WM996's Six Privacy Commitments to You

The WM996 Privacy Policy is more than a legal document — it is a commitment to every Malaysian member who trusts us with their information.

Bank-Grade Encryption

All personal and financial information you submit to WM996 is protected with 256-bit SSL encryption — the same security technology used by leading Malaysian banking institutions such as Maybank and CIMB. No third party can intercept or read your data while it is in transit.

Data Never Sold

WM996 never sells, rents, or trades members' personal information to any third party for marketing or commercial purposes. This is an absolute policy that has remained unchanged since wm996 was established, and it will not change in the future.

Compliant with Malaysia's PDPA

WM996 operates in accordance with Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) and the guidelines issued by the Department of Personal Data Protection. All data collection and processing activities are carried out in compliance with applicable local legal requirements.

Full Control in Your Hands

As a WM996 member, you have the right to access, correct, update, and request the deletion of your personal data at any time. You may also withdraw consent for any consent-based data processing by contacting our team.

Secure Data Storage

Your personal data is stored on servers protected by multiple layers of physical and digital security. Access to member data is restricted to WM996 staff who require it for operational purposes only, with all access logged and monitored.

Prompt Breach Notification

In the event of any security incident involving WM996 member data, we are committed to notifying affected members within the timeframe required by law, and to taking immediate remedial action to protect your interests.

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes the data protection practices of WM996 ("we", "the Company", "the platform") in relation to personal information collected from members and visitors of the wm996 platform at wm996.best. By using the WM996 platform, you consent to the collection and use of your personal information as described in this Policy.

Quick Summary: WM996 collects only the information that is necessary, uses it solely for purposes you have agreed to, protects it with industry-leading technology, and never sells it to anyone. You always remain in control of your own data.

1
Introduction & Scope of the Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to all personal information collected by WM996 across all channels, including the wm996.best website, iOS and Android mobile apps, email and live chat communications, and any other interaction between you and WM996.

WM996 operates in accordance with Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA). We acknowledge our responsibilities as a data controller under the PDPA and are committed to ensuring that all processing of members' personal data is carried out lawfully, fairly, and transparently.

"Personal Information" in the context of this Policy refers to any information that can identify you directly or indirectly, including your name, phone number, email address, identification number, financial details, and platform usage data.

2
Types of Personal Data Collected

WM996 collects the following categories of information depending on how you interact with the platform:

Account Registration Information:

  • Full name as stated on your national identity card (MyKad).
  • An active Malaysian mobile phone number.
  • A valid email address.
  • Date of birth (for age verification — 18 years and above).
  • Your chosen username and password (passwords are stored as unreadable hashes).

Identity Verification (KYC) Information:

  • Front and back images of your national identity card (MyKad).
  • Proof of the payment method used (e.g., a screenshot of your Touch 'n Go or FPX account).
  • A selfie with your ID for cases requiring a higher level of identity verification.

Financial & Transaction Information:

  • Deposit history via Touch 'n Go eWallet, DuitNow, GrabPay, Boost, ShopeePay, and FPX.
  • Withdrawal and winnings history.
  • Account balance records and claimed bonus history.

Platform Usage Data:

  • Game history — game type, bet amount, outcome.
  • Login and logout time logs.
  • IP address, browser type, operating system, and device used.
  • Cookie data and session tokens.

WM996 does not directly collect credit or debit card numbers. All payments are processed through certified third-party payment gateways — Touch 'n Go, DuitNow, FPX, and others — each operating under their own PCI-DSS security standards.

3
Purpose of Data Collection & Use

WM996 uses your personal information only for the following purposes, all of which are lawful under Malaysia's PDPA:

  • Service Provision: Opening and managing your account, processing deposits and withdrawals, and enabling access to all games and platform features.
  • Identity Verification & Fraud Prevention: Confirming that you are who you claim to be, preventing duplicate account creation, and detecting and preventing fraudulent activity and money laundering.
  • Legal Compliance: Meeting anti-money laundering (AML) reporting requirements, KYC verification, and any other applicable legal obligations.
  • Service Communications: Sending important notices about your account, changes to terms or policies, transaction confirmations, and customer support responses.
  • Platform Enhancements: Analysing aggregated (not individual) usage patterns to improve platform performance, enhance the user experience, and develop new features.
  • Marketing Communications: Sending WM996 promotional information and bonus offers — only to members who have given explicit consent. You may unsubscribe at any time.

WM996 never uses your data for purposes not stated in this Policy without first obtaining your consent through a clear notification and appropriate consent mechanism.

4
Third-Party Data Sharing

WM996 does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party. However, we may share data in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service Providers: Companies that help us operate the platform, including game providers (Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, etc.), payment processors (Touch 'n Go, DuitNow, FPX, etc.), and technology infrastructure providers. All these parties are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and may only use your data for the purposes we specify.
  • Legal Requirements: When WM996 is required by law, court order, or directive from a competent authority to disclose specific information — for example, to the Department of Personal Data Protection, Bank Negara Malaysia, or authorised law enforcement agencies.
  • Protection of Vital Interests: In circumstances involving the safety or vital interests of an individual where consent cannot reasonably be obtained in time.

