Welcom88's Six Privacy Commitments to Malaysian Members

The core principles that shape how Welcom88 handles and protects your personal data.

Minimum & Purposeful Collection

Welcom88 only collects data that is genuinely necessary to provide our services. We do not collect excessive or irrelevant data beyond the stated purposes — a privacy by design principle we have upheld from the outset.

Encryption & Layered Security

All data stored and transmitted through the Welcom88 platform is protected with 256-bit SSL encryption. Our server infrastructure employs a multi-layered security system with strict access controls and real-time monitoring around the clock.

No Sale of Data to Third Parties

Welcom88 has never and will never sell, rent, or share members' personal data with any third party for marketing or any other purpose without the explicit consent of the member concerned. This is a commitment we will not compromise on.

Transparency in Data Use

We are transparent about what data we collect, why we collect it, and how long we keep it. No hidden terms, no silent data collection. You have the right to know, and we are committed to explaining this clearly to every Welcom88 member.

Full Control Over Your Data

As a Welcom88 member, you have the right to access your personal data, request corrections, request restrictions on processing, or request deletion of your data under certain circumstances. All such requests are handled with full respect and within a reasonable timeframe.

Malaysian Legal Compliance

Welcom88's Privacy Policy fully complies with Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) and its associated regulations. We continuously update our privacy practices to stay aligned with the latest legal developments in Malaysia.

Why Privacy Matters at Welcom88

Your Data Is Not Our Product – It Is a Trust We Uphold

When you register with Welcom88, you entrust us with more than just your money — you also share sensitive personal information such as your name, phone number, email address, and payment account details. We understand the weight of that trust and take the responsibility that comes with it seriously.

In today's digital age, personal data is incredibly valuable. Some platforms treat user data as an additional revenue stream by selling it to advertisers or third parties. Welcom88 does not operate that way. Our business model is straightforward – we provide a high-quality entertainment platform and generate revenue from gaming activity on the platform. Your data is not part of our revenue equation.

This Privacy Policy is written in plain, easy-to-understand language so that every Malaysian Welcom88 member can read and genuinely understand how their data is handled — rather than simply nodding along to a dense legal document without knowing what it actually says.

This Privacy Policy explains how Welcom88 collects, uses, stores, and protects members' personal data. By registering for or using the Welcom88 platform, you agree to the practices described in this document. Please read it carefully.

1

What Personal Data Does Welcom88 Collect?

Welcom88 collects various types of personal data in the course of providing its online entertainment platform services to members. This data is collected through several means – directly from you during registration and platform use, as well as automatically through technologies used in the operation of the platform.

Data you provide directly to Welcom88:

  • Full name as it appears on your official identification document (MyKad or passport).
  • An active Malaysian mobile number for account verification and communication purposes.
  • A valid, active email address for account communications, transaction notifications, and promotions.
  • Date of birth for age verification purposes (18 and above), as required by Welcom88.
  • Payment account information — e-wallet account number (Touch 'n Go, GrabPay, Boost, ShopeePay), DuitNow registered phone number, or bank account number for FPX.
  • Additional identification details may be requested for KYC (Know Your Customer) verification purposes, including a copy of your MyKad or passport where required.

Data collected automatically when you use the Welcom88 platform:

  • The IP address of the device used to access Welcom88.
  • Device type, operating system, and browser version.
  • Platform activity data — games played, session duration, bets placed, and transaction records.
  • Technical log data for troubleshooting and platform improvement purposes.
  • General location information based on IP address (not precise GPS location).

Welcom88 does not collect credit card or debit card information directly. All payments are processed through licensed third-party payment processors that comply with PCI-DSS security standards.

How Is Your Personal Data Used?

Welcom88 uses your personal data only for legitimate, clearly stated purposes. We do not use your data for anything beyond the scope described here without obtaining your separate consent.

How Does Welcom88 Store & Protect Your Data?

The security of members' personal data is Welcom88's top technical priority. We continuously invest in security infrastructure to keep your data safe against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.

