Requests should be directed to the customer support team and must include sufficient information to identify the account in question.
Responsible Gaming Commitment
Babu88 is committed to promoting responsible gaming and takes the protection of young people seriously. Users who are found to be under the age of 18 will have their accounts suspended and all associated data removed from the platform without delay.
International Transfer of Personal Data
Data Processing Across Borders
Babu88 operates in partnership with a range of service providers, technology vendors, and regulatory bodies that may be located outside of Pakistan. As a result, personal data collected from users may be transferred to and processed in countries other than the user’s country of residence.

By registering an account and continuing to use the platform, users provide their informed consent to the transfer of their personal data to jurisdictions where Babu88’s partners and processors operate. This includes countries that may have different data protection frameworks from those applicable in Pakistan.
