11. Children's Privacy

The 29ph Service is intended exclusively for individuals aged 21 years and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from persons under the age of 21. Online gambling is illegal for minors in the Philippines, and we take age verification seriously.

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a person under 21 years of age, we will immediately delete that information from our systems and close any associated account. Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided personal information to 29ph should contact us immediately at [email protected].

We employ age verification measures including document verification, identity checks, and monitoring of player behavior patterns to prevent underage gambling. Any attempt by a minor to register an account or use the Service is a violation of our Terms and Conditions and applicable law.
