Minors & Age Verification Policy
otso888 strictly complies with PAGCOR's minimum age requirement of 21 years old for online gaming in the Philippines. The platform is not directed at, and does not knowingly collect personal data from, any individual under the age of 21.
All new registrations are subject to mandatory age verification through our KYC process, which requires submission of a valid Philippine government-issued ID confirming the player's date of birth. Registration is blocked where age cannot be confirmed or where the applicant is identified as being below 21 years of age.
Parents and guardians who believe their child may have accessed the otso888 platform should contact our support team immediately at [email protected] so that appropriate action can be taken without delay.
Cross-Border Data Transfers
The otso888 platform is operated primarily from and for the Philippines. However, certain service providers used in our operations — such as cloud infrastructure providers, game studios, and cybersecurity vendors — may be located outside the Philippines. Where personal data is transferred to a country outside the Philippines, otso888 ensures that such transfers comply with Section 21 of the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and NPC guidelines on cross-border data flows.
Specifically, we require that all international data recipients:
- Are located in a country deemed by the NPC to provide an adequate level of data protection; or
- Have entered into a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with otso888 that incorporates NPC-approved standard contractual clauses; or
- Are subject to binding corporate rules or equivalent protections recognized under Philippine data protection law.
You may request details of the safeguards applied to any specific cross-border data transfer by contacting our Data Protection Officer at [email protected].

Where changes are material — meaning they significantly affect how we collect, use, or share your personal data — we will provide advance notice via email to your registered address and/or a prominent notice on the platform at least 14 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the otso888 platform after that notice period constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
If you do not agree with any amendment to this Privacy Policy, you must discontinue use of the platform and may request account closure by contacting our support team. Account closure requests are processed in accordance with our Terms & Conditions.
