• Automated collection: Via cookies, web beacons, and server logs when you browse or use the bonus88 platform. See Section 8 for full cookie details.

4. How We Use Your Data

We process your personal data only for legitimate, clearly defined purposes:

4.1 Account Management & Service Delivery

To create and manage your bonus88 account, process transactions in Malaysian Ringgit, deliver gaming services, and provide customer support around the clock.

4.2 Identity Verification & Regulatory Compliance

Malaysian and international anti-money laundering (AML) regulations require us to verify user identities, monitor transactions, and maintain records. This is a legal obligation, not optional.

4.3 Responsible Gaming

We use betting history and account activity data to support our responsible gaming programme — including flagging unusual patterns, enforcing self-imposed deposit limits, and processing self-exclusion requests.

4.4 Platform Security & Fraud Prevention

Technical and behavioural data helps us detect suspicious login attempts, prevent account takeovers, identify fraudulent transactions, and maintain the overall integrity of the bonus88 platform.

4.5 Communications & Marketing

With your consent, we may send you promotional emails about new games, sports betting features, bonus offers, and platform updates relevant to Malaysian users. You can opt out of marketing communications at any time through your account settings or by contacting our support team.

4.6 Platform Improvement

Aggregated and anonymised usage data helps us understand how players interact with our sportsbook, slots, live casino, and other features — enabling us to make improvements that genuinely benefit the Malaysian gaming community.

5. Data Sharing & Disclosure

bonus88 does not sell your personal data. We may share it only in the following limited circumstances:

5.1 Service Providers & Processors

We engage trusted third-party service providers — including KYC verification partners, payment processors (handling Touch 'n Go, Boost, FPX, and bank transfers), cloud hosting providers, and fraud detection services — who process data strictly on our behalf and under binding data processing agreements.

5.2 Legal & Regulatory Obligations

We may disclose personal data to Malaysian regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or financial intelligence units where we are legally compelled to do so, or where disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of bonus88, its users, or the public.

5.3 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our business assets, user data may be transferred to the successor entity. We will notify registered users of any such transfer via email or a prominent in-platform notice prior to data being transferred and a new privacy policy taking effect.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy and to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations. In practice, this means:

• Active accounts: Data is retained for the duration of your account's active status plus a minimum of five (5) years after account closure, as required by Malaysian AML regulations.
• Transaction records: Financial transaction logs are retained for a minimum of seven (7) years in compliance with applicable financial recordkeeping requirements.
• Responsible gaming records: Self-exclusion records and responsible gaming interventions are retained for a minimum of five (5) years to ensure the effectiveness of these protections.
• Marketing data: Retained only until you withdraw consent or opt out, after which it is deleted from our marketing lists within 30 days.
• Technical logs: Server and access logs are typically retained for 90 days unless required longer for a specific security investigation.

When personal data is no longer needed and no legal retention obligation applies, we securely delete or anonymise it.

7. Security Measures

bonus88 takes the security of your personal data seriously. We implement a range of technical and organisational measures to protect against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or disclosure:

• All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher.
• Sensitive data stored in our systems is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption.
• Account access is protected by strong password hashing (bcrypt) and optional two-factor authentication (2FA).
• Internal access to personal data is restricted on a need-to-know basis, with role-based access controls and audit logging for all data access by staff.
• Our infrastructure undergoes regular security assessments, penetration testing, and vulnerability scanning.
• In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify affected users and relevant Malaysian authorities in accordance with applicable law.

8. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

bonus88 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate and improve the platform. Here is a breakdown of what we use and why:

8.1 Essential Cookies

These are strictly necessary for the platform to function. They manage your login session, maintain security tokens, and remember your language and currency preferences. You cannot opt out of essential cookies without affecting platform functionality.

8.2 Analytics Cookies

We use first-party analytics tools to understand how users navigate bonus88 — which game categories are most popular among Kuala Lumpur users, how long sessions last, and where drop-off points occur in the registration flow. This data is aggregated and anonymised.

8.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies remember your preferences — such as your preferred sports categories (e.g., Malaysia Super League, EPL), deposit amounts, and interface settings — so you do not have to re-enter them every visit.

8.4 Managing Cookies

You can control non-essential cookies via your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may limit your experience on the bonus88 platform. For full instructions, refer to your browser's help documentation.

9. Your Data Rights

• Right of Access: You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you at any time.
• Right of Correction: You may request that inaccurate or incomplete personal data be corrected.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on your consent (e.g., marketing emails), you may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
• Right to Restrict Processing: In certain circumstances, you may request that we limit how we use your data while a query or complaint is being resolved.
• Right to Erasure: Subject to our legal retention obligations, you may request deletion of your personal data when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.
• Right to Lodge a Complaint: If you believe your data rights have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant Malaysian authority.

To exercise any of these rights, contact our Data Protection team by emailing [email protected]. We will respond to all verified requests within 21 days. Note that some requests may be subject to identity verification before we can process them.

10. Age Restrictions

The bonus88 platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 years and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21.

During the registration process, all users are required to confirm their date of birth and submit identity documents for KYC verification. If we discover that personal data has been collected from a person under 21, we will take immediate steps to delete that data and close the associated account.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has registered on bonus88 using false information, please contact us immediately at [email protected] and we will investigate and act promptly.

• Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
• Send a notification email to all registered users at their email address on file.
• Display a prominent banner or in-platform notice on your next login.
