Introduction & Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to 18500 (www.18500.ws) and its mobile application. By using any 18500 service, you agree to the terms set out in this policy.

We understand how valuable your personal information is to you. That's why 18500 has been built on a "Privacy First" principle from day one — the security of your data is our top priority in every technical decision we make.

This policy is written entirely in English to ensure every user in Bangladesh can understand it clearly. If any part is unclear, please reach out to us at support@18500.ws.

What Data We Collect

18500 collects three types of data. The purpose of each type is clearly explained below:

A) Information You Provide Directly

  • At registration: Name, mobile number, email address (optional), date of birth.
  • For Identity Verification: NID/passport number and photo (only when required).
  • For Payments: Mobile banking number — card or bank account numbers are never stored.
  • When contacting support: Your submitted messages and complaints.

B) Automatically Collected Information

  • Device Information: Phone model, operating system, and browser version.
  • Usage Data: Which pages you visited and for how long, and which betting markets you accessed.
  • IP address: For fraud detection and security purposes.
  • Log Data: Login times and failed login attempts.

C) Data Received from Third Parties

During payment processing, transaction confirmation details are received from bKash or Nagad solely to verify the validity of the transaction.

18500 never stores your bKash or Nagad PIN, bank password, or full card number. If anyone asks you for this information, it is fraud.

How Your Information Is Used

Data collected is used solely for the following purposes:

Data Type Purpose of Use Legal Basis
Mobile Number OTP verification, support communications Contract fulfilment
Date of Birth Age (18+) Verification Legal Obligation
Payment Number Deposit & Withdrawal Processing Contract fulfilment

Your data is never shared with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes. 18500 may occasionally send you SMS updates about new offers — contact support anytime to opt out.

Who Your Data Is Shared With

18500 strictly limits data sharing. Your information is not shared with anyone except in the following circumstances:

  • Identity Verification Services: Verification agencies for the KYC (Know Your Customer) process — only when required.
  • Legal authority: We are required to disclose data when mandated by a court order or legal obligation.

18500 never shares your data with advertising companies, data brokers, or other betting platforms. That is our commitment.

How Long We Retain Your Data

18500 does not retain data longer than necessary. Retention periods vary depending on the type of information:

Child & Minor Protection

18500 is strictly off-limits to anyone under 18. We never knowingly collect personal data from minors.

If a parent or guardian believes their child has used or is using our platform, please contact support@18500.ws immediately. We will close the account and permanently delete all associated data.

Date of birth verification is mandatory at registration. Providing a false date of birth violates our Terms & Conditions and will result in account closure.

  • The "Last Updated" date at the top of the page will be changed accordingly.

Your Privacy Questions Answered

Never. 18500 does not store any mobile banking passwords, PINs, or card numbers. Only your mobile number is retained for transaction verification. If anyone claims to be from 18500 and asks for this information, it is a scam.

No. 18500 does not share your personal data with any ad networks or marketing companies. We only reach out to you through our own platform, and you can opt out of that too.

Most data is deleted upon account closure. However, financial transaction records must be retained for 7 years due to legal obligations. Once your account is closed, your data will not be used for any further activity.

Sensitive data is stored in encrypted form, so even in the event of a breach, it cannot be read directly. Should a breach occur, we will notify all affected members within 72 hours and take the necessary steps.
