Privacy Policy
At ria88, protecting your personal data is a core responsibility — not an afterthought. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and how you can exercise your rights over your own data.
How We Handle Your Data
We collect registration details, identity documents for KYC, transaction records, device and usage data, and communication history — only what is genuinely necessary to operate the platform safely and comply with our legal obligations.
Your data is used to operate your account, process deposits and withdrawals in MYR, verify your identity, personalise your experience, meet KYC and AML obligations, and deliver relevant promotions where you have opted in.
We share data only with regulated payment processors (including those handling Touch 'n Go, DuitNow, and FPX transactions), identity verification providers, our licensing authority, and law enforcement where legally required. We never sell your data.
All data in transit is protected with 256-bit TLS/SSL encryption. Sensitive personal data is stored in encrypted form at rest. Access to personal data is restricted to authorised personnel with a legitimate operational need.
You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data, withdraw marketing consent, and lodge a complaint. We respond to all data rights requests within 30 days via our support team.
We use essential, functional, and analytics cookies to maintain your session, remember preferences, and improve platform performance. You may manage non-essential cookie preferences through your browser settings at any time.

Legal Basis for Processing
ria88 processes your Personal Data only where a valid legal basis exists. The primary legal bases we rely upon are:
- Contractual Necessity: Processing that is necessary to perform our contract with you — i.e., to operate your account, process your deposits and withdrawals, and deliver gaming services.
- Legal Obligation: Processing required to comply with our regulatory obligations, including KYC verification, AML monitoring, responsible gambling enforcement, and mandatory reporting to our licensing authority.
- Legitimate Interests: Processing carried out in our legitimate interests as a gaming operator — such as fraud prevention, platform security, and analytics — where those interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights.
- Consent: Where processing is not justified by any of the above, we will seek your explicit consent. In particular, the sending of direct marketing communications is consent-based, and you may withdraw consent at any time.
Data Sharing & Disclosure
ria88 does not sell, rent, or trade your Personal Data to third parties. We share Personal Data only in the following limited and controlled circumstances:
- Payment Service Providers: We share transaction data with regulated payment processors that handle deposits and withdrawals on the Platform, including providers facilitating Touch 'n Go eWallet, Boost, GrabPay, DuitNow, FPX, Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank, Hong Leong, and USDT TRC20 cryptocurrency transactions. Each provider is bound by its own regulatory obligations and data protection commitments;
- Identity Verification Providers: We share KYC documents with third-party identity verification services to conduct automated and manual identity, age, and document checks;
- Gaming Software Providers: Game providers may receive anonymised or pseudonymised session data strictly for the purposes of game functionality, fairness auditing, and technical support;
- Regulatory & Law Enforcement Authorities: We will disclose Personal Data to our licensing authority, financial intelligence units, or law enforcement agencies where we are legally compelled to do so or where we believe disclosure is necessary to prevent fraud, money laundering, or harm to individuals;
- Group Companies: ria88 may share data within its corporate group where necessary for operational, compliance, or internal audit purposes, subject to equivalent data protection standards;
- Professional Advisers: Lawyers, auditors, and other professional advisers engaged by ria88 may access Personal Data on a strictly need-to-know basis and under obligations of confidentiality.
Important: Any third-party Data Processor engaged by ria88 is required to process Personal Data only on ria88's documented instructions, to implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures, and to notify ria88 promptly of any suspected personal data breach.
International Data Transfers
As an internationally licensed online gaming platform, ria88 may transfer your Personal Data to service providers and partners located in countries outside of Malaysia. Where such transfers occur, ria88 takes steps to ensure that an adequate level of data protection applies through one or more of the following mechanisms:
- Entering into standard contractual clauses or data processing agreements with receiving entities that impose data protection obligations equivalent to those applicable in Malaysia;
- Transferring only to jurisdictions that have been assessed as providing an adequate level of data protection;
- Ensuring that any transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract with you (e.g., processing a payment through a global payment network).
You may request further information about the safeguards applied to international data transfers by contacting our support team at the details provided in Section 15.
Data Retention
ria88 retains Personal Data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. The retention periods applicable to the primary categories of data are as follows:
| Data Category | Retention Period |
|---|---|
| Account & Registration Data | Duration of account plus 5 years after account closure, in line with standard AML retention requirements. |
| KYC & Identity Documents | Minimum 5 years from the date of verification or account closure, whichever is later, as required by anti-money laundering obligations. |
| Financial Transaction Records | 7 years from the date of each transaction, in accordance with financial record-keeping standards applicable under our licence. |
| Support Communications | 3 years from the date of the last interaction, for quality assurance and dispute resolution purposes. |
| Technical & Usage Logs | 13 months from collection, after which aggregated analytics may be retained indefinitely in anonymised form. |
| Marketing Preferences | Until you withdraw consent or close your account, after which opt-out records are retained for 3 years. |
Upon the expiry of the applicable retention period, Personal Data is securely deleted or anonymised in a manner that prevents reconstruction of the original data.
