Welcome to NuStar 1 — your go-to online gaming platform right here in the Philippines. Before you dive into the excitement of PBA Betting, Sabong, Tongits, Pusoy, or any of our other games, we want you to feel 100% comfortable about how we handle your personal information.

This Privacy Policy explains what data NuStar 1 collects from you, why we collect it, how we use it, and the rights you have over your own information. By creating an account and using the NuStar 1 platform, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you have any questions, our support team is always ready to help.

1. Who We Are

NuStar 1 is an online gaming and betting platform licensed to operate in the Philippines. We offer sports betting, traditional Filipino card games, sabong, and casino games to Filipino players who are of legal age to gamble.

We are committed to protecting your privacy in line with applicable Philippine laws, including the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations. The National Privacy Commission (NPC) oversees data privacy compliance in the Philippines, and NuStar 1 takes those obligations seriously.
