Octopus99's Privacy Commitment

Six core principles that underpin how octopus99 manages and protects the personal data of its Malaysian members.

Limited Data Collection

Octopus99 only collects data that is genuinely necessary to operate your account, process transactions and meet legal requirements. We do not collect data beyond the minimum needed to run the platform.

Advanced-Grade Encryption

All personal data and financial transaction information is protected with 256-bit SSL encryption — the same security standard used by major Malaysian banking institutions such as Maybank and CIMB.

No Data Sales

Octopus99 has never and will never sell, rent or disclose members' personal data to third parties for marketing or commercial purposes without your explicit prior consent.

Your Data, Your Control

As an octopus99 member, you have the right to access, correct, export, and in certain circumstances request the deletion of your personal data. All requests are handled through our support team.

Financial Information Confidentiality

Your e-wallet account details (Touch 'n Go, GrabPay, Boost, ShopeePay, DuitNow) and FPX information are encrypted and never stored in plain text. The octopus99 team cannot view your full payment account numbers.

Compliance with Malaysian Law

The octopus99 Privacy Policy is built in compliance with Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA). We are committed to meeting all data protection requirements applicable to our platform.

Important Note: This Privacy Policy explains how octopus99 collects, uses, stores and protects your personal data. By registering for and using the octopus99 platform, you agree to the practices described in this policy. Please read it carefully and contact us if you have any questions.

1Introduction and Scope of This Policy

Octopus99 ("we", "the platform") respects the privacy of every individual who uses our services. This Privacy Policy outlines our personal data collection and management practices for all users of the octopus99 platform at octopus99.best, including visitors, registered members and VIP members.

This document has been prepared in accordance with Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA 2010), which governs the processing of personal data in commercial transactions in Malaysia. As a platform operating for the Malaysian market, octopus99 treats PDPA compliance as our minimum obligation, and in many respects we strive to go beyond those minimum standards in order to provide our members with stronger privacy protections.

This policy applies to all personal data you share with octopus99 through the registration process, platform use, deposit and withdrawal transactions, communications with our support team, and any other interaction with the octopus99 platform.

2Types of Personal Data We Collect

Octopus99 collects personal data from several sources across the following categories:

Data You Provide Directly:

  • Full name as shown on your Malaysian identity card (MyKad)
  • An active Malaysian mobile number
  • A valid email address
  • Date of birth (for age verification)
  • Payment method details – e-wallet account numbers (Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay, Boost, ShopeePay) or relevant DuitNow and FPX information (Maybank2u, CIMB Clicks) for deposits and withdrawals
  • Copies of identity verification documents when requested (for the KYC process)

Data Collected Automatically During Platform Use:

  • Your device's IP address
  • Web browser type and version in use
  • Device operating system (Android, iOS, Windows, etc.)
  • Login and logout timestamps
  • Pages visited within the platform and time spent on each
  • Game session data including game type, bet amounts and outcomes
  • Complete records of all deposit and withdrawal transactions

Data from Third-Party Sources:

  • Verification information from KYC (Know Your Customer) service providers for identity verification purposes
  • Data from payment service providers for transaction verification
  • Information from any applicable gambling exclusion lists, where relevant

Note: Octopus99 does not collect information considered sensitive under Malaysia's PDPA unless specifically required for legal compliance purposes, in which case your explicit consent will be obtained beforehand.

3How Your Personal Data Is Used

Personal data collected by octopus99 is used solely for the following purposes:

Purpose of Use Type of Data Used
Account registration and management Name, email, phone number, date of birth
Processing of deposits and withdrawals Payment method details, transaction records
Identity Verification (KYC/AML) Name, date of birth, identification documents
Customer support Account information, communication records, transaction records
Fraud detection & security IP address, session data, activity patterns
Legal & regulatory compliance All relevant data as required
Platform improvement & analytics Anonymised usage data
Essential service communications Email, phone number

Octopus99 does not use your personal data for any third-party marketing purposes without your consent. If you wish to receive promotional communications from octopus99 itself, you may opt in to receive promotional notifications via your account settings, and you may withdraw that consent at any time.

4Legal Basis for Data Processing

Octopus99 processes your personal data on the following legal bases in accordance with Malaysia's PDPA 2010:

  • Consent: For data collection and processing that is not legally mandatory – you have provided explicit consent by accepting the terms and conditions and this Privacy Policy at the point of registration.
  • Performance of Contract: For the processing of data required to fulfil the service agreement between you and octopus99, including account management and transaction processing.
  • Legitimate Interests: For platform security, fraud detection, and service improvement purposes – where octopus99's legitimate interests in protecting the platform and its members outweigh any potential adverse impact on your privacy.
  • Legal Obligation: For data processing required under Malaysian law, including compliance with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements.

