Welcome88 is committed to protecting the personal data of every player on our platform. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the rights available to you as a user of our services in Malaysia and internationally.
All data transmitted between your device and our servers is protected by industry-standard Transport Layer Security (TLS). Your personal information and payment details are encrypted end-to-end at all times.
Welcome88 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for marketing or commercial purposes. Your information is used solely to operate and improve the platform services you use.
Identity documents submitted for KYC verification are processed and stored on secure servers with strict access controls. Documents are retained only for as long as required by our compliance obligations.
You have the right to access, correct, restrict, or request deletion of your personal data at any time. Requests are handled by our support team within a reasonable timeframe and at no charge to you.
We use cookies strictly for platform functionality, session management, and analytics. We do not deploy advertising cookies or tracking pixels that follow you across unrelated third-party websites.
Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable regulatory and anti-money laundering obligations. Unused data is deleted on schedule.
Welcome88 (hereinafter referred to as "the Platform", "we", "us", or "our") operates the online gaming and sports betting services accessible at welcome88.cam. Welcome88 is firmly committed to safeguarding the privacy and personal data of all individuals who interact with our Platform, whether as registered players, visitors, or prospective users.
This Privacy Policy (the "Policy") describes in detail how Welcome88 collects, processes, stores, shares, and protects personal information in the course of delivering its services to users, with particular attention to the needs and rights of our Malaysian player base. This Policy applies to all personal data processed in connection with the Welcome88 Platform, including data collected via the website, live chat, email communications, and payment processing interactions.
Scope of this Policy: This Policy applies to all registered users and visitors of the Welcome88 Platform. By registering an account or using any Welcome88 service, you confirm that you have read and understood the practices described in this Privacy Policy. This Policy should be read alongside our Terms & Conditions.
Welcome88 processes personal data responsibly and in accordance with applicable data protection principles, including purpose limitation, data minimisation, accuracy, storage limitation, integrity, and confidentiality. We collect only what is genuinely necessary for the services we provide and retain it only for as long as legitimately required.
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, the following terms carry the meanings defined below:
Welcome88 collects personal data across several categories, depending on the nature of your interaction with the Platform. The following table summarises the primary categories of data collected and the context in which each is obtained:
| Data Category | Examples | Collected When |
|---|---|---|
| Identity Data | Full legal name, date of birth, nationality, MyKad / passport number | Registration, KYC verification |
| Contact Data | Email address, mobile phone number, residential address | Registration, account updates |
| Financial Data | Bank account details, e-wallet identifiers (Touch 'n Go, Boost, GrabPay, DuitNow, Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank, Hong Leong), cryptocurrency wallet addresses | Deposit, withdrawal requests, KYC |
| Transaction Data | Deposit and withdrawal history, bet records, game history, bonus activity, MYR balance movements | Ongoing platform use |
| Technical Data | IP address, device type, browser type and version, operating system, session tokens | Platform access, login events |
| Usage Data | Pages visited, game categories accessed, time on site, click behaviour, navigation paths | Ongoing platform interaction |
| Communications Data | Live chat transcripts, email correspondence, support ticket content | Customer support interactions |
| Verification Documents | Copies of MyKad, passport, proof of address, payment method screenshots | KYC verification requests |
Welcome88 does not intentionally collect sensitive personal data such as racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, or health information. In the event that such data is incidentally included in documents submitted for KYC (e.g., religion field on a Malaysian MyKad), it is noted but not processed for any purpose other than identity verification and is not stored separately.
4.1.1 The majority of personal data we process is provided directly by you in the course of using our Platform. This includes data entered during account registration, data submitted as part of KYC verification, payment details entered when making a deposit or requesting a withdrawal, and information provided when contacting our support team.
4.2.1 When you access and use the Welcome88 Platform, we automatically collect certain technical and usage data through server logs, cookies, and similar tracking technologies. This includes your IP address, browser type, device information, session duration, and navigation patterns within the Platform.
4.2.2 This automated data collection is necessary for Platform security, fraud detection, and the improvement of user experience. It does not require your active input and occurs as a natural function of accessing any web-based service.
4.3.1 In certain circumstances, Welcome88 may receive personal data from third-party service providers engaged to support Platform operations. These include payment processors who confirm transaction status, fraud prevention providers who flag suspicious activity patterns, and identity verification services used in the KYC process.
4.3.2 All third-party data providers engaged by Welcome88 are contractually obligated to handle personal data in compliance with applicable data protection standards and are permitted to use such data only for the purposes for which they were engaged.
Welcome88 processes personal data only for clearly defined, legitimate purposes. The following table outlines the primary purposes for which your data is processed:
| Purpose | Description |
|---|---|
| Account Management | Creating, maintaining, and administering your registered account, including login authentication and account security. |
| Identity Verification (KYC) | Confirming your identity and age (minimum 21 years) and verifying ownership of payment methods used for deposits and withdrawals. |
| Payment Processing | Facilitating deposits and withdrawal requests via approved MYR payment channels including DuitNow, FPX, Touch 'n Go eWallet, Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank, Boost, GrabPay, and cryptocurrency networks. |
| Customer Support | Responding to queries, resolving disputes, and providing assistance via live chat and email, using account and transaction history where relevant. |
| Fraud Prevention & Security | Detecting, investigating, and preventing fraudulent activity, money laundering, bonus abuse, and unauthorised account access. |
| Regulatory Compliance | Meeting anti-money laundering (AML), responsible gambling, and applicable data protection obligations imposed by our operating licence conditions. |
| Platform Improvement | Analysing aggregated, anonymised usage data to improve platform performance, game selection, and the overall user experience. |
| Responsible Gambling | Monitoring account activity patterns to identify potential problem gambling behaviours and provide timely intervention tools where appropriate. |
No Profiling for Third-Party Marketing: Welcome88 does not use personal data to build behavioural profiles for sale to third-party advertisers or marketers. Any promotional communications from Welcome88 relate solely to our own Platform services and are subject to your consent preferences.
