1 Who We Are
This Privacy Policy applies to hot77.biz — the online gaming and casino platform operated under the Hot77 brand. Hot77 is the data controller responsible for the personal information you provide when registering and using our platform.
When this policy says "Hot77", "we", "us" or "our", it refers to the operating entity behind hot77.biz. When it says "you" or "your", it refers to any person who accesses, registers with or places bets on the Hot77 platform.
Hot77 serves Pakistani players and specifically processes personal data and financial transactions in Pakistani Rupees (PKR). The privacy practices described in this document reflect our commitment to treating player data with the same respect and care we give to their gaming experience on Hot77.
This Privacy Policy should be read alongside the Hot77 Terms and Conditions and Responsible Gaming Policy. Together these three documents form the complete framework governing your relationship with Hot77.
2 Information We Collect
Hot77 collects personal information from you in several ways — directly when you register or contact us, automatically when you use the platform, and occasionally from third parties involved in identity verification or payment processing. Here is a breakdown of the categories of data we collect:
Information you provide directly to Hot77:
- Registration data: Your full name, date of birth, Pakistani mobile number and chosen username when you create your Hot77 account.
- Verification documents: Where identity verification is required — for example, before processing large withdrawals — we may collect copies of government-issued ID such as your CNIC, and proof of address or source of funds.
- Payment information: Details needed to process deposits and withdrawals — such as your Easypaisa or JazzCash account number, IBFT bank details or masked card details. Hot77 never stores full card numbers or mobile wallet PINs.
- Communications: Any messages you send to Hot77 support via live chat, email or WhatsApp, including the content of those messages and any attachments you share.
- Responsible gaming preferences: If you set deposit limits, session alerts, cool-off periods or self-exclusion on Hot77, these preferences are stored and actively applied to your account.
Information collected automatically when you use Hot77:
- Device and access data: IP address, device type, operating system, browser type and version, mobile carrier (where applicable) and screen resolution.
- Usage data: Pages visited on hot77.biz, games played, session duration, clicks, navigation patterns and features used.
- Transaction data: Full history of deposits, withdrawals, bets placed, game results and bonus activity on your Hot77 account.
- Location data: General geographic location inferred from your IP address. Hot77 does not collect precise GPS location.
- Cookie and tracking data: As described in the Cookies section of this policy.
Hot77 does not collect sensitive personal data such as biometric information, health records or religious beliefs. The data we collect is limited to what is genuinely necessary to provide and improve our services to Pakistani players.
3 How We Use Your Personal Data
Every piece of personal data Hot77 collects is used for a specific, defined purpose. We do not use your data in ways that would surprise you or that go beyond what is necessary to run the platform and keep it safe. Here is a complete list of how Hot77 uses your information:
| Purpose | Data Used |
|---|---|
| Creating and managing your Hot77 account | Name, mobile number, date of birth, username |
| Processing deposits and withdrawals in PKR | Payment details, transaction history |
| Verifying your identity as required | CNIC, proof of address, source of funds |
| Detecting and preventing fraud and abuse | IP address, device data, transaction patterns |
| Providing 24/7 customer support on Hot77 | Account details, communication history |
| Sending account and transaction notifications | Mobile number, email where provided |
| Sending promotional communications (opt-in only) | Mobile number, communication preferences |
| Improving Hot77 products and user experience | Usage data, gameplay patterns (anonymised) |
| Responsible gaming monitoring and tools | Gameplay activity, self-set limits and flags |
| Meeting legal and regulatory obligations | Identity data, financial records |
Hot77 does not use personal data for automated decision-making that produces legal effects without any human review. If an account is flagged for fraud or bonus abuse, a human member of the Hot77 compliance team reviews the case before any action is taken.
4 Legal Basis for Processing
Hot77 processes your personal data under one or more of the following legal bases, depending on the specific purpose:
- Contractual necessity: Processing required to fulfil the agreement between you and Hot77 — including operating your account, processing transactions and providing support.
- Legal obligation: Processing required to comply with applicable laws — including identity verification requirements, anti-money-laundering obligations and record-keeping rules.
- Legitimate interests: Processing carried out for Hot77's genuine business interests where those interests are not overridden by your privacy rights — including fraud prevention, platform security and product improvement using anonymised data.
- Consent: Processing carried out based on your explicit, opt-in consent — primarily for promotional and marketing communications. You may withdraw consent at any time from your account settings.
You can withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time without affecting the other services Hot77 provides to you. Updating your preferences takes effect immediately in your account settings.
5 Sharing Your Personal Data
Hot77 does not sell, rent or trade your personal information to any third party. The only organisations that receive your data are those directly involved in operating Hot77's services for you, and only the data they specifically require:
- Payment processors: Easypaisa, JazzCash, NayaPay, SadaPay, bank IBFT networks and Visa/Mastercard processing partners receive the payment details necessary to complete your PKR transactions. They operate under their own privacy and security frameworks.
