1. Introduction
Welcome to LuckyMax, the Philippines' go-to online gaming platform for sports betting, Tongits, Sabong, PBA betting, jackpot slots, bingo, and virtual sports. This LuckyMax Privacy Policy governs how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard the personal data of our players and website visitors. By creating an account or using any part of our platform at luckymax.best, you agree to the practices described in this LuckyMax Privacy Policy.
We want every Kabayan to feel confident when they play with us. That means being upfront about our data practices — no vague language, no corporate doublespeak. If anything here is unclear, our support team is always ready to help you understand your rights.
2. Information We Collect
LuckyMax collects personal information in several ways. The types of data we gather depend on how you interact with our platform. Here's a breakdown of what we collect and why:
- Account Registration Data: Full name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, and a government-issued ID (for KYC/AML compliance required by PAGCOR). This data lets us verify your identity, prevent underage gambling, and keep your account secure.
- Financial Information: Payment method details (GCash number, Maya account, Coins.ph ID, BDO/BPI/UnionBank account, Visa/Mastercard details), deposit and withdrawal history. We need this to process your transactions safely and accurately.
- Usage Data: Pages visited, games played, session duration, device type, IP address, browser type, and clickstream data. This helps us improve the platform, troubleshoot issues, and personalise your LuckyMax experience.
- Communications: Messages you send to customer support, chat logs, and survey responses. We store these to resolve issues and improve our service quality.
- Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use session cookies, persistent cookies, and similar technologies to keep you logged in, remember preferences, and gather aggregate analytics. See Section 9 for full cookie details.
We do not collect sensitive personal information such as biometric data, racial or ethnic origin, or political beliefs unless explicitly required by law.
3. How We Use Your Information
The personal data you provide to LuckyMax is used solely for the following purposes:
- Creating and managing your LuckyMax account
- Processing deposits and withdrawals through GCash, Maya, GrabPay, InstaPay/PESONet, and other local payment methods
- Verifying your identity as required under PAGCOR regulations and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) obligations
- Delivering customer support and resolving account issues
- Sending important account notifications, security alerts, and promotional offers you have opted into
- Conducting fraud prevention and detecting suspicious activity to keep our platform safe
- Personalising game recommendations and bonus offers based on your play history
- Improving our website, apps, and overall LuckyMax player experience through analytics
- Complying with legal obligations under Philippine law, including the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and PAGCOR licensing requirements
We will never use your data for purposes beyond what is listed above without obtaining your prior consent.
4. How We Share Your Information
LuckyMax takes a strict stance on data sharing. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third-party advertisers or data brokers. The only circumstances under which we disclose your data to outside parties are:
- Service Providers: Trusted partners who assist us in operating the platform — such as payment processors (GCash, Maya, BancNet), KYC verification providers, cloud hosting services, and analytics tools. These partners are contractually bound to keep your data confidential and only use it for the specific service they provide to LuckyMax.
- Legal and Regulatory Authorities: When required by Philippine law, court order, PAGCOR regulation, or AMLC (Anti-Money Laundering Council) reporting obligations, we may disclose relevant data to government authorities.
- Business Transfers: In the unlikely event that LuckyMax undergoes a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your data may be transferred to the new entity. We will notify you before that happens and give you the option to opt out.
- Fraud and Security: If we detect fraudulent activity or a serious security threat, we may share relevant data with law enforcement or other platforms to prevent harm.
In all cases, we only share the minimum amount of data necessary for the specific purpose, consistent with the principles of the Data Privacy Act of 2012.
5. Data Security
Keeping your personal data safe is a top priority at LuckyMax. We implement a multi-layered security approach that includes:
- TLS/SSL encryption for all data transmitted between your device and our servers
- AES-256 encryption for sensitive data stored in our databases
- Two-factor authentication (2FA) options available for all player accounts
- Regular security audits and penetration testing by independent cybersecurity firms
- Strict internal access controls — only authorised personnel can access player data, and all access is logged
- 24/7 monitoring for suspicious login attempts, unusual transactions, and data breach indicators
While no system can guarantee 100% security, we are committed to following best practices and continually upgrading our defences to protect every LuckyMax player's information.
6. Your Rights Under the Data Privacy Act
As a registered player with LuckyMax and a citizen or resident of the Philippines, you are protected by the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173). This law grants you the following rights with respect to your personal data:

- Right to Rectification: If any of your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you can ask us to correct it.
- Right to Erasure / Right to be Forgotten: You may request that LuckyMax delete your personal data, subject to legal retention obligations (e.g., financial records required for AML compliance).
- Right to Data Portability: You can request that your data be provided in a structured, machine-readable format so you can transfer it to another platform.
- Right to Object: You have the right to object to certain types of data processing, such as direct marketing communications.

7. Data Retention
LuckyMax retains your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this privacy policy, or as required by Philippine law. Our general retention schedule is as follows:
- Account and KYC Data: Retained for the duration of your active account, plus five (5) years after account closure, in compliance with PAGCOR and AMLC regulations.
- Transaction Records: Retained for at least five (5) years as required by the Anti-Money Laundering Act.
- Support Communications: Retained for two (2) years after the ticket is closed.
- Marketing Preferences: Retained until you opt out or request deletion.
- Website Analytics Data: Aggregated, anonymised data may be retained indefinitely. Individual-level data is deleted after 24 months.
Once the retention period expires, data is securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with our data destruction policy.
8. Cross-Border Data Transfers
LuckyMax primarily processes and stores data on servers located in the Philippines and within the Asia-Pacific region. In certain cases, your data may be processed by our service providers in other countries (for example, cloud storage providers with data centres outside the Philippines). When this occurs, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place — such as standard contractual clauses and data processing agreements — to protect your information in line with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and the standards set by the National Privacy Commission.
9. Cookies Policy
LuckyMax uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to make the website work properly and to understand how players use our platform. Here's what you need to know:
- Essential Cookies: Required for core functions like login sessions and payment processing. You cannot opt out of these without disabling basic site functionality.
- Performance Cookies: Help us understand how players navigate the LuckyMax site — which pages are popular, where errors occur, and how load times can be improved.
- Functional Cookies: Remember your preferences, like language settings and saved payment methods, so you don't have to re-enter them each visit.
- Analytics Cookies: Used by tools like Google Analytics (configured with IP anonymisation) to gather aggregate data about site usage. No personally identifiable information is stored.
You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings at any time. Disabling non-essential cookies will not prevent you from using LuckyMax, though some features may behave differently.
10. Marketing Communications
With your consent, LuckyMax may send you promotional emails, SMS notifications, and in-app messages about new games, bonuses, and special offers — including exclusive deals for Filipino players. If you no longer want to receive marketing messages, you can:
- Click the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any promotional email
- Update your notification preferences in your LuckyMax account settings
- Contact our support team directly to opt out
Please note that even if you opt out of marketing messages, we will still send you important account and security notifications that are necessary for the operation of your LuckyMax account.
11. Minors
LuckyMax is strictly for adults aged 21 and above, in accordance with PAGCOR regulations. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 21. If we discover that a minor has provided us with personal data, we will immediately delete that information and close the account. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has created a LuckyMax account, please contact us immediately at privacy@luckymax.best.
12. Changes to This Privacy Policy
LuckyMax may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or platform features. When we make significant changes, we will notify you via email and a prominent notice on the LuckyMax website at least 14 days before the changes take effect. We encourage you to review this page regularly to stay informed about how we protect your data.
Your continued use of LuckyMax after a policy update means you accept the revised terms. If you disagree with any changes, you may close your account and request data deletion as described in Section 6.
