How mari888 Protects Your Privacy

Six core data protection principles we uphold every day for all our Malaysian members

No Sale of Data to Third Parties

Mari888 never sells, rents, or shares your personal data with any third party for marketing or commercial purposes. The information you provide us is solely for use within the platform and will not be used for any other purpose without your explicit consent.

Personal Data Protection Act Compliance

All data management practices at mari888 are in full compliance with Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA). We have an officially appointed Data Protection Officer to ensure ongoing compliance and to handle all privacy-related enquiries from our members.

Secure & Controlled Data Storage

Your personal data is stored on servers protected by multiple layers of physical and digital security. Database access is restricted to staff with a role-based need, and all access is logged and periodically audited by our internal security team.

Full Rights to Access, Amend & Delete

You have full rights to access, correct, and request deletion of any personal data we hold about you. Requests to access or update your account information can be submitted through your account settings or by contacting the mari888 support team, available 24/7 in Bahasa Melayu.

Prompt Data Breach Notification

In the event of any security incident involving your personal data, mari888 is committed to notifying you within 72 hours of becoming aware of it – in line with international data protection best practices. We will also explain the steps we are taking to resolve the matter.

Important Note: This Privacy Policy describes our data collection and usage practices. By registering for or using the mari888 platform, you agree to the terms set out in this document. Please read this policy carefully in its entirety. If you have any questions, our support team is available in Bahasa Melayu 24/7.

1Introduction

Mari888 is an online Sports Betting and casino platform operating exclusively for users in Malaysia. We understand that your trust in us depends not only on the quality of our services, but also on how responsibly and transparently we handle your personal information.

This Privacy Policy was drafted in compliance with Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) and international best practices in data protection. It applies to all information collected by mari888 through the website https://mari888.xyz, our mobile app, and all related services operated under the mari888 brand.

We want you to have a full understanding of what we do with your data, why we need it, who may have access to it, and how long we retain it. This transparency is part of mari888's commitment to our more than 850,000 members across Malaysia – from the Klang Valley all the way to Sabah and Sarawak.

Effective from: January 2026. This version supersedes all previous Privacy Policy versions published by mari888.

2Personal Data We Collect

In the course of providing our services, mari888 collects several categories of personal data. We only collect data that is genuinely necessary for the stated purposes – we do not collect information in excess of what is needed.

2.1 Data You Provide Directly

Information you provide when registering an account, updating your profile, or contacting our support team includes:

  • An active Malaysian phone number (used as your primary account identifier)
  • Full name as shown on your identity document (for withdrawal verification purposes)
  • Date of birth (for minimum age verification of 18 years)
  • Email address (for notifications and official communications)
  • Your registered payment method details — account name for Touch 'n Go, DuitNow, GrabPay, FPX, Boost, ShopeePay, Maybank2u or CIMB Clicks
  • Identity verification document (National ID or passport) when required for identity verification on withdrawals exceeding RM 10,000

2.2 Automatically Collected Data

When you use the mari888 platform, our systems automatically record certain technical information required to keep the platform running smoothly and securely:

  • Your device's IP address at the time of login
  • Web browser type and operating system version in use
  • Device information – the type of smartphone or computer being used
  • Session log data — login time, logout time, pages visited
  • Country- or state-level geolocation information (not precise location)

2.3 Gaming Activity & Transaction Data

We retain records of your gaming activity and financial transactions for account management, dispute resolution and regulatory compliance purposes:

  • Sports betting history — bets placed, odds, amounts, and outcomes
  • Casino game history — baccarat, slots, lottery and other game sessions
  • Financial transaction history — all deposits and withdrawals with their respective payment methods

3How We Use Your Personal Data

Mari888 uses collected data solely for legitimate purposes directly related to the provision of our platform services. We do not use your data for any purpose beyond the scope stated here without first obtaining your consent.

3.1 Account Management & Services

The primary purpose of using your data is to properly manage your account — including processing registrations, verifying your identity for withdrawals, processing deposits and withdrawals via Touch 'n Go, DuitNow, GrabPay, FPX, and other Malaysian payment methods, sending account-related notifications, and resolving any disputes that may arise.

3.2 Security & Fraud Prevention

Technical data such as IP addresses and device information is used to detect and prevent unauthorised access to your account, identify suspicious fraudulent activity or money laundering, enforce our one-account-per-user policy, and safeguard the overall integrity of the platform against misuse.

