows:

  • Account and identity data — retained for the duration of your account plus 5 years after closure.
  • Transaction and financial data — retained for 7 years from the date of each transaction for regulatory compliance.
  • Support communications — retained for 3 years from the date of the last interaction.
  • Technical and usage data — retained for 12 months on a rolling basis.

After the applicable retention period, your data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked back to you. If you request account deletion, we will delete or anonymise your data as soon as legally permitted.
