This Privacy Policy explains how ma888 collects, processes, stores, and protects the personal data of players and visitors. We are committed to handling your information responsibly and transparently.
ma888 collects only the personal data necessary to operate the Platform, verify your identity, process transactions, and fulfil our regulatory obligations. We do not collect data for collection's sake.
Personal data stored by ma888 is protected using industry-standard encryption both in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest. Access to personal data is restricted to authorised personnel with a legitimate operational need.
You have the right to access, correct, and request deletion of your personal data held by ma888, subject to our legal retention obligations. Requests are processed within 30 days of receipt.
ma888 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for marketing purposes. Data shared with third parties is limited to what is required for service operation and regulatory compliance.
ma888 retains personal data only for as long as required to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as mandated by our gaming licence and applicable law — typically five years from account closure.
Privacy enquiries, data subject access requests, and correction requests are handled by the ma888 compliance team. Contact us via Live Chat or in writing at [email protected] for prompt assistance.

References to "ma888", "we", "us", or "our" in this Privacy Policy refer to the ma888 platform operator in its capacity as the data controller responsible for the personal data of Players and visitors.
This Privacy Policy governs the collection and processing of personal data by ma888 in connection with the operation of the Platform, including the casino, sportsbook, slots, lottery, and all supporting services accessible at https://ma888.app. It applies to all registered Players and to unregistered visitors who interact with the Platform.
By accessing the Platform, creating an account, or continuing to use ma888 services after this policy has been communicated to you, you acknowledge that you have read and understood how ma888 processes your personal data as described herein.
When you create a ma888 account, we collect the information you provide directly during the registration process, including your Malaysian mobile number and chosen account password (stored in hashed form; the plaintext password is never retained).

Biometric data is not extracted or processed from submitted identification documents.
ma888 collects data relating to your financial transactions on the Platform, including deposit amounts, withdrawal requests, payment method identifiers (such as masked bank account or e-wallet references), and transaction timestamps.

We automatically collect data about your interactions with the Platform, including: game sessions, wagers placed and settled, login and logout timestamps, device type and operating system, browser type, and IP address. This data is used for account security, responsible gaming monitoring, and platform performance optimisation.

The ma888 Platform is strictly restricted to individuals aged 21 years and above. ma888 does not knowingly collect or process personal data of individuals under the age of 21. Where ma888 becomes aware that personal data has been collected from an underage individual, the relevant account will be closed and the associated data deleted in accordance with Section 8 above, subject to any overriding legal obligation to retain records of the underage registration for regulatory reporting purposes.
Parents and guardians who believe an underage individual has created a ma888 account are encouraged to contact [email protected] immediately so that appropriate action can be taken.

ma888 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time. Where changes are material — for example, changes to the categories of data collected, the purposes for which data is processed, or the rights available to Players — ma888 will notify registered Players via SMS to their registered Malaysian mobile number or by a prominent notice on the Platform prior to the changes taking effect.