Technical security measures we employ:

  • 256-bit SSL/TLS Encryption: All communications between your device and Welcom88's servers are encrypted using the latest SSL/TLS protocols, ensuring data cannot be intercepted in transit.
  • Database encryption: Sensitive data stored in Welcom88's databases – including personal and financial information – is encrypted using high-grade encryption algorithms.
  • Tiered access controls: Only Welcom88 staff with a legitimate business need are granted access to members' personal data, and all such access is fully monitored and logged.
  • Real-time threat monitoring: Intrusion detection systems and unusual activity monitoring operate 24 hours a day to detect and respond to any security threats promptly.
  • Layered data backup: Member data is backed up regularly to a secure, separate location to ensure rapid data recovery in the event of any unforeseen incident.
  • Regular security audits: Welcom88 conducts periodic security audits by independent third parties to identify and address any potential security vulnerabilities.

While Welcom88 employs best-in-class security measures, no system can be guaranteed 100% secure against all cyber threats. We encourage members to practise good security hygiene as well — use a strong password, enable two-factor authentication (2FA), and never share your login credentials with anyone.

4

Does Welcom88 Share Your Data with Others?

Welcom88 does not sell or rent members' personal data to any third party. This is an unwavering policy. However, in the normal course of platform operations, there are specific situations where Welcom88 needs to share personal data with certain parties — and this is done within a limited and controlled scope.

Parties that may receive your personal data within a limited scope:

  • Licensed payment processors: To process deposits and withdrawals via Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay, Boost, ShopeePay, DuitNow, or FPX (Maybank2u / CIMB Clicks), only the minimum necessary transaction information is shared with the relevant payment processor. All payment processors partnering with Welcom88 are licensed entities that comply with Malaysian financial security standards.
  • Technical service providers: Companies that provide technical infrastructure services to Welcom88 may have limited access to data in the course of delivering those services. All such companies are bound by strict data protection agreements with Welcom88.
  • Game providers: Gaming platforms from Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, and other providers operating within Welcom88 may receive minimal user data for the technical purposes of running their games, subject to their respective privacy policies, which are also bound by industry standards.
  • Legal authorities: Welcom88 may be required by law or court order to disclose members' personal data to relevant authorities such as the police, tax authorities, or regulatory bodies. Such disclosures are made only where a legitimate legal obligation exists, and Welcom88 will endeavour to notify the affected member where permitted to do so.

In all of the above cases, Welcom88 ensures that only the minimum necessary data is shared, and that recipients are bound by appropriate confidentiality and data protection obligations.

Cookies, Tracking Technologies & Your Choices

Welcom88 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance user experience, maintain session security, and understand how members use our platform. Below is an explanation of the types of cookies we use:

  • Essential Cookies: These cookies are essential for the basic operation of the Welcom88 platform – including login session management, security, and platform integrity. The platform cannot function properly without them and they cannot be disabled.
  • Functional Cookies: These cookies store your preferences such as interface language, last betting limit, and display settings to improve your experience on the Welcom88 platform.
  • Analytics Cookies: Welcom88 uses anonymised analytics data to understand platform usage patterns, identify technical issues, and make data-driven decisions about platform improvements. This data contains no information that could personally identify any individual.

You can manage and control cookie settings through your browser settings. Please note, however, that disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality and security of the Welcom88 platform. For guidance on managing cookies in your browser, please refer to your browser's help documentation.

Welcom88 does not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking technologies. Your behavioural data on the Welcom88 platform is not shared with any advertising network.

6

Privacy in Financial Transactions

As the Welcom88 platform involves real financial transactions in MYR, the privacy of members' financial information receives the highest level of attention and protection across all our operations.

When you make a deposit or withdrawal via Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay, Boost, ShopeePay, DuitNow QR, or FPX internet banking (Maybank2u, CIMB Clicks), the payment process takes place directly between you and the respective payment provider through a secure channel. Welcom88 does not store your PIN, password, or any e-wallet or internet banking authentication credentials.

Financial transaction records retained by Welcom88 include:

  • Date and time of transaction.
  • Transaction amount in MYR.
  • Transaction type (deposit or withdrawal).
  • Payment method used (e-wallet platform or bank name).
  • Transaction status (successful, in progress, or failed).
  • Transaction reference number generated by the Welcom88 system.

