Privacy Policy —
How Dewa88 Protects Your Data
At dewa88, the privacy and security of our players' personal information is a core commitment, not an afterthought. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what data we collect, why we collect it, how it is used, and the rights you hold as a dewa88 member.
Introduction
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") is issued by Dewa88 ("dewa88", "we", "us", or "our"), the operator of the online gaming platform accessible at dewa88.cam. This Policy applies to all personal data collected from individuals who visit, register on, or otherwise interact with the dewa88 Platform, including Malaysian players in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor Bahru, Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam, and elsewhere.
Dewa88 is committed to handling your personal data responsibly and in accordance with applicable data protection laws. This Policy is designed to give you full transparency over how your information is collected, processed, stored, and shared — and to clearly articulate the controls and rights available to you.
By registering an account or continuing to use the dewa88 Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any aspect of this Policy, please discontinue use of the Platform and, if you have an account, contact our support team to arrange account closure.
Our commitment in plain terms: Dewa88 does not sell your personal data to third parties for marketing purposes. We collect only the data we genuinely need to operate the Platform, comply with regulatory obligations, and provide you with a secure and seamless gaming experience.

Legal Basis for Processing

- Legitimate Interests: Dewa88 may process certain Technical Data and Usage Data based on our legitimate interests in operating a secure, functional, and fraud-resistant platform. We ensure that such processing does not unduly override your rights and interests.
- Consent: Where we send you promotional communications or process data for purposes not strictly necessary for the delivery of our services, we will obtain your explicit consent and provide a clear mechanism to withdraw it at any time.
Data Sharing & Third Parties
Dewa88 does not sell, rent, or trade your Personal Data to third parties for their marketing purposes. We share your data only in the following circumstances and with the following categories of recipients:

Data Security
Dewa88 implements a comprehensive suite of technical and organisational security measures to protect your Personal Data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include:
- 256-bit SSL/TLS Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and the dewa88 Platform is encrypted using industry-standard TLS protocols.
- Encrypted Data Storage: Sensitive data at rest — including identity documents, financial records, and authentication credentials — is encrypted using AES-256 encryption.
- Access Controls: Access to personal data within dewa88's systems is restricted to authorised personnel on a strict need-to-know basis, enforced through role-based access controls and multi-factor authentication.
- Intrusion Detection & DDoS Protection: Our infrastructure is protected by enterprise-grade intrusion detection systems and DDoS mitigation services to maintain platform availability and data integrity.
- Regular Security Audits: Dewa88 conducts regular internal and third-party security assessments to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
- Incident Response: Dewa88 maintains a documented data breach response procedure. In the event of a breach that poses a risk to your rights and interests, we will notify affected Members as required by applicable law.
While dewa88 takes all reasonable steps to protect your data, no internet transmission or electronic storage method is completely infallible. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your own account credentials and for reporting any suspected unauthorised access promptly to our support team.
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
Dewa88 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate and improve the Platform, maintain your session, and analyse usage patterns. The categories of cookies we use are described below:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for the Platform to function. These include session cookies that maintain your logged-in state and security tokens. They cannot be disabled without impeding Platform functionality.
- Functional Cookies: Remember your preferences, such as language settings and display preferences, to improve your experience across sessions.
- Analytical Cookies: Collect aggregated and anonymised data about how Members use the Platform — including pages visited, features accessed, and session duration — to help us understand usage patterns and improve the Platform.
- Security Cookies: Support fraud prevention and security measures, including detection of unusual login activity and prevention of cross-site request forgery attacks.
You can control non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the dewa88 Platform. Persistent cookies are stored for a defined period after your session ends; session cookies expire automatically when you close your browser.
Your Data Rights
Subject to applicable data protection law and any overriding legal obligations (including KYC and AML record-keeping requirements), you hold the following rights in relation to your Personal Data held by dewa88. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our support team at [email protected].
Dewa88 will respond to verified data rights requests within 30 days of receipt. Where a request is complex or numerous, we may extend this period by a further 60 days and will notify you accordingly. There is no fee for exercising your rights unless a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.
Minors & Age Restriction
The dewa88 Platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 years and above. Dewa88 does not knowingly collect Personal Data from individuals under the age of 21. Age verification is a mandatory component of the KYC process, and accounts discovered to be held by individuals under 21 will be immediately suspended.
If you believe that dewa88 may have inadvertently collected Personal Data from a minor, please contact us immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate the matter and, where confirmed, securely delete all Personal Data associated with the minor's account without undue delay.
21+ Policy: Providing false date of birth information to circumvent our age verification process constitutes a serious breach of our Terms & Conditions and may result in the forfeiture of all funds held in the relevant account. Dewa88 takes underage gambling prevention extremely seriously.
International Data Transfers
As an internationally operated platform serving Malaysian players, dewa88 may transfer your Personal Data to, and store it in, countries outside Malaysia. Where such transfers occur, dewa88 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data to a standard equivalent to that required under applicable Malaysian data protection law, including:
- Transfers to service providers in jurisdictions recognised as offering adequate data protection;
- Use of standard contractual clauses or equivalent data transfer mechanisms that impose appropriate data protection obligations on the recipient entity;
- Where transfers are made to payment processors operating within Malaysia's banking and e-payment infrastructure (such as DuitNow, FPX, Maybank, CIMB, and Touch 'n Go eWallet), data handling is governed by their respective privacy policies and applicable Bank Negara Malaysia guidelines.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
Dewa88 reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable law, or Platform functionality. When material changes are made, we will:
- Update the "Last Updated" date displayed at the top of this page;
- Post a prominent notice on the dewa88 homepage or within the Platform;
- Where the change materially affects your rights or our processing of Sensitive Data, notify you by email to your registered address prior to the change taking effect.
