Children & Minors
ph22ph is a gambling platform and is strictly prohibited from being accessed by persons under the age of 21, as mandated by PAGCOR regulations governing online gaming in the Philippines. ph22ph does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals below the age of 21.
During registration, all applicants are required to provide their date of birth and, upon request, a valid government-issued Philippine identification document confirming their age.

Cross-Border Data Transfers
ph22ph primarily processes and stores personal data on servers located within or serving the Philippines. However, in limited circumstances, personal data may be transferred to or accessed from jurisdictions outside of the Philippines — for example, where ph22ph engages third-party game content providers, KYC verification services, or cloud infrastructure providers whose operations involve servers in other countries.
Where such cross-border transfers occur, ph22ph ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data, including:
- Executing data processing agreements with all third-party recipients that impose data protection obligations equivalent to those required under RA 10173.
- Transferring data only to jurisdictions or recipients where an adequate level of data protection is ensured, as assessed by ph22ph's Data Protection Officer in accordance with NPC guidelines.
- Restricting transferred data to the minimum necessary for the specific purpose of the transfer.
ph22ph does not transfer personal data to foreign entities for commercial exploitation, advertising profiling, or any purpose unrelated to the delivery of ph22ph's services to its Philippine members.
