At a177, your personal data is treated with the same seriousness as your account funds. This Privacy Policy explains in plain, straightforward terms exactly what information a177 collects, why we collect it, how it is stored and protected, who it is shared with, and what rights you hold as a member. We encourage every Pakistani and international a177 member to read this document in full.
Six commitments a177 makes to every member regarding their personal information — from the moment you register to every transaction you make on the platform.
Every data transmission between your device and the a177 platform is protected by 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption. Whether you are logging in from Karachi on a Jazz 4G connection or depositing via JazzCash from Lahore, your credentials and financial data travel through an encrypted tunnel that is computationally infeasible to intercept.
a177 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party marketers under any circumstances. Your email address, phone number, and payment details are used solely for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy — primarily platform operation, KYC compliance, and relevant promotional communications you have opted into.
Personal data, financial records, and gaming history are stored in logically segregated databases with distinct access controls. No single system component has unrestricted access to the full data profile of any member. Access by a177 staff is role-based and logged with full audit trails retained for a minimum of five years.
a177 only collects data that is strictly necessary for platform operation, regulatory compliance, and service improvement. We do not collect information beyond what is listed in this Privacy Policy. If the purpose for which a data category was collected ceases to apply, that data is scheduled for deletion in accordance with our retention schedule.
You hold meaningful rights over your a177 data: the right to access a copy of your profile, the right to correct inaccuracies, the right to request deletion where legally permissible, and the right to withdraw marketing consent at any time. All requests are handled within 30 calendar days through a177 customer support.
a177 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies solely to maintain session continuity, detect fraud, and measure platform performance. We do not deploy third-party advertising cookies that follow you across the web. A full breakdown of the cookies a177 uses, their purpose, and their retention period is provided in the Cookies section of this policy.
a177 ("we", "our", "the Platform") is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of every member who registers and uses the a177 online casino and sports betting platform at a177.ws. This Privacy Policy ("Policy") sets out in full detail how a177 collects, processes, stores, shares, and protects personal data in connection with your use of the Platform.
This Policy applies to all members, including Pakistani players across Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Faisalabad, and all other regions, as well as eligible international members. By registering an account on a177, you confirm that you have read and understood this Policy and that you consent to the processing of your personal data as described herein. If you do not agree with any part of this Policy, you must not register or continue using the Platform.
Note: This Privacy Policy is incorporated by reference into the a177 Terms & Conditions. Reading both documents together gives you a complete picture of your rights and obligations as an a177 member.
For the purposes of applicable data protection legislation, a177 acts as the data controller in respect of all personal data collected through the Platform. As data controller, a177 determines the purposes and means by which your personal data is processed.
All data protection enquiries, subject access requests, and complaints should be directed to the a177 Data Protection contact detailed in Section 15 of this Policy. a177 will respond to all formal data protection requests within 30 calendar days of receipt.
When you create an a177 account, we collect the information you provide during the registration process, including your full legal name, date of birth, residential address, email address, and mobile phone number. This data is mandatory — without it, we cannot create or verify your account.
To comply with our international gaming licence and anti-money laundering obligations, a177 collects identity verification documents including copies of government-issued photo identification (CNIC, passport, or driving licence), proof of residential address, and proof of payment method ownership. These documents are processed through our secure KYC system and are stored in an encrypted, access-controlled environment.
a177 collects transaction records associated with your account, including deposit amounts, withdrawal requests, payment method identifiers (such as JazzCash wallet numbers, EasyPaisa account references, bank account details for HBL, UBL, or Meezan Bank, SadaPay handles, and USDT TRC20 wallet addresses), and transaction timestamps. Full payment card numbers are never stored on a177 servers.
a177 records your gaming and betting activity on the Platform, including game sessions played, bets placed, wagers, wins, losses, and session durations. This data is used for account management, responsible gaming monitoring, bonus eligibility verification, and dispute resolution.
When you access a177, our systems automatically collect technical data including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type, screen resolution, referring URL, and session timestamps. This data is used for fraud detection, security monitoring, and platform performance optimisation.
If you contact a177 via live chat, email, or any other channel, we retain records of those communications for customer service quality assurance, dispute resolution, and regulatory compliance purposes.
What We Do Not Collect: a177 does not collect sensitive personal data categories such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, health data (except as relevant to responsible gaming self-disclosure), or biometric data beyond what is contained in KYC identification documents.
a177 uses the personal data we collect for the following specific purposes:
| Purpose | Data Categories Used | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Account creation & management | Registration data, KYC data | Contract performance |
| Payment processing | Financial data, KYC data | Contract performance |
| Identity & age verification | KYC data, registration data | Legal obligation |
| Fraud & AML monitoring | Financial data, technical data, gaming data | Legal obligation |
| Responsible gaming compliance | Gaming data, registration data | Legal obligation |
| Customer support | Communications data, account data | Contract performance |
| Platform security & performance | Technical data, device data | Legitimate interest |
| Promotional communications | Registration data, gaming data | Consent |
| Legal & regulatory compliance | All categories as required | Legal obligation |
a177 does not use your personal data for automated individual decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects without human review. Where automated systems flag an account for investigation (for example, due to AML triggers), the final decision is always reviewed by a qualified a177 compliance team member.
