1Win Kenya Data Files Transparency Policy: User Rights, Control Mechanisms
Your use of 1win Kenya services is based on fully informed consent to this Policy. We use digital identifiers (referred to in this Policy as "Data Files") to ensure compliance with all regulations established in Kenya, particularly the BCLB requirements for identity and geographical location verification.
Our Core Principle: We collect and use only the data that is absolutely necessary to provide you with a secure, legal, and convenient betting service.
💾 How Data Files Support Your Account
The digital files we place on your device perform tasks categorized by their impact on service operation:
Critical Files (Account Necessary)
These are files that directly concern fraud prevention and the legality of your actions.
- Session Security: They create a unique "token" for your login, ensuring that only you have access to your account during an active session.
- Regulatory Verification: They contain temporary geolocation data. If this data is missing, we cannot confirm you are betting from Kenya and are legally obligated to block gaming activity.
Important: Blocking Critical Files will result in immediate logout, as it compromises our licensing obligations under the BCLB.
User Experience Files (For Convenience)
These make the platform more personalized and efficient.
- Interface Settings: They remember your visual preferences (e.g., color scheme, text size) and quick selections for favorite sports or events.
- Performance Testing (Anonymous): They track the speed of page interactions and identify technical "bottlenecks" so we can quickly optimize them. This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you.
🛡️ Managing Your Data: Full Control
We provide you with tools to manage your consent, upholding your right to privacy.

💸 Financial Security and Confidentiality
Question: Is my financial information stored in these files?
Answer: No. Absolutely no Data Files store information about your funds, card numbers, bank accounts, or PINs. All financial information is processed and stored on secure, encrypted servers, using the highest-level security protocols. Data Files only confirm that you have a valid session necessary to execute a transaction.
Mobile App Specific (Device ID):
The mobile application uses your device's unique identifier (Device ID) as an extra layer of security, serving as a continuous digital verification of your identity. This helps prevent account cloning and manipulation of the system.
FAQ
The Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB) mandates that licensed operators like 1Win Kenya must confirm that all wagers originate from within Kenyan borders. Data Files are the technical mechanism used to meet this critical regulatory requirement. No. Blocking functional files only removes convenience features (like saving your preferred language or odds format). Your account security, compliance status, and ability to deposit or withdraw funds remain unaffected, as these processes rely on the mandatory Critical Security Files. Critical Data Files and the unique Mobile Device ID (for app users) create a persistent digital fingerprint. This allows us to track attempts to create multiple accounts, manipulate bonuses, or engage in other fraudulent activities that violate our Terms and Conditions. (Security & Fraud Prevention) Frequent or suspicious changes in your apparent location (such as using a VPN) will likely trigger our security protocols. The system will restrict your betting activity or log you out immediately, as it cannot satisfy the legal requirement to verify your stable presence in Kenya. (Regulatory Risk) Absolutely not. Data Files store only technical data, session IDs, and preferences. Sensitive personal and identification documents required for KYC are stored exclusively on our highly encrypted central servers, never on your local device. (Data Sensitivity)Why is location verification mandatory via these files?
Does blocking the optional 'Functional' files affect my compliance or my ability to withdraw funds?
