Only Necessary Data Is Collected

Scratch only collects the information genuinely needed to provide its services. No unnecessary data is ever requested.

Who Is This Policy For?

This Privacy Policy applies to everyone who uses the Scratch website or app. Continuing to use the platform means you accept this policy. If anything is unclear, feel free to ask our Bengali-language support team.

1What Kind of Data Does Scratch Collect?

Scratch collects two types of information from you — what you provide directly, and what is generated automatically through your use of the platform.

Information You Provide Directly

Identity Information

Full name, date of birth, and National ID number (for KYC verification) — required for age verification and security purposes.

Contact Information

Mobile number and email address — used for account communication and sending security OTPs.

Payment Information

BKash, Nagad, or bank account details — used for processing transactions and preventing fraud. Full payment information is never stored on Scratch's servers.

ID Document Images (KYC)

A photo of your NID or passport — only requested for large withdrawals or when required for security purposes.

Automatically Collected Information

Certain technical data is collected automatically while you use Scratch. This is necessary to maintain platform security and improve service quality:

  • IP address and device type (security and fraud prevention)
  • Browser and operating system information
  • Pages visited and time spent on each (used to improve our service)
  • Gaming and betting activity history (responsible gaming monitoring)
  • Transaction records (for financial security)

2Purpose of Data Collection

Scratch only collects and uses your data for specific, legitimate purposes. No information is stored unnecessarily.

  • Account Management: Account creation, login security, and identity verification.
  • Service Delivery: Playing games, betting, lottery, and processing transactions.
  • Security Assurance: Prevention of fraud, multiple accounts, and money laundering.
  • Responsible Gaming: Detecting unusual betting patterns to provide timely assistance.
  • Support Services: To resolve your issues quickly and accurately.
  • Legal Obligations: Compliance with international gaming licence requirements and financial regulators.
  • Service Improvement: Analysing which features are used most to improve the platform.
Important

Scratch never uses your data for ad targeting or sells it to third parties.

3How is your information kept secure?

Scratch uses industry-leading technology to keep your data secure. See the details below:

Data Transmission
SSL/TLS Encryption

All data exchanged between your browser and Scratch servers is encrypted via HTTPS. No third party can intercept or read it.

Data Storage
AES-256 Encryption

Your personal and financial data stored on our servers is secured with AES-256-bit encryption — the same standard used by banking systems.

Account Security
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

With 2FA enabled, an OTP is sent to your mobile on every login. Even if your password is compromised, your account stays secure.

Server Security
Regular Security Audits

Scratch's servers and software are regularly audited by independent third-party security experts. Any vulnerabilities identified are resolved immediately.

Payment Security
Tokenization

Your full bKash or bank account details are never stored on Scratch's servers. All transactions are processed securely through payment gateway tokenization.

No Scratch employee will ever ask for your password, OTP, or payment PIN by phone or message. If anyone does, it is fraudulent – contact support immediately.

4Who Is Your Data Shared With?

Scratch does not sell your data to third parties and does not generally share it. However, in limited circumstances, certain information may be shared with specific parties:

  • Payment Providers: Only the information necessary to complete a transaction is shared with bKash, Nagad, or your bank. Nothing beyond that.
  • Game Software Providers: Technical data required to keep games running smoothly. No personal information included.
  • Authorities & Law Enforcement: Disclosure is made when required by court order or government directive. In all such cases, scratch seeks legal advice before acting.
  • Security Auditors: Technical information shared with experts who verify platform security — never personal data.
  • Fraud Prevention Services: A specialised system for detecting money laundering and fraud — used solely for risk analysis.

In all of the above cases, data is shared under strict confidentiality agreements. scratch ensures that third parties maintain the same standard of data protection.

5Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Scratch's website and app use cookies – small data files stored on your device that help improve the quality of our services.

You can turn off all cookies except the essential ones. Cookies can be managed through your browser settings, though some features may not work properly if you do.

6How long is your data retained?

Scratch does not store your data indefinitely. Each category of information has a defined retention period:

  • Account Information: For as long as the account is active, and for a further 5 years after closure (as required by law).
  • Transaction Records: 5 to 7 years — as required by financial regulators.
  • Gaming History: For as long as the account is active, and for 2 years after closure.
  • KYC Documents: Up to 3 years after verification is complete, after which data is securely deleted.
  • Communication Records (Support): Up to 1 year after the issue is resolved.
  • Analytics Data: Up to 2 years after anonymisation.

Once the retention period ends, data is deleted securely and permanently. Users may also request deletion earlier, provided there are no legal obligations that prevent it.

9Changes to the Privacy Policy

Scratch may update this Privacy Policy as needed. For significant changes, registered users will be notified by email and in-app notification at least 30 days in advance.

How Safe Is Your Data on Scratch?

Many people hesitate to share personal information on online platforms — and that's a perfectly reasonable concern. scratch understands this, and works to demonstrate its commitment to data protection through real action, not just policy language.

Scratch's server infrastructure operates in world-class data centers equipped with physical security, uninterrupted power supply, and comprehensive cyber threat protection. Access logs are maintained for every server, and any unusual access attempt triggers an immediate alert.

Under scratch's internal policy, staff can only access data that is necessary for their specific role. Support agents cannot view your payment PIN, and the technical team cannot view your gaming history. This "least privilege" principle is an important layer of data protection.

Security incidents are rare, but when they occur, Scratch's incident response team acts within 4 hours. For serious incidents, affected users are notified directly within 72 hours.

Stay Protected

Alongside scratch's own protections, there are steps you can take too: use a strong password, enable 2FA, avoid logging in on public WiFi, and never click links in suspicious messages.

General FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions about Odds & Referrals

scratch displays odds in decimal format — the simplest method used in Bangladesh and most other countries. The calculation is straightforward: multiply the odds by your stake to get your total return. For example, a ৳100 bet at odds of 1.85 returns 100 × 1.85 = ৳185. That includes your original ৳100 stake, so your net profit is ৳85. Similarly, a ৳200 bet at 2.50 returns 200 × 2.50 = ৳500, giving you a net profit of ৳300. Generally, lower odds indicate a higher chance of winning — 1.20 means a heavy favourite, while 5.00 signals an underdog. In live betting, odds shift in real time as the match unfolds. On scratch's Sports Betting page, your potential total payout is shown right next to the odds, so there's no need to do the math yourself.

Scratch's referral program is straightforward. Log in to your account, go to the "Referral" section, and find your unique referral link or code. Share it with a friend. Once your friend registers on Scratch using that link and makes their first deposit, your referral reward is activated. The reward amount depends on the current promotion – typically a free mega lottery ticket, a free bet, or bonus balance. Rewards are usually credited within 24 to 48 hours of your friend's first deposit and are added to your Scratch balance automatically – no separate claim needed. You can refer multiple friends from a single account, and each successful referral earns a separate reward. However, multiple referrals from the same household or device are not accepted – the system detects this automatically.