Welcome88 processes personal data on one or more of the following legal bases, depending on the nature and purpose of the processing activity:
7.1 Welcome88 does not sell personal data to any third party. Data sharing occurs only in the limited circumstances described below, and always subject to appropriate contractual safeguards.
Financial data necessary to process deposit and withdrawal transactions is shared with the relevant payment service provider (e.g., FPX gateway operators, e-wallet platforms including Touch 'n Go, Boost, GrabPay, and DuitNow, and cryptocurrency network processors). Each provider receives only the data necessary to complete the specific transaction.
In the course of KYC verification, identity documents may be processed by a licensed third-party verification service. These providers act under strict data processing agreements and are not permitted to retain or reuse documents beyond the scope of the verification task.
Anonymised or pseudonymised technical data (such as IP addresses and device fingerprints) may be shared with fraud detection services to identify and prevent suspicious platform activity. No additional personal data is shared for this purpose.
Welcome88 may be required to disclose personal data to competent regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or courts of law where such disclosure is mandated by applicable law, regulatory obligation, or valid legal process. Welcome88 will notify the affected User of such disclosures to the extent permitted by law.
Legal advisors, auditors, and compliance consultants engaged by Welcome88 may access limited personal data as strictly necessary to perform their professional services. All such advisors are bound by confidentiality obligations.
8.1 As an internationally operated platform, Welcome88 may transfer personal data to, and process it in, countries outside of Malaysia. Where such transfers occur, Welcome88 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect personal data to a standard equivalent to that required in the jurisdiction of the Data Subject.
8.2 Safeguards employed for international data transfers include contractual clauses requiring receiving parties to maintain equivalent data protection standards, and organisational security measures governing server access and data handling procedures.
8.3 If you have questions about the safeguards applied to any specific international transfer of your personal data, please contact our Data Protection team via the details provided in Section 15.
9.1 Welcome88 retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was originally collected, or as required by applicable legal, regulatory, and compliance obligations. The following general retention guidelines apply:
9.2 Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised such that it can no longer be attributed to an identifiable individual.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by the Welcome88 Platform when you visit the site. They enable the Platform to recognise your device across sessions, maintain your login state, and gather anonymised usage data to improve service delivery.
Welcome88 does not deploy advertising cookies, social media tracking pixels, or cross-site tracking technologies. We do not use cookies to track your activity on websites outside of the Welcome88 Platform.
You may control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies stored by any website. Please note that blocking essential cookies may affect your ability to use certain Platform features, including the ability to remain logged in during a session.
As a Data Subject, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal data held by Welcome88. These rights are summarised below. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our support team as described in Section 15.
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data Welcome88 holds about you, along with information about how it is being used and with whom it has been shared.
If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that it be corrected or updated without undue delay.
In certain circumstances, you may request that your personal data be deleted. This right is subject to Welcome88's legal obligations — data required for regulatory compliance cannot be erased upon request alone.
You may request that processing of your personal data be restricted in specific circumstances — for example, while the accuracy of data is being contested or a deletion request is being assessed.
Where processing is carried out on the basis of consent or contractual necessity, you may request a copy of your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format for transfer to another service.
You have the right to object to processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interests, including any profiling activities. Welcome88 will cease such processing unless compelling legitimate grounds override your objection.
Exercising Your Rights: All rights requests must be submitted in writing to our support team. We will acknowledge your request within 5 business days and aim to fulfil it within 30 calendar days. Identity verification may be required before processing any rights request to prevent unauthorised access to a third party's data.
12.1 Welcome88 implements appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or disclosure. Security measures in place include: 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data in transit; secure server infrastructure with restricted access controls; regular security audits and vulnerability assessments; multi-factor authentication options for user accounts; and staff data protection training.
12.2 Notwithstanding the above, no method of electronic transmission or data storage is entirely free of security risk. While Welcome88 takes all reasonable precautions, we cannot provide an absolute guarantee of security for data transmitted over the internet.
12.3 In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to the rights and freedoms of affected users, Welcome88 will take prompt remedial action, notify relevant authorities where required by applicable law, and communicate with affected users in a timely and transparent manner.
13.1 Welcome88 is strictly intended for adult users aged 21 years and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. Age verification is a mandatory component of the account registration process.
13.2 If Welcome88 becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a minor — whether through false information provided during registration or any other means — the relevant account will be closed immediately. Any data collected from the minor will be deleted as promptly as technically and legally possible, subject to the obligation to retain records of the incident for compliance purposes.
13.3 If you believe that a minor has registered an account on the Welcome88 Platform, please notify us immediately via the contact details in Section 15. We take all such notifications seriously and will act promptly.
14.1 Welcome88 reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable legal requirements, or operational procedures. When material changes are made, we will notify registered users via their registered email address or through a prominent notice displayed upon next Platform login.
14.2 The effective date at the top of this Policy indicates when it was last reviewed and updated. We encourage all users to review this Policy periodically to remain informed of how their personal data is being handled. Continued use of the Platform following the effective date of any revision constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.

When submitting a formal data rights request, please include your registered username, a description of your request, and a copy of your identity document so that we can verify your identity before processing the request. This is a security measure to protect your data from unauthorised access.
