10. Children & Minors

5bwm Casino strictly prohibits the use of its platform by any person under the age of 21. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals below the minimum age threshold.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has registered a 5bwm account without consent, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so that we may investigate and take appropriate action without delay.

11. Cross-Border Data Transfers

Some of 5bwm Casino's service providers — including cloud infrastructure, game content delivery networks, and fraud detection systems — may operate data centres outside the Philippines. Where personal data is transferred internationally, 5bwm Casino ensures that such transfers are subject to appropriate safeguards, including contractual clauses that require the recipient to afford a standard of data protection equivalent to that required under Philippine law.

5bwm Casino will not transfer personal data to jurisdictions that do not provide an adequate level of protection without first obtaining your explicit consent or implementing approved transfer mechanisms as recognised by the National Privacy Commission.

The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will be revised accordingly. Your continued use of the 5bwm Casino platform following the effective date of any amendment constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