- Identity verification services: When verification is required, specialist KYC (Know Your Customer) services may receive copies of your identification documents to confirm your identity on Hot77's behalf.
- Fraud prevention and security services: Aggregated and anonymised transaction patterns may be shared with fraud detection services to protect Hot77 players and the platform.
- Technology infrastructure providers: Cloud hosting, database management and platform maintenance providers who operate under strict data processing agreements with Hot77.
- Regulatory and law enforcement authorities: Where required by law or court order, Hot77 may be obligated to disclose specific player data to relevant authorities. Hot77 will inform affected players where legally permitted to do so.
All third parties who receive personal data from Hot77 are contractually required to use it only for the specific purpose for which it was shared, to maintain appropriate security standards and not to further share that data without authorisation.
6 Data Retention
Hot77 retains personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose it was collected for, plus any additional period required by law or legitimate business need. Here is an overview of our standard retention periods:
When data reaches the end of its retention period, Hot77 either permanently deletes it from all systems or anonymises it so that it can no longer be linked to you as an individual. Anonymised data may be retained for statistical analysis and platform improvement purposes.
Legal obligations mean Hot77 cannot immediately delete all data upon request. Financial records related to your account must be retained for a minimum period as required by applicable law. Where deletion is not immediately possible, Hot77 will inform you of the applicable retention period when you make a deletion request.
7 Data Security
Protecting your personal and financial data is a core operational priority for Hot77 — not an afterthought. The platform implements a layered security approach that covers both technical and organisational measures:
- Transport encryption: All data transmitted between your device and hot77.biz is encrypted using 256-bit SSL/TLS. The padlock in your browser's address bar confirms this is active on every page.
- Storage security: Personal data is stored in encrypted databases with access restricted to authorised Hot77 personnel only. Database access requires multi-factor authentication.
- Payment security: Hot77 never stores full payment instrument details on its own servers. Card and mobile wallet transactions are tokenised through our payment processing partners' certified infrastructure.
- Access controls: Hot77 staff access to personal data is role-based and limited to the minimum required to perform their job function. All access to sensitive data is logged and audited regularly.
- Penetration testing: Hot77's platform undergoes regular independent security testing to identify and remediate vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
- Incident response: In the event of a data security incident that affects your personal information, Hot77 will notify you within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach and outline the steps being taken.
No online platform can guarantee 100% security against all possible threats — that would be dishonest to claim. What Hot77 can guarantee is that we apply industry best practices consistently and take all reasonable steps to protect your data at every layer of our system.
8 Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Hot77 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on hot77.biz. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website to enable certain functionality and to collect usage information. Here is what we use them for:
- Essential cookies: Required for hot77.biz to function. These keep you logged in, maintain your session state, remember your language preferences and allow features like the game lobby to work correctly. These cookies cannot be disabled without breaking the platform.
- Functional cookies: Remember choices you have made on Hot77 — such as your preferred game view or display settings — so you don't have to reconfigure them on every visit.
- Analytics cookies: Help Hot77 understand how players use the platform — which pages are visited most, where users spend time and where they encounter problems. This data is aggregated and anonymised. It is used only to improve Hot77's products and user experience.
- Fraud prevention cookies: Used to identify unusual patterns that may indicate fraudulent activity, helping to protect all Hot77 players and the integrity of the platform.
Hot77 does not use third-party advertising or retargeting cookies. You will not be tracked across other websites by Hot77 for advertising purposes.
You can manage cookie settings through your browser settings at any time. Note that disabling essential cookies will affect your ability to use hot77.biz — for example, you will not be able to stay logged in.

10 Children's Privacy
Hot77 is strictly an adult platform. No person under the age of 18 is permitted to register, deposit or play on hot77.biz under any circumstances. Hot77 does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18 years of age.
If Hot77 discovers or is informed that a minor has registered and used the platform, the account will be immediately closed, all associated data will be deleted to the extent legally possible and any funds deposited by the minor will be returned to their original payment source following investigation.
Parents and guardians who believe a minor may have accessed Hot77 are encouraged to contact our support team at support@hot77.biz immediately. Hot77 will prioritise these reports and respond within 24 hours.

11 Responsible Gaming and Your Data
Hot77's responsible gaming tools — deposit limits, session alerts, cool-off periods and self-exclusion — depend on accurate data about your account activity. The personal data collected about your gameplay on Hot77 is therefore also used to power these protective features.
Specifically, Hot77 uses gameplay activity data to:
- Monitor whether you are approaching limits you have set yourself and apply those limits automatically.
- Identify patterns of play that may indicate a problem — such as increasing deposit frequency, declining withdrawal-to-deposit ratios or extended session durations without breaks.
- Deliver responsible gaming prompts at appropriate moments within the platform.
- Maintain self-exclusion records for the full duration of any exclusion period you have requested.
This data is used only for your protection. It is not shared with third parties for any commercial purpose and is not used to target you with promotional content.