Security Measures
ria88 implements a layered set of technical and organisational security measures designed to protect Personal Data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Key measures include:
- Encryption in Transit: All data exchanged between your device and the ria88 Platform is protected using TLS 1.2 or higher (256-bit SSL encryption). This applies to all account activity, payment processing, and support communications;
- Encryption at Rest: Sensitive personal data — including identity documents and financial records — is stored in encrypted form using industry-standard AES-256 encryption;
- Access Controls: Internal access to Personal Data is restricted on a role-based need-to-know basis. All staff with access to personal data undergo mandatory data protection training;
- Two-Factor Authentication: Two-factor authentication (2FA) is available to all Members and is mandatory for certain high-value account operations;
- Penetration Testing: ria88 conducts regular security assessments, including penetration testing and vulnerability scanning, to identify and remediate potential weaknesses in its infrastructure;
- Incident Response: ria88 maintains a documented data breach response procedure. In the event of a breach that poses a risk to Data Subjects, we will notify affected individuals and relevant authorities in a timely manner consistent with applicable legal obligations.
Your Responsibility: The security of your account also depends on the strength and confidentiality of your password. ria88 strongly recommends using a unique, complex password and enabling two-factor authentication. ria88 will never ask you to share your password by email, live chat, or any other channel. If you suspect your account has been compromised, contact support immediately.
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
ria88 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the Platform effectively and to improve your experience. The categories of cookies we use are described below:
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Required for the Platform to function. Maintains your login session, shopping cart (if applicable), and security tokens. Cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality. | Required |
| Functional | Remembers your preferences such as language settings, last-visited game category, and display options to personalise your Platform experience. | Required |
| Analytics | Collects anonymised data on how you navigate the Platform — page visits, session duration, click paths — to help ria88 improve performance and user experience. | Consent |
| Marketing | Used to track the effectiveness of promotional campaigns and to deliver relevant offers to Members who have opted in to marketing communications. | Consent |
You may manage your cookie preferences for non-essential categories through your browser settings at any time. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality or performance of the Platform. ria88 does not respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals at this time, pending the emergence of a consistent industry standard.
Your Data Protection Rights
Subject to applicable data protection law and certain limited exceptions (including our regulatory retention obligations), you hold the following rights in respect of your Personal Data:
To exercise any of the rights listed above, please contact ria88's data protection team using the contact details set out in Section 15 of this Policy. We will acknowledge your request within 72 hours and respond substantively within 30 calendar days. In complex cases, this period may be extended by a further 30 days, in which case we will notify you of the extension and the reasons for it.
Minors & Age Restriction
The ria88 Platform is strictly for persons aged 21 years and above. We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from individuals below the age of 21. Age verification is a mandatory component of the KYC process, and we will refuse or suspend any account where verification indicates the user is below this minimum age.
If ria88 discovers or is notified that Personal Data has been collected from a person under the age of 21 without the required verification having been completed, we will take immediate steps to delete such data and close the relevant account. If you believe that a minor has registered on the Platform, please notify us immediately through our customer support channels.
Age Verification: ria88 applies mandatory age verification during account registration and KYC processes. Providing false date of birth information to circumvent age restrictions constitutes a serious breach of our Terms & Conditions and may be referred to relevant authorities.
Third-Party Services
The ria88 Platform may contain links to or integrations with third-party services, including game providers, payment processors, and responsible gambling resources. This Privacy Policy applies only to Personal Data collected and processed by ria88. ria88 is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services, and we encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party service you access through or in connection with the Platform.
In particular, payment service providers — including those operating the Touch 'n Go eWallet, Boost, GrabPay, DuitNow, FPX, Maybank, CIMB, and Public Bank platforms — maintain their own independent privacy policies that govern the processing of your financial and personal data within their respective systems. ria88 is not liable for the data handling practices of these third parties.
Amendments to This Policy
ria88 reserves the right to update or revise this Privacy Policy at any time, including to reflect changes in applicable law, regulatory guidance, our services, or our data processing practices. When material changes are made, we will notify active Members by email or via a prominent in-Platform notification before the changes take effect.
The "Last Updated" date at the top of this Policy will be revised each time the Policy is updated. Your continued use of the Platform following the effective date of a revised Policy constitutes your acceptance of the changes. We therefore recommend that you review this page periodically to remain informed about how ria88 processes your Personal Data.
