Introduction
This Privacy Policy (the "Policy") is issued by plaebet, the operator of the online gambling and betting platform accessible at https://plaebet.cam (the "Platform"). It describes how plaebet collects, processes, stores, transfers, and protects personal data relating to individuals who access or use the Platform, whether as registered account holders, visitors, or prospective users.
plaebet operates primarily in the Malaysian market and serves players across Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor Bahru, Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam, and other regions across Malaysia. We understand that entrusting a gambling platform with your personal data requires confidence in how that data is handled. This Policy is designed to give you that confidence — written plainly and structured so that you can find answers to specific questions without reading the entire document.
This Policy should be read alongside our Terms and Conditions, which govern the contractual relationship between plaebet and its users. By registering an account or accessing the Platform in any capacity, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and consent to the data practices described herein.
Our Core Commitment: plaebet does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for their marketing purposes. Your data is used solely to operate and improve the Platform, process transactions, fulfil legal obligations, and protect the security of the service and our players.

How We Collect Personal Data
plaebet collects Personal Data through the following channels and methods:
4.1 Directly From You
The majority of your Personal Data is provided directly by you when you register an account, complete KYC verification, make deposits or withdrawals, contact our support team, or engage with promotional activities on the Platform.
4.2 Automatically Through Platform Use
Technical and Usage Data is collected automatically as you interact with the Platform through cookies, server logs, and analytics tools. This includes your IP address, session data, and behavioural interaction data on the Platform. See Section 8 for detailed information on cookies.
4.3 From Third Parties
In limited circumstances, plaebet may receive Personal Data from third parties, including:
- Payment Processors: When you initiate a deposit or withdrawal via FPX, DuitNow, Maybank, CIMB, Touch 'n Go eWallet, Boost, GrabPay, or cryptocurrency networks, the payment provider may share transaction confirmation data and payer identity information with us.
- Identity Verification Services: Third-party KYC service providers may provide us with identity verification results, fraud risk scores, and document authentication reports.
- Fraud Prevention Databases: We may cross-reference your data against industry-shared fraud and money laundering databases as part of our compliance obligations.
Legal Basis for Processing
plaebet processes your Personal Data only where a valid legal basis exists. The applicable legal bases for our processing activities are:
Processing is necessary to perform the contract between you and plaebet — i.e., to provide the betting and casino services you have registered to access. This covers account management, deposit and withdrawal processing, game operation, and customer support.
Processing is required for compliance with legal obligations applicable to plaebet, including anti-money laundering (AML) regulations, Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements, age verification mandates under our licensing terms, and mandatory record-keeping obligations.
Processing is necessary for plaebet's legitimate business interests, including fraud detection and prevention, platform security, responsible gambling monitoring, and service improvement — provided these interests are not overridden by your fundamental privacy rights.
For certain non-essential processing activities — such as sending you promotional emails or using non-essential analytics cookies — we rely on your freely given, specific, and informed consent. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing prior to withdrawal.
How We Use Your Personal Data
Your Personal Data is used by plaebet for the following specific purposes:
- Account Management: Creating, maintaining, and administering your plaebet account, including profile updates and password management.
- Identity and Age Verification: Confirming that you meet the minimum age requirement of 21 years and verifying your identity to prevent fraud and comply with licensing obligations.
- Transaction Processing: Processing deposits via FPX, DuitNow, and e-wallets (Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank, Touch 'n Go eWallet, Boost, GrabPay), and processing withdrawal requests to your verified payment accounts.
- Service Delivery: Operating the betting and casino services, resolving betting disputes, and crediting winnings to your account balance.
- Security and Fraud Prevention: Detecting, investigating, and preventing fraudulent activity, collusion, money laundering, and other prohibited conduct on the Platform.
- Responsible Gambling: Monitoring betting patterns to identify signs of problem gambling behaviour and, where appropriate, proactively communicating responsible gambling tools and information.
- Customer Support: Responding to your inquiries, processing complaints, and maintaining records of communications for quality assurance and dispute resolution purposes.
- Legal Compliance: Meeting our obligations under applicable anti-money laundering, counter-terrorism financing, and data protection regulations.
- Platform Improvement: Analysing aggregated and anonymised usage data to improve the functionality, design, and user experience of the Platform.
