Cookies & Tracking Technologies
pkww uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the Platform effectively and to improve your experience. The following categories of cookies are used:
- Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are essential for the Platform to function. They enable core features such as session management, secure login authentication, and bet slip functionality. These cookies cannot be disabled without severely impairing your ability to use the Platform.
- Functional cookies: These cookies remember your preferences — such as your language settings and last-visited game categories — to provide a more personalised experience on return visits. They do not track your activity across other websites.
- Analytics cookies: pkww uses first-party analytics tools to collect aggregated, anonymised data about how players navigate and use the Platform. This data is used to identify popular features, diagnose technical problems, and improve overall Platform performance. No personally identifiable information is contained in analytics cookie data.
- Security cookies: Short-lived cookies used to detect and prevent fraudulent access attempts, credential stuffing, and other automated threats to Account security.
You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will affect Platform functionality and may prevent you from accessing certain features, including your Account.
pkww does not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site behavioural tracking cookies. No player data is shared with advertising networks for the purpose of targeted advertising.
Data Security
pkww takes the security of your personal data seriously and has implemented a range of technical and organisational measures designed to protect your information against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include:
- 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption on all data in transit between your device and pkww's servers.
- Encrypted storage of sensitive Account data, including password hashes (stored using bcrypt or equivalent one-way hashing algorithms) and KYC document files.
- Role-based access controls limiting internal access to personal data to authorised personnel whose job functions require it.
- Regular security assessments including vulnerability scans and penetration testing of the Platform infrastructure.
- Multi-factor authentication options available to players for Account login security.
- Automated fraud and intrusion detection systems that monitor for unusual access patterns and trigger security alerts in real time.
Despite these measures, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure. pkww cannot guarantee absolute security of data transmitted to or from the Platform, and players accept this inherent risk when using any online service. In the event of a data security incident that is likely to result in a risk to player rights or freedoms, pkww will notify affected players without undue delay and will take immediate steps to contain and remediate the incident.

Your Privacy Rights
As a player on the pkww Platform, you hold the following rights in relation to your personal data. pkww will respond to all valid rights requests within a reasonable timeframe and without charge in normal circumstances:
To exercise any of these rights, please contact the pkww support team via live chat or email at [email protected]. Please include your Account username and a clear description of the right you wish to exercise. pkww may ask you to verify your identity before processing the request.
Please note that certain rights are subject to limitations and exceptions where pkww has overriding legitimate interests or legal obligations that require continued processing. pkww will always explain the reason if it is unable to fulfil a rights request in full.
Children and Minors
The pkww Platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 years and above. pkww does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. All registration applications are subject to age verification as part of the KYC process, and accounts found to belong to underage individuals will be immediately closed with all funds returned to the verified payment source.
If you believe that a minor has registered an Account on the pkww Platform or has provided personal data without the knowledge of a parent or guardian, please contact pkww support immediately at [email protected]. pkww will investigate and take appropriate action without delay.
Parents and guardians concerned about underage access to online gambling platforms are encouraged to make use of parental control software and to review the resources available on the pkww Responsible Gaming page.
Third-Party Links
The pkww Platform may contain references to or integrations with third-party services, including payment providers and game suppliers. Where you interact with a third-party service in connection with your use of pkww — such as initiating a bKash transaction or launching a game powered by Evolution Gaming — that third party will process certain data in accordance with its own privacy policy, over which pkww has no control.
pkww is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services and encourages you to review the relevant privacy policies of any third-party provider you interact with. The inclusion of a third-party service on the pkww Platform does not constitute an endorsement of that provider's data handling practices.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
pkww reserves the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in applicable law, Platform operations, or data processing practices. The date of the most recent revision is displayed at the top of this document.
Where changes to this Policy are material — meaning they significantly affect your rights or the way pkww uses your personal data — pkww will provide advance notice via a prominent notice on the Platform, or by direct communication to your registered mobile number or email address where practicable.
Your continued use of the pkww Platform following any update to this Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy. If you do not agree with any changes, you should discontinue use of the Platform and may request Account closure in accordance with the procedure described in the Terms & Conditions.