Every third party that receives data from WM996 is required to sign a data processing agreement ensuring they meet the same or higher data protection standards that we uphold.

5
Cookies & Tracking Technologies

WM996 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance the user experience and ensure the platform functions smoothly. The types of cookies we use:

  • Essential Cookies: Required for core platform functions such as login session authentication and security settings. Cannot be disabled without affecting platform functionality.
  • Preference Cookies: Saves your preferences such as language, display format, and other settings so you do not have to reconfigure them each time you visit the platform.
  • Analytical Cookies: Helps us understand how users interact with the platform — most visited pages, session duration, and navigation paths. This data is collected in aggregate form and does not identify any individual.
  • Security Cookies: Detecting suspicious access patterns, unauthorised login attempts, and potential fraudulent activity.

You can manage your cookie preferences through your web browser. Disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of the WM996 platform. Analytics and preference cookies can be turned off without impacting your basic access.

6
WM996 Data Security Measures

WM996 invests seriously in security infrastructure to protect members' personal data. The security measures we have in place include:

  • 256-bit SSL Encryption: All communications between your device and WM996's servers are encrypted using TLS 1.3 with AES-256 encryption.
  • Secure Password Storage: Passwords are never stored in plain text — they are hashed using the bcrypt algorithm with a high cost factor.
  • Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Available to all members as an additional layer of account security.
  • Internal Access Controls: Access to member data by WM996 staff is strictly controlled on a need-to-know basis — only staff who require access to perform their duties are granted permission.
  • Regular Security Audits: WM996 conducts regular internal and external security audits to identify and address any potential vulnerabilities.
  • 24/7 Threat Monitoring: Automated monitoring systems run around the clock to detect intrusion attempts, DDoS attacks, and other suspicious activity.

While we take every reasonable precaution, no system can guarantee absolute 100% security. You also play an important role by using a strong password, not sharing your login credentials, and promptly reporting any suspicious activity to us.

7
Data Retention Period

WM996 only retains your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected or to meet applicable legal requirements:

  • Active Account Data: Retained for the duration your account is active, plus 5 years after account closure to meet legal compliance requirements.
  • Financial Transaction Records: Retained for a minimum of 7 years in compliance with Malaysia's anti-money laundering legislation.
  • KYC Documents: Retained for 5 years from the date of verification or account closure, whichever is later.
  • Security Logs: Retained for 12 months for the purpose of investigating security incidents should they occur.
  • Game History: Stored for 90 days within your account interface; aggregated data without personal identifiers may be retained longer for platform analytics.
  • Support Communication Logs: Retained for 2 years from the date of the last communication.

Once the retention period has ended, data will be securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to you personally.

8
Your Rights as a Data Subject

Under Malaysia's PDPA and WM996's Privacy Policy, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Right of Access: Requesting a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Right to Rectification: Requesting the correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Right to Erasure: Requesting the deletion of your data in certain circumstances where no overriding legal interest supersedes this right.
  • Right to Object to Processing: Object to the processing of your data for direct marketing purposes at any time.
  • Right to Withdraw Consent: Withdrawing consent for processing that is based on your consent — without affecting the validity of any processing that took place prior to the withdrawal.
  • Right to Lodge a Complaint: Filing a complaint with the Department of Personal Data Protection Malaysia if you believe your privacy rights have been violated.

To exercise any of the above rights, please contact the WM996 privacy team via email at support@wm996.best or through live chat on the platform. We will address your request within 30 business days.

Some of the rights above may be limited in circumstances where WM996 is legally required to retain certain data — for example, financial transaction records for AML compliance purposes. In such cases, we will explain the reason for the limitation to you.

9
Children's Privacy

The WM996 platform is for users aged 18 and above only. We do not knowingly collect, process, or store any personal information from individuals under the age of 18.

If we discover that a minor's personal information has been collected without our knowledge through identity fraud or any other means, we will take immediate action to delete that information and close the associated account. Any winnings obtained through an account registered by an underage individual will be forfeited in full.

Parents or guardians who discover that their child has registered a WM996 account are required to contact us immediately at support@wm996.best so that appropriate action can be taken without delay.

Understanding the WM996 Privacy Policy – Why Data Protection Matters to Malaysian Players

When you register an account on any online casino platform, you are entrusting it with something extremely valuable — your personal information. Your name, phone number, ID details, and financial data. At WM996, we do not take this trust lightly. That is why we invest seriously in data protection infrastructure and take the time to clearly explain to every Malaysian member how their data is handled.