3.3 Responsible Gaming

Your game activity data is analysed by our Responsible Gaming team to identify playing patterns that may indicate signs of problem gambling, to ensure that the deposit and loss limits you have set are enforced by the system, and to provide helpful resource recommendations to members who may need them. This reflects mari888's commitment that goes beyond the minimum licensing requirements.

3.4 Service Improvements

Aggregated platform usage data (not individual personal data) is used to understand how users interact with the platform, identify areas for improvement, develop new features relevant to Malaysian users, and ensure the platform maintains optimal technical performance.

3.5 Marketing Communications

With your consent given at registration, we may send you information about relevant promotions, bonuses and platform updates via email or in-app notifications. You may withdraw this consent at any time through your account settings or by contacting our support team.

4Sharing Data with Third Parties

Mari888 does not sell, rent, or share your personal data with any third party for their own marketing purposes. However, there are limited circumstances in which we need to share data with certain parties in order to provide our services to you:

4.1 Technical Service Providers

We work with technical service providers that help us operate the platform – including Live Casino game providers such as Evolution Gaming and Pragmatic Play, payment processors that facilitate transactions via Touch 'n Go, DuitNow and FPX, and cloud computing service providers for data storage. All third-party providers are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and are only permitted to use your data for the specific purposes related to the services they provide to us.

4.2 Legal & Regulatory Requirements

We may be required to disclose your personal data to law enforcement authorities or regulatory bodies when obligated to do so by law or court order, when necessary to prevent, detect, or prosecute financial crimes such as money laundering, or when required to fulfil our licensing obligations.

4.3 Business Transfer

In the event of any corporate restructuring, merger, or acquisition involving mari888, user data may be transferred to the new entity. In such circumstances, we will notify you in advance and ensure that the receiving entity maintains privacy protections at least equivalent to those in this policy.

Our commitment: In all of the above situations, we share only the minimum data necessary for the specific purpose in question. We do not share personal information that is unrelated to the stated need.

5Data Security Measures

Protecting your personal data from unauthorised access, loss or accidental disclosure is our top priority. mari888 implements multiple layers of technical and organisational security controls to ensure comprehensive data protection.

5.1 Technical Security

  • Encryption in transit: All data transmitted between your device and our servers is protected by TLS 1.3 protocol with AES-256 encryption.
  • Data-at-rest encryption: Sensitive data stored in our databases — including payment information and identity documents — is encrypted at rest.
  • Two-factor authentication: All account logins support two-factor authentication (2FA) via SMS OTP for added security.
  • Threat monitoring: Automated monitoring systems operate 24/7 to detect suspicious activity and intrusion attempts.
  • Penetration testing: Security audits and penetration testing by independent third parties are conducted on a regular basis.

5.2 Internal Access Controls

Access to user data within our organisation is governed by the principle of least privilege – staff only have access to the data they need to carry out their specific duties. All database access is logged and audited on a regular basis. Staff who handle user data undergo data protection training and are bound by confidentiality agreements.

5.3 Incident Response

Mari888 has a comprehensive incident response plan in place to address any data breaches that may occur. In the event of a security incident involving your personal data, we are committed to notifying you within 72 hours of becoming aware of the incident, explaining the nature of the incident and the data that may be affected, informing you of the steps we are taking to contain and resolve it, and providing recommendations on measures you can take to protect yourself.

6Cookies & Tracking Technologies

The mari888 website and app use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance the user experience, ensure the platform functions correctly, and analyse usage patterns on an aggregate basis.

6.1 Types of Cookies We Use

  • Necessary cookies: These cookies are essential for the platform's core functions — including maintaining your login session, remembering your language preference and securing transactions. Without them, the platform will not function properly.
  • Preference cookies (functional): These cookies remember your preferences — such as your favourite baccarat table, interface settings, and display options — to deliver a more personalised experience.
  • Analytics cookies: We use analytics cookies to understand how users interact with the platform – which pages are visited most frequently, time spent in each section, and navigation patterns. This data helps us improve the platform experience for users in Malaysia.

6.2 Managing Your Cookies

You can manage cookie settings through your web browser. Most modern browsers — including Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge on iOS or Android devices — allow you to view, delete, or block cookies. Please note that blocking essential cookies will affect platform functionality and may prevent you from logging in or completing transactions.

7Data Retention Period

Mari888 does not retain your personal data for longer than is necessary for the stated purposes, or beyond the period required by law and regulatory obligations.

8Your Rights Under Malaysia's PDPA

As an individual whose personal data is processed by mari888, you have certain rights under Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010. We are committed to respecting these rights and making them easy for you to exercise.

