6Cookies & Tracking Technologies

The bet9ja Platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the Platform, analyse usage, and where consent has been given, to deliver relevant promotional content.

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Required for core Platform functions including login session management, security tokens, and shopping cart equivalents (bet slip). These cannot be disabled without breaking Platform functionality.
• Performance & Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how users navigate the Platform, which pages are most visited, and where technical errors occur. Used in aggregate and anonymised form.
• Functional Cookies: Store your preferences such as language settings, preferred payment method and notification choices to improve your experience.
• Marketing Cookies: Used only where you have given consent. May be used to show relevant bet9ja promotional content. You may withdraw consent via your account's cookie preferences at any time.

You can manage cookie preferences through your bet9ja account settings or through your browser settings. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will impair your ability to use the Platform.

7Data Retention

bet9ja retains personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including the satisfaction of legal, regulatory, accounting and reporting obligations. Specific retention periods are as follows:

• Account registration and identity data is retained for the duration of your account and for a minimum of five (5) years following account closure, in compliance with AML record-keeping requirements.
• Transaction and betting records are retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of each transaction.
• Customer support communications are retained for three (3) years from the date of each interaction.
• Marketing consent records are retained until you withdraw consent and for a reasonable period thereafter to evidence that consent was validly obtained.
• Technical and usage data retained for analytical purposes is anonymised within thirteen (13) months.

Following the expiry of applicable retention periods, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised in a manner that prevents reconstruction of your identity.

8Data Security

bet9ja implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, disclosure or destruction. These measures include:

• Transport Layer Security (TLS/HTTPS) encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and the Platform;
• Encryption at rest for databases containing personal and financial data;
• Role-based access controls limiting employee access to personal data on a strict need-to-know basis;
• Regular security audits, vulnerability assessments and penetration testing;
• Multi-factor authentication for administrative access to data systems;
• Incident response procedures for detecting, responding to and notifying affected parties of data security incidents.

While bet9ja takes all reasonable precautions to protect your data, no internet transmission or electronic storage system is entirely immune from risk. You are responsible for keeping your own login credentials confidential.