a177 processes personal data only where a valid legal basis exists. The primary legal bases relied upon are as follows:
To facilitate deposits and withdrawals, a177 shares necessary financial data with our approved payment processing partners, including JazzCash, EasyPaisa, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, SadaPay, and USDT network infrastructure providers. Each payment partner processes data only to the extent necessary to complete the specific transaction and is contractually bound to data protection standards consistent with this Policy.
a177 uses accredited third-party identity verification services to process KYC documents. These providers act as data processors under our instruction and are bound by strict data processing agreements. KYC documents are processed solely for identity and age verification and are not used for any other commercial purpose by those providers.
The game providers whose titles appear on a177 may receive anonymised session and technical data necessary for game delivery and RNG certification. No personally identifiable information is shared with game providers beyond what is technically required to deliver a specific gaming session.
a177 may disclose personal data to relevant regulatory bodies, licensing authorities, or law enforcement agencies where required by applicable law, a valid court order, or where we are obligated to do so under our gaming licence conditions. We will inform affected members of such disclosures where we are legally permitted to do so.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of a177's business, member personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction. a177 will notify affected members via email prior to any such transfer and will ensure that the acquiring entity is bound by privacy obligations at least equivalent to those in this Policy.
No Sale of Data: a177 does not sell, rent, or trade personal data to third-party advertisers, data brokers, or any other commercial entity for their independent marketing purposes. This prohibition applies without exception.
As an internationally licensed gaming platform, a177 may process and store data on servers located outside Pakistan. Where personal data is transferred to jurisdictions that do not provide a level of data protection equivalent to applicable standards, a177 implements appropriate safeguards including standard contractual clauses, binding corporate rules, or other recognised transfer mechanisms to ensure your data remains protected to the standards described in this Policy.
By registering on a177, you acknowledge and consent to the international transfer of your personal data as described in this section, subject to the safeguards stated herein.
a177 retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law and regulatory obligations. Our general retention schedule is as follows:
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be attributed to any identifiable individual.
a177 implements a layered security architecture to protect personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our technical and organisational security measures include:
In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to member rights, a177 will notify the relevant regulatory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach and will communicate directly with affected members where required.
Your Role in Security: Keeping your a177 account credentials confidential is equally important. a177 will never ask for your password by email or live chat. Enable two-factor authentication from your account settings for an additional layer of protection.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a177. They allow the Platform to recognise your device across sessions, maintain login state, and collect analytical data about how the Platform is used. a177 also uses similar technologies such as local storage objects and session tokens for equivalent purposes.
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Essential / Session | Maintain login state, load balancing, CSRF protection | Session / 24 hours |
| Functional | Remember language, game preferences, responsible gaming settings | 30 days |
| Analytics | Measure page performance, feature usage, and navigation flows | 12 months |
| Security / Fraud | Device fingerprinting for fraud detection and AML monitoring | 6 months |
You can manage or disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings at any time. Note that disabling essential cookies will impair core Platform functionality including login and payment processing. a177 does not deploy third-party advertising or retargeting cookies.
As an a177 member, you hold the following rights in respect of your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, contact a177 support with the subject line "Data Rights Request". a177 will respond within 30 calendar days:
Please Note: Some rights, particularly the right to erasure, may be limited where a177 is required by law to retain your data — for example, AML record-keeping obligations that apply to all licensed gaming operators. a177 will explain any such limitation clearly in our response to your request.
The a177 Platform is strictly restricted to individuals who are 21 years of age or older. a177 does not knowingly collect personal data from persons under the age of 21. Where a177 discovers that a registered account belongs to a person under 21, that account will be immediately suspended, the matter investigated, and any deposits refunded to the original payment source. KYC verification is applied precisely to enforce this age restriction.
If you have reason to believe that a minor has registered on a177, please notify us immediately at [email protected] so that we can take prompt action.
With your explicit consent at registration or via your account notification settings, a177 may send you promotional communications about new games, bonuses, PSL betting markets, tournaments, and other a177 offers by email or SMS. These communications are sent only to the contact details you registered with a177.
You may opt out of marketing communications at any time by:
Opting out of marketing communications does not affect transactional messages such as deposit confirmations, withdrawal notifications, and security alerts, which are sent regardless of marketing preferences as they relate directly to your account.
a177 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable law, or regulatory requirements. Where material changes are made, a177 will notify registered members by email to the address on file at least 14 days before the amended Policy takes effect, and will post a prominent notice on the Platform.
The version number and effective date at the top of this Policy will always reflect the current version. Continued use of the a177 Platform after the effective date of any amended Policy constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. The most current version of this Policy is always available at a177.ws/privacy-policy.

If you are not satisfied with a177's response to a data protection complaint, you have the right to escalate the matter to the relevant supervisory authority or to the dispute resolution body designated by a177's international gaming licence.
