Updated: 1 January 2026

Bonus88's Privacy Commitment to Malaysian Members

Six core principles that guide how we handle your data every day

256-Bit SSL Encryption Across All Layers

All data transmitted between your device and bonus88 servers is protected by 256-bit SSL encryption – the same standard used by leading banking institutions in Malaysia. This means your identity card details, phone number, and transaction records cannot be intercepted or read by any third party.

We Do Not Sell Your Data

Bonus88 has never and will never sell, rent, or transfer members' personal data to third parties for marketing or commercial purposes. Your data is used solely for the purposes for which you gave explicit consent during registration – nothing more.

Full Control in Your Hands

You have the right to access, correct, download, or request deletion of your personal data at any time. Requests are processed within 14 working days and require no justification on your part – it is your right as the owner of that data.

Minimum Necessary Data Only

Bonus88 only collects data that is genuinely necessary to provide our services safely and effectively. We do not request irrelevant information simply because we can. This "data minimisation" principle has been built into our platform from the ground up.

Full Control Over Marketing Communications

You may opt out of promotional emails, SMS notifications, or other marketing communications from bonus88 at any time via your account settings or by clicking the "unsubscribe" link in any email we send. Unsubscriptions take effect within 48 hours.

Compliance with International Industry Standards

The bonus88 privacy policy is designed in accordance with international industry best practices in data protection. All third parties we work with – including live casino providers and Malaysian payment processors – are required to meet an equivalent or higher standard of data protection.

Quick summary: bonus88 collects only the data needed for you to use this platform safely. We do not sell your data. You have full control. If you have any questions, contact us – we're happy to respond in Bahasa Melayu.

Bonus88 uses your personal data only for lawful and necessary purposes in the context of providing you with our betting platform services. Below is a full breakdown of how your data is used:

3.1 Account Management & Service Delivery

Your data is used to create and manage your bonus88 account, verify your identity at login, process deposits and withdrawals via your chosen Malaysian payment method, assign and manage your VIP tier, and ensure all financial transactions are handled accurately and securely.

3.2 Platform Security & Fraud Prevention

We analyse usage patterns, technical data, and transaction records to identify and prevent fraudulent activity, multi-account use, bonus abuse, money laundering, and other security threats. This is our legitimate interest in protecting all bonus88 members from the harmful effects of fraudulent activity.

3.3 Service Communications

We use your email address and phone number to send important account notifications – including deposit and withdrawal confirmations, password change alerts, security notices, and updates to our Privacy Policy or Terms & Conditions. These service communications cannot be opted out of as they form part of the core service you receive as a member.

3.4 Marketing and Promotions (with Consent)

With your consent given at registration, we send information about promotions, welcome bonuses, seasonal offers (e.g., special promotions during the IPL season or the Thomas Cup badminton tournament), and platform news. You may withdraw this consent at any time through your account settings.

3.5 Platform Improvements

Aggregated, de-identified usage data is used to understand how members use our platform, identify popular or underperforming features, optimise platform performance for Malaysian networks (4G and 5G), and make informed product development decisions.

3.6 Legal and Regulatory Compliance

We are required to retain certain records and disclose information to the relevant authorities when mandated by applicable law. This includes cooperating with investigations into financial fraud, money laundering, or other lawful requests from law enforcement agencies.

4. Legal Basis for Data Processing

Bonus88 processes your personal data on one or more of the following legal bases, depending on the context in which the data is used:

  • Contract performance: Processing necessary to fulfil the agreement between you and bonus88 – including processing bets, deposits via Touch 'n Go or DuitNow, and general account management
  • Legitimate interests: Processing for fraud prevention, platform security, and service improvement where our legitimate interests do not override your fundamental rights.
  • Consent: Processing for direct marketing and promotional communications – you provided this explicit consent during registration and may withdraw it at any time.
  • Legal obligation: Processing required to fulfil our legal obligations, including compliance with KYC requirements and related reporting

5. Sharing Data with Third Parties

Bonus88 does not sell, rent, or transfer members' personal data to third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes. However, in the context of legitimate platform operations, we share necessary data with the following categories of third parties:

5.1 Payment Service Providers

Information required to process financial transactions is shared with Malaysian payment processors we work with – including Touch 'n Go eWallet, DuitNow, GrabPay, Boost, ShopeePay, and banks supporting FPX such as Maybank2u and CIMB Clicks. This data sharing is limited strictly to information technically necessary to complete the transaction and does not involve betting records or other sensitive information.

5.2 Third-Party Game Providers

The bonus88 Live Casino platform is powered by world-class third-party providers. To enable gameplay, limited account information (such as member ID and game balance) is shared with these providers. All providers we work with are required to sign a data processing agreement holding them to privacy standards equivalent to this Policy.

