- Legal obligation — processing required to comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements, including KYC, anti-money laundering obligations, and age verification

07 Data Sharing
QQ88Bet does not sell, rent, or trade personal data to third parties for commercial marketing purposes. Personal data may be shared with the following categories of recipients, strictly on a need-to-know basis and subject to contractual data protection obligations:
- Payment processors and e-wallet providers — including the operators of Touch 'n Go eWallet, Boost, GrabPay, DuitNow, FPX, and the relevant Malaysian banking networks — to facilitate deposits and withdrawals
- Identity verification and KYC service providers — third-party agencies engaged to verify identity documents, screen against sanctions lists, and perform adverse media checks
- Game software providers — limited technical identifiers (not full personal profiles) are shared with certified game providers to deliver and audit gameplay
- Analytics and platform infrastructure providers — service providers supporting platform hosting, performance monitoring, and fraud detection, operating under data processing agreements
- Regulatory and law enforcement authorities — where QQ88Bet is under a legal obligation to disclose data, for example in response to a court order or financial investigation
Cross-border transfers: Where personal data is transferred outside Malaysia — for example, to international payment networks processing cryptocurrency transactions — QQ88Bet ensures adequate safeguards are in place, including contractual clauses binding recipient parties to data protection standards consistent with this Policy.
08 Data Retention
QQ88Bet retains personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable legal and regulatory obligations. The following indicative retention periods apply:
- Account and identity data: Retained for the lifetime of the Player account and for a minimum of five (5) years following account closure, in compliance with applicable anti-money laundering record-keeping requirements
- Transaction and financial data: Retained for a minimum of seven (7) years from the date of each transaction, consistent with financial record obligations
- Gameplay and betting data: Retained for three (3) years from the date of each session, or longer where required for dispute resolution or regulatory purposes
- Customer support communications: Retained for two (2) years from the date of the last interaction
- Cookie and technical data: Session cookies expire upon browser closure; persistent analytics cookies are retained for no longer than twelve (12) months
Upon expiry of the relevant retention period, personal data will be securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be attributed to an identified individual.
09 Security Measures
QQ88Bet implements a layered security framework to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, destruction, or disclosure. Key security measures include:
- Encryption in transit: All data transmitted between your device and QQ88Bet servers is protected using TLS 1.2 or higher encryption protocols
- Encryption at rest: Sensitive personal and financial data stored on QQ88Bet infrastructure is encrypted using AES-256 standard encryption
- Access controls: Internal access to personal data is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. Staff with access to personal data undergo security awareness training and are bound by confidentiality obligations
- Two-factor authentication: Available to all Players for account login and strongly recommended for accounts with significant account balances
- Vulnerability monitoring: Continuous monitoring of the Platform for security vulnerabilities, with a defined incident response procedure in the event of a data security breach
- Password hashing: Account passwords are never stored in plain text — all credentials are stored as one-way cryptographic hashes
Notwithstanding the above measures, no digital platform can guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data security breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms as a data subject, QQ88Bet will notify affected Players without undue delay following discovery of the breach.
10 Cookies & Tracking Technologies
QQ88Bet uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enable core platform functionality, improve user experience, and gather aggregated analytics that help us understand how Players use the Platform. The categories of cookies we deploy are as follows:
- Strictly necessary cookies: Essential for platform operation — including maintaining your authenticated session, remembering language preferences, and processing wagers. These cookies cannot be disabled without materially impairing your use of the Platform.
- Functional cookies: Store preferences such as your preferred sports markets, display settings, and responsible gambling tool configurations to personalise your experience across sessions.
- Analytics cookies: Collect anonymised data on how Players navigate the Platform — which pages are visited most, where sessions typically end, and which features are most used. This data is aggregated and used solely for platform improvement purposes.
- Security and fraud-detection cookies: Help identify unusual or potentially fraudulent account behaviour, including multiple account attempts from the same device and unusual session patterns.
You may configure your browser settings to reject or delete cookies; however, doing so may result in certain Platform features becoming unavailable or degraded. QQ88Bet does not deploy third-party advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

- Right to rectification: If you believe that any personal data QQ88Bet holds about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you may request that we correct or update it without undue delay.

This right is subject to limitations where QQ88Bet is required to retain data for legal, regulatory, or contractual reasons — for example, to comply with anti-money laundering record-keeping obligations.
- Right to restrict processing: You may request that QQ88Bet restricts the processing of your personal data in specific circumstances, such as where you contest the accuracy of the data or object to its processing.

- Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.
Response timeframe: QQ88Bet will respond to all verifiable data subject requests within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt. Where requests are complex or numerous, this period may be extended by a further sixty (60) days, with notice provided within the initial thirty-day period.
12 Minors & Age Gating
QQ88Bet is strictly intended for use by individuals who are 21 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under this age. Age verification is a mandatory step in the account registration process, and Players are required to provide documentary evidence of age during KYC verification.
If QQ88Bet discovers that personal data has been collected from an individual who is under 21 years of age, we will immediately suspend the associated account, delete the personal data collected (to the extent not required to be retained under applicable law), and report the incident to our compliance team for further review.
Parents and guardians who become aware that a minor has submitted personal data to QQ88Bet are encouraged to contact our support team immediately so that appropriate action can be taken.
13 Policy Amendments
QQ88Bet reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in data processing practices, applicable law, or platform functionality. Where amendments are material — meaning they substantially alter how we collect, process, or share your personal data — QQ88Bet will provide advance notice via on-platform notification or email to your registered account address.
The date of the most recent revision to this Policy is displayed at the top of this page. Continued use of the QQ88Bet Platform following the effective date of any revised Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. Players who do not accept the revised Policy should submit an account closure request.
