At 1988ric, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains in plain terms how we collect, use, store, protect, and — where required — share the personal data of all players who access and use the 1988ric platform. We are committed to full transparency about our data practices, and this document forms a binding part of our relationship with every registered player.
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") is published by 1988ric ("Company", "we", "us", "our") and applies to all personal data collected from individuals ("User", "Player", "you", "your") who access, register upon, or otherwise interact with the 1988ric online casino and sports betting platform, accessible at https://1988ric.cam ("Platform").
1988ric is committed to protecting the privacy and security of all players who use our Platform, including those accessing it from across Malaysia — whether from Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor Bahru, Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam, or any other location. We recognise that privacy is a fundamental right, and our data practices are designed to reflect that commitment.
Scope: This Policy applies to all personal data collected through the Platform, our customer support channels, payment processes, and any related digital touchpoints. It should be read alongside our Terms & Conditions, which govern the overall player relationship.
By registering an account with 1988ric or continuing to use the Platform, you confirm that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and consent to the collection and processing of your personal data as described herein. If you do not agree with any part of this Policy, you should discontinue use of the Platform immediately.
The following key terms are used throughout this Privacy Policy:
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| "Personal Data" | Any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person — including name, email address, phone number, financial data, and device identifiers. |
| "Processing" | Any operation performed on personal data, including collection, storage, use, disclosure, or deletion. |
| "Data Controller" | The entity that determines the purposes and means of processing personal data — in this context, 1988ric. |
| "Data Processor" | A third party that processes personal data on behalf of 1988ric under a contractual arrangement (e.g., payment processors, KYC providers). |
| "Consent" | A freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of agreement to the processing of personal data for a stated purpose. |
| "KYC" | Know Your Customer — identity and document verification processes required under applicable compliance obligations. |
| "Cookie" | A small data file stored on a user's device by a website to recognise returning visitors and deliver personalised functionality. |
1988ric collects personal data through several channels in the course of operating the Platform and delivering services to Players. The categories of data we collect include:
When you create an account, we collect your full legal name, date of birth, email address, phone number, residential address, and chosen username. This data is required to establish your account, verify your identity, and fulfil our obligations under applicable compliance regulations.
For the purposes of age verification and identity confirmation, we may request copies of government-issued identity documents such as your Malaysian National Registration Identity Card (MyKad), passport, or driver's licence. We may also request a utility bill or bank statement as proof of residential address. These documents are processed securely and retained only for the duration required by our compliance obligations.
We collect records of all deposits, withdrawals, and wagers made on the Platform, including the payment method used (e.g., Touch 'n Go eWallet, DuitNow, FPX, Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank, Boost, GrabPay, or USDT TRC20), transaction amounts in Malaysian Ringgit (MYR), timestamps, and transaction identifiers. Full payment card or bank account numbers are not stored by 1988ric — payment data is handled by our PCI-DSS compliant payment processing partners.
Our Platform automatically collects certain technical data when you visit or use it, including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type and identifiers, referring URL, session duration, and pages visited. This data is collected via server logs and cookies and is used for platform security, performance optimisation, and fraud detection purposes.
We collect records of game play activity, betting history, session patterns, and interaction with platform features. This data is used to personalise your gaming experience, detect unusual or problematic gambling patterns, and improve the Platform's content and functionality.
Any communications you send to 1988ric — including live chat transcripts, email correspondence, and support tickets — are retained for customer service quality assurance, dispute resolution, and regulatory compliance purposes.
✅ Data Minimisation Principle: 1988ric collects only the personal data that is strictly necessary to deliver our services, fulfil legal obligations, and protect platform integrity. We do not collect data beyond what is reasonably required for these stated purposes.
1988ric uses the personal data we collect for the following specific purposes:
| Purpose | Description |

| Account Management | Creating, maintaining, and securing your Player account; processing login authentication and two-factor verification. |
| Identity Verification | Verifying that you meet the minimum age requirement of 21 years and confirming your identity in line with our KYC obligations. |
| Payment Processing | Facilitating deposits and withdrawals through your chosen Malaysian payment method; reconciling transactions and preventing payment fraud. |
| Service Delivery | Delivering casino games, sports betting markets, and all other features of the Platform to your device accurately and reliably. |
| Regulatory Compliance | Meeting anti-money laundering (AML), counter-terrorist financing (CTF), and Know Your Customer (KYC) obligations under applicable law. |
| Fraud & Security | Detecting and preventing fraudulent activity, collusion, bonus abuse, and unauthorised account access through behavioural analysis and transaction monitoring. |