5.3 Technical Service Providers

We use third-party services for the platform's technical infrastructure – including cloud services, platform analytics, and cybersecurity support. All such providers are given access only to the data required for their specific technical tasks and are not permitted to use that data for any other purpose.

5.4 Authorities and Legal Requirements

Bonus88 will disclose personal data to the authorities when required by applicable law, a valid court order, or an official request from a law enforcement agency acting within its lawful jurisdiction. We will notify you of any such disclosure where the law permits us to do so.

Our commitment: Every data-sharing agreement bonus88 enters into with third parties includes strict data protection clauses. We will not work with any party that cannot meet our data protection standards. A list of our key third-party providers is available upon request by emailing our privacy team.

6. Data Storage & Security

The security of your personal data is a core technical priority in the development and maintenance of the bonus88 platform. We implement multiple layers of technical and organisational safeguards to prevent unauthorised access, loss, destruction, or disclosure of data:

6.1 Technical Security Measures

  • Encryption in transit: All communications between your device and our servers are protected with TLS 1.3 protocol using AES-256 encryption – the strongest commercially available standard at this time
  • Encryption at rest: Personal data stored in our databases is encrypted at rest for additional protection in the event of a physical security breach.
  • Role-based access control: bonus88 employees only have access to the data required to carry out their specific job functions – no single employee has unrestricted access to all member data
  • Two-factor authentication (2FA): All bonus88 internal systems containing member data are secured with mandatory two-factor authentication for all staff who have access
  • 24/7 security monitoring: Our intrusion detection system and abnormal activity monitoring run continuously to detect and respond to security threats in real time
  • Regular security audits: The bonus88 platform undergoes regular security assessments, including penetration testing conducted by independent cybersecurity experts.

6.2 Data Breach Response Procedures

Despite all the security measures we have in place, no system can guarantee 100% absolute security. In the event of a data breach affecting members' personal information, bonus88 is committed to:

  • Identifying and containing the breach in the shortest possible time
  • Notifying affected members via their registered email within 72 hours of a breach being confirmed
  • Providing clear information about the types of data affected, the actions we have taken, and the steps you can take to protect yourself
  • Reporting to the relevant authorities as required by applicable law

7. Cross-Border Data Transfers

In the course of providing our online betting platform services, some of your personal data may be processed or stored outside Malaysia – particularly in relation to cloud server infrastructure and third-party game provider systems that operate across multiple locations worldwide.

Bonus88 ensures that all such international data transfers are protected by appropriate data protection mechanisms, including standard contractual clauses that require recipients in other countries to safeguard your data to a standard equivalent to this Policy.

If you would like more information about the specific mechanisms we use for particular international data transfers, please contact our Privacy Officer via the details provided at the end of this Policy.

10. Child Protection

The bonus88 platform is strictly for individuals aged 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect or process personal data from anyone under 18. Our registration process includes an automatic age check based on the date of birth entered.

If we discover that personal data has been collected from individuals under the age of 18, we will take immediate steps to delete that data and close the account in question without any penalty to the individual who registered it.

Parents or guardians who believe a family member under the age of 18 has an account with bonus88 should contact our customer support immediately. Such cases will be handled with the highest priority and full sensitivity.

11. Data Retention Period

Bonus88 retains your personal data for as long as your account is active or as long as necessary to provide services to you. In addition, we may need to retain certain data for longer periods for the following reasons:

  • Legal obligation: Financial transaction records may need to be retained for a minimum of 7 years to comply with applicable financial and tax legislation.
  • Fraud prevention: Account records suspended for fraud are retained to prevent re-registration by the same individual
  • Dispute resolution: Data related to unresolved disputes or complaints is retained until the case is fully resolved.
  • Legitimate interests: Aggregated statistical data that cannot identify individuals may be retained for a longer period for business analytics purposes

When data is no longer needed and there is no legal obligation to retain it, bonus88 will securely delete or anonymise it using methods that ensure the data cannot be recovered.

12. Amendments to This Privacy Policy

Bonus88 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our privacy practices, newly added services, or evolving legal compliance requirements.

When we make significant amendments, we will notify all active members via:

  • In-account notifications that appear when you next log in after the amendments take effect
  • An email to your registered email address summarising the key changes
  • Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page

The latest version of this Privacy Policy is always available on this page. We encourage you to review it from time to time. Continued use of the bonus88 platform after any amendments take effect will be considered acceptance of the updated Policy.

FAQ – bonus88 Privacy Policy

Quick answers to the most frequently asked questions about data privacy.

Absolutely not. bonus88 has never and will never sell, rent, or transfer members' personal data to any third party for their own marketing or commercial purposes. Your data is shared only with parties directly involved in delivering services to you – such as Malaysian payment processors (Touch 'n Go, DuitNow, GrabPay) that need to process your transactions, or Live Casino providers that operate the games. This limited sharing exists solely to enable the platform to function and is governed by strict data protection agreements.
