Effective Date: This Privacy Policy is the latest version, effective from 1 January 2026 and supersedes all previous versions.
When you sign up on any online platform — whether for shopping, banking, or entertainment — you are entrusting them with your personal information. That trust is not something we at ringgit88 take lightly. This Privacy Policy is more than a legal formality — it is a trust agreement between us and each of our 500,000+ members across Malaysia.
For Malaysians, the protection of personal data is governed by Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA). Under this Act, every organisation that collects and processes the personal data of Malaysians has clear legal obligations — covering how data is collected, how it is used, who it is shared with, how long it is retained, and individuals' rights to access or delete their data. ringgit88 complies with all principles set out in the PDPA as part of our commitment to Malaysian members.
The most important thing for you to know about how ringgit88 handling your data is the principle of "minimum necessity" — we only collect data that is genuinely required to deliver our services. When you register, we need your Malaysian phone number and a password. That is all it takes to get started. We do not ask for your full name, date of birth, or identity documents unless there is a specific legal compliance requirement, such as for large withdrawals or KYC verification. Compared to many other platforms that gather extensive data "for product improvement purposes", our approach is simpler and more respectful of your privacy.
In the context of financial transactions, ringgit88 works with Malaysian payment methods you already know and trust — DuitNow, Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay, Boost, ShopeePay, and FPX via Maybank2u or CIMB Clicks. Here is something important to understand: your bank account or digital wallet details are never stored on ringgit88 servers. When you make a deposit, your payment information is processed directly through a licensed, secure payment gateway — ringgit88 only receives confirmation that the transaction succeeded or failed, not your account details. This is an important additional layer of protection.
On the topic of sharing data with third parties — this is something that understandably concerns many users. The short answer from ringgit88 is: we do not sell your data, ever, to anyone. Your data may be shared with a limited set of service providers — payment processors to handle your transactions, game providers to run your gaming sessions, and legal authorities where required by Malaysian law. Every instance of data sharing is limited to what is strictly necessary, and all parties who receive your data are bound by data protection agreements.
One topic that is becoming increasingly important in this digital age is cookies. Ringgit88 uses cookies to keep the platform running smoothly — storing your login session so you don't have to sign in every time, remembering your language and display preferences, and helping our security systems flag suspicious activity. We keep cookie use to a minimum, each with a clear purpose. You can manage cookies through your web browser settings, though doing so may affect certain platform features.
Your rights as a data subject under the PDPA are something that ringgit88 deeply respects. You have the right to know what data we hold about you, to request corrections if any information is inaccurate, to object to the use of your data for marketing, and in certain circumstances, to request that your data be deleted. All such requests can be submitted by email to support@ringgit88.com and we will respond within 21 business days. This process is free of charge for the first request each year.
Finally, it should be noted that this Privacy Policy will be updated from time to time in response to changes in law, technology, or ringgit88's practices. Whenever material amendments are made, members will be notified by email or via an in-platform notification. We believe transparency is the foundation of trust — and trust is the foundation of the long-term relationship between ringgit88 and the millions of sports and casino enthusiasts across Malaysia whom we serve every day.
