89PHP IO is committed to full compliance with Philippine Anti-Money Laundering laws and PAGCOR regulations. This policy outlines our KYC procedures, transaction monitoring, suspicious activity reporting, and our commitment to preventing financial crime.
The purpose of this Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Policy is to establish and maintain effective controls to prevent, detect, and report money laundering and terrorist financing activities on the 89PHP IO platform. We are fully committed to complying with the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2001 (Republic Act No. 9160), as amended, and all relevant implementing rules and regulations issued by the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) and the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR).
This policy applies to all players, employees, and third-party partners of 89PHP IO. It is our obligation to protect the integrity of our platform and the Philippine financial system from illicit financial activities.
89PHP IO operates under a PAGCOR license and is classified as a covered person under the AMLC's regulatory framework. As such, we are required to implement a comprehensive AML compliance program that includes:
Our AML Compliance Officer is responsible for overseeing the implementation and enforcement of this policy. All employees are required to report any suspicious activity to the Compliance Officer immediately.
To prevent money laundering and identity fraud, 89PHP IO enforces strict Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures. All players are required to provide accurate and verifiable information upon registration and before any withdrawal can be processed.
Our KYC process includes:
We reserve the right to suspend accounts or withhold withdrawals if KYC documentation is not provided within a reasonable timeframe or if the documentation appears fraudulent.
Players must be 21 years of age or older to register and play on 89PHP IO. Age verification is part of our KYC process, and we strictly enforce underage gambling prevention measures.
89PHP IO employs a real-time transaction monitoring system to detect unusual, irregular, or suspicious transactions. Our system analyzes player behavior, deposit and withdrawal patterns, and betting activity to identify potential money laundering or terrorist financing red flags.
Examples of suspicious transaction indicators include:
Any transactions flagged as suspicious are reported to our AML Compliance Officer for further investigation. If necessary, we will file a Suspicious Transaction Report (STR) with the AMLC in accordance with applicable laws.
In compliance with the Anti-Money Laundering Act, 89PHP IO has a legal obligation to report suspicious transactions to the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC). A transaction is considered suspicious if it has no apparent legitimate purpose, is inconsistent with the player's known profile, or involves funds that may be derived from illegal activities.
Our reporting process includes:
We also cooperate fully with AMLC, PAGCOR, and other law enforcement agencies in their investigations.
To ensure full traceability and compliance, 89PHP IO maintains comprehensive records of all player transactions, KYC documents, and communication logs. All records are retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of the transaction or account closure, as required by Philippine law.
Records we maintain include:
All records are stored securely, with access restricted to authorized personnel only. We ensure compliance with the Privacy Policy in handling personal data.
89PHP IO conducts regular AML risk assessments to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities in our operations. We evaluate risks associated with:
Based on these assessments, we adjust our AML controls, enhance monitoring for high-risk players, and implement additional verification measures when necessary.
