Open88's Six Privacy Commitments to Malaysian Players

Before reading the full policy, familiarise yourself with the six core commitments that guide how open88 handles your personal data.

256-bit SSL Encryption For All Data

Every piece of information you send to or receive from the open88 platform is protected by industry-standard 256-bit SSL encryption — the same security technology used by Malaysia's leading banking institutions such as Maybank and CIMB.

No Sale of Data to Third Parties

Open88 never sells, rents, or shares members' personal information with advertisers, data brokers, or any third party for marketing purposes. Your data belongs to you — it is not a commodity for our business.

Minimum Necessary Data Collection Only

Open88 only collects data that is genuinely necessary to operate your account, process payments via Touch 'n Go, GrabPay, DuitNow, or FPX, and maintain platform security. We do not collect excessive or irrelevant data.

Restricted & Controlled Internal Data Access

Only open88 staff who require access to specific data to carry out their authorised duties are permitted to view it. Access is controlled through a multi-layered permissions system, and all access to sensitive data is logged for audit purposes.

Your Right to Access & Delete Your Data

As an open88 member, you have the full right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, correct any inaccurate information, or request deletion of your data from our systems, subject to applicable legal retention requirements.

Immediate Notification in the Event of a Data Breach

In the event of a security incident affecting the personal data of open88 members, we are committed to notifying affected members in a timely manner via their registered email address and to taking the necessary remediation steps promptly.

This Privacy Policy was last updated on 1 January 2026. By using the open88 platform, you agree to all provisions set out in this Privacy Policy.

1Introduction & Scope of the open88 Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy is published by open88 ("we", "the Platform" or "open88") and applies to all individuals who register, browse, or use the services of our online entertainment platform, accessible via the open88-khelo.com website along with all associated subdomains and mobile applications.

Open88 operates for users in Malaysia and is fully committed to protecting the privacy of every one of our members. We understand that your trust in open88 depends largely on your confidence that your personal information is handled responsibly, transparently, and securely.

This Privacy Policy is written in English and tailored specifically for players in Malaysia. It explains our privacy practices in a clear, straightforward manner — free of confusing legal jargon. If you have any questions after reading this document, the open88 support team is here to help.

By registering an account or continuing to use the open88 platform following any changes to this Privacy Policy, you agree to be bound by the terms set out in this document. If you do not agree with any part of this Privacy Policy, you are advised not to use open88's services.

2Types of Personal Data Collected by open88

Open88 collects your personal data through several channels — directly from you at registration, through your use of the platform, and automatically via standard tracking technologies. The following are the categories of data we collect:

Personal Identification Data (collected during registration):

  • Full name as stated on your official Malaysian identity document (MyKad or passport)
  • An active Malaysian phone number registered in your name
  • A valid and active email address
  • Date of birth (for age verification — members must be 18 years of age or older)
  • Identity verification documents (KYC), including a copy of your MyKad where required for account verification or large withdrawal processing

Financial & Transaction Data:

  • Deposit and withdrawal history, including amounts, dates, times, and payment methods used (Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay, Boost, ShopeePay, DuitNow, FPX via Maybank2u or CIMB Clicks)
  • EWallet or bank account number used for withdrawal processing
  • Records of bonuses and VIP rewards received

Platform Usage Data:

  • Gaming records including the types of games played (slots, Live Casino, sports betting on EPL, Malaysia Super League, badminton, e-sports), total wagers, wins, and losses
  • Time and duration of gaming sessions
  • Current VIP tier and tier progression history

Technical Data (collected automatically):

  • The IP address of your device at the time of accessing the open88 platform
  • Type and version of web browser or mobile application used
  • Device type (Android, iOS, laptop) and operating system
  • Cookie data and session identifiers to maintain your login experience
  • Pages visited and actions taken within the open88 platform

Open88 does not store full identification card numbers (MyKad) or bank account numbers directly in our database unless required for established KYC processes. Sensitive financial information is processed through secure, encrypted third-party payment channels.

3How open88 Uses Your Personal Data

Every piece of data collected by open88 has a specific and legitimate purpose. We use your personal data for the following:

  • Account Management: Creating, managing, and maintaining your open88 account, including the registration process, identity verification, password management, and account-related communications.
  • Payment Processing: Processing your deposits via Touch 'n Go, GrabPay, Boost, ShopeePay, DuitNow, or FPX, and securely and accurately managing withdrawals of winnings to your chosen payment method.
  • Gaming Services Provision: Enables you to access and play all games and services available on the open88 platform, including slots, Live Casino, and Sports Betting.
  • VIP Rewards Programme: Calculating and managing your VIP tier, processing automatic weekly cashback, activating VIP benefits, and connecting you with a personal account manager at eligible tiers.
  • Fraud Prevention & Security: Detecting and preventing fraudulent activity, multiple account creation, money laundering, and any misuse of the open88 platform that may harm other members.
  • Responsible Gaming: Monitoring gameplay patterns to identify players who may need support, and ensuring that self-control tools such as deposit limits and self-exclusion are functioning correctly.
  • Service Communications: Sending you important notifications about your account, changes to our terms, promotions you have opted into, and responses related to customer support.
  • Platform Improvements: Analysing usage data in aggregated, anonymised form to understand how members use the open88 platform and to make relevant improvements.

Open88 will not use your personal data for any purpose not stated above without first obtaining your additional consent.

