To comply with PAGCOR requirements and Philippine AML regulations, pub779 is required to verify the identity of account holders.

2.3 Financial Transaction Data

pub779 records all deposit and withdrawal transactions associated with your account, including transaction amounts, timestamps, payment method identifiers (e.g., masked GCash or Maya account numbers), and transaction reference codes. This data is necessary for account management, fraud prevention, and regulatory reporting.

2.4 Gaming Activity Data

pub779 records your gameplay history, including games played, bet amounts, outcomes, session durations, and bonus participation. This data is used for account management, dispute resolution, responsible gaming monitoring, and regulatory compliance.

When you access pub779.app, we automatically collect certain technical data including your IP address, device type, operating system, browser type and version, session timestamps, and approximate geolocation derived from your IP address. This data is used for security monitoring, fraud detection, and platform optimization.