1988ric does not use personal data to make fully automated decisions that produce significant legal or similarly significant effects on Players without the opportunity for human review.
1988ric processes personal data only where a legitimate legal basis exists for doing so. The applicable legal bases under which we process your data include:
1988ric does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for their independent marketing or commercial purposes. We may, however, share your data with the following categories of recipients in the course of delivering our services:
We share necessary transaction data with our payment processing partners to facilitate deposits and withdrawals via Touch 'n Go eWallet, Boost, GrabPay, DuitNow, FPX, Maybank, CIMB, and other supported methods. These providers are bound by contractual data processing agreements and are prohibited from using your data for any purpose beyond payment facilitation.
Where required, we engage licensed third-party KYC and identity verification service providers to validate Player identity documents. These providers process data strictly under our instruction and applicable data protection standards.
We may share device and behavioural data with specialist fraud prevention services to detect and mitigate fraudulent activity on the Platform. This processing is conducted under legitimate interests and is subject to appropriate contractual safeguards.
1988ric may disclose personal data to competent regulatory bodies, law enforcement agencies, or courts where required by applicable law, a valid legal order, or where disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of 1988ric, its players, or the public.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of 1988ric's assets, Player data may be transferred to the acquiring entity, subject to the acquirer maintaining equivalent data protection standards. Players will be notified of any such transfer that materially affects the terms of this Policy.
⚠️ Important: Any third-party data processors engaged by 1988ric are required to execute data processing agreements that bind them to confidentiality obligations and restrict the use of Player data to the specific purposes for which it was shared.
The 1988ric Platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to ensure core functionality, improve performance, and deliver a consistent experience across sessions. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by your web browser.
You may configure your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. Note that disabling certain cookies may limit the functionality of the Platform — in particular, session and authentication cookies are required for account access. Detailed guidance on managing cookies in your specific browser can be found in your browser's help documentation.
1988ric 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 and regulatory obligations.
| Data Category | Retention Period | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Account & Identity Data | Duration of account plus 5 years | AML regulatory record-keeping requirements |
| KYC Documents | Duration of account plus 5 years | Compliance with identity verification obligations |
| Transaction Records | 7 years from transaction date | Financial record-keeping and regulatory requirements |
| Communication Records | 3 years from date of communication | Dispute resolution and customer service quality |
| Technical & Device Logs | 12 months from collection | Security monitoring and fraud detection |
| Marketing Consent Records | Until consent is withdrawn plus 1 year | Demonstrating lawful basis for marketing activities |
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised in a manner that prevents reconstruction of personal identity.
1988ric employs a multi-layered security architecture to protect all personal data held on the Platform from unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or disclosure. Our security measures include, but are not limited to:
Data Breach Response: In the event of a personal data breach that presents a risk to Player rights and freedoms, 1988ric will act promptly to contain the breach, assess its impact, and notify affected Players and relevant authorities in accordance with applicable data breach notification obligations.
As an individual whose personal data is processed by 1988ric, you have the following rights. Requests to exercise these rights may be submitted to our support team via live chat or email at [email protected].
1988ric will respond to all legitimate data rights requests within a reasonable timeframe. We may request that you verify your identity before processing a data rights request to prevent unauthorised access to your account data.
The 1988ric Platform is strictly intended for individuals aged 21 years and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. If we become aware that a minor has registered an account or provided personal data, we will immediately suspend the account, delete the associated data, and may report the matter to relevant authorities.
If you believe a minor may have created an account or provided personal data to 1988ric, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected] so that we may investigate and take appropriate remedial action.
The Platform may incorporate functionality delivered by third-party service providers — including payment gateways, game delivery infrastructure, and analytics platforms. While these integrations are subject to contractual data protection requirements, 1988ric is not responsible for the independent privacy practices of third-party providers beyond those contractual obligations.
Players are encouraged to review the privacy policies of any third-party payment platforms they use in connection with 1988ric — such as Touch 'n Go eWallet, Boost, GrabPay, or their online banking provider — to understand how those platforms handle personal data independently of 1988ric.
1988ric reserves the right to revise this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in applicable law, regulatory guidance, platform functionality, or data processing practices. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will reflect the date of the most recent revision.
Where amendments are material in nature, 1988ric will endeavour to notify registered Players via email or an in-Platform notice prior to the revised Policy taking effect. Continued use of the Platform following publication of a revised Policy constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests relating to this Privacy Policy or the processing of your personal data by 1988ric, please contact us through the following channels:

Six core principles that underpin every data-related decision we make at 1988ric — from how we collect it to how we protect and eventually delete it.
All data transmitted between your device and 1988ric's servers is protected by 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption. Sensitive stored data is encrypted at rest using AES-256 standards — your information is never left exposed.
1988ric does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for their commercial use. Data is shared only with service providers directly necessary to deliver the Platform — under strict contractual controls.

Every category of data we hold is assigned a documented retention period aligned with legal requirements. When the retention window expires, data is securely and irreversibly deleted — not kept indefinitely without purpose.
