Planet88's Six Data Protection Principles

How we handle your data is not merely a legal requirement — it is a responsibility we take seriously every day.

Advanced Data Encryption

All your personal data and financial transactions are protected with 256-bit SSL encryption — the same security standard used by leading Malaysian banking institutions such as Maybank and CIMB. Your information cannot be intercepted in transit.

No Sale of Data to Third Parties

Planet88 does not sell, rent, or disclose members' personal information to any third party for marketing or commercial purposes without your explicit consent. Your data belongs to you — not to us as a business asset.

Compliance with Malaysia's PDPA

All of planet88's data handling practices comply with Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA). We process your personal data only on lawful grounds and solely for purposes to which you have given your consent.

Restricted & Controlled Data Access

Only staff who require access to your data to perform their duties — such as the customer support and finance teams — are permitted to access member personal information. All access is logged and monitored automatically.

Right of Access & Data Correction

As a planet88 member, you have the right to access, review, correct, or request the deletion of your personal information at any time. These requests will be processed by our team within a reasonable timeframe following verification of your identity.

Continuous Security Monitoring

Planet88's cybersecurity systems operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to detect and prevent any unauthorised access attempts, data breaches, or other security threats that could compromise members' personal information.


Important Note

This Privacy Policy describes Planet88's data protection practices and your rights as a member. It should be read together with Terms & Conditions us. By registering a Planet88 account, you consent to the collection and use of your personal data as described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not proceed with registration.

1 Introduction

Planet88 is an online sports betting and casino platform operating to serve users in Malaysia. We understand that the personal information you share with us when registering and using this platform is a trust you place in us — and it is a trust we do not take lightly.

This Privacy Policy sets out in detail the types of data we collect from members, how that data is used, who it may be shared with under certain circumstances, how long it is retained, and what rights you have over your personal data. We have made every effort to use clear, plain language because we believe you deserve to know exactly what happens with your information.

This policy applies to all registered Planet88 members in Malaysia, as well as any individual who browses the planet88.asia website without creating an account. By using our platform in any capacity, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.

2 Types of Personal Data We Collect

We collect various types of personal data depending on how you interact with the Planet88 platform. The table below provides a brief overview of the data categories we collect and their primary purposes:

Data Category Example Information Primary Purpose
Identity Information Full name, MyKad number, date of birth, gender Identity verification (KYC), age restrictions
Contact Information Phone number, email address, residential address Account communications, two-factor authentication
Financial Data Bank account number, e-wallet name, transaction history Processing deposits and withdrawals

3 How We Collect Your Personal Data

Planet88 collects members' personal data through several key channels:

  • Account registration form — information you provide when opening a new account, including your name, email address, and phone number
  • KYC verification process — identity documents you submit for member eligibility verification, such as a copy of your MyKad
  • Financial transactions — details provided during deposits via Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay, Boost, ShopeePay, DuitNow, or FPX, as well as bank account information for withdrawals
  • Platform usage — data automatically generated when you use the platform, such as Sports Betting, live casino games, Poker, and slots
  • Customer support interactions — records of live chat conversations and email correspondence with our support team
  • Cookies and similar technologies — technical data automatically collected via your web browser when you browse the platform

We do not purchase personal data from external sources or collect member personal data without their knowledge and consent. All data collection is transparent and for legitimate purposes.

4 Purpose of Personal Data Use

The personal data we collect is used for the following purposes, and for these purposes only:

  • Processing and verifying new member account registrations
  • Conducting identity verification (KYC) processes to ensure only eligible individuals can access the platform
  • Processing deposits via available Malaysian payment methods and withdrawing winnings to member accounts
  • Providing Sports Betting, live casino, Poker, slots, and Blackjack services
  • Sending account-related communications such as transaction confirmations, security notifications, and promotional alerts (with your consent)
  • Detecting and preventing fraud, money laundering, duplicate accounts, and other unlawful activity
  • Monitoring usage patterns to support our responsible gaming programme
  • Improving platform features, user interface, and overall service quality
  • Complying with applicable legal and regulatory requirements, including Malaysia's PDPA
  • Resolving disputes and complaints submitted by members
About Marketing Communications

Planet88 will only send you marketing communications — such as promotional information, new bonuses, and special offers — if you have given your explicit consent to receive them. You may withdraw this consent at any time by contacting our customer support team or through your account settings.

5 Sharing Data with Third Parties

Planet88 does not sell member personal information to any third party. However, in certain limited circumstances, personal data may be shared with the following parties on a legitimate need-to-know basis:

  • Payment service providers — such as Malaysian e-wallet payment processors (Touch 'n Go, GrabPay, Boost, ShopeePay, DuitNow) and banks (via FPX) to facilitate your financial transactions
  • Game providers — the minimum technical data required by live casino, slots, and poker game providers to ensure games function correctly
  • Technology service providers — companies that provide the technical infrastructure, server hosting, and cybersecurity services we rely on to operate the platform
  • Relevant authorities — where required by law or a valid court order, or in the context of an investigation into criminal activity involving our platform

In all cases where data is shared with third parties, we ensure those parties are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and may only use the data for the specified purpose. They are not permitted to use your data for any other purpose, including third-party marketing.

If Planet88 undergoes a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, member personal data may be transferred as part of the business assets. In such cases, we will notify members via an in-platform notification or email before the data is transferred and before it becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

6 Data Security Measures

Planet88 continuously invests in security technologies and procedures to protect members' personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Key security measures we have implemented include:

  • 256-bit SSL encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and Planet88's servers
  • Encryption of sensitive data such as financial information stored in our databases
  • Role-based access control — only staff who require access to specific data in order to perform their duties are permitted to do so
  • Audit logs recording all internal staff access to member personal data
  • Real-time cybersecurity monitoring, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
  • Regular security testing, including penetration testing conducted by independent experts
  • Mandatory privacy awareness and data security training for all Planet88 staff
  • Tested incident response procedures to address any data breach promptly

While we take every reasonable step to protect your data, no security system can be guaranteed 100% secure against all threats. We therefore also encourage members to play their part in keeping their accounts safe by using strong passwords and not sharing their login credentials with anyone.

7 Data Retention Period

Planet88 retains member personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, or as long as required to comply with applicable legal obligations. Generally:

  • Active account data is retained for as long as your account remains active and for a reasonable period after the account is closed
  • Financial transaction records are retained for a minimum of seven years for legal and tax compliance purposes
  • Customer support communication records are retained for three years from the date of the last interaction
  • Technical log data is retained for twelve months from the date of generation
  • KYC verification records are retained for the period required under applicable law

Once the retention period has ended, your personal data will be securely deleted or anonymised using methods that ensure the data cannot be recovered or re-identified. If you request data deletion before the standard retention period expires, we will assess your request in the context of our legal obligations before taking action.
