Privacy matters at every stage of a betting account journey: when you browse the Chatki Bet website, register, complete identity checks, log in, make a payment, place a bet, or contact support. This Chatki Bet Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, why we use it, and how you can raise a privacy enquiry. It applies to our website, mobile version, app services, account features, betting products, bonuses, payments, customer support channels, and communications with users.
In this policy, “personal data” means information that identifies you or can reasonably be linked to you, such as your contact details, account-holder information, device information, or record of transaction. We aim to collect only the information needed for lawful, operational, security, consumer protection, and regulatory purposes. For privacy questions or requests, please use Contact Us.
Who We Are
Chatki Bet provides online betting and gaming services for eligible adult users in Ethiopia, subject to applicable rules, eligibility requirements, regional restrictions, and the operator’s terms. Information about the service and operator identification is available on our About Us page. Users should verify the current licensing and regulatory status through available official information and the competent authority’s latest guidance. Further information may be available under License & Regulation.
Information We Collect
We receive and record different categories of Chatki Bet player information depending on how you use our services. The information requested should be relevant to the account, payment, security, or compliance requirement involved.
- Account data: name, phone number, email address, date of birth, username, and password-related security information.
- Identity and verification data: identity documents, age-check information, KYC requirements, customer due diligence records, and fraud-prevention information. KYC means “Know Your Customer”: an identity verification process used to confirm that an account holder is eligible to use the service.
- Transaction data: deposit and withdrawal requests, payment authorization details, balance history, transaction limits, payment method information, bonus activity, and records needed to investigate a payment issue.
- Betting and gaming data: bet selections, odds, stakes, results, settlement records, live betting activity, Keno activity, game sessions, and promotion participation.
- Technical data: IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, app version, cookies, login timestamps, and log files used for performance and security monitoring.
- Communication data: emails, support messages, complaints, chat records, and call information where a support channel records it.
- Responsible gaming data: deposit limits, self-exclusion requests, account restrictions, and risk indicators relevant to responsible betting measures.
For example, a withdrawal procedure may require additional account and transaction checks where the payment history, identity information, or account activity needs confirmation. This helps protect both the account holder and the platform from unauthorised payment activity.
How We Use Personal Data
Chatki Bet personal data is processed to create and manage accounts, confirm age eligibility, provide secure access, process deposits and withdrawals, settle bets and winnings, and administer bonuses or promotions. Account information may also be used to send essential service notices, such as a password reset alert, a change to a withdrawal request, or an update affecting account access.
We may examine account, device, betting, and transaction records to detect multiple accounts, suspicious betting patterns, payment abuse, bonus abuse, fraud, or attempts to bypass platform restrictions. Where relevant, this review can include activity connected with sports betting, live markets, Keno, and games. Such controls are intended to support fair use, account security, and compliance requirements rather than to make decisions based on irrelevant personal information.
Information can also help us improve mobile access, website performance, app functions, customer support, and the clarity of service processes. Marketing communications are sent only where allowed and subject to available opt-out or preference controls. We may further process data to meet legal, tax, accounting, anti-money laundering, licensing, dispute-resolution, and regulatory duties under applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations.
Legal Basis / Lawful Reasons
We process betting account data where it is reasonably necessary to provide the requested service, operate the account, protect users and the platform, comply with legal obligations, prevent fraud, resolve complaints, or establish and defend legal claims. In some cases, processing is based on your consent where consent is required, such as certain marketing or optional cookie settings.
The applicable lawful reason may differ by activity. For instance, processing a deposit request may be necessary to provide the payment service, while retaining a record of transaction may be necessary for financial, security, or regulatory reasons. Where the operator provides more specific legal bases, those details should be confirmed through compliance review and applicable notices.
Cookies and Tracking
Cookies are small files placed on a browser or device. Similar technologies may be used to maintain a session, remember preferences, keep an account logged in, identify unusual access attempts, measure website traffic, and improve page performance. On mobile services, certain technical identifiers may serve a similar purpose.
Where permitted, cookies may also support marketing measurement. You can learn more about the categories of technologies used and available choices in our Cookie Policy. Disabling some cookies may affect login continuity, security features, or the availability of selected account functions.
