Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information 1stbet collects from registered players in Malaysia, how we use and protect that data, and the rights you have over your information at every step of your journey with us.
Six foundational commitments that shape how 1stbet handles the personal data of every Malaysian player on our platform — from registration to last withdrawal.
1stbet collects only the personal data that is strictly necessary to operate your account, process your transactions, and comply with our regulatory obligations. We do not collect data speculatively or beyond what the platform genuinely requires.
All data transmitted between your device and the 1stbet platform is encrypted using 256-bit SSL — the same standard used by global financial institutions including Maybank and CIMB. Your personal and financial information never travels unprotected.
1stbet does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third-party marketing companies under any circumstances. Your contact details and betting history will never be used to target you with third-party advertising outside our platform.
Access to your personal data within the 1stbet organisation is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. Only personnel whose job function requires access to specific data categories are authorised to view it, and all access is logged and audited.
You have the right to access, correct, export, and request deletion of your personal data at any time. 1stbet will respond to all data requests promptly. Contact our support team to exercise any of your data rights described in this policy.
All personal data processing at 1stbet is grounded in a lawful basis — either your explicit consent, the performance of a contract, compliance with a legal obligation, or a legitimate interest that does not override your privacy rights.
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") is issued by 1stbet ("we", "us", "our", "the Platform"), the operator of the online gambling and sports betting services accessible at https://1stbet.cam and all associated subdomains and mobile applications. It describes how 1stbet collects, processes, stores, and protects the personal data of individuals ("you", "the User", "the Player") who access or use the Platform.
This Policy applies to all registered and prospective users of the 1stbet Platform, including players based in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor Bahru, Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam, and all other locations in Malaysia from which the Platform is accessed. By registering an account, you confirm that you have read and understood this Policy and consent to the processing of your personal data in accordance with its terms.
This Policy should be read in conjunction with our Terms & Conditions and our Responsible Gambling Policy, both of which form part of the agreement between you and 1stbet.
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, the following terms carry the meanings set out below:
1stbet collects personal data from Users through three primary channels: (a) data provided directly by the User, (b) data generated automatically through use of the Platform, and (c) data received from authorised third parties for verification or fraud prevention purposes.
3.1 Data Provided Directly by the User
3.2 Data Generated Automatically Through Platform Use
3.3 Data Received from Third Parties
All processing of personal data by 1stbet is grounded in one or more of the following lawful bases:
| Lawful Basis | Processing Activities Covered |
|---|---|
| Contractual Necessity | Account creation, deposit and withdrawal processing, wagering, game delivery, customer support, and VIP programme administration. |
| Legal Obligation | KYC identity verification, anti-money laundering compliance, age verification, and mandatory record-keeping for regulatory reporting purposes. |
| Consent | Marketing communications, non-essential cookies, and any processing activity where consent is explicitly sought and obtained from the User. |
| Legitimate Interest | Fraud prevention, platform security monitoring, and service improvement analytics where such interests do not override the fundamental rights and freedoms of the Data Subject. |
1stbet uses the personal data it collects for the following specific and documented purposes:
1stbet does not sell, rent, or transfer your personal data to third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes. Data sharing is limited to the following specific circumstances:
1stbet handles payment data with a heightened level of care given its sensitive nature. All financial transactions are processed over encrypted channels. Full payment card numbers and full bank account credentials are never stored on 1stbet's servers — payment processing is handled by our PCI-DSS compliant payment partners.
Where you submit payment documents for withdrawal verification purposes (such as a bank statement or e-wallet screenshot), these documents are stored securely and accessed only by the verification team. Documents submitted solely for verification are retained only for as long as required under our regulatory obligations and are then securely destroyed.
1stbet uses cookies and similar technologies to operate certain essential platform functions and, where you have provided consent, to improve your experience through analytics and personalisation. The types of cookies used by 1stbet are described below:
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Consent Required? |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Session management, authentication, security tokens, and CSRF protection. These are required for the Platform to function and cannot be disabled. | No — operationally essential |
| Functional | Remembering your language preference, display settings, and logged-in status across sessions to avoid repeated logins. | No — operationally beneficial |
| Analytical | Aggregated, anonymised usage analytics to understand how users navigate the Platform and identify areas for improvement. | Yes — requires consent |
| Marketing | Tracking promotional campaign effectiveness and supporting personalised bonus offer delivery to opt-in Users. | Yes — requires consent |
You may manage your cookie preferences at any time through the cookie settings panel accessible in the Platform footer. Disabling non-essential cookies will not affect your ability to access core Platform functionality, including deposits, withdrawals, and gameplay.
1stbet retains personal data for only as long as is necessary for the specific purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable legal and regulatory obligations. The following general retention periods apply:
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised in a manner that prevents re-identification.
1stbet implements a multi-layered security programme to protect the personal data of all registered users from unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, or disclosure. Key security measures include:
As a registered user of the 1stbet Platform, you hold the following rights in respect of your personal data. These rights may be exercised by contacting our support team using the contact details provided in Section 15.
The 1stbet Platform is strictly restricted to individuals who are 21 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect, process, or store personal data from persons under the age of 21. Date of birth is a mandatory field during account registration and is used specifically to enforce this age restriction.
Where 1stbet has reason to believe that an account is held by or used on behalf of a person under the age of 21, the account will be suspended immediately pending age verification. If a minor's use of the Platform is confirmed, the account will be permanently closed, all associated data will be deleted (subject to any mandatory legal retention obligations), and the matter may be referred to appropriate authorities where required by law.
Parents and guardians are encouraged to make use of parental control software to restrict access to online gambling platforms. If you believe that a minor in your household has registered an account on 1stbet, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected].
As an internationally operating platform, 1stbet may transfer certain personal data to servers or processors located outside Malaysia, including in the jurisdiction of our gaming licence authority. Where such transfers occur, 1stbet ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data to a standard equivalent to the protections afforded under applicable Malaysian data protection legislation.
Safeguards for international data transfers employed by 1stbet include contractual data processing agreements with all third-party processors, compliance with the data transfer requirements of applicable licensing authorities, and, where relevant, the application of standard contractual clauses that obligate the recipient to maintain appropriate data protection standards.
1stbet reserves the right to amend, update, or replace any provision of this Privacy Policy at any time, in response to changes in applicable law, regulatory requirements, business operations, or data processing practices. The updated Policy will be published on this page with a revised effective date.
Where a change to this Policy is material — meaning it significantly alters how your personal data is used or your rights in respect of it — 1stbet will notify registered users via email or through an in-platform notification at least fourteen (14) days before the change takes effect. Continued use of the Platform following the effective date of any amendment constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, wish to exercise any of your data rights, or want to raise a data-related concern, please contact 1stbet using the following channels. All privacy-related enquiries are handled by our dedicated data protection team.
| Channel | Contact Details | Availability |

When submitting a data rights request, please include your registered email address and a clear description of your request. We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests to ensure the security of your account.
All formal data rights requests will be acknowledged within 48 hours and responded to substantively within the timeframes set out in Section 11 of this Policy.
