Data & Privacy
Winning88 Privacy Policy
At Winning88, your personal data is handled with the same care and security we apply to your funds. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, and what rights you hold as a Winning88 account holder in Malaysia and beyond.
Our Principles
Privacy at a Glance
A quick summary of how Winning88 treats your data. These highlights do not replace the full policy — please read the complete document below.
All personal data transmitted between your device and our servers is protected by 256-bit SSL encryption. Data at rest is stored on access-controlled, encrypted infrastructure — the same standard used by major financial institutions.
Winning88 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party advertisers or data brokers. Your data is shared only where strictly necessary for platform operation, payment processing, or legal compliance.
As a Winning88 account holder, you have the right to access, correct, and in certain circumstances request deletion of your personal data. Submit a request through our 24/7 support team and we will respond within 30 days.
We collect only the data we actually need to operate the platform, process your transactions, conduct KYC verification, and comply with our licensing and anti-money laundering obligations. We do not collect data speculatively.
Personal data is retained for the minimum period required by our operational and legal obligations. Account data is typically retained for a period of 5 years following account closure in compliance with applicable anti-money laundering record-keeping requirements.
Winning88 operates in accordance with applicable data protection legislation and international best-practice frameworks for personal data handling, including principles of purpose limitation, data minimisation, and storage limitation.

7.2 Legal and Regulatory Disclosure
Winning88 may disclose personal data to governmental authorities, law enforcement agencies, financial intelligence units, or licensing regulators where required by law, court order, or regulatory directive.

7.3 Business Transfers
In the event of a merger, acquisition, corporate restructuring, or sale of assets, personal data held by Winning88 may be transferred to the acquiring entity, subject to equivalent privacy protections being maintained. Affected users will be notified of any material change in data controller identity.

Winning88 retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, and to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations. The following general retention periods apply:

Once data is no longer required for any of the above purposes, it is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised in accordance with our data disposal procedures.
Data Security
Winning88 implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, destruction, alteration, or disclosure. Our security framework includes:
- Encryption in Transit: All data exchanged between your device and our servers is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher with 256-bit SSL certificates, ensuring that data cannot be intercepted in transit.
- Encryption at Rest: Sensitive personal data stored on our infrastructure is encrypted at rest using industry-standard encryption protocols.
- Access Controls: Access to systems containing personal data is restricted to authorised personnel only, on a strict need-to-know basis, enforced through role-based access controls and multi-factor authentication.
- Infrastructure Security: Our platform is hosted on secure, access-controlled cloud infrastructure with regular security patching, intrusion detection monitoring, and vulnerability scanning.
- Data Breach Response: Winning88 maintains an incident response procedure for data security breaches. In the event of a breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, affected users will be notified as soon as reasonably practicable, and the relevant regulatory authority will be informed where required by law.
Whilst Winning88 takes all reasonable precautions to safeguard your data, no system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You are also responsible for maintaining the security of your own account credentials and device. Please ensure you use a strong, unique password for your Winning88 account and do not share it with anyone.
User Rights
As a data subject whose personal data is processed by Winning88, you hold a number of rights in relation to your data. These rights are set out below. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our support team at [email protected] or via live chat. We will respond to verified requests within 30 days.
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you and information about how it is being processed. This is commonly known as a Subject Access Request (SAR).
If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct or update it without undue delay.
In certain circumstances, you may request that we delete your personal data — for example, where it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and no legal retention obligation applies.
You may request that we restrict processing of your data in specific circumstances — for example, while the accuracy of data you have contested is being verified.
Where we process your data on the basis of legitimate interests, you have the right to object to that processing. You may also object to processing for direct marketing purposes at any time.
Where processing is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing conducted prior to withdrawal.
Children & Minors
The Winning88 platform is strictly for individuals aged 21 years and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from persons under the age of 21. Our registration process requires users to declare their age, and KYC verification is mandatory before withdrawal of funds.
If Winning88 becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under the age of 21, the relevant account will be immediately suspended, the data will be deleted as soon as practicable, and any deposited funds will be returned to the source payment method in accordance with our responsible gambling policy.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has registered an account on Winning88, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so that we may take prompt action.
Third-Party Services
The Winning88 platform may reference or interact with third-party services, including payment providers such as Touch 'n Go eWallet, Boost, GrabPay, Maybank2u, CIMB Clicks, Public Bank, Hong Leong Connect, DuitNow, and FPX. Each of these services operates under its own privacy policy and terms of use.
Winning88 is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party service providers. When you interact with a payment provider's interface — for example, completing a bank transfer through your Maybank2u app — you are subject to that provider's data practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you use in connection with your Winning88 account.
Winning88 does not include third-party tracking pixels, advertising SDKs, or social media embeds on our platform that would result in your data being shared with those third parties without your knowledge.
Policy Amendments
Winning88 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable laws, or platform functionality. Revised versions of this Policy will be published on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
Where amendments are material in nature — for example, where we introduce a new category of data collection or a new purpose for processing — we will endeavour to provide advance notice through platform notifications or email communication to registered account holders.
Your continued use of the Winning88 platform following the publication of an amended Privacy Policy constitutes your acknowledgement of the updated terms. If you do not agree with any amendment, you should discontinue your use of the platform and may request account closure by contacting our support team.
We recommend reviewing this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed of how your personal data is being handled by Winning88.