These transaction records are required for legal compliance, dispute resolution, and customer support purposes. All financial records are protected to the same security standards as other personal data – full encryption, strict access controls, and regular audits.

8

Data Retention & Deletion

Welcom88 does not retain your personal data longer than necessary for the stated purposes. Different retention periods apply to different data types based on legal and operational requirements:

  • Active account data: Retained for the duration your account remains active with Welcom88, and for a specified period after account closure to allow for the resolution of any outstanding disputes.
  • Financial transaction records: Retained for a minimum of seven (7) years from the transaction date, in accordance with applicable financial and tax legislation in Malaysia.
  • Identity verification records (KYC): Retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of last verification or account closure, whichever is later, in accordance with anti-money laundering legal requirements.
  • Technical log data: Typically retained for 90 days for technical troubleshooting and security purposes, after which it is automatically deleted.
  • Customer support communication data: Retained for three (3) years from the date the case is resolved, for reference and service improvement purposes.

When data is no longer needed and there is no legal obligation to retain it, Welcom88 will securely delete or anonymise it using industry-standard secure deletion methods.

9

Children's Privacy & Underage Users

The Welcom88 platform is intended exclusively for users aged 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect any personal data from individuals under the age of 18. All registration processes on Welcom88 require age verification, and any account suspected of belonging to an underage user will be suspended immediately while a review is conducted.

If you are a parent or guardian who believes your child under the age of 18 has registered or attempted to register an account on Welcom88, please contact us immediately at support@welcom88.com. We will take prompt action to investigate and, if confirmed, close the account and delete all associated data without delay.

Welcom88 takes child protection seriously. Registration or use of the platform by individuals under the age of 18 is a serious violation that may result in legal action against the responsible party.

10

Changes to Welcom88's Privacy Policy

Welcom88 may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our privacy practices, service updates, or changes in applicable legal requirements. When significant changes occur, Welcom88 will:

  • Updating the "Last Updated" date displayed at the top of this page.
  • Notifying members via in-platform notifications or email to their registered address for changes that have a material impact on their privacy rights.
  • In the case of highly significant changes, Welcom88 may seek fresh consent from you before those changes apply to the processing of your data.

It is your responsibility to review this Privacy Policy page periodically to stay informed of any changes made. Continued use of the Welcom88 platform after changes take effect will be considered acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy, unless you have expressly withdrawn your consent.

Contact Welcom88 About Data Privacy

If you have any questions or concerns, or wish to exercise any of your privacy rights as outlined in Section 7 of this document, please reach out to the Welcom88 Privacy Team through the following channels:

  • Email: support@welcom88.com – include the subject line "Data Privacy Request" and clearly state the details of your request.
  • Live Chat: Available 24/7 within the Welcom88 platform – for general privacy enquiries or to initiate a data request.

Welcom88 is committed to responding to all data privacy enquiries within 21 working days from the date the request is received. For more complex requests requiring a deeper review, additional time may be needed, and we will keep you informed of the expected timeframe.

When submitting a data privacy request, you may be asked to verify your identity to ensure we are processing the request for the right person and protecting your privacy from unauthorised parties.

This Privacy Policy is governed by Malaysian law, specifically the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA). Any dispute relating to personal data processing that cannot be resolved directly with Welcom88 may be referred to the Department of Personal Data Protection Malaysia.

Understanding Welcom88's Privacy Policy – What You Need to Know as a Malaysian Player

For many Malaysian players on online entertainment platforms, privacy is often a quiet concern — something they worry about but aren't quite sure how to ask or where to check. We get that, which is why we've written this Welcom88 Privacy Policy in plain, straightforward language rather than lengthy, confusing legal jargon.

The question we hear most from new members is — "Is my information safe with Welcom88?" The short answer: yes, and here's why. Welcom88 uses 256-bit SSL encryption across all data communications. This means every time you log in, make a deposit via Touch 'n Go eWallet or GrabPay, or withdraw via DuitNow, all data travelling between your device and our servers is fully encrypted. That's the same level of encryption used by Malaysia's major banks, including Maybank and CIMB.

