This Privacy Policy explains how mstar88 collects, uses, stores, and protects the personal information of players and visitors across our online casino and sports betting platform. We are committed to handling your data with transparency, security, and respect — in full compliance with applicable data protection standards.
Our Commitments
Before reading the full policy, these six principles summarise how mstar88 approaches your personal data at every stage of the relationship.
We collect only the personal information that is strictly necessary to operate your account, process payments, comply with legal obligations, and deliver our services. We do not collect data speculatively.
mstar88 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for their own commercial marketing purposes. Your information is used solely to operate and improve our own services.
All personal and financial data transmitted to and from the mstar88 platform is protected by industry-standard 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption. Data at rest is stored in encrypted form on secured servers.
You have the right to access, correct, export, and request deletion of your personal data. mstar88 maintains dedicated processes to handle all data rights requests within 30 days of receipt.
We tell you exactly what data we collect, why we collect it, how long we retain it, and with whom we share it. There are no hidden data practices. This policy is reviewed and updated at least annually.
mstar88 processes personal data in accordance with applicable data protection regulations and anti-money laundering (AML) requirements. We cooperate fully with lawfully issued regulatory data requests.
This Privacy Policy (the "Policy") is issued by mstar88 (the "Platform", "we", "us", or "our") and applies to all personal data collected from users ("you", "the Player", "the Visitor") who access or use the mstar88 website at https://mstar88.cam, its associated subdomains, mobile browser applications, and any related digital services operated under the mstar88 brand.
mstar88 operates primarily as an online casino and sports betting platform serving users in Malaysia, including players in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor Bahru, Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam, and other cities across the country. We are committed to protecting the privacy of all individuals whose personal data we process.
By registering an account on mstar88, making a deposit, using any of our gaming or betting products, or simply visiting our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and consent to the collection and use of your data as described herein. If you do not agree with any part of this Policy, you should cease using the Platform and, where applicable, close your account.
Policy Scope: This Policy covers all personal data processed in connection with your use of mstar88, regardless of the device or browser through which you access the Platform. It applies equally to registered members and anonymous visitors. It does not apply to third-party websites or services linked from our Platform — each of those is governed by its own privacy policy.

mstar88 processes your personal data on the following legal bases:
mstar88 does not sell your personal data. We share personal data only in the limited circumstances described below, and only to the extent necessary for the stated purpose:
We do not share your data for third-party advertising or marketing purposes. mstar88 does not permit third-party advertisers, data brokers, or social media platforms to access your personal data for their own commercial profiling or targeted advertising activities.
Where personal data is transferred to or processed by service providers or infrastructure located outside Malaysia, mstar88 ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect the security and integrity of your data. Such safeguards include contractual clauses that impose data protection obligations on the recipient party equivalent to those applicable in Malaysia.
All international data transfers are documented, reviewed periodically, and limited to the minimum data necessary for the contracted service. If you have questions about specific international transfers applicable to your data, you may contact our data privacy team using the details in Section 16.
mstar88 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. Our standard retention periods are as follows:
| Data Category | Retention Period |
|---|---|
| Account Registration Data | Duration of account + 5 years after account closure, in compliance with AML record-keeping requirements. |
| KYC & Identity Documents | Minimum 5 years after account closure or the end of the business relationship, as required by applicable AML regulations. |
| Financial Transaction Records | 7 years from the date of the transaction, in accordance with standard financial record-keeping requirements. |
| Gaming & Betting Activity Logs | 3 years from the date of the activity, or longer where required for dispute resolution or regulatory audit. |
| Support & Communications Records | 3 years from the date of the communication or the resolution of the related matter. |
| Marketing Preference Records | Duration of account + 2 years after account closure, to demonstrate compliance with opt-in and opt-out requests. |
| Technical & Log Data | 12 months from the date of collection for standard access logs; longer where retained for security incident investigation. |
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with any individual. Where deletion is not technically immediately possible (e.g., data stored in backup systems), the data is isolated from further active processing until deletion is completed.

You may manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookie categories may affect your ability to use some features of the Platform. mstar88 does not use third-party advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
mstar88 implements a comprehensive set of technical, organisational, and physical security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, and disclosure. Our security framework includes:
Your Responsibility: While mstar88 takes extensive technical precautions, the security of your account also depends on the strength and confidentiality of your login credentials. We strongly recommend enabling two-factor authentication in your account settings and using a unique, strong password that is not reused across other online services.
Subject to applicable law and our legal obligations (including AML and KYC retention requirements), you have the following rights in respect of your personal data held by mstar88:
Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, along with information about how it is processed.
Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data. You may update some information directly in your account settings.
Request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to legal retention obligations.
Request that we restrict the processing of your data in certain circumstances, such as while a dispute about accuracy is being resolved.
Request a structured, machine-readable export of personal data you have provided to us, where technically feasible.
Object to the processing of your data for direct marketing purposes or where processing is based on our legitimate interests.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact our data privacy team using the details provided in Section 16. We will acknowledge your request within five (5) business days and provide a substantive response within thirty (30) calendar days. Where a request is complex or where a high volume of requests has been received, this period may be extended by up to a further sixty (60) days, of which you will be notified in advance.
Identity Verification: To protect against unauthorised data access, we will verify your identity before processing any data rights request. You may be asked to confirm account details or provide a copy of your ID. This is a mandatory security step, not an obstacle to exercising your rights.
mstar88 is strictly an adult platform. Our services are available exclusively to individuals aged 21 years or above. We do not knowingly collect, retain, or process personal data from individuals under the age of 21.
If we become aware that personal data has been collected from a person under 21, we will take immediate steps to delete that data and close the associated account. If you have reason to believe that a minor has created an account on mstar88, please contact our support team immediately via live chat or by emailing [email protected] (plain text — not a clickable link).
Age verification is a mandatory step in our account registration and KYC process. We require submission of a valid government-issued photo identification document confirming that the applicant is 21 years of age or older before any account is fully activated.
The mstar88 Platform incorporates certain third-party services necessary for its operation — including game content from licensed providers, payment gateway integrations, and customer support software. While we conduct due diligence on all third-party providers and require them to adhere to appropriate data protection standards through contractual obligations, mstar88 is not responsible for the privacy practices of external third parties.
Where our Platform contains links to external websites or resources (for example, in the context of responsible gambling support information), please be aware that visiting those external sites is governed by their own privacy policies, which mstar88 does not control. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any external service you access.
mstar88 reviews this Privacy Policy at least annually and reserves the right to update or amend it at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, applicable law, or regulatory requirements. Where a material change is made to this Policy, we will provide notice to registered members via the email address on file at least fourteen (14) days before the change takes effect.
The "Last updated" date at the top of this Policy indicates when it was most recently revised. Your continued use of the mstar88 Platform after the effective date of any revised Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not agree with the revised Policy, you should cease using the Platform and request account closure before the effective date.
Archived versions of previous Privacy Policies are retained internally and are available upon request submitted to our data privacy team.
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests relating to this Privacy Policy or the processing of your personal data by mstar88, please contact our Data Privacy team through the following channels:
For requests involving the exercise of data subject rights as described in Section 12, please submit your request in writing (via email) with sufficient detail to allow us to locate the relevant data and verify your identity. mstar88 does not charge a fee for standard data rights requests.
For responsible gambling enquiries including self-exclusion requests, deposit limit adjustments, or account cooling-off periods, please visit our dedicated Responsible Gambling page or contact our welfare support team via live chat. These requests are treated as priority and handled separately from standard privacy enquiries.