Right to Rectification

If you find that the personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or out of date, you have the right to request a correction. Basic information can be updated directly through your account profile, while corrections to more sensitive details will require verification through our support team.

Right to Erasure

You may request the deletion of your personal data under certain circumstances – for example, when an account is closed and there is no legal obligation to retain the data in question. Please note that some data may need to be kept for a specified period to meet regulatory requirements.

Right to Object

You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes. Once you withdraw your consent to receive marketing communications, we will immediately cease using your data for that purpose.

To exercise any of the rights above, please contact our Data Protection Officer by email at support@mari888.xyz clearly stating your request. We will process it within a reasonable timeframe and keep you informed of the action taken.

9Protection of Children's Data

The mari888 platform is exclusively for individuals aged 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors.

During the registration process, we require verification that the user has reached the minimum age of 18. Should we discover that we have inadvertently collected personal data from an underage individual, we will take immediate steps to delete that information and close the account in question.

To parents and guardians: If you discover that a minor in your care has registered an account with mari888, please contact our support team immediately via live chat or email at support@mari888.xyz. We will promptly close the account and delete all associated data.

10Amendments to This Privacy Policy

The technology landscape and regulatory requirements are constantly evolving, and our Privacy Policy may need to be updated to reflect these changes. We reserve the right to amend this policy at any time.

10.1 Amendment Notice

For any material amendments — meaning changes that significantly affect your privacy rights or how we use your data — we will notify all active members via their registered email and/or in-platform notification at least 30 days before the changes take effect. For minor amendments that do not alter your fundamental rights, we will update this policy and revise the "last updated" date at the top of the page.

10.2 Acceptance of Amendments

Continued use of the mari888 platform after any amendment takes effect will be considered your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the changes made, you may choose to close your account and request deletion of your data before the amendment comes into effect.

Frequently Asked Questions – mari888 Privacy Policy

Quick answers to the most frequently asked questions about privacy and data protection at mari888

Yes. mari888 does not store your full bank account or e-wallet details directly in our systems. All transaction processing via Touch 'n Go, DuitNow, GrabPay, FPX, Boost, ShopeePay, Maybank2u and CIMB Clicks is handled through certified third-party secure payment channels. We retain only the minimum information necessary — such as the account name and phone number linked to your e-wallet — for transaction verification and to ensure withdrawals are routed to the correct payment method.

Yes, you have the right to request deletion of your personal data. However, there are some practical limitations you should be aware of. First, certain data must be retained for a specified period due to legal requirements — for example, financial transaction records must be kept for seven years under Malaysia's anti-money laundering laws. Second, deletion requests can generally only be fully processed after your account has been closed and there are no outstanding disputes. To submit a data deletion request, please contact our support team at support@mari888.xyz with the subject line "Data Deletion Request".

Your individual game activity data is used for three primary purposes: first, to manage your account — including calculating bonus balances, processing winnings and resolving any disputes that arise; second, to support our Responsible Gaming programme — where our team analyses playing patterns to identify and assist members who may need support; and third, to meet regulatory compliance requirements. Your data is not sold or shared with third parties for external commercial analytics. Aggregate analysis (with all personal identifiers removed) may be used internally to improve the platform.

When you close your mari888 account, we will stop all active data processing related to your account — including marketing communications and platform notifications. However, certain data must be retained for a specified period after account closure to meet legal requirements: account information and identity verification documents are kept for five years, financial transaction history is kept for seven years in accordance with applicable legal requirements, and support communication records are kept for three years. Once these mandatory retention periods expire, all your data will be securely deleted or anonymised.

There are several straightforward ways to stop receiving marketing communications from mari888. You can click the "Unsubscribe" link found at the bottom of every marketing email we send. You can also update your communication preferences through your account settings under "Notification Preferences". Alternatively, you can contact our support team via live chat or email at support@mari888.xyz to request that all marketing communications be stopped. Once your request is received, we will stop sending marketing emails within 48 hours. Please note that important account-related notifications – such as transaction confirmations or security alerts – cannot be turned off, as they form part of our core service.

mari888 user data is stored in a secure cloud computing environment. Some data may be stored or processed outside Malaysia – this is standard practice in the global online services industry. However, any cross-border data transfers are subject to strict security and privacy agreements to ensure that the protection of your data remains at a standard at least equivalent to that required under Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010. The infrastructure providers we work with are leading technology companies holding internationally recognised security certifications.
