Race88 implements a range of technical and organisational measures to ensure your personal data remains safe and protected at all times.

256-bit SSL Encryption

All data transmitted between your device and race88's servers is protected with industry-standard 256-bit SSL encryption, ensuring no third party can intercept or read your information.

Secure Data Storage

Your personal data is stored on servers equipped with multi-layer firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS), and fully encrypted automatic backups.

Strict Access Control

Only authorised race88 staff with a specific business need may access your personal data. Every access is logged and audited periodically to ensure no misuse occurs.

No Data Sales

Race88 has never and will never sell, rent, or commercialise your personal data to any third party for marketing purposes without your explicit prior consent.

Two-Factor Authentication

Race88's 2FA system adds an extra layer of security to your account. Even if your password is compromised, a hacker still cannot access your account without verification from your device.

Legal Compliance

Race88's Privacy Policy fully complies with Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) and internationally recognised data protection standards, including GDPR as a best practice reference.

1Introduction & Scope of Privacy Policy

Welcome to the race88 Privacy Policy page. We at race88 understand that your trust is our most valuable asset. This Privacy Policy explains in detail how race88 collects, processes, stores, and protects your personal data every time you use our platform.

This document applies to all users who access the race88 website, use the race88 mobile app, register a member account, carry out financial transactions, or interact with any service offered by race88. By continuing to use our platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

Race88 is fully committed to complying with Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA). We appoint an internal Data Protection Officer (DPO) responsible for ensuring all our data handling practices align with current legal requirements and international industry standards.

Important Note: This Privacy Policy should be read together with the race88 Terms and Conditions. In the event of any conflict between the two documents regarding data protection, the provisions in this Privacy Policy shall prevail.

We are always striving to be more transparent about our data practices. If you have any questions after reading this document, the race88 support team is available to assist you at any time via live chat, available 24/7.

2Personal Data Collected

Race88 collects various types of personal data depending on how you interact with our platform. Below is a detailed breakdown of each category of data we collect:

Data Category Example Information Primary Purpose
Identity Data Full name, date of birth, identity card number, passport KYC verification, fraud prevention
Contact Data Email address, phone number, residential address Account communications, transaction notifications
Financial Data Bank account details, deposit and withdrawal records Payment processing, AML compliance
Usage Data Game records, betting history, login patterns Service improvement, fraud detection

Race88 may also receive your personal data from legitimate third-party sources, such as identity verification service providers, recognised fraud prevention databases, and registered payment providers. All data from these external sources is handled to the same security standards as data collected directly from you.

Important: race88 does not collect sensitive data such as health information, religious beliefs, or political affiliations. Should you voluntarily disclose such information while interacting with our support team, it will not be stored or used for any purpose.

3How race88 Uses Your Data

Every piece of data we collect is used for purposes that are clear, lawful, and directly relevant to the delivery of race88's services. We do not use your data for unrelated purposes without your consent.

  • Account Management: Creates and maintains your account, processes registration, verifies identity, and ensures the security of your login.
  • Transaction Processing: Processes deposits and withdrawals quickly and accurately, verifies sources of funds, and complies with financial reporting requirements.
  • Fraud Prevention: Monitors account activity to detect suspicious patterns, protecting you and the platform from fraudulent activity and money laundering.
  • Service Improvement: Analyses usage patterns to improve the interface, platform performance, and overall gaming experience.
  • Service Communications: Sends transaction notifications, account updates, security alerts, and promotional information you have opted in to receive.
  • Legal Compliance: Fulfils legal obligations under the PDPA, anti-money laundering (AML) requirements, and relevant regulatory directives.
  • Responsible Gaming: Monitors wagering patterns to identify early signs of problem gambling and extend support to players in need.

race88 applies the principle of "data minimisation" — we only collect data that is strictly necessary for the stated purposes. Data that is no longer required will be deleted or anonymised in accordance with our data retention schedule.

4Data Sharing & Disclosure

Race88 does not sell or trade your personal data. However, there are specific situations where we may need to share your information with selected and trusted third parties. Those situations are as follows:

  • Payment Service Providers: Required transaction information is shared with registered payment providers, including e-wallet service providers and card processors, to complete your transactions.
  • Technology Providers: Companies that supply technical infrastructure, gaming software, and cloud services to race88 may access certain data in a limited capacity as data processors.
  • Regulatory Authority: race88 may be required to disclose information to relevant authorities, regulatory bodies, or law enforcement agencies based on legitimate legal obligations.
  • KYC Verification Services: Your identity information is shared with accredited third-party identity verification service providers to process your KYC.
  • Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or transfer of race88's assets, user data may be transferred to the new entity as part of the business assets, subject to equivalent privacy protections.

All third parties we engage are required to sign strict data processing agreements. They are only permitted to process your data in accordance with race88's specific instructions and are not allowed to use your data for any other purpose.

race88 does not share your data with third-party advertising companies or social media networks for ad targeting purposes. Any marketing communications you receive come directly from race88, based on the preferences you have set in your account settings.

Question Frequently Asked About Privacy

Answers to the most frequently asked questions by race88 players regarding data protection and privacy.

No. race88 does not share your personal data with other gaming companies or any third parties for marketing or business purposes without your explicit consent. Your data is only shared with service providers directly involved in the operation of the race88 platform, such as payment providers and identity verification services, and only to the extent necessary for those purposes.

Yes, you have the right to request the deletion of your personal data. However, certain limitations apply — race88 is legally required to retain financial records and KYC information for the minimum period prescribed by Malaysian law, such as the Anti-Money Laundering Act. Data subject to these legal requirements cannot be deleted immediately but will be deleted as soon as the mandatory retention period expires. Please contact our support team for more information about this process.

race88 does not store your full bank card or credit card details directly on our servers. All payment transactions are processed through PCI-DSS certified payment providers, which represent the most stringent security standard in the payment card industry. Transaction data we retain is stored in tokenised form that cannot be used to access your bank account.

When you close your race88 account, your personal data is not deleted immediately. We are required to retain certain records for a period prescribed by law — typically 5 to 7 years for financial records. After this period, your data will be permanently deleted or fully anonymised. During this retention period, access to your data is strictly limited and tightly controlled in accordance with our internal access policies.

You can stop receiving marketing emails at any time through several methods: click the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any marketing email we send, log in to your race88 account and update your communication preferences in account settings, or contact our support team directly. Please note that even if you opt out of marketing emails, we will still send important transactional emails such as deposit confirmations, security notices, and required account updates.

race88 uses cloud infrastructure that may span data centres across multiple locations. If your data is transferred outside Malaysia, we ensure such transfers are carried out with protections equivalent to or greater than those required by Malaysia's PDPA. We only work with infrastructure providers that hold recognised international security certifications and operate under strict data protection agreements.
