• Identity verification providers: Automated KYC platforms receive your submitted ID documents and selfie data solely for the purpose of verifying your identity and age. These providers are contractually bound to process data only for that purpose.
• Game software providers: Game studios such as Pragmatic Play, PG Soft, and Habanero may receive anonymized gameplay data for RNG certification, technical auditing, and fair play verification purposes.
• IT and security service providers: Cloud hosting providers, cybersecurity partners, and fraud detection services that support the operation of the tz77 platform under strict data processing agreements.

10. Children and Minors

tz77 is strictly an 18+ and 21+ platform in accordance with Philippine gaming regulations. We do not knowingly collect personal data from any person under the age of 21. Our registration process requires players to confirm their age and submit government-issued ID for verification. Any account found to belong to a person under 21 will be immediately suspended, all pending winnings forfeited, and deposits returned in accordance with our Terms and Conditions and PAGCOR regulations.

If you believe a minor has registered on tz77, please contact our support team immediately at the contact details in Section 12. We take underage gambling seriously and cooperate fully with PAGCOR enforcement on this issue.