The second question we often hear is – "Will Welcom88 sell my data to advertisers?" The answer is no, and we state this clearly in this Privacy Policy. Welcom88's business model is built on providing a quality gaming platform – not on selling user data. Every ringgit Welcom88 earns comes from gaming activity on the platform, not from selling information about who you are to third parties.

We also want you to understand your rights. Under Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010, you have the right to access your personal data, request a correction if anything is inaccurate, and in certain circumstances, request that we delete your data. These are not merely rights on paper — we have a clear process to help you exercise them when needed. Simply contact us at support@welcom88.com or via the in-platform live chat.

One thing we want to make clear to members who use Malaysian e-wallets for deposits and withdrawals at Welcom88 — we do not store sensitive details from your e-wallet account, such as your PIN or password. When you make a deposit via Touch 'n Go or GrabPay, the transaction takes place within your own e-wallet app, not on the Welcom88 platform. All we record is the fact that a transaction occurred, the amount, and its status — the same information you would see in your own e-wallet transaction history.

We also want to be clear that Welcom88 fully respects your communication preferences. If you do not wish to receive promotional emails about bonuses, the latest offers, or tournaments we run, you can unsubscribe at any time — either via the unsubscribe link in the email or by informing our support team. Choosing not to receive promotional emails will not affect your account or the service you receive from Welcom88 in any way.

FAQ – Welcom88 Privacy Policy

The most frequently asked questions from Malaysian members about data privacy at Welcom88.

No. Welcom88 does not store your bank card number, e-wallet PIN, or internet banking password. All deposits made via Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay, Boost, ShopeePay, DuitNow, or FPX (Maybank2u / CIMB Clicks) are processed directly through your own e-wallet or internet banking platform. Welcom88 only receives confirmation that a payment was successful from the payment processor — we never see or store your payment account access details. This is standard security practice, ensuring that your most sensitive financial information remains securely held by your own licensed payment provider.

To request a copy of the personal data Welcom88 holds about you, send an email to support@welcom88.com with the subject line "Personal Data Access Request". In your email, include your Welcom88 account number, registered full name, and the phone number linked to your account. We may ask you to verify your identity first to ensure we are sending data to the right person. Once verification is complete, we will provide your personal data report within 21 business days. There is no charge for the first data access request made in each calendar year.

Yes, you may request deletion of your personal data from Welcom88's systems under certain circumstances. However, deletion requests may not be fully fulfilled where there are legal obligations requiring us to retain specific data — for example, financial transaction records must be kept for a minimum of seven years under Malaysian financial law. For data not subject to such legal obligations, Welcom88 will delete or anonymise it within 30 days of the request being verified. Please contact support@welcom88.com with the subject line "Data Deletion Request" to initiate this process.

No. Welcom88 does not use your personal data or behavioural data to target advertisements on other platforms — whether on social media, other websites, or any advertising network. We do not partner with any third-party advertising networks that use user data for cross-platform advertising. When you leave the Welcom88 platform, no information about you is shared with external parties for marketing or advertising purposes. This is a non-negotiable part of Welcom88's privacy commitment.

When you close your Welcom88 account, your personal data will not be deleted immediately, as certain legal obligations require us to retain specific records for defined periods. Financial transaction records must be kept for seven years, and identity verification records for five years, in accordance with Malaysian law. Account data and gaming activity that are not subject to legal retention obligations will be deleted or anonymised within 90 days of account closure. Data retained for legal reasons will be protected in the same manner as when your account was active, and will not be used for any other purpose.

Welcom88 takes a proactive approach to preventing data breach incidents. Preventive measures include multi-layered encryption, 24/7 security monitoring, regular third-party audits, and ongoing staff training on data security practices. Should a data security incident affecting members' personal data occur despite these measures, Welcom88 is committed to notifying affected members and the relevant authorities within the timeframe required by law. We will also take immediate steps to contain the incident, assess its impact, and prevent recurrence. Transparency in the face of security incidents is part of Welcom88's privacy commitment to Malaysian members.

Summary of Welcom88's Privacy Commitments

We use 256-bit SSL encryption, do not sell data to third parties, comply with Malaysia's PDPA, and give you full control over your personal data.
