Your personal data belongs to you. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what information playme8 collects, why we collect it, how we protect it, and what rights you have over your own data as a registered player on our platform.
Registration details, transaction records, device data, and usage behaviour — only what we need to operate your account.
To verify your identity, process payments, deliver services, fulfil legal obligations, and improve your experience on the platform.
Selected payment processors, KYC/AML partners, and regulatory bodies — never sold to third-party advertisers.
Access, correct, restrict, and request deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting our support team.
playme8 ("we", "us", "our") operates the online gaming and sports betting platform accessible at https://playme8.cam (the "Platform"). We are committed to protecting the personal data of all individuals who register accounts, visit the Platform, or otherwise interact with our services, including players located across Malaysia — from Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya to Penang, Johor Bahru, and Shah Alam.
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") sets out how playme8 collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects your personal data in connection with your use of the Platform. It also explains the rights you hold in relation to your personal data and how you may exercise those rights.
By registering an account on the Platform, making a deposit, placing a wager, or otherwise accessing our services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy and consent to the processing of your personal data as described herein. This Policy should be read alongside our Terms & Conditions and Responsible Gambling Policy, all of which form part of the agreement between you and playme8.

We share transaction data with our integrated payment partners — including providers supporting DuitNow, FPX, Touch 'n Go eWallet, Boost, GrabPay, Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank, Hong Leong, and cryptocurrency processing — solely for the purpose of processing deposits and withdrawals on your behalf.
We engage accredited third-party KYC and anti-money laundering service providers to assist with identity verification. These partners process the personal data you submit during KYC strictly for verification purposes and are contractually bound to maintain confidentiality.
We are required by law to disclose certain personal data to regulatory bodies, law enforcement agencies, or courts of competent jurisdiction upon receipt of a lawful request. Such disclosures will be made only to the extent required and in accordance with applicable legal procedures.
playme8 engages carefully selected third-party service providers — such as cloud infrastructure providers, customer support software vendors, and analytics platforms — who process personal data strictly on our instructions and under binding data processing agreements.
The Platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enable essential functionality, remember your preferences, maintain session security, and collect anonymised analytics data that helps us improve the platform experience.

playme8 implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our key security controls include:
As a data subject, you hold the following rights in relation to your personal data processed by playme8.

Please note that certain rights may be subject to limitations where data is required for legal compliance, fraud prevention, or the fulfilment of contractual obligations. We will notify you of any applicable limitations when responding to a rights request.
The Platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 years and above. playme8 does not knowingly collect or process personal data relating to individuals under the age of 21. Age verification is conducted during account registration and KYC processes.
If we become aware that personal data has been collected from an individual under the age of 21, we will take immediate steps to delete that data, close the associated account, and refund any deposits in accordance with our terms. If you believe that a minor has registered on the Platform, please contact us immediately at [email protected].
As an internationally operating platform, playme8 may transfer certain personal data to third-party processors located outside your country of residence, including cloud infrastructure and KYC/AML service providers operating in other jurisdictions.
Any such international transfer will be made only where appropriate safeguards are in place to ensure that your personal data receives a comparable level of protection to that afforded under applicable data protection legislation. Where required, we implement standard contractual clauses or equivalent transfer mechanisms to legitimise such transfers.
playme8 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time. When material changes are made, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, where practicable, notify registered players directly via email or in-platform notification.
Your continued use of the Platform following the publication of a revised Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your personal data. Previous versions of this Policy are available upon written request to [email protected].
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests relating to this Privacy Policy or the processing of your personal data by playme8, please contact our Data Privacy team through the following channel. We are committed to responding to all privacy-related enquiries promptly and transparently.
playme8 aims to respond to all data rights requests within 30 days of receipt. Where a request is complex or involves a large volume of data, we may extend this period by up to a further 30 days, in which case we will notify you of the extension and the reasons for it. Our multilingual support team serves players across Malaysia — from Kuala Lumpur to Penang and Johor Bahru — and is available around the clock.
Six commitments that shape how we handle personal data every day — from registration through to account closure.
Every data transmission between your device and the Platform is protected by 256-bit TLS/SSL encryption. Sensitive data stored on our servers is encrypted at rest, including all KYC documents and financial records.
We collect only what we genuinely need. If a piece of personal data is not required to operate your account, process your payment, or fulfil a legal obligation, we do not collect it — full stop.
Your personal data is never sold, rented, or traded to third-party advertisers or unrelated commercial entities. Data sharing is strictly limited to operational necessities and legal obligations.
Access, correct, restrict, export, or delete your personal data at any time by contacting support. We respond to verified data rights requests within 30 days — no bureaucratic runaround.
We keep your data only as long as necessary. Once the legally required retention period expires, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised — it does not sit on our systems indefinitely.
This Policy explains exactly what we collect, why, and with whom we share it. When this Policy changes in a material way, we notify registered players directly and publish the update promptly.