Data Sharing
Chatki Bet does not sell personal data as a product. However, limited information may be shared with contracted third parties where this is necessary to operate the service or satisfy a legal requirement. These parties may include payment processors, identity verification and KYC providers, hosting and cloud infrastructure providers, analytics and security tools, customer support platforms, and professional advisers.
We may also disclose information to regulators, courts, law enforcement bodies, or other competent authorities when required by law, a valid legal process, or an applicable regulatory framework. Third-party access should be limited to the relevant purpose, such as verifying a payment authorization, checking identity information, hosting service data, or investigating suspected fraud.
International Transfers
Some specialist providers may store or process information outside Ethiopia. Where international processing occurs, it must follow applicable legal requirements and suitable safeguards appropriate to the transfer. The location of processing can depend on the provider and service used, so users should not assume that all betting account data is held in one country.
Data Storage and Retention
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for account operation, payment processing, financial records, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, responsible gaming records, legal obligations, and regulatory requirements. Retention periods may therefore differ between account details, identity verification documents, communications, and transaction records.
Closing an account does not always mean that every record can be deleted immediately. Certain information may need to be retained where required for security, accounting, complaint-handling procedure, or compliance reasons. When retention is no longer justified, data should be deleted, anonymised, or otherwise handled in accordance with applicable requirements.
Security Measures
Chatki Bet data protection includes reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to safeguard personal data. These may include encryption where appropriate, access controls, secure login systems, monitoring for unusual activity, staff confidentiality obligations, backups, fraud-detection tools, and internal procedures for handling security incidents.
No online service can promise absolute security. Account holders can reduce avoidable risk by using a unique password, keeping verification codes private, avoiding shared devices where possible, and checking that they are using an official domain before entering account information.
Step 1: Access your account only through the recognised official service channel.
Step 2: Use the Chatki Bet login page and do not share your password or one-time code with another person.
Step 3: If you notice unfamiliar activity, change your password and contact support promptly.
User Rights
Subject to applicable data protection laws, you may have the right to request access to your personal data, ask for inaccurate information to be corrected, request deletion or restriction in appropriate circumstances, object to certain processing, or request information about how your data is handled. You may also withdraw consent where processing relies on consent, without affecting processing that occurred before withdrawal.
Some requests may be limited if Chatki Bet must keep information for legal, financial, security, fraud-prevention, or regulatory reasons. To make a request, provide enough account details for us to identify the request safely, but do not send unnecessary sensitive information through an unsecured channel. Submit your request through Contact Us.
Age Restrictions and Children’s Data
Chatki Bet services are intended only for eligible adult users. We do not knowingly seek to collect personal data from underage persons. Age checks and identity verification may be used to support age restriction requirements. If a parent, guardian, or user believes that an underage person has submitted information, they should contact support without delay. Please review the Age Restriction Policy.
Responsible Gaming and Account Restrictions
Responsible betting measures may require us to process activity records, account limits, self-exclusion requests, risk indicators, and restriction decisions. For example, an account holder’s request to set a deposit limit or pause access must be recorded so that the control can be applied consistently across relevant services.
These records may be retained where necessary to protect the user, apply platform rules, and meet compliance requirements. More information about available safeguards and user responsibilities is provided under Responsible Gaming.
Terms, Bonuses, and Payments
This policy operates alongside our Terms and Conditions, payment checks, anti-fraud controls, and relevant promotion rules. Before accepting a Chatki Bet bonus code, users should review the applicable conditions, including eligibility, wagering requirements, limits, and any verification needed before a withdrawal is processed.
Betting records may be needed to provide and settle services such as Chatki Bet sport betting, Chatki Bet live, Chatki Bet keno, and Chatki Bet games. A practical check before registration is to read the terms, confirm the official communication channel, understand disclosed fees and limits, and prepare only the identity information that may be required for KYC.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when our services, security practices, applicable laws, provider arrangements, or data processing activities change. The current version published on this page applies from the time it is made available. We encourage users to review this policy periodically, particularly before submitting verification documents, changing payment details, or using a new Chatki Bet service.
