Introduction & Definitions

Sonabed is a licensed online betting and gaming platform serving users in Bangladesh. When you use our website or app, you share certain information with us. This Privacy Policy clearly explains what Sonabed does with that information.

In this policy, "personal data" means any information that can directly or indirectly identify you — such as your name, mobile number, email address, or device IP address. "Processing" covers everything from collection and storage to use and deletion.

In simple terms: Sonabed collects your information only when necessary. It is never sold, never shared without reason, and never used beyond what is required.

By using Sonabed's services, you are considered to have agreed to this Privacy Policy. If any changes are made, the updated date will be shown at the top of the page, and you will be notified by email for significant changes.

What information is collected

Sonabed collects information in two ways — what you provide directly and what is gathered automatically as you use the service.

What you provide directly:

  • At registration: full name, email address, mobile number, and date of birth.
  • KYC verification requires: National ID number or passport number, and a photo.
  • During payments: your mobile banking account number (partial only — the full number is not stored).
  • When you contact support: the messages and details of the enquiry or complaint you submit.

What is collected automatically:

  • Device information: device model, operating system, and browser version.
  • Network data: IP address (used for security purposes, not to determine your location).
  • Usage data: pages you visited, session duration, and games you played.
  • Transaction history: records of deposits, withdrawals, and bets.
  • Cookies and tracking technologies: see the cookies section for full details.
Sonabed never stores your password in plain text. Passwords are kept as encrypted hashes that cannot be read.

How and why your data is used

Sonabed uses your information only for specific, legitimate purposes. These are clearly outlined below:

  • Account creation, management, and identity verification.
  • Keeping deposit and withdrawal processing secure.
  • Providing betting and gaming services and maintaining your game history.
  • Sending personalized offers and promotions based on your preferences and habits.
  • Identifying security risks, preventing fraud and money laundering.
  • Complying with legal and licensing obligations.
  • Resolving and improving technical issues on the platform.
  • Helping our support team understand and resolve your issues.

You can opt out of marketing emails or promotional SMS at any time. Manage your preferences through "Notification Preferences" in your account settings. Please note that important service-related messages (such as payment confirmations and security alerts) cannot be turned off.

Sharing Data with Third Parties

Sonabed never sells your personal data. However, limited data may be shared with specific third parties where necessary to operate the service.

  • Payment Provider: Information required to process transactions with bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or your bank.
  • Game Provider: Account ID (not personal information) required to run games from providers such as Evolution and Pragmatic Play.
  • KYC service provider: Approved third-party service for identity verification.
  • Legal Authority: Upon a valid court order or lawful request from a regulatory authority.
  • Anti-fraud system: Fraud detection software — used solely for risk analysis.
Before sharing your information with any third party, Sonabed ensures that they comply with adequate data protection standards. These partners are not permitted to use your information for their own marketing or any other purposes.
5

Data storage and security measures

Sonabed stores your data on secure servers, with security measures in place at both the technical and administrative level.

  • 256-bit SSL encryption: all communication between our servers and your browser or app is encrypted.
  • Database encryption: stored data is encrypted separately at rest.
  • Access controls: only authorized staff can access specific data.
  • Regular security audits: routine penetration testing conducted by external experts.
  • Backup and recovery systems: in place to protect against the risk of data loss.

How long is data retained?

Active account data is retained for the duration of your account. Even after closure, transaction records are typically kept for up to 5 years to meet legal and licensing obligations. Once that period expires, your data is securely deleted.

Even with the highest security measures in place, no internet service can guarantee 100% security. Keep your password strong and make sure two-factor authentication is enabled.

FAQ

Useful answers to common questions about payment methods and age requirements

Sonabed supports all major mobile financial services in Bangladesh. Deposits and withdrawals are currently available through the following methods:

bKash: The most popular method. Deposits start from as low as ৳200. Funds usually arrive within 3–5 minutes. Withdrawals are also fast, though bKash may apply its own cashout charges.

Nagad: Just as convenient as bKash. This post office-operated service is trusted by many users. Available from a minimum of ৳200.

Rocket (Dutch-Bangla Bank): Convenient for Dutch-Bangla Bank customers. Minimum deposit starts from ৳300.

Upay (United Commercial Bank): Relatively new but already supported. Available from a minimum of ৳300.

Bank Transfer: Most commercial banks are supported. Minimum deposit is ৳500 (BDT), with processing taking 1–2 business days.

Sonabed charges no fees on deposits via any method. However, your payment provider may apply their own charges. You must use an account registered in your own name when making a deposit — using a third-party account may cause issues when withdrawing.

No. To register on Sonabed, you must be at least 18 years of age. This is not just a Sonabed rule — it is an international standard and a licensing requirement for all online gaming and betting platforms.

A date of birth is required at registration, and Sonabed's system automatically verifies your age. Any attempt to register under the age of 18 is rejected outright.

Outside of this, a national ID or passport may be requested at any time as part of the KYC process. If false information is used to register and is later discovered, the account will be permanently closed and any remaining balance may be forfeited.

If any minor in your household has accessed or attempted to access Sonabed, contact our support team immediately. We will act quickly and help you handle the situation.