Where you have given consent as the basis for processing, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the validity of any processing that took place prior to the withdrawal.

5Data Sharing and Disclosure

Octopus99 does not sell, rent, or disclose your personal data to third parties for commercial purposes. However, in the course of operating the platform, octopus99 may share certain data with the following categories of parties, strictly for the purposes stated:

  • Payment Service Providers: Required transaction information is shared with Malaysian e-wallet providers and banks (Touch 'n Go, GrabPay, Boost, ShopeePay, DuitNow, FPX) solely to process your deposits and withdrawals.
  • KYC Service Provider: Identity information is shared with accredited identity verification service providers for KYC/AML verification purposes as required by law.
  • Game Providers: Minimum required data (game session ID) is shared with third-party game providers solely to enable gameplay. These providers do not receive your personally identifiable information.
  • Legal Authorities: Octopus99 will disclose personal data to the police, courts or relevant Malaysian government agencies when required by law or a valid court order.
  • Professional Advisors: In certain circumstances, legal advisors, accountants, or auditors bound by professional confidentiality obligations may access specific data within the scope of their professional engagement.

All third parties that receive data from octopus99 are bound by strict data processing agreements and are only permitted to use that data for the specific purposes defined. Octopus99 is not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties beyond the terms of those agreements.

Reminder: Octopus99 will never ask for your payment account password or PIN through any communication channel. If you receive such a request claiming to be from octopus99, it is a fraudulent attempt — please contact our support team immediately.

6Data Security and Protection Measures

Octopus99 employs multiple layers of technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. The key measures we have in place are as follows:

256-bit SSL Encryption

All communications between your web browser and octopus99's servers are protected with 256-bit SSL encryption – the same protocol used by Malaysia's major banks.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

An additional security layer that requires OTP verification to your Malaysian mobile number each time you log in from a new device.

Encrypted Data Storage

All personal data is stored in databases protected with an additional layer of encryption. Passwords are stored as cryptographic hashes that cannot be decrypted.

24/7 Security Monitoring

An automated security monitoring system that operates around the clock to detect and respond to any suspicious activity or unauthorised access attempts.

Strict Internal Access Controls

Only octopus99 staff with a legitimate business need are permitted to access member personal data, and all access is logged and audited on a regular basis.

Secure Data Backup

Data is backed up regularly to secure, encrypted locations to ensure availability and recovery in the event of unexpected technical disruptions.

Regular Security Audits

The octopus99 platform undergoes regular security audits by independent third parties to identify and address any vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.

PCI DSS Compliance

All payment data processing complies with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) to ensure your financial information is fully protected.

7Data Retention Period

Octopus99 retains your personal data for as long as your account is active or as long as necessary to provide services to you. After account closure, your personal data will be retained for the period required based on the following:

  • Financial Transaction Records: Retained for a minimum of 7 years from the transaction date, in line with Malaysia's anti-money laundering and tax record-keeping requirements.
  • Identity Verification Records (KYC): Retained for a minimum of 5 years from the date of verification, or longer if required by applicable law.
  • Customer Support Communication Records: Retained for 2 years from the date of interaction for reference and dispute resolution purposes.
  • System Log Data: Retained for 1 year for security and fraud detection purposes.
  • Basic Account Information: Retained for 5 years from the account closure date to comply with legal requirements and prevent re-registration by previously banned individuals.

Once the applicable retention period expires, your personal data will be securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to your identity.

The octopus99 platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance the user experience and to understand how the platform is being used. The following categories of cookies are in use:

Data Privacy at Octopus99 – What You Need to Know as a Malaysian Player

When you register on any online casino platform, you are effectively entrusting it with your personal information. Your phone number, email address, and e-wallet details such as Touch 'n Go or GrabPay – all of this is sensitive data that, in the wrong hands, can cause serious problems. That is why choosing a platform with a strong and transparent privacy policy matters, not just for the games or the bonuses.

Octopus99 is built on a privacy by design approach – meaning privacy protection is considered from the ground up in every platform development decision, not bolted on as an afterthought. This is reflected in how the platform is structured: payment card details are never stored in full within octopus99's systems – only secure tokens are retained to facilitate repeat transactions. Passwords are stored as cryptographic hashes that cannot be decrypted by anyone, including octopus99 staff.

Why Does Octopus99 Collect Data? Is It Necessary?

This is a fair question to ask. The answer is straightforward: the data collected is the minimum necessary for this platform to operate securely and in compliance with Malaysian law. Your name and phone number are required to verify your identity and to communicate with you. E-wallet details are required to process deposits via Touch 'n Go eWallet or GrabPay and to send your winnings back to you. Game session data is retained to resolve any disputes that may arise and to ensure game RTP performs as stated.