For many players, the "Privacy Policy" section of any website can feel like a long, tedious legal document. We understand that. This is where WM996 takes a different approach — we write our policy in plain, accessible language with practical explanations, so every member knows exactly what happens to their information.

Why the KYC Process Protects You, Not Burdens You

One thing that often raises questions among new wm996 members is the KYC (Know Your Customer) process — where you are asked to submit a photo of your MyKad and proof of your payment method before large withdrawals are processed. We understand this may feel like an inconvenient step, especially when you have just won and want to withdraw your funds right away.

In reality, the KYC process is a protective mechanism for you, not for us. Consider what could happen if someone obtained your account password and attempted to withdraw funds without your knowledge. Without KYC, that withdrawal might succeed. With KYC, only the individual whose verified identity matches the account information can make large withdrawals. This is an additional layer of protection that ensures your winnings reach your hands and no one else's.

Your Financial Data — We Do Not Store Card Numbers

One thing to be absolutely clear about: WM996 never stores your credit or debit card number in our systems. All financial transactions — whether via Touch 'n Go eWallet, DuitNow, GrabPay, Boost, ShopeePay, or FPX — are processed directly through third-party payment gateways certified to their own PCI-DSS security standards. What WM996 retains are transaction records only (amount, date, method) — never your full card or bank account details.

This means that even in the highly unlikely event of a security incident on WM996's systems, your financial card details would not be compromised — because they were never stored in our system to begin with.

Cookies — More Useful Than You Think

The word "cookies" often gets a bad reaction, but the truth is that most cookies used by WM996 are there for your own benefit. Essential cookies mean you do not have to log in again every time you open a new tab. Preference cookies save your language and display settings. Security cookies help us detect if someone is attempting to access your account from an unfamiliar location or device — and block that attempt before it succeeds.

The analytics cookies we use collect only aggregated, non-identifiable data — we can see how many people visited the football games page today, but we have no way of knowing who specifically visited or how long you personally spent there. This data is used solely to help us improve the platform.

Your Lesser-Known but Important Rights

Many wm996 members are unaware that they have a legal right to access all data we hold about them. Under Malaysia's PDPA, you may contact us to request a complete copy of your personal information in a readable format. We will fulfil this request within 30 business days at no charge.

If you find that any of your information is inaccurate — for example, your name is misspelt or an old phone number is still on file — you have the right to request a correction and we are obliged to update it within a reasonable time. These rights are not merely on paper — they are real rights protected under Malaysian law, and WM996 takes this responsibility seriously.

WM996's Unwavering Commitment

One thing that will never change at WM996, regardless of how the platform grows or how large we become — we will never sell our members' personal data. Not to marketing companies, not to advertisers, not to anyone. Your data belongs to you, and the trust you place in WM996 is something we guard with the utmost care. If you have any questions or concerns about your data privacy at WM996, don't hesitate to reach out — we're here to listen and help.

FAQ – WM996 Privacy Policy

Answers to the most frequently asked questions about privacy and personal data protection for WM996 members.

During account registration, WM996 collects your full name, Malaysian mobile number, email address, date of birth, and chosen username. Your password is stored in hashed form and cannot be read — meaning even WM996 staff cannot view your actual password. KYC documents such as a MyKad photo are only requested when you wish to withdraw more than RM5,000 or on your first withdrawal.

WM996 does not sell or trade your personal data to anyone. We share only the minimum necessary data with our service providers — such as game providers and payment processors — to keep the platform running. All third parties are bound by strict confidentiality agreements. We may also be required to disclose certain information to law enforcement authorities when mandated by Malaysian law.

You may request a copy of your personal data by emailing support@wm996.best with the subject line "Data Access Request" along with your account username. We will verify your identity and process the request within 30 business days. Data will be delivered in a readable format to the email address registered to your account. There is no charge for this request.

You may request the deletion of your personal data, but please note that certain categories of data cannot be erased due to legal obligations — for example, financial transaction records must be retained for 7 years under Malaysia's anti-money laundering laws. Data that is not subject to any legal retention requirement will be securely deleted. WM996 will clearly explain which data can be erased and which must be retained, along with the reasons why.

When you close your WM996 account, your active data is deactivated immediately and is no longer accessible via the platform. However, certain records must be retained in accordance with legal requirements — account data for 5 years, financial records for 7 years, and KYC documents for 5 years from the date of closure. Once the retention period expires, data will be securely deleted or anonymised. Any remaining balance (after deducting bonuses with unfulfilled wagering requirements) will be processed for withdrawal within 3–5 business days.

In the event of any security incident that may involve members' personal data, WM996 has a comprehensive incident response procedure in place. We will take immediate action to contain the incident, notify affected members within the timeframe required under Malaysia's PDPA, and report the incident to the Department of Personal Data Protection where required. We are committed to being fully transparent about any incidents and the steps taken to protect your data.
