51 Game - Cookie Policy
Read the 51 Game cookie policy: the cookies this site uses, why we use them, and how you can manage, disable, or clear cookies in your browser at any time.
What are cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device, computer, smartphone, or tablet, when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognise your device on return visits and remember information about your session, such as login status, language preference, or game settings. Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or malware; they simply store key-value data that your browser sends back to the website on each subsequent request. On 51 Game, cookies are essential to delivering a seamless real-money gaming experience across Android, iOS, and desktop browsers.
Cookies fall into two broad categories based on origin: first-party cookies, set directly by 51gameplay.in.net, and third-party cookies, set by external service providers we integrate with, such as payment processors like PhonePe, Google Pay (GPay), or BHIM UPI for deposit and withdrawal flows. They also vary by lifespan: session cookies expire the moment you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period, typically between 30 and 365 days, until they expire or you delete them manually.
Strictly necessary cookies keep core functions of 51 Game running: authenticating your account, maintaining a secure session token, and preventing cross-site request forgery. Without these, features such as logging in, placing bets, or viewing your transaction history would not work. These cookies cannot be disabled via our preference centre because the service cannot operate without them.
How we use cookies
51 Game uses cookies across four functional areas. First, authentication and security: when you sign in, a session cookie stores an encrypted token that verifies your identity on every page load without requiring you to re-enter your password. This token expires after 24 hours of inactivity, after which you are automatically signed out to protect your account balance and personal data.
Second, payment session continuity: when you initiate a deposit or withdrawal through PhonePe, GPay, or BHIM UPI, a short-lived cookie, typically valid for 15 minutes, holds your transaction reference so our system can correctly reconcile the payment confirmation returned by the gateway, even if your browser navigates away mid-flow. This prevents duplicate charges or unmatched credits to your 51 Game wallet.
Third, analytics and personalisation: performance cookies record which game categories you visit and how long sessions last. This data is aggregated and anonymised, no individual player is identified, and helps our product team prioritise platform improvements. Preference cookies separately remember your chosen language and display settings so you do not need to reconfigure them on each visit.
