Your Data at CityNow — The Full Picture

Many people hesitate before sharing personal information when signing up on an online platform — and that's completely understandable. citynow believes the best way to address that concern is through transparency: being upfront about what information is needed, where it goes, and what rights you have.

When you register with citynow, you are asked for your name, email address, and mobile number — these are essential for creating your account and ensuring its security. Age verification is required because citynow only serves users aged 18 and above, which is a legal obligation. ID documents are requested during KYC verification because complying with international Anti-Money Laundering (AML) laws is mandatory for citynow.

A common question we hear is: is my betting history shared with anyone? The short answer is no. Your betting patterns, win/loss history, and transaction details are never shared with any third party — except payment processors, and even then, only the minimum information needed to complete a transaction is passed on.

Device information and IP addresses are collected primarily for security purposes. If someone attempts to access your account without authorization, citynow's system automatically flags the unusual location or device as suspicious. This is in place entirely for your protection.

A note on citynow's cookie policy: essential cookies cannot be disabled, as they are required to keep you logged in. Analytics and marketing cookies, however, are entirely optional and can be turned off at any time from your browser settings. If you no longer wish to receive marketing emails from citynow, you can unsubscribe from your account settings in just one click.

A common question about data retention is: does closing your account mean all your data gets deleted? The short answer is: partially. For legal reasons — including AML and tax laws — financial transaction records must be retained for up to 7 years. However, your marketing preferences, cookie data, and other personal information are deleted after their designated retention periods. citynow keeps nothing ambiguous on this front.

What does citynow do in the event of a data breach? Should a security incident ever occur — which has not happened to date — affected members will be notified within 72 hours and the relevant regulatory authorities will be informed, as required by applicable law. Transparency is a core principle at citynow.

At its core, citynow's privacy policy is built on a simple principle — your data belongs to you. We only use what is necessary to deliver our services. If you have any questions, feel free to ask directly — support@citynow.best is always available.

Questions About Privacy?

Direct answers to two questions members ask most

citynow is set to Bengali by default, keeping Bangladesh-based members in mind. However, you can change the interface language at any time. There are two ways to do so. The first way is to go to your Profile Settings while logged in. There you will find a "Language" option — simply select either English or Bengali. The change takes effect immediately and will also be retained the next time you log in. The second way is if you want to change the language without logging in: there is a language selector in the page footer or header that you can use directly. In this case, your preference is saved only in the browser cookie, not in your account settings. To change the language in the app, go to the Settings icon in the app menu and look for the "Language" option. Currently, both Bengali and English are fully supported — all menus, buttons, and messages are available in both languages. There are plans to add more languages in the future.

citynow offers several practical responsible betting tools, available under the "Responsible Gaming" section in your account settings. The most widely used tool is the deposit limit, which lets you set a daily, weekly, or monthly maximum deposit amount. Limits take effect immediately once set. If you want to increase a limit, a 72-hour cooling period applies — this is designed to prevent impulsive decisions. The bet limit tool lets you set a maximum stake per bet, making it the simplest way to avoid large losses. The cooling-off period gives you a temporary break from the platform — anywhere from 24 hours to 30 days. During this time, you will not be able to log in to your account. Use this tool if you feel you need some time away. The reality check feature sends you a notification at set intervals (such as every 30 minutes or 1 hour) showing how long you have been playing and how much you have spent. Permanent self-exclusion is also available, allowing you to close your account entirely for a period of 6 months to 5 years. For more details on this, Responsible Gaming View page.