KYC (Know Your Customer) requirements are a legal compliance obligation under anti-money laundering (AML) regulations that apply to all financial platforms in Malaysia, not just online casinos. This is why octopus99 may request a copy of your identity card at certain stages, particularly prior to larger withdrawals. This is there to protect you — it ensures that no one else can withdraw funds from your account without proper identity verification.

Your Data Is Never Sold – And That's More Than Just a Promise

Many Malaysian internet users have experienced receiving unsolicited calls or promotional messages from companies they never gave their number to – this typically happens because their personal data was sold by a platform they used to advertisers or data brokers. Octopus99 is fully committed to never engaging in such practices.

The only marketing communications you will receive from octopus99 are promotions and offers from octopus99 itself – such as deposit bonuses, VIP cashback, or newly launched games. Even then, you have the option to opt out by disabling promotional notifications in your account settings. You will never receive third-party promotions through any information shared by octopus99.

How to Secure Your Octopus99 Account

While octopus99 provides robust technical security protections, the safety of your account also depends on the steps you take yourself. A few simple measures can help: use a strong, unique password for your octopus99 account that is different from your email or e-wallet passwords. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) – this adds a significant layer of security. Avoid logging in to your octopus99 account from public devices or unsecured public WiFi networks, such as those at internet cafes, shopping malls, or airports.

One important thing to keep in mind: octopus99 will never ask for your account password or e-wallet PIN via WhatsApp, Telegram, email, or any other communication channel. If you receive a message claiming to be from octopus99 requesting such information, it is a phishing attempt or scam – do not respond, and report it to the octopus99 support team via the official in-platform live chat.

Your Rights Are Real – Here's How to Exercise Them

Many users are unaware that they have legally enforceable rights over their personal data under Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010. At octopus99, we make this process straightforward. If you want to know what data we hold about you, simply send an email to support@octopus99.best with a written request. If any data is inaccurate, we will correct it. If you wish to close your account and request deletion of data that is eligible for removal, we will process this in accordance with the applicable legal guidelines.

Privacy is not merely a word in this document – it is a core value that underpins everything octopus99 does. Every member who entrusts us with their personal data deserves to be treated with transparency, accountability and respect for their privacy. That is a commitment octopus99 will never waver on.

FAQ – Octopus99 Privacy Policy

Octopus99 does not sell or share your personal data for third-party marketing purposes. Your data is shared only in three limited situations: (1) with Malaysian payment service providers such as Touch 'n Go, GrabPay and DuitNow to process your transactions, (2) with accredited KYC providers for identity verification as required by law, and (3) with Malaysian legal authorities when required by law or a valid court order. In all cases, data is shared only to the extent necessary for that specific purpose.

Your e-wallet account details (Touch 'n Go, GrabPay, Boost, ShopeePay) and FPX information are not stored in full within the octopus99 system. Only encrypted tokens managed by authorised payment providers are retained to facilitate recurring transactions. All payment-related communications are protected with 256-bit SSL encryption. octopus99 staff cannot view your full e-wallet account number or banking details — they can only see limited information such as partially masked numbers for verification purposes.

Yes, you may request deletion of your personal data by submitting a request to support@octopus99.best. However, please note that there are limitations to this right based on legal requirements. Financial transaction records must be retained for a minimum of 7 years under Malaysian law. KYC records must be retained for a minimum of 5 years. Data required to settle any pending transactions also cannot be deleted until those transactions are resolved. For data not subject to legal retention requirements, we will process deletion requests within 30 days.

When you close your octopus99 account, your personal data is not immediately deleted due to legal retention requirements. Financial transaction records are retained for 7 years, KYC records for 5 years, and basic account information for 5 years from the date of closure. These are requirements mandated by Malaysian law and are not at octopus99's discretion. This data is stored securely and is not used for any marketing or commercial purpose after account closure. Once the applicable retention period expires, the data will be permanently deleted or anonymised.

Yes, octopus99 uses cookies for limited and legitimate purposes. Essential cookies support core platform functions such as maintaining your login session. Preference cookies store your settings. Analytical cookies collect aggregated, anonymised usage data to help us understand how to improve the platform. Security cookies help detect and prevent fraudulent activity. Octopus99 does not use third-party tracking cookies for advertising. You can manage cookies through your web browser settings, though disabling essential cookies may affect platform functionality.

If you have a privacy concern, suspect unauthorised use of your data, or discover any security vulnerability that may expose member data, please contact us immediately by email at support@octopus99.best with the subject line "Privacy/Security Concern", or via the in-platform 24/7 live chat.