4Legal Basis for Data Processing at open88

Open88 processes your personal data on valid legal bases in accordance with Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA). The legal basis we rely on depends on the purpose of processing:

  • Contract Performance: Data processing required to deliver the services you have requested — including managing your account, processing payments, and providing access to games — is necessary for the performance of the agreement between you and open88.
  • Legitimate Interests: open88 has a legitimate interest in processing data for fraud prevention, platform security, and service improvement purposes, provided this does not override your fundamental privacy rights.
  • Legal Obligation: Certain data processing — such as the retention of KYC records and financial transactions — is required to fulfil applicable legal and regulatory compliance obligations.
  • Consent: For optional marketing communications such as the latest promotions and exclusive open88 offers, we rely on your explicit consent. You may withdraw this consent at any time.

5Data Sharing with Third Parties

Open88 does not sell member personal data to any party. However, in the course of operating our business, there are situations where data must be shared with certain parties to enable our services to function:

  • Payment Service Providers: Required transaction information is shared with eWallet providers (Touch 'n Go, GrabPay, Boost, ShopeePay) and internet banking platforms (DuitNow, FPX via Maybank2u, CIMB Clicks) solely for the purpose of processing your deposits and withdrawals. These providers maintain their own privacy policies and are subject to Malaysian financial regulations.
  • Game Software Providers: Minimal technical data required to operate games — such as session identifiers and active bets — may be processed by the game software providers used by open88. All such providers are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.
  • Legal Authorities: open88 will disclose personal data to Malaysian authorities where required by a court order, valid legal process, or to assist in legitimate criminal investigations such as fraud or money laundering.
  • IT & Security Service Providers: Selected server infrastructure providers, anti-fraud services, and cybersecurity partners may have limited access to data strictly for technical operational purposes.

All third parties that receive data from open88 are bound by strict data confidentiality agreements and are only permitted to use that data for the specified purposes. open88 does not share member data with advertisers, marketing companies, or data brokers for any reason.

6Data Security Measures Implemented by open88

Open88 continuously invests in data security to protect our members' personal information. The following technical and organisational measures are in place:

  • Encryption in Transit: All communications between your device and open88's servers are protected using TLS 1.3 with 256-bit SSL encryption — the same security standard used by major banking institutions.
  • Storage Encryption: Sensitive data stored in the open88 database is encrypted at rest using industry-recognised encryption algorithms.
  • Internal Access Controls: Only open88 staff who require access to specific data to perform their duties are authorised to do so. A role-based access control system ensures the principle of least privilege is strictly followed.
  • Two-Factor Authentication: open88 administrative accounts and access to internal systems are protected by mandatory two-factor authentication (2FA).
  • Continuous Security Monitoring: open88's systems are monitored around the clock to detect suspicious activity, intrusion attempts, and any anomalies that may indicate a security threat.
  • Regular Security Audits: open88 conducts regular security assessments and penetration testing to identify and address vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.

While open88 takes all reasonable steps to protect your data, no security system can be guaranteed to be 100% foolproof. You also play an important role in keeping your account safe by using a strong password and never sharing your login credentials with anyone.

7Personal Data Retention Periods at open88

Open88 retains your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, or as required by applicable Malaysian law. The following is a guide to our retention periods:

  • Active Account Data: For as long as your account remains active with open88. Data is continuously updated to maintain accuracy.
  • Financial Transaction Records: Minimum 7 years from the transaction date, in accordance with applicable Malaysian financial and tax legal requirements.
  • KYC Documents: Minimum 5 years from the date of verification or from the date of account closure, whichever is later, in accordance with legal compliance requirements.
  • Technical Log Data: Typically 90 days for standard operational logs and up to 2 years for security-related logs or active investigations.
  • Data After Account Closure: After you close your open88 account, data that does not need to be retained for legal reasons will be deleted or anonymised within 90 days.

Data retained for legal reasons following account closure will not be used for marketing or platform operational purposes. It is held solely to fulfil compliance obligations and will be deleted once the mandatory retention period has expired.

10Protection of Children's Privacy

The open88 platform is strictly for individuals aged 18 and above. open88 does not knowingly collect any personal data from individuals under the age of 18.

If you are a parent or guardian who believes your underage child has registered an account with open88 or provided us with their personal information, please contact our support team immediately at support@open88-khelo.com. open88 will take prompt action to verify the situation, close the account in question, and delete any data collected from the minor.

Open88 applies an age verification process at registration and during withdrawal processing to ensure that only adults may use the platform. If you suspect that a minor is accessing the platform, please report it to us immediately.

11Cross-Border Data Transfers

In operating its platform, open88 may need to process or store members' personal data using server infrastructure located outside Malaysia. However, open88 takes appropriate measures to ensure such data transfers are adequately protected:

  • Data transfers are made only to jurisdictions with a level of data protection equivalent to or stricter than Malaysia's.
  • All third parties receiving open88 member data outside Malaysia are bound by data transfer agreements that meet the required data protection standards.
  • Encryption is applied to all data transferred across borders, regardless of the purpose of the transfer.

By using the open88 platform, you agree to the transfer of your personal data as described in this section, provided that all the protective measures stated herein are fully implemented by open88.

  • Sending email notifications to all registered members at least 7 days before changes take effect, for any significant amendments.
  • A clear notice will be displayed on the open88 platform homepage throughout the notification period.