- Marketing Communications (Consent-Based): Where you have opted in, sending you information about promotions, bonuses, and new features relevant to your preferences. You can unsubscribe at any time.
Marketing Opt-Out: If you no longer wish to receive promotional communications from plaebet, you can unsubscribe at any time via the link in any marketing email, or by contacting our support team at [email protected]. Opting out of marketing does not affect your ability to use the Platform or receive transactional notifications related to your account.

7.1 Service Providers and Data Processors
plaebet engages trusted third-party service providers who process Personal Data on our behalf under written data processing agreements. These providers are bound to process data only as instructed and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes. Categories of service providers include:

7.3 Business Transfers
In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of all or part of plaebet's business assets, Personal Data held by us may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction. We will notify registered users by email prior to any such transfer and the acquiring entity will be required to honour this Privacy Policy or provide equivalent protections.
7.4 Responsible Gambling Partners
Where a player activates self-exclusion or is referred to problem gambling support services, anonymised or pseudonymised data may be shared with responsible gambling programme coordinators solely for the purpose of enforcing that exclusion across related platforms.
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
plaebet uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the Platform, maintain your session state, and understand how users interact with our services. The following cookie categories are used:
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Consent Required |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Session management, login authentication, security tokens, fraud prevention. Cannot be disabled without breaking Platform functionality. | Not required (essential) |
| Functional | Remembering language preferences, display settings, and account personalisation choices. | Not required (functional) |
| Performance / Analytics | Aggregate tracking of page performance, load times, error rates, and usage patterns to improve the Platform. Data is anonymised before analysis. | Consent required |
| Marketing | Tracking interactions to personalise promotional content shown to you within the Platform, based on your activity history. | Consent required |
You may manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in and using the Platform. Disabling performance or marketing cookies does not affect your ability to bet or access games.
We do not use tracking pixels or similar technologies that send your data to social media platforms or unrelated third parties for external advertising purposes.
Data Retention
plaebet retains your Personal Data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. The following retention principles apply:
- Active Account Data: Retained for the duration of your active account relationship with plaebet, plus a minimum of five (5) years following account closure for AML and licensing compliance purposes.
- Transaction Records: Financial transaction data, including deposit and withdrawal records, is retained for a minimum of seven (7) years from the date of the transaction to comply with financial record-keeping obligations.
- KYC Documentation: Identity verification documents are retained for a minimum of five (5) years following account closure or the last transaction, whichever is later.
- Support Communications: Live chat transcripts and support email records are retained for a period of three (3) years from the date of the communication, or until resolution of any active dispute.
- Technical and Usage Data: Server log data and session records are retained for a maximum of twelve (12) months from the date of generation, after which they are either anonymised or deleted.
- Self-Excluded Accounts: Basic account and exclusion records for self-excluded users are retained for the duration of the exclusion period and a further five (5) years to prevent re-registration during that period.
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, Personal Data is securely deleted or anonymised in a manner that makes re-identification impossible.
Data Security
plaebet implements a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures designed to protect your Personal Data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or disclosure. Our security architecture includes but is not limited to:
- 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your device and our servers, including all transactions and login sessions.
- AES-256 encryption for sensitive data stored at rest, including identity documents and financial records.
- Two-factor authentication (2FA) available for all account holders and mandatory for administrative access to our systems.
- Regular third-party penetration testing and security audits of our infrastructure.
- Role-based access controls ensuring that plaebet employees access only the data necessary for their specific job function.
- Automated monitoring and alerting for anomalous login patterns, mass data access events, and other security indicators.
- Segregation of player fund accounts from operational systems, reducing the attack surface for financial data exposure.
While plaebet maintains rigorous security standards, no internet-based system is entirely immune to risk. In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights or freedoms, plaebet will notify you within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach (or as soon as reasonably practicable), in accordance with our notification obligations under applicable data protection frameworks.
You play an important role in account security. You should use a strong, unique password for your plaebet account, enable two-factor authentication, and never share your credentials with any third party. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact [email protected] immediately.
Your Rights Over Your Personal Data
As a data subject, you hold a number of rights in relation to the Personal Data plaebet holds about you. These rights are set out below. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our support team at [email protected] with the subject line "Data Rights Request" and include your registered account username and a description of your request.
