01

Introduction

M8Bets is fully committed to protecting user privacy. This Privacy Policy is drafted in accordance with Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) and explains how we handle all information you provide when using the platform.

When you register an account, make a transaction, or simply browse the M8Bets website, certain information is collected automatically or voluntarily provided by you. We take this trust seriously — your data is not a commodity, it is our responsibility.

This policy applies to all M8Bets platform users regardless of access method — whether through our official website or mobile app. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please discontinue use of the platform immediately.

02

Information Collected

M8Bets collects your personal information through several means depending on how you interact with the platform. Below is a summary of the types of data we collect:

Data Category Example Information Collection Method

Contact Information Phone number, email address, residential address Account registration
Financial Data Bank account number, digital wallet information Deposit/withdrawal processing
Usage Data Gaming history, wagering habits, session duration Automatically during use

We only collect information that is genuinely necessary for the stated purposes. This data minimisation principle means we do not request excessive or irrelevant information beyond the services you use.

03

How We Use Your Data

All information collected is used for specific, legitimate purposes. m8bets does not use your data for any other purpose without notifying you in advance. Below are the primary purposes for data use:

  • Account Management: Creating, maintaining, and managing your account, including the required identity verification (KYC) process.
  • Transaction Processing: Ensuring every deposit and withdrawal is processed accurately, securely, and promptly to your chosen payment method.
  • Platform Security: Detecting and preventing fraud, money laundering, unauthorised access, and platform abuse.
  • Customer Support: Enabling our team to handle enquiries, complaints, and support requests more effectively.

  • Platform Communications: Sending important account-related notifications, security updates, and promotional information you have agreed to receive.
  • Legal Compliance: Meeting legal and regulatory obligations applicable to our platform's operations.
M8Bets does not use your data to make automated decisions that materially affect your rights without human review. You have the right to request an explanation for any decision that impacts your account.
04

Information Sharing with Third Parties

M8Bets does not sell or rent your personal data to any third party for marketing purposes. However, there are limited situations where sharing information is necessary to keep the platform functioning properly:

  • Payment Providers: Transaction information is shared with approved payment service providers solely for the purpose of processing your deposits and withdrawals.
  • KYC Services: Identity data is shared with authorised third-party identity verification partners to meet compliance requirements.
  • Technical Infrastructure: Cloud and hosting service providers that store your data are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.
  • Regulatory Authorities: M8Bets will disclose information to law enforcement agencies or regulatory bodies when required by applicable law.

All third parties involved are required to uphold the same data protection standards as M8Bets and are prohibited from using your data for any purpose other than what is specified in our agreement with them.

05

Data Security

M8Bets continuously invests in multi-layered security infrastructure to keep your personal data protected at all times. The key security measures we have in place include:

  • 256-bit SSL Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and our servers is protected using the same industry-standard encryption used by banking institutions.
  • Hashed Password Storage: Your password is stored in an irreversible hashed form — even our internal team cannot read your password.
  • Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): An additional security layer is available for all accounts to prevent unauthorised access.
  • 24/7 Monitoring: A real-time threat detection system operates around the clock to identify and block suspicious activity.
  • Regular Security Testing: Security audits and penetration testing are conducted periodically by independent security experts.
While we take all reasonable precautions, no digital system can be guaranteed 100% secure. In the event of a data breach affecting your information, we will notify you within 72 hours of becoming aware of the incident.