Right of Access
You may request a copy of all Personal Data plaebet holds about you. We will respond within 30 days of receiving a valid request.
Right to Rectification
You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete Personal Data. Basic account details can be updated directly in account settings.
Right to Erasure
In certain circumstances, you may request deletion of your Personal Data. Note that legal retention obligations may limit what can be deleted.
Right to Restrict Processing
You may request that plaebet restrict processing of your data in specific circumstances, such as while the accuracy of the data is being contested.
Right to Data Portability
Where processing is based on consent or contract, you may request your data in a structured, machine-readable format for transfer to another service.
Right to Object
You may object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. Marketing opt-outs are effective immediately.
Rights re: Automated Decisions
Where automated processing produces decisions that significantly affect you (e.g., account restrictions), you may request human review of that decision.
Right to Withdraw Consent
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
Response Timeframe: plaebet will acknowledge all data rights requests within 5 business days and provide a substantive response within 30 calendar days. Where a request is complex or involves a large volume of data, we may extend this period by a further 30 days and will notify you accordingly.
Children, Minors & Age Restrictions
The Platform is strictly intended for individuals aged 21 years and above. plaebet does not knowingly collect or process Personal Data from individuals under the age of 21. Any account found to belong to a person under 21 will be immediately closed and all associated Personal Data will be deleted, except where retention is required to record and report the breach or to prevent re-registration.
Where plaebet has reason to believe that an account may be held by or accessed by a person under 21, we will suspend the account pending identity verification and, if the suspicion is confirmed, close the account permanently. We encourage parents and guardians to monitor internet usage by young persons in their care and to contact us at [email protected] if they suspect that a minor has registered or accessed the Platform.
International Data Transfers
plaebet operates as an internationally licensed platform. Your Personal Data may be transferred to, stored, or processed in countries outside Malaysia, including in the jurisdiction where our primary licensing authority is based and in the countries where our infrastructure and service providers operate.
Where Personal Data is transferred internationally, plaebet ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data to a standard equivalent to that which would apply within a jurisdiction with recognised data protection laws. These safeguards include contractual data protection clauses incorporated into all service provider agreements, and where relevant, adequacy assessments of the receiving jurisdiction's data protection framework.
By using the Platform, you acknowledge that your Personal Data may be transferred and processed outside Malaysia and consent to such transfers in connection with the services you have contracted to receive.
Amendments to This Privacy Policy
plaebet reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal obligations, or operational context. All amendments will be published on this page with a revised "Last Reviewed" date.
Where amendments are material — meaning they significantly affect how your Personal Data is used or your rights in relation to it — plaebet will provide at least fourteen (14) days' advance notice to registered users via email to the address on file. For minor or administrative changes (such as corrections or clarifications that do not affect the substance of our data practices), we may update this Policy without advance notice.
We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about how your data is protected. The current version is always accessible at https://plaebet.cam/privacy-policy.

How plaebet Protects Your Data
The key principles that define our approach to data privacy and protection for every Malaysian player on the Platform.
We Never Sell Your Data
plaebet does not sell, rent, or trade your Personal Data to any third party for commercial or marketing purposes. Your data is used solely to operate the Platform and fulfil our legal obligations — never to generate revenue through data brokerage.
Military-Grade Encryption
All data in transit is protected by 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption — the same standard used by major global banks. Sensitive data at rest, including identity documents and financial records, is encrypted using AES-256.
Full Control Over Your Data
You hold clear, exercisable rights over your Personal Data: access, correction, deletion, portability, and the right to object to processing. Submit a request to our support team and receive a response within 30 days.
Minimal Data Collection
plaebet collects only the data that is genuinely necessary to operate the service, process your payments, verify your identity, and comply with our licensing obligations. We do not collect data speculatively.
Clear Retention Limits
Every category of data we hold has a defined retention period. Financial transaction records are kept for the legally required minimum; other data is deleted or anonymised as soon as retention is no longer necessary.
Transparent Communication
When our data practices change materially, we notify registered users by email at least 14 days in advance. You are never surprised by changes to how your data is used — this is a commitment we take seriously.
